As It Should Be

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 Weekend everyone!

Too Busy…

I’m so sorry but I can’t write a post today. You see, I’m waaay too busy…

playing with them…

baking these…

watering that…

making this…

watching them…

washing those…

feeding him…

searching through these…

vacuuming them…

picking those…

photographing that…

tidying these…

and reading this.

All in an effort to…

relax and be calm…

while waiting patiently…

for him.

Oh do wish me luck…

Minor Changes

When my Daney boy walks back through the door–in less than 2 days–he’s going to find a few surprises.

For instance–these little birdies–

are a little bit…

bigger…

and there’s a new man in my life…named Mr. Caine.

He’ll find that this slick spot has been replaced…

by this. Miracle Gro is an amazing product.

Where there was just dirt…

there are a million flowers…

and ripe, red strawberries…well almost.

Why, even the  “more substantial” mom that he left…is a…ahhh… lesser person…these days…so-to-speak.  ;}

The wild lands…

have been tamed…

and where there were a few Patriots…

there are now Vikings.

These two dudes…

have a birdie he’s never even met before.

With all these surprises, I wonder if he will notice a huge new thing…

his mama…

is a happy little blogger.

With Honor

“As a young man, I had an opportunity to serve in the U.S. Air Force as a jet-fighter pilot. Each unit in our squadron had a motto that would inspire its efforts. Our unit motto—displayed on the side of our aircraft—was “Return with Honor.” This motto was a constant reminder to us of our determination to return to our home base with honor only after having expended all of our efforts to successfully complete every aspect of our mission. This same motto, “Return with Honor,” can be applied to each of us in our eternal plan of progression. Having lived with our Heavenly Father and having come to earth life, we must have determination to return with honor to our heavenly home.”
