In Your Golden Chain of Friendships...

This was my mother's autograph book when she was just a girl. My sister, her girls and my girls had such fun reading through this sweet book.

The page is opened to her grandmother's message. dated 1937. "In your golden chain of friendships, let me be one little link."

Blossoms at Moms

Mom had this tree planted a couple of year's ago in her back yard. I felt sad that spring blossoms were so late blooming this year and she missed the beauty.

This was an amazing view this morning on the front lawn of my mother's home. The photo does not do it justice. 

"Magnetic" Bookmarks???

Just tell me WHY anyone would need a "magnetic" bookmark!

A Basket of Sympathy

This basket is filled with sympathy cards. For two weeks now I have been receiving two or three cards each day. I did not realize how much a card can comfort. Such sweet and thoughtful friends. It makes me want to be more aware and giving. And the basket holding the cards was my Grandpa Wardle's. It was filled with fruit and given to him before he died in 1954. I was two years old.

Dark Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

A "sweet" gift from my friend Brenda.

Stuck in the Fence

Every time I pull into a particular parking spot at work this is the scene in front of me. It catches me off guard even though I have thoroughly checked it out. It is not a bird, stuck in the fence...jsut a piece of wood.
