Love is...

This sweet little Love is...is a favorite of mine. I have begged my hubby for years to take some dancing lessons with me. No such luck! But he will run while I walk with him during the warm months. A compromise is better than no prize at all!
So come visit Marydon and share your Love is..with us.

I AM BLUE: BUT ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

I know you may tire of my stories of Boots but that kitty was such a dear friend to me. I am going to receive his ashes and bury some in n my yard. We have to work on the yard and what a tribute I can make to him. I am looking for someone to help me design a grave marker. The ones I am finding are absolutely unaffordable!
I will surround this final resting place with lovely flowers. How about these:

Pretty purple and blue columbines. Just a perfect mix for Blue Monday

A pretty blue bouquet for my friend. I know he would have loved to stop and smell these.

 A peace rose for a peaceful resting place.

I hope you will join Marydon and Sally and show off your Love is.. favorites along with your favorite blues.

“The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.”

(Hilary Stanton Zunin)

Thank you for indulging me with my tremendous loss of Boots.

SPRING FORWARD: SHARE LOVE IS.....

I am getting ready to Spring forward! I like gaining that hour in the winter but I really dislike giving it back in the Spring! So if you are one of the lucky ones who gets to participate in this crazy time change here is a gentle reminder.


Last week I missed posting my Love is... as well as my Pink Saturday posts. I have missed several Blue Monday ones too. Here is the reason why"

I was actually the one vacuuming. My Sweets is working around the house, repainting and getting ready for the warmer weather. I ran out and bought a new Kenmore 12 gal. wet dry vac. It is wonderful! When they worked on our C trap they knocked a hole in the wall to find the water line. They have these tacky plastic door covers but he had to patch around it and put some new drywall and texture. A day project became a three day project! But the updates are nice.
I missed Love is.. last weekend.  Marydon posted about Angel Dawn and I hope everyone will support this pretty young lady and send some prayer, good wishes and some cheer her way! Her struggles have really made me see how courage  looks. I have prayed for this precious girl since I heard about it and and I won't stop.

 Better get some rest. Tomorrow we will be doing more of this!

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Love is.... and 1970s Commercials

Hee Hee! We usually don't kiss and tell these days but when we were younger we always stole a kiss at the stoplight! It is my favorite memory of youth!

I was visiting Parsley.  She was talking about singing in the car with her hubby and their daughter getting a kick out of the two of them.

I found these two commercials from the 70s and I loved them. My oldest daughter was a little girl and she would sing this Enjoli commercial and imitate the actors:

Then there was the Suzy Chaffee commerical with Jim "Catfish" Hunter donning their "Chapstick".

Stop over and visit Marydon and all the other Love is...participates.

Don't miss out on my Pay it Forward giveaway. Just comment that you want to be included. It is going to be a surprise.

Happy Easter and congratulations to our son Nick who took 2nd in the Track and Field Invite yesterday in the snow and the cold and the rain and the wind! He ran the 3200 k in 10:48! Nick has not run track and field since 2009 so we are very proud of him. He is a cross country man and the longer the distance the quicker he can run!
