Dear Reader:
Well, I’m off to Edisto today and will return at the end of the week. After the rather turbulent roller coaster ride of the past two weeks…you can only imagine how strongly the beach and camaraderie is calling me. I need time to re-fuel for more glorious living!.
So I am going to keep things simple on the blog this week….a photo of one of my favorite things and some great quotes by Erma Bombeck (who I always thought had the wittiest, funniest, and most poignant look at life.)
Title Photo: I walked into my “Happy Room” the other morning and the sun’s rays caught this flower arrangement and literally set it on fire. It made me smile….“Well, good morning back to You, too, God and have a good day!”
Three Erma Quotes Worth Remembering:
*When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.
*Never have more children than you have car windows.
*Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I’m taking with me when I go.
So until tomorrow….Remember to take time…to take time… for yourself. Enjoy life!
“Today is my favorite day” Winnie the Pooh
Look who came over to see me and bring me a “Winnie the Pooh” gardener. Stephanie Ballard (she will always be to me.) She and her beautiful daughter went to Disney World and hit it just right with the spectacular garden extravaganza and picked up Winnie the Pooh with his basket of flowers! He is heading to the beach with me today! Stephanie hasn’t changed since she was a teenager babysitting Mandy for me while in high school. My family loved her! So patient and kind!
Honey kept her record going…the first person to respond to the Race for the Cure Challenge….(minutes after the blog was published yesterday morning.) She always sets the “pace” for the race and I love her for it! Thank you and Mike from the bottom of my heart Honey!!!!! The Race is On!
*I will place the information for registering or for donations to the team (Legally Pink) at the bottom of each blog a couple of times a week. Not trying to be pushy, just that I know that accessibility to these links are important for supporters and donations.
