It's Monday and I'm Home

Arriving home yesterday after a wonderful weekend, I determined that there is no bed like your own bed. Maybe it's the smell of you own pillows or the fact that one of three of my cats is always on the bed near me.
Some of the highlights of the trip was seeing my mom. Her hug meant everything to me. We have this thing where when hugging, we rock side to side. It doesn't matter that I'm 55 years old, I still find this so comforting.
Who else but your mother will look into your eyes with complete love and honestly and say "You ARE beautiful!"
My sister is beyond perfect. Even though she works her skinny butt off (she's lost 35 pounds and looks amazing!), she did everything possible to make each minute of each day perfect for us. For that, I am so thankful.
No one treats us better than family. Our own flesh and blood care beyond measure.
More to come later. I'm downloading all of my photos as I write. I cannot ignore the fabulous lunch with MPM nor the fact that I must share the whole tub incident!
Cheers!

Home is where the heart is, and home is always better with mom.

Sounds like a real nice weekend with family. Mom and I rock side to side a tiny bit when we hug, too. :o) I'm going home to visit next month, can't wait!

Tub incident? And MPM was there? Hmmm . . . there must have some cocktails involved.

So glad you had a wonderful time. This post was so good to read, Deb. You really needed this and your family sounds so wonderful.

Hi Deb....this is so funny...whenever I hug my daughter or friends from back home that i haven't seen in awhile I do the exact same thing...hug and rock....side to side...it just makes that hug last a little bit longer....

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
