For my birthday–Jillian and her family gave me a ticket to the play–
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
What a wonderful evening we had!
The play was really incredible.
All of the magic that took place on that stage…
was simply…
unbelievable.
We kept looking at each other and whispering…
“How on earth did they do that?!”
Thanks Jillian and Josh.
The whole evening was simply magical and I loved every second of it.
My father had a scrapbook that he kept all kinds of cards and letters in from when he was younger. Now and then, he would take it out and read aloud some of the poems that were pasted on the yellow pages.
One particular verse that was a favorite of his, was one called “Somebody’s Mother” and each time he read it, he would get all choked up and his eyes would fill with tears.
He loved his little Scottish mother. She became blind when he was a younger man and did need help quite often. This poem always reminded him of her, and made him cry.
Her name was Agnes Porter Johnston Kirby.
She passed away before I was born, but the stories he used to tell about her made us grateful for her strong heart and brave example of a faithful wife and mother. It helped us love her too.
I’m excited to meet her someday.
When you’ve waited for absolutely ever…
and the day finally comes…
when you get to blow out the candles…
and open the presents…
and eat the very special Bluey popsicles…
and play in your new Super Kitties tent..
well then…
I’d say it’s a very special day, indeed.
Happy Birthday little Miss C.
I sure love you,
:] Grammy.
on a Friday.
Sweet kids having a King Kong Cone festival. Why wasn’t I there?!
Having a luscious bees’ wax and honey lotion bar from my cute friend’s daughter’s very own bees. Heavenly.
A brave, sweet girlie who is trying to be kind and gentle with Mr. Hobbes–even when he is a little scary sometimes.
Roasted red pepper soup and a triple grilled cheese sandwich. The perfect meal to ward off a scratchy throat.
A cute girl that refuses to stop getting taller! Quit it. Quit it!.
The perfectly toasted marshmallows.
A little kitty who watches everything I do…very, very closely….
even from a silly box.
Good old Mary Poppins floating through a Starry, Starry Night.
The positively perfect breakfast.
Seeing this familiar car with the Arkansas plates in front of me, even if it was just for a week or so.
Pictures of the new Rexburg temple under construction.
Picking a dvd to watch with the grandkids. Nim’s Island won.
My daughter-in-law’s new book Light Among the Shadows.
How about you? What are you loving right now?
It’s always nice, if you’re going to do something awesome and amazing and a little bit scary and a little bit fun…
if you can get a happy little parade of cousins who love you– to wave you off.
Happy Kindergarten “C”! You’re going to love it!!
