Perhaps.....

Perhaps it is time to start blogging again. The urge has moved me to tap the keys and write. I have been doing a lot of thinking during the last few weeks, and my poor little brain is quite tired. Perhaps taking those floating words, and writing them down will give my brain a rest.

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I enjoyed a wonderful time with my girls. We went out to lunch at a little restaurant called The Naked Crepe. Delicious! Filling! I love spending time with my two daughters and two granddaughters. They are such a blessing to me.

I have decided that I really need to concentrate on them, on my blessings, and not think about what could be if things were different. I have been looking at old photos of D and H, and then R and L. It is hard to believe that all those years have passed. I must have done something right to have such beautiful and loving daughters, to see them now as grown women, each with their own special gifts and personalities.

When you get to be my age, and  look back, sometimes I think, I should have done things differently, and I question decisions I made, and yet I know that I did my best at the time in each circumstance, with what I knew. You can't second guess yourself, and you can't change things now, you just have to keep moving forward. Life throws you a lot of curves, and you just have to get around them and look for the straight way ahead.

I am still missing, and will for a long time, my little Sadie. I still expect to see her sitting there beside me. But I am better, and smile when I look back at pictures of her adventures.

Spring has finally arrived...

The first bud on the magnolia tree.....

.....and more buds and blooms

I have spent some time painting rocks. When I don't want to think about other things

I paint. Black and white seemed to have been a theme.......

I do not know what I am going to do with these, but

painting them is good for the soul.

And.......

as I was going through some old pictures, I came across this one,

To explain, I used to do puppet shows and above is my puppet Floyd. He is

weird looking but I had a lot of fun with him entertaining children and

older folk. I put the photo on fb and was amazed at how many people remembered him

from their childhood. I look quite a bit younger of course, since this is about 25+ years ago.......

This picture was from our local paper....they must have done some sort of write up,

but I can't quite remember why. I used to go to the schools and libraries so maybe it

was about that. Or, perhaps it was about the fun baby shower my friends had for me, 

so that Floyd would have some clothes. What a riot. What a fun time.

It was long, long ago.......

Enough for today............

It is good to be back.......

Perhaps I will be more regular in my postings....

Perhaps.......
