SUNDRY THOUGHTS AND WORDS....

When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I wrote down happy.

They told me I didn't understand the assignment,
I told them they didn't understand life

- Unknown


To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need. ~Vernon Howard

John and turning 60....a delight!

And so the lovely Sunday dinner with the girls and the beautiful flowers from my other sweet kids were followed by a surprise dinner on Tuesday night....with John offering to take me to Macaroni Grill and us getting there only to find he had invited several of our closest friends to join us. I was delightfully surprised...good friends, good food, wonderful man! That was followed on the actual day (*the 12th) with a dinner cooked for me and presents....I met this man at a distance and took a leap of faith to move 2000 miles to be with him and everyday, I am reminded of what a right and wonderful decision that was. I love you John!
