What could be more fun than sharing a bubbly with someone special?
Day 7 challenge: Share a bubbly with someone you LOVE.
I’m sort of cheating here because I am going to be sharing bubbly root beer floats with my club friends tonight. Some special ladies that are dear to my heart!
I’m sure we all remember the saying that goes something like this, “We can hold our children’s hands for a while, their hearts forever.”
As parents sometimes we wish that we could hold time in a bottle and keep our children from growing up.
Nothing makes me feel better than knowing our adult children still want to spend time with their mom and dad.
Two of our children called and invited themselves to watch the Super Bowl with us. Now that’s something to CHEER about!
Todays challenge: Spend time with those you love.
Now, this next pic has nothing to do with this post but I wanted to show you what Lonnie and Tracy discovered by our front porch Fri. night.
Look at the size of those bird prints. That’s some Big Bird!
What do you think it is?
If I wasn’t such an oldie I would swear that it was the STORK delivering me a wee young’n. (been watching a lot of BBC lately)
Anyway, Happy Super Bowl to you!
Do you ever feel like your heart is hanging on by a thread?
Don’t be afraid to give your heart away!
Day 5 challenge: Send a Valentine to someone you Love.
I will be mailing 4 of them to my dear sisters, whom I love with all my heart!
I can hardly wait to tell you todays challenge so I can get on to bigger and better things.
Sorry, but I’m finding myself a bit bored with my recent posts.
I’m nice, but not that nice!
Geez Louise, I just realized that it’s only day 4. That means 10 more days to go. Oh, I can do it but I might just have to sneak in something a little more exciting now and then.
Day 4 Challenge: Kiss your sweetie before you say ‘goodnite’
My hubby and I have done a lot of wrong things in our 38 years of marriage.
One thing that we’ve done right is we kiss each other before going to sleep each night and before he leaves for work in the morning.
It’s as habitual as brushing my teeth. I’d be out of sorts if it didn’t happen.
Now that’s done I must share with you my latest.
Not to say that kissing isn’t a good thing – there’s nothing quite like a good kiss!
I went to get a hair cut yesterday, didn’t happen; but then that’s a whole other story.
Found a few finds in ‘The Emporiums’ gift shop.
Look at this pillow sporting my favorite color, red. I adore the muslin trailing flowers. So dang cute!
Also found this wreath to match. It has a burlap base which put a pounding in my heart. You’d think I was raised in a potato sack. My hairdresser, Shalona is a very creative woman.
Now with the purchase of my new treasures my latest dilemma is, “Where am I going to hang that wreath?”
Only my hairdresser knows for sure. :)
Day 3 challenge: Bake, (or take) a treat for someone sweet!
Amanda is one of the ladies that comes to stitching group. She is a real Sweetheart!
Last week I asked her if her hubby would make a frame for a pieced heart that I made a few years ago.
The next day she called me and said that it was done. She wouldn’t let me pay her so I thought I would make some sugar cookies for her and her awesome hubby.
Yesterday my dear friend Ann stopped by needing someone to talk to. Last Saturday her 12 year old daughter, Elise was diagnosed with diabetes. I can relate to how she is feeling because my oldest daughter, Nichole was diagnosed at the age of 11.
Peggy and I are going to take them dinner tonight. I think they will enjoy a few cookies. I know what you are thinking, “What, sugar?”. Those of us who have type 1 diabetics know that anything they eat other than protein goes to sugar in the blood stream. It really is about moderation. One cookie for sweet Elise.
My prayers are with her and her family and hope that she can get it under control and realize with time that she’ll be ok. Kind of hard for a 12 year old to understand.
It’s time to take a peek out our own little window and see what’s going on in this busy world. Everyone needs a little LOVE in their life.
Todays challenge: Say ‘HI’ to as many people as possible. Count on, it will be interesting to see how many people we come across in a day.
So many times we miss opportunities to brighten someone’s day. Sometimes a simple ‘HI’ is all it takes.
The Month of LOVE
From now until Valentines Day I am going to challenge myself daily to show some type of affection.
Feel free to join me in these challenges and I would love to hear your results.
Todays challenge: Hug at least one person
This should be an easy one.
xoxoxo
I realize that these are going to be things that we should be doing all of the time. I don’t think that it hurts to bring it to our attention every now and then. What better time than the month of February?
I'm a mother of 5 married children, I have 10 darling grand children with fun and crazy personalities. They help to keep me young. I love the outdoors and love to garden. Just something about getting my hands into ...
