I took these photos yesterday. It was a rainy dreary day and I asked Elizabeth if she would blow some bubbles for me from this huge bubble container she had gotten as a gag gift from her boss. She said sure. So we went out in the driveway and she blew bubbles and I am snapped photos. It was fun.. The beauty of the bubbles amazes me. I love to see the different colors that each one has. Elizabeth had a good time blowing them. It reminded us of all the times I spent on the porch with the kids when they were little blowing bubbles with them.

It isn't the big things that kids or people remember. We remember moments not days.

It the silly fun times we take out of our dreary days that remain.
I have a couple of quotes I want to share with you.


The ordinary acts we practice everyday at home are of more importance to the soul than their Simplicity might suggest. Thomas Moore
Irish Poet {1779-1852}

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Teresa


A gentle word, Like Summer rain, may soothe some heart and banish pain. What joy or sadness often springs from just the simple little things. Willa Hoey

I carry this card in my pocket everywhere.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Where there is hatred...let me sow love

Where there is injury...pardon

Where there is doubt...faith

Where there is despair...hope

Where there is darkness...light

Where there is sadness...joy

Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled....as to console,

to be understood....as to understand

to be loved...as to love,

for

it is in giving....that we receive

it is in pardoning, that we are pardoned

it is in dying....that we are born to eternal life.

I say a little prayer for all of you tonight that no matter what you are going through that God will help you.

Sending love to all....
