Happy Valentine's Day

Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
ALL grandchildren!

I must be open to it!

For Valentine's Day we often got puzzles, not candy, for some years it fell during Lent.  It was a wonderful time to sit and share time with siblings and just stay warm and cozy when TV was not an option.  Hope you enjoy this one and Happy Valentine's Day to you ALL!

Thanks be to God!!!

Joy In Tea Talk

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the

 comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.

I'm having...a cup of English Breakfast tea


My teacup...a plain mug.

I'm feeling...stuff and sore.  Cleaning yesterday.  Spring cleaning is late and so I over did it.


On my mind...are the plans for this weekend.  Kellie's graduation!   Baccalaureate  is tomorrow night.  Graduation Saturday at 4:00!  So proud to be a grandmother.

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Joy comes in many forms.

Kellie's Special Day!!!
I must be open to it!

Granddaughter, Kellie, is in the summer production of the Warrick County musical Oklahoma!!!! This is one of my FAVORITE musicals and as a child I loved to sing this song! Just the best rhythm and lyrics and fun to sing! What's your favorite song from Oklahoma?
