Christmas tag

Just a little gift tag for myself I made up one night....

Been a long time

 

Geesh it's hard to believe I haven't posted here in almost 2 months.  Have I not had anything positive to say or happen?

Of course I have.  I have attended 2 beautiful weddings this summer.

I'm slowly getting my house in order.

I have wonderful friends near and far.

Miss T survived the transition into Middle School.

Been thinking about taking some brush up sewing classes and learning more about my serger.

 

Also joined a PSP learning group and I am able to create now.

Looking forward to the annual Florida Christmas trip to visit the girls.  I want to see more of that area of Florida.  Tired of it just being "all about my FIL" - time for ME to have fun on MY vacation.

Between Friends

Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out.
Both were very faithful and loving wives, but they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers.

Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to pee, so they stopped in the cemetery.

One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them. She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to wipe with that. After the girls did their business, they proceeded to go home. The next day one of the women's husbands was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, 'These girl nights out have got to stop! I'm starting to suspect the worst... My wife came home with no panties!!'

'That's nothing,' said the other husband, 'Mine came back with a card stuck to her butt that said......
'From all of us at the Fire Station. We'll never forget you!'

My Sunday July 6th

My Sunday - Nothing but sitting on a chair at the beach and flying a kite feeling the warm sun and enjoying the sound of the surf!

My kite decided to "chase" Miss T - was the funniest thing, it dive bombing her over and over.  And she actually dared it several times. 

Wish I'd had an extra hand to take pictures of it, better yet a video!

Wish Pearl From T

Happy Mother's Day to ME!

Believe....

A birth certificate shows that we were born; a death certificate shows that we died; pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat. Relax.   And read this slowly.

      I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

      I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

      I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

      I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

      I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want  to be.

      I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

      I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

      I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

      I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

      I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

      I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

      I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

      I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

      I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

      I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

      I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

      I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

      I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

      I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

      I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

      I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

      I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

      The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
