YUCK... Happy New Year!??? May this be the only "bad" thing that goes wrong or needs repair this year for you! This craft room is a bigger project than I was thinking it was going to be! LOL!!!At least I'm really CLEANING stuff out! Warmly, deb
Oh nooooo, not a nice way to start the new year but it can only get better now, right??? Such a mess left behind, hopefully it won't take too long before it all looks "normal" again":-) You need snow like we have now to cover all that mess up! lol xoxo
Sweet Marydon! Looks like Harold is going to start 2012 being very busy! Hope it all works out well! Never know what's coming next!
I'm trying to get back to my blogging again but it's been busy with updates for classes and writing...no complaints here though as it's all about what I love doing!
Hope your new year will be wonderful and filled with friends and good wishes!
Oh my! I'm with Garage Sale Gal, while this is so not fun, as my mother always said, "Let's hope this is the worst things that happens this year." Now lots of good and happy things to follow and lots of love from New York!
ohhhhh what a job!! hope harold didn't have to work on this alone! and I'm not meaning you either! now it's time to reseed! although there should be plenty of fertilizer! haha
Oh, no!!!! Someone else had to replace their septic system in December! What an awful month to have to replace anything expensive! Hope you had a great Christmas though, and all my best for the New Year!
Oh I know what that is Marydon! Did they not have hoses long enough to park it in the driveway? They were able to attach several hoses together to reach ours without tearing up our yard. I'm so glad because if they were to drive through our yard like that there would have been a possibility they would have broke our water pipes to our house if the truck is that heavy.
Hi Marydon, Oh my goodness, when things go wrong they really do, don't they? Not the way a new year should start, but life goes this way at times. Been there too, more then I wish to remember!!
Love your sweet avatar with Miss M. So adorable. Happy New Year dear friend. Much Love from Texas, CM
You are on noreply when you comment on my blog and I lost your email address so leaving this here. Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments you have made on my blog. You are truly a wonderful and special Lady, Have a great day.
Happy New Year doll! Your trip to Maryland looks like it was fun! I do love the country roads and the farm houses, that victorian is lovely! Thanks for visiting
I'm an old fahsioned girl so horse and buggy for me. Looks like a nice ride.
As for the beaches you asked about. They are a mixture on Sydney's northern Beaches Avalon Beach Palm Beach ClarevilleBeach and Taylors point on Pittwater. But best of all they are all 5 minutes from home.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend, Before they learn to fly again. On the breath of God they’ll soar, They’ll be stronger than before. Don’t look back into the past, What was fire now is ash. Let it all be dead and gone, The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien Portion of her song lyrics ~ Stronger Than Before
A fool is known by his speech; and a wise man by silence.
~ A Rose ~
Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away. (written for Marie 2/2/13 entered heaven 3/27/13)
The biggest sin one can create for their selves is deceit
A good marriage is the union of two forgivers. ~ Ruth Bell Graham
~ Poignant ~
Our mind is our garden Our thoughts are the seeds So we can grow flowers Or we can grow weeds
Where will you be sitting in eternity ... Smoking ... OR ... Non-smoking
~ Memory ~
He who is not very strong in memory, should not meddle with falsehoods
~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.
~ Unspoken ~
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
~ A Friend... ~
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises, justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, & continues a friend unchangeably.
~ Insight ~
The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children. Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....
Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey
~ Rose Kisses ~
A rose will bud, bloom & glow Beneath the heavenly skies Kissed by God To bring a smile. by Marydon
~ Life's Mirror ~
When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost

... a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be. ~ Beth Moore
