Hardy phlox from my mom's Main Street house

(she moved from there in 1995) . . .

Hardy gladiolas I planted many years ago

just because she loved them.

I took her some every year when they bloomed . . .

Mom, I still think of you most every day; I miss you.

Since there are no photos of today's activity

(paperwork, paperwork, repeat),

here are four Blessings cards I made last week . . .

[ The "I am" card looks much better in print.
Actually, they all do. ]

My original goal was to have 100 cards by the end of 2009.

My revised goal is to have 100 cards by whenever

and to have at least one verse from each book of the Bible.

Doable.

Today I went visiting.

I saw Jane and Kie and Libbe

at Willowfield Lavender Farm . . .

Playing with over-exposure again . . .

And, near the potting shed . . .

Second visit:
Aunt Kay is home from rehab - yippee.

Lori is still here with her mom and it was great to visit with her.

Vince's family has a saying . . . "spraddled angel" . . .

This is our sleeping (and spraddled) Anya.
