I Texted A Photo

Photo: The Dining Room Bookshelves

 Yesterday, I started cleaning, 

sorting and rearranging the 

bookshelves in the dining room.

While changing things up a bit, 

I found a unique photo of my grandmother.

Thinking that I was doing a nice thing,

I texted the photo to a few people,

hoping that it might make them smile.

But no.

Crickets.

It made me sad....

I wish you a happy Saturday.

Love you beyond the moon.

A Birthday

Photo: 5 year old me

 Birthdays are wonderful.

Especially when they are someone else's.

I adore watching someone on their special day.

But.......today is my birthday.

My phone has been buzzing (text messages) since 6:30 this morning 

and I am in awe of the love 

coming to me today.

Thank you. 

Thank you for remembering me, 

sharing the love in your heart 

and reminding me how awesome

 my friends and family truly are.

Larry has been celebrating me all week. 

He cooked dinner for me on Sunday,

 sent me the most beautiful flowers,

made a donation to Team Believe 

(Komen) and each time he walks past me, 

he says Happy Birthday and kisses my cheek.

There are two great days in a person’s life – the day we are born and the day we discover why.

It really feels like a birthday today.

Here is to 72 years.

Love you beyond the moon.

Sunday Dinner

It has been a long couple of weeks here at The Cottage, but we are managing just fine.

The weather has been wonky, and I am getting a few summer ART projects done.

Larry cooked Sunday dinner for us. It was fantastic.

(He also sent me the flowers that are on the table)

I wish you a happy day.

Love you beyond the moon.

 We had a visitor on Saturday.

He spent most of the day in our back garden 

and visited with Larry before leaving 

to go back to his home.

Happy Monday.

Love you beyond the moon.
