MONDAY MEMORY!

Unable to find one thing can lead to another----a sweet memory!

It might be seen as just a bookmark! For me, it's so much more.

Wildflowers on a Georgia O'Keefe bookmark with a "kind" quote! 

Marie Jordan!

So her! A giver of gifts!

The visits I had at her home on Murfreesboro Rd. in Franklin, TN once included a "sit-down" in her garden. Of course, she was a wildflower expert!

Avid reader would be the term that described her best to me. When I would leave her home I would leave with a book as well as a list of book recs.

She introduced me to The Mitford series and we shared a love of the importance of a public library. She even received a proclamation for her years of service to the Williamson County Public library. (2009) 

 

Marie, a spry widow, (think biking to the public square not far from her home) who blessed my heart immensely!

Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. (Proverbs 27:9)

CHOOSE JOY

The last few weeks of Christmas hoopla, a group email had several of us bantering back and forth about the undue stress of the holiday. But God......through the wisdom of a friend reminded us of "joy."

So.....in many different ways, even after a tirade over inefficiencies of store clerks, and empty shelves at Kroger, our mantra became, "Today, I choose joy." 

Joy is a choice. 

Each and every day we choose how we respond/react to life in all of its aspects.

In 2017, may I choose joy!

On the Road Again

6/6/13 Hooray Hooray, it's finally the day.! T-Cups Trek #13 begins today. It's my annual girls' trip with five FUN friends---can it still be called a "girls" trip when all are in their 60s and at least 3 are Medicare card holders!!!

Each year it is like a "great escape" for us---no responsibilities, errands, babysitting or  work. This year it's a "mystery trip" and I'm the only one who knows where we are going---scary thought.

Blues Highway Trip started with lunch at The Gallery in Merigold, MS (chocolate cobbler for dessert) & shopping at  McCarty's pottery.

Hot tubs at the Shack-up Inn come with an "outward motor" & guess who has to crank it??? 

A cold cokey cola at the Crossroads of the Blues---Highway 61 S and 49 E---think Delta Blues singer Robert  Johnson. Do you know his story? We do!
