the light...............

ever think about what light does for us.............................guides our way..............when you open a door, and the light floods in to direct our steps......................helps us to see words, that give us comfort & help with decisions..............................may you have "the light" today....to help with all things..................................

still smiling...........................

it has been one of those impromtu sort of days....................what started out as sort of a business, type adventure for friends..............just took a fly by the seat of your pants kind of day...............and we ran with it!...............visited a few antique shops.....had a wonderful lunch at "Spring Mill Park Inn"......headed back to one gal's home (brainstormed a bit) about rearranging furniture...................i am filled with such joy...................you know how there are certain people that are easy to be around......make you laugh (till you want to pee your pants!) ........make you feel like you matter.........and.......you just smile....all the way home!
...............................................thanks girls.......................................i am blessed !

a little chuckle........

during open house, i have found that just about anything can happen........................one thing that repeatedly happens is people peeking in the shower.......shower curtain always pulled back, just a little for a peek of  (i don't know of what!) i don't get that one........................but this time......i had a little chuckle ......... in our half bath is the old "pay toilet" sign.......look closely.....there are two nickels in the candle holder.......................just left me with a chuckle & i am enjoying them there for awhile.....................do you remember pay toilets?..............i do.....i think that makes me old!

a simple thing.........

one of my earliest memories of my Daddy, was the smell of limestone............................stone was his passion.............................i know i have shown this picture of him before, but not only the thoughts of father's day.....but limestone month here in Indiana have been overwhelming in my heart.............
 i still can hear the hum of the air compressor ........the air chissel in his hands...............the sight of tracking limestone dust accross the floor (!).............always in suspense as the semi delivered shipments, wondering if they would make it off the highway without a disaster...................the joy on his face with a new invention of his or the discovery of a new technique..................pure joy when someone would ask about his craft (i think it was an art...a gift!)
i still have many of his limestone pieces, couldn't part with one..........(that is another post!).........i have moved a few of them around this week into the landscaping.......................this one piece is so simple.....just a high way sign......................but so precious..........i couldn't part with it either.........so for years now it has been the step into our screened porch, off of our bedroom...................i love how the moss has grown over top.................but everytime i step onto it....i think of my Daddy and his passion.......................just a simple thing...........................................i am blessed !

ahhhhhhhhhh..................................

i do feel like things might be getting back to normal around here...................what is normal anyway?.......................
after we returned from Mao Clinic i had to make a quick decision whether or not to do open house with "country neighbors"...................brochures were printed & in circulation.....do i go ahead....or drop out...........................i knew i couldn't do EVERYTHING i needed to be ready................so.........i just opted to ready the yard, and ready the house that had been so overly neglected since Christmas.......................the shop was cleaned, with no new items for the tour except the ivy that i always order...............................................but......................you know what?..................i was okay with it all...............a peace & acceptance of the way it had to be (my new philosophy - "it is what it is").........................all was well................enjoyed my well groomed yard.............my clean and orderly house........................and welcomed my guests & friends & Megan was well enough to help & greet so many that have been praying for her.....................................now i can move on to normal................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................
...............................................i am blessed!
