How absolutely CUTE!!!
Thanks, Tiapam.
That is one of my favorites. It is a rerun but I enjoy it and the poem everytime I see them.
I’m working on my genealogy today. Next Christmas, all nieces and nephews are getting Genealogy Books. Hope they enjoy them. :)
Hope you are having a beautiful day.
Happy Thursday, Kitty.
Thank you for that sweet Goodnight Graphic.
Marissa loves that video of her and Sissy playing Monopoly. She was so proud that I posted her drawing on Amy’s Place.
She is the extrovert of the family. LOL
She is taking some type of theatre class. We have been invited to a play this Friday. I think I will go early enough to get up front so I can take pictures.
Hope you are doing okay and having a beautiful Thursday.
Hi Tiapam! Yes, I’m tired of snow. When someone asks me what the weather will be tomorrow, I just say snow and hope one of these days I’ll be wrong. Thank goodness, the roads cleared up so I could go out. I have heard....that we will get more Sunday, Monday. I don’t know but it wouldn’t surprise me. Hope you’re doing well, tiapam!!
Thank you, Tiapam.
That looks sooo refreshing. I would like an ice cold mug of Diet A & W. Might as well have a hamburger on the side. LOL
THE LEGEND OF THE DANDELION
Adapted from an old legend.
THE Angel of the flowers came down to earth once—long, long ago—and she wandered here and there, in field, and forest, and garden, to find the flower she loved the most. As she hurried on her search, she came upon a gay tulip, all orange and red, standing stiff and proud in a garden, and the Angel said to the tulip: “Where should you like most of all to live?”
“I should like to live on a castle lawn in the velvety grass,” said the tulip, “where my colors would show against the gray castle walls. I should like to have the princess touch me, and tell me how beautiful I am.”
But the Angel turned away with sad eyes from the proud tulip, and spoke to the rose.
“Where should you like most to stay?” she asked the rose.
“I should like to climb the castle walls,” said the rose, “for I am fragile, and delicate, and not able to climb of myself. I need help and shelter.”
The Angel of the flowers turned sadly away from the rose, and hurried on until she came to the violet growing in the forest, and she said to the violet: “Where should you like most of all to live?”
“Here, in the woods, where I am hidden from every one,” said the violet. “The brook cools my feet, and the trees keep the warm sun from spoiling my beautiful color.” But the Angel turned away from the violet and went on until she came to the sturdy, yellow dandelion growing in the meadow grass.
“And where should you like most of all to live?” asked the Angel of the dandelion.
“Oh,” cried the dandelion, “I want to live wherever the happy children may find me when they run by to school, or romp and play in the fields. I want to live by the roadside, and in the meadows, and push up between the stones in the city yards, and make every one glad because of my bright colors.”
“You are the flower I love the most,” said the Angel of the flowers, as she laid her hand upon the dandelion's curly, yellow head. “You shall blossom everywhere from spring till fall, and be the children's flower.”
That is why the dandelion comes so early and pushes her head up everywhere—by hedge, and field, and hut, and wall; and has such a long, sweet life.
Tia, could you please do me a favor, and put a big dollop of vanilla ice cream in one of those, and pass it my way? Thanking you in advance.
So very, very sweet, Amy and Billie!
Oh, my GOODNESS! What a BEAUTIFUL young lady that is, waving the Flag! Hmmmmmm..............she looks so familiar........
LOL
Thanks, Yorkie. Lori made that graphic in 2005. The picture was taken at one of our Friday Night Support the Troops Rallies.
Thank you, Yorkie.
As I was going thru prior Openings for something to open the doors with, I found that and really enjoyed seeing the graphic and the poem again.
Hope you are having a Delightful Day.
I am waving to all my friends at Amy's Place that I haven't talked to in FOREVER. Hope everyone is doing well. Hugs all around!
That is a beautiful bluejay, Jaycee.
BUT ...... I’m ready for spring. It is 66 today. It may get close to 70. I cannot believe that we are still having dense fog.
Yayyyyy ... going there now.
BTW .. thank you for your help yesterday. I really appreciate it.
Would you believe that I’m working on genealogy? I didn’t think I would ever get back to it. :)
Hmmm ..... nothing there yet.
I’ll check again in about 10 minutes.
Oh, man....I sent it about four hours ago. I will send it again.
