A Wonderful Night with Friends and Family...

Spent a wonderful evening at Flatbreads in Canton tonight to raise money for the Immaculate Conception Homeless Men's Shelter...My whole family joined me, along with many friends and supportive caring people. Linda did a great job, once again...it was a huge success and will be a great help to this shelter.

Feelin' a little cranky...

After three straight days of cold and rain...with more rain to come...I am feeling a wee bit CRANKY...and this little alien in the school window seemed to feel my pain today...kindred spirits!

Laurel Burch Inspired Cats...

Today we started our last session of "Mondays with Monet" for the school year...lots of returning students...first on our agenda...a modern twist with Laurel Burch's fantasy inspired felines...such colors!!

Therapy sessions...

"Dreams are free therapy...but you can only get appointments at night." (A pillow sitting on a chair in Collinsville Sweet Shoppe this morning)

Bring on the Spring...

The trees around me are bursting out in glorious shades of purples and pinks...and the scent of lilacs is heavenly to me!

Anticipation...is making me wait....

"One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides."-W.E. Johns....Lauren helped me plant my Mother's Day flowers after dinner tonight...now we just have to wait for the bulbs to burst through the dirt and the vinca vines to travel lazily down the sides of the copper bucket....I am not good at waiting though!

Mothers....daughters...grandaughters...

Mothers Day...and I miss my mom...but I am blessed with two beautiful daughters...I am only sorry that my daughters never got to meet their grand mother...they would have loved her and she would have so enjoyed them!
