O Susan

‘O Susan, Susan, lovely dear,
My vows shall ever true remain;
Let me kiss off that falling tear;
We only part to meet again.
Change as ye list, ye winds; my heart shall be
The faithful compass that still points to thee.
John Gay (1685–1732)

Clever to pair this quote with Black-Eyed Susans! Very good! We have many of these hardy flowers around our house and barn.

Does Anyone Read This Any more?

I feel the need to share again. To put my thoughts on the table for those to read. Nothing earth shattering, I don't think, but none the less, I feel the need. Turmoil? Unrest? No...perhaps wishing for a little more happy in my life. How do I find a little more happy? You can't rely on other people to make you happy. Happiness comes from within.  Happiness comes from myself.  I am responsible for my own happiness.  There it is. How shall I proceed to find that happiness?  Getting involved in my creative side?  Allowing that instinct to flow once again? Since the company I worked for closed last year, I have felt as though there was a void in my life.  The void stems from not having that financial security I once had.  Oh, I have a part time job in a field I never thought I'd enter.  Food industry.  It's fun actually, but I'm sure that is because I work with a awesome woman who is my friend.  A person I thought would never give me...

All of their meteorologists have a dazed look in their eyes. They are giddy with anticipation of a big snow event. And let me just clarify myself as to what constitutes a "big snow event" in Atlanta. First, just the forecast of snow makes everyone nutso. Store shelves are emptied of bread, makings for chili, brownie mix and milk. If we actually do get snow, and I must say that we will get flurries once a winter, all TV is interrupted for "black ice" warnings Yes, we are a bit crazy! Secondly, if there is an inch of snow, than the weather channels declare "Snow Jam 2010"! Nothing else in the world is news worthy as Snow Jam 2010 becomes our only news event. Since living here in Georgia, we once received 7 inches of snow. Trucks could not come into replenish the store shelves. Sch...

There are just some things that cannot be wasted. I will go to great lengths to conserve my favorite body lotion. . Philosophy Body Emulsion Amazing Grace has magical powers. This is the only body lotion I’ve used that actually makes a difference. After showering, apply to dry skin, and your body feels silky soft. The key to this product's popularity is its lasting power. From shower to shower, my skin feels fabulous. With all that said, it is good till the last drop! PS....you can purchase Philosophy line on QVC, Philosophy stores or online. Use the link.
