“You know you’ve read a good book…
when you turn the last page…
and feel a little as if…
you have lost a friend.”

This moment…
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
Happy Saturday my dears!
Kitty Feet
A zillion years ago, when I turned 12, my cute little daddy made me this pretty cake for my birthday. At the time, we had just dealt with my cat stepping on one of his cakes. We had no idea how it happened, but there it was–the paw print smushing into one discreet corner of the thing. It was a fiasco and he had to make a whole new cake. Oooohh…he was mad. I even thought that maybe…maybe, my kitty loving days were coming to an end.
A week or so later, when he’d cooled off, he made this cake for my birthday. Oh, do please note the kitty footprints all around the edges.
It was an incredibly sweet thing to do…considering.
I’ve hung on to that silly green kitten for all these millions of years because every time I put it in a giveaway box, or go to throw it out, I remember my funny dad making that cake to show that he wasn’t mad at me or my cats anymore…
and I can’t do it.
Pretty sure anything that feels like that sort of love…
is worth holding on to.

Flower Power
We took the babies to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival for the first time in our livin’ lives. It was a lovely, lots of walking, flowery adventure. We saw pink tulips…
and crashing waterfalls,
yellow daffodils,
and secret gardens.
We saw orange and purple tulips…
and a cliff-dwelling mama owl.
We saw a sleepy baby Chompy…
and more tulips!
These were some of the really fancy ones–inside–entered in a competition for the most beautiful flower in the universe.
…although we did have a couple of our own…
and they were “blooming” cute.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
:]
