T.O. Thank you so much for all the “ear Candy” songs and “eye and ear candy”
videos. They are real gift. “Your” video of Sandra’s birth was "just what the doctor ordered". I am glad you were the videographer and gave us all much laughter. It is so important for laughter to be a part of each day.
Sandra, as usual, your “snaps” are outstanding. However, I do not share your
love of cherries. When I was a kid, we had a huge cherry tree and it was
our job to pit all the cherries, buckets and buckets and buckets of them.
“Back in those days,” we pitted them by hand—one cherry at a time.
Perhaps we should add “ear candy”, “eye candy” and “snaps” to our Grateful Living
Forum dictionary. That will now give us four entries – ear candy, eye candy, familyhood, and snaps.
T.O. I just read your story about the Black Woman and
you have just added another word to our dictionary. This story is a real “keeper”
and has given birth to “story candy.” We now have 5 dictionary words.
Sparrow, Dear, I couldn’t agree more about living where the seasons change.
This was in an email I received this morning and you were immediately thought
of—so here it is.
Diane, thank you for all the “new Romans.” They have made Sandra’s and Liliwings’s day and given all of us many laughs. Your day at La Jolla Cove, etc., sounds like a day filled with “eye candy”
Buba, your skies and swallows are wonderful and your nighttime photo
of the bridge over the river Danub is exquisite. The tree is such a strong
reminder with your comment that there is always hope for new life. Yes, I am
jealous—all that with a phone camera. You are truly a “miracle worker” with a phone camera.
Juliana, that is so sad that the kids would do something like that. We
often have kids come to the door with legitimately collecting for the poor kids. Others sell lemonade at corner stands in subdivisions.
Sandra, dear, You know that you are always in our hearts and prayers
and our “cheeky “ Sandra will be missed but, "a woman's gotta do what a woman's
gotta do."
T.O. I guess Countess Chocula Von Vegetation Killer will have to turn down
your job. I am sure I must have planted at least 15 lily bulbs but
didn’t quite kill everyone. One actually survived me and bloomed--
Now I am only 99-44/100% pure Black Thumb. I guess I will just have to try harder.
May we always see the beauty that is all around us. Blessings on a new week.
