The Way That We Look At the World

A Card For Michele

I was really pleased with the way that this card turned out.

Most times,  they kind of create themselves. Its on watercolor paper.

My muse had a good day. I love her.

Anniversary Number 22

Today is our 22nd anniversary.

Joe gave me these roses.

8-9-89 was the date that we chose,  so we'd remember it easily.

Here is where I played with photo,  in my new life in my keeper marriage.

Adorable Planking of Cats

 Planking or the lying down game is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game.^[1] Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play.^[1] The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank.

Many participants of planking since 2011 have photographed the activity on unusual locations such as atop poles, roofs and vehicles, while some "plankers" engage in the activity by planking only their upper body and feet while leaving the back suspended.

Now check out the cats!  This is one of my favorite all time emails!

And my fav of the faves is the cat with the hinds paws at the forefront of the photo.

You'll love it.

My Miracle Mom

Happy Mother's Day, Ma

                                  My Miracle Mother

 Mom, I look at you

and see a walking miracle.

Your unfailing love without limit,

your ability to soothe my every hurt,

the way you are on duty, unselfishly,

every hour, every day,

makes me so grateful

that I am yours, and you are mine.

With open arms and open heart,

with enduring patience and inner strength,

you gave so much for me,

sometimes at your expense.

You are my teacher,

my comforter, my encourager,

appreciating all, forgiving all.

Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,

but I don’t now, and I never will again.

I know that everything I am today

relates to you and your loving care.

I gaze in wonder

as I watch you being you—

my miracle, my mother.

Look What Sue Dropped Off Today

She said, "Happy May Day". 

And drove off into the sunset.

I'm so blessed.
