The Birthday Girl

Our second daughter was born on a hot, first day of summer, in Memphis Tennessee.

It was 5:00 in the afternoon and she was almost born in the hallway of Methodist Hospital.

Thank goodness she wasn't.

Jamison. My buddy.

May she enjoy the special moments that a birthday brings....and the love that only a family can give.

Happy Birthday Dear Jami.

I love you beyond the moon.

Mother.

New Growth

Photo-Birds Nest Fern by Robin

A Birds Nest Fern plant sits on the

 breakfast bar at The Cottage.

I am not sure if I am taking care 

of it the correct way,

but it has new growth.

It is Thursday already and

I have had a head ache for two days. 

The dog that lives behind us will not stop barking,

and it is agitating both Larry and me.

I guess the "dog days" have started early this year.

Love you beyond the moon.

Full Circle

Photo: A Little Book

Last week, while  cleaning the book shelves,  

I found a little book that had fallen

 behind some of the shorter books.

I hate when that happens...

when they fall like that 

it is almost as they have fallen 

into a black hole never 

to be found again, 

but in this instance, 

the book was found. 

I opened it.....

It was a Christmas (stocking) gift 

to Larry from me.

Larry had been to France with a 

dear friend the year before,

and we were planning a 

family trip to Paris that year.

But 1995 was the year my Mother died.

When I found this tiny book last week,

I became sad all over again.

Isn't it interesting how life goes 

full circle when you least expect it?

Love you beyond the moon.

Photo: Sunday Dinner

 Menu

Beef Short Ribs cooked with Veggies

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Roll 

and

Cheese Plate

Cherry Pie

Movie: The Best Offer

Larry and I love this movie.

It took me a couple of days to post the Sunday Dinner update....I'm not sure why I am so far behind.

Perhaps it is just the weather?

Why do people always blame 

being grumpy on the weather?

Love you beyond the moon.

Sunday Flowers

Photo: Tulips by Robin

 Larry brought me Sunday Flowers yesterday.....

Purple Tulips!

Purple tulips are believed to have a calming effect on our minds and bodies. They are known to reduce stress and anxiety, and promote relaxation and inner peace. Purple tulips are often used in meditation practices to help us connect with our higher selves and the divine.

How on earth did Larry know I needed purple tulips?

Happy Monday.

Love you beyond the moon.
