The photo challenge this week took me back to the pictures I have from the Flower and Garden Show my husband and I went to in February. There were so many cool things to see there, but after reading the prompt for today's post I immediately thought of this one. It kind of reminds me of the … Continue reading Gorgeous Gowns

Boys Will Be Boys Is Unacceptable
More often than not, I'm happy to say where I went to college. I had a great experience as an undergrad, involved in activities, being a student leader; oh, and going to classes that I enjoyed with terrific faculty. Yesterday though, I heard about a classmate's daughter and the horrible incident that is forever a … Continue reading Boys Will Be Boys Is Unacceptable
Happy Trees
Due to my long day at work, this is what I didn't get to see in the sunlight today (I took this picture over the weekend). It's the single most beautiful tree our neighborhood; at least it is to me. For the past six springs I've looked forward to seeing it in full color, like it is … Continue reading Happy Trees
The Butterfly Light Award
How cool is this; an award for something I enjoy doing every day--what could be better? This morning when I opened up in connection to Word Press, I found a message from Charlene. She'd nominated me for a Butterfly Light Award. I read on to find out that recognizes those bloggers who spread a little … Continue reading The Butterfly Light Award
My Award Acceptance Speech
In your imaginary award acceptance speech (yes, we know you have one), who’s the very last — and most important — person you thank? "...And finally, the most important thank you goes out to my family...all of them: parents, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles. I've been blessed to have all of … Continue reading My Award Acceptance Speech
Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened! You know that television commercial for a well-known insurance company, the one where a man helps a woman with her stroller, then she helps someone else...and on it goes? I'd like to think that's how … Continue reading Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
You’ve been given the superpower to change one law of nature. How do you use it? Thankfully, I'm not in charge of the world! I'll leave that to the good Lord above to keep an eye things. I also am not sure I can name more than one or two of the laws of nature, … Continue reading Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
I Used Too Many Words Today
...leaving me with few to use for a complete blog post. Here is my thanks for today:
Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Two birds with one stone again today...I like it when this happens! It's National Teacher Appreciation Day, and the prompt for today is: What is the one word or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it? The absolute first thing that popped into my head is: Teachers Rock! Totally, they do! Being a … Continue reading Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Three years ago today, my thyroid--cancerous nodules and all, was removed. During the "whole body scan" a few months later there were no errant tumor cells and the tumor marker in my blood work came back negative. Throughout the last 266 days of blogging, I've thanked many of the people who had some role in my diagnosis, … Continue reading Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
