Some People

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same."

That poem hangs on my bedroom wall.
I don't know who authored it either.
But
If you are reading this, you are "Some People."

And I thank you for whispering your wisdom to me and teaching me.
And I thank you for leaving your footprints on my heart and just know that I will never, ever be the same because of it.

Love,

My World

My world is better in color.

No lack of it in this room, that's for sure.

It's all about the M.

By the time I am done with this bulletin board, it will say, "It's All About The M" on it. However, due to circumstance, ALL my alphabets are in Minnesota!! {Along with my cardstock, trimmer, stamp pads, etc.} Where's the priorities, I tell ya!
This shower caddy works great for my paint holder! It also houses my newly found treasure the Xacto set. Tiffany found that in the old house and said, "Don't say I never gave you nothing."

Thanks Tiffany! I'm sure it will come in handy as I brush up on my xacto skills.

My cool collection of other treasures...Jars that we found here!! Awesome stuff...one woman's trash is another woman's treasure!!
All these jars (except the Prima ones) were also found here. I put my flower collection in them. It will remind me to take time to smell the flowers most days...and I need to scrap more too!!

On another note, I was hanging clothes out yesterday and had some random thoughts. So my question is to you...How do your shorts hang? Do we all hang our clothes the same way?

My shorts hang by the waist...while my pants hang by the legs. Hehe.

Have a wonderamous day, ya'll. Take time to smell the flowers...it's a brand new day everyday.

Love,

TT

Things

Laundry on the line...for Torm! I love the smell of freshly hung sheets and towels..minus the Downy 'cause that's just too spendy right now!! Love me some wooden clothespins...and I ordered my new clothesline pole too yesterday!! Now, all I need is the retractable clothesline. Can't wait to put that in!! Love me some sledgehammer action too!!

{Happy Monday Torm!!}

Well as I type this, my list is getting shorter. I only have the dining room and kitchen left to do. {Thanks Chipster for the motivation yesterday!}

My room (minus the electric blanket cord) and what it smells like!! YUMMMMM!!!!

My bathroom...A Starry Night always!! {It smells like the bedroom, imagine that!}

Two little girls waiting on the Prince in his white horse to pick them up at the end of the driveway and bring them up to the house. They sure were cute standing out there!! But alas, he'll have to show up another day when he's got more time to play (and bring the boy too!!).

And last, but certainly not least, Happy Birthday Dad. My dad would have been 70 today had he been here. We miss you dad!!

Aunt Donna

We lost a beautiful soul last night. And the Angels sang as they welcomed Aunt Donna into Heaven.

Aunt Donna passed away around 7pm central time Saturday, January 26, 2008. She is survived by her husband Ron, their three daughters, a son in law, three grandsons and brother, sisters, and nieces and nephews. She will be missed immensly.

Aunt Donna was one of the first people to welcome me whole heartedly into Tom's family. She never judged and she never held a grudge. I loved to hear her stories about her travels or past family get togethers. She held this family together after Jeanie died. Everyone always went to her for family information. She was our rock.

Yes I will miss Aunt Donna, as will the rest of the family. She was the sweetest, kindest, most caring person you'd ever want to meet.

Rest In Peace, Aunt Donna. We love you very much!
