Day Forty Seven 2011

"Of winter's lifeless world each tree

Now seems a perfect part;

Yet each one holds summer's secret

Deep down within its heart."

~~ Charles G. Stater

Day Forty Six 2011

Grandson Elijah's class had their Valentine party today at school. He brought in his big decorated envelope and dumped his goodies on the couch to inspect the heart-shaped sweets and Valentine cards from all his classmates. He was thrilled with all his candy (the cards, not so much). What kid wouldn't be? When you're that age, that's what Valentine's Day is all about.

Day Forty Five 2011

Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. Love is not proud, rude, self-seeking or easily angered. Love does not keep a record of wrongs or delight in evil. Love rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Of faith, hope and love, the greatest of these is love.

~~First Corinthians 13~~

Wishing everyone a Happy Heart today!

Day Forty Four 2011

Coffeehouse Peeps met at Poet's On The Square this afternoon for some tasty drinks and some lively conversation. Topics of discussion ranged from Bieber Fever to summer road trips. We were rowdy as always but that's okay because it's that kind of place. I always enjoy our crazy fun times at Poet's! I heart you all!!

Day Forty Three 2011

My sweet peep daughters gave me a gift certificate for Best Buy for my birthday recently. I browsed around their online store and landed in the MP3 players, and I thought how cool it would be to have a microscopic iPod Shuffle. So I promptly spent my gift on this tiny gadget that will store a good deal of most of my fave tunes. I know. I'm the last person in the galaxy to have one of these. But it's the latest generation (which means maybe they've worked out some of the bugs). I ended up with the silver one because, well, I really didn't think to check out any other colors. That's okay. Daughter Kelly assures me that silver is 'sleek' and will probably sell better than say a pink one if I ever want to get rid of it down the road--when I've gone completely deaf from the music screaming into my ears from those little ear buds. How cool is that?!
