Awesome Weekend

I’ll see you in my prayers.
I pray your weekend is a happy, healthy one.
Bee well!

Oh, but before I leave you,
let me show you
my darling great-grandson,
Xander Cantwell,
who celebrated his 3rd birthday this week.

Isn’t that a winning smile?

Xander tried to blow out the candle on his cake,
but he doesn’t know how to blow yet.
Tried to get the flame to go out by spitting on it!
That’s the piece he got to eat.
Ah memories!!
I bet he’ll know how to blow
by his next birthday!

Enjoy your Saturday!
See ya tomorrow.

Yes, I Salvaged the Cake!

One of my blogging friends asked,
Did you salvage that cake?

The Shortcut Syndrome

Yes, I was able to cut off the burned parts,
Turn it over on a cake plate,
and frost it with whipping cream.
And it was delicious!

Thanks for reassuring me.
Even the worst of our mistakes
Can turn out OK,

IF we don’t give up!

But, the best solution is
Read the fine print to begin with!

Have a great Monday evening.
.
We’re headed to visit our dear neighbors
Who are here for the summer
and then leave in the fall –
headed for warmer weather.

Chickens!!

Only kidding…
You’re not chicken for leaving in winter…
But we will sure miss all our “Snowbirds!”

5 guys - Mt. Baldy
Four of these five guys head for warmer climate in winter.
Only Bob – on the left – the guy in shorts –
the one who thinks it’s warm
when others are cold-
will remain!

And both of my girlfriends here will leave.
Penny, on the right, is the one
we are saying farewell to tonight.

Oh, but I can’t cry.
I need to count my blessings.
Better to have ’em part of the year
rather than not at all.
.
And thanks, Mrs Hen, for the egg whites.
Without them I couldn’t have made that
angelfood cake!

eggs in the metal basket

See ya tomorrow, my blogging friends.

Adopt a Daughter

545834_3580426591157_418620527_n

In 1961 I graduated from college

With a K-8 teaching credential

I had been student teaching at

A school near my university

And I was blessed to

Get a 1st grade teaching job there.

 

My room mother was Florence,

A dear lady with a darling daughter, Lorei.

Florence kept in touch

Through the years, even though

In 1962 I left that darling class

To marry my darling Bob
(It was a fairytale wedding)

And moved with him to Germany.

Lorei’s parents both died

While she was still quite young –

Not out of college yet,

So we connected again – delighted to do so –

And we became her Mom&DadBee.

Ah yes, daughters are indeed

Such a blessing

And we are blessed now

To have three!

Lorei (in CA)

Laina (in Maryland)

And our DeDeBee (in Switerland)

Are you blessed like me??

I hope so!

If not, look around – there’s a daughter who needs you out there!!

Count and share your blessings everyday!

 

BTW, I think I need to adopt Bob’s ski buddy as my #4 daughter

My Daughter #4, Nancy <3
See ya tomorrow
