Project ~~ Pink Scarf


Last week, on another blog “The Purple Sweater” I mentioned that I was working on a scarf for Vicki Boster’s Pink Scarf Project.  I posted a link to 2 Bags Full — Vicki’s blog that talks about the Project and her reasons for launching the year-long accumulation of pink scarves that will be given to women who are survivors of breast cancer and women who are still bravely fighting their battle.

I’ve promised to feature some of Vicki’s own incredible artistry, but now seems the right time to share with you this loving project and some of the scarves that have been gathered already.  Vicki’s photos show them at their best.  Her photography is always artistically displayed and perfectly rendered–just one of the reasons I admire her so much!

I hope that these images of the scarves, made with loving care for a meaningful cause, will find meaning with you as well.

Memorial Day 2013


Wordless on this day of Remembrance.  Last night I put together this collage. . . it expresses my feelings about Memorial Day

THE DEATH OF THE IRON LADY


Today I’m mourning the loss of a great lady.  Margaret Thatcher was a leader ahead of her times.  She’s revered by women across the world.  Her not-only-can-do-but-shall-do attitude was one of the things that made her a great leader.  She was, and remains, one of my favorite things. I hope you’ll enjoy this poem from A Word A Day! because it eloquently expresses what many of us are thinking today…about a lady of iron.

THE DEATH OF THE IRON LADY.

Sweet Factor


I’ve hit my sweet factor limit!  I have to stop using “Dear Reader.” Faithful Followers?  Fellow Bloggers?  Devoted Diarists???  This is going to be harder than I expected.  Never fear, I’ll come up with something…or resort to acronyms!

Dum Dum Da Dum ~~Update #1


I’m busy doing “research” for my daughter’s virtual wedding. . . .finding so many wonderful things I want to share with you, Dear Reader.   At the moment, I’m temporarily overwhelmed because I’d like to have them all, but even a virtual wedding has to have limits.  (drat!)

Oh dear, a thought just passed through my mind — maybe I’ll have to plan more than one! :) )

See you soon!

Dum Dum da Dum


I’m so excited!  My Lovely Daughter (MLD) announced her engagement last Saturday.  I know she doesn’t want to make a big thing about it…but I, in my role as Mother of the Bride (MoB), am probably three times more excited about planning her wedding than anyone else, including my daughter and her groom.  They want a wedding without a lot of fanfare, so it’ll probably be fairly small.  However, I (on the other hand) am free to plan a virtual wedding that could eclipse the British (sadly) marriage of Diana and Charles.  I promise not to go totally wild……maybe just moderately wild.

As I travel through the ether to find only the most perfect things for her virtual wedding, even (perhaps) some that will actually be included in her planning, I’ll share it all with you, Dear Reader,  a few of…My Favorite Things.

PS ~~ I’ve included acronyms for my daughter and me, but I will probably continue spell them out because I like the way they look as I type them…  ;o)

Yuuuuummmmm!
