Monday - Making a Rose

We all want to give gifts that last and roses are beautiful but their beauty fades fairly quick. So, why not make a rose that will last a while?

All you need to do is have a little patience and a good eye. I tried to make one but my son asked me if I had my glasses on while I was cutting my pieces - needless to say, I gave up. But here's my son making a Valentine's present.

Happy Days

Wishing you all Love and Laughter

Happy Valentine's Day

Oh my Love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
Oh my Love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my Bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
'til all the seas gone dry:

'til all the seas gone dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Love
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

FLEXIBLE

Thought For The Day:



Women are Angels.

And when someone breaks our wings....

We simply continue to fly ......... On a broomstick...

We are flexible....

Have a Green Valentine

And I don't mean a holiday filled with jealousy. I'm talking about an earth-friendly celebration. There's no better way to share the love. We all know you can't buy happiness or love and tree hugger has some great ideas.

You'll not only be protecting the planet, you'll be saving a little money at the same time, all while relaxing at home. If you decide to have a nice romantic dinner at home with your sweetie. Or, make some popcorn balls and use a little red food coloring to decorate the treats and then simply shape them into hearts.

What about you, do you have any sweet ideas to help celebrate in a green-theme kind of way?

Secrets of Eden by Chris Bohjalian

Tuesday night I went to Powell's Books to hear Chris Bohjalian talk about his new book Secrets of Eden. Considering the topic of domestic abuse, it was a very fun reading. I thoroughly enjoyed Chris Bohjalian's is talk and will plan to read his book, as soon as I get a little further down my stack of TBR.
