dragon tongue...

I'm learning new things all of the time. Some I learn in my head & some I learn in my heart. Are the things I learn in my heart stored in my head or does my heart have a mind of its own? Right now I'm learning that even strong people are hurt by pinpricks & you have to be careful about that. The thing is, I already knew that, but I didn't remind myself. Words are wicked powerful. Beware of the dragon tongue.

hold on to that thought...

I'm looking out my window & it's a beautiful day! I have so much to be thankful for & I'm happy about that.

heart for blog...

I love my blog... just sayin'...

happy campers...

Tomorrow we go to pick up Snow & Daniel from camp! =) I can't wait! I think we'll be the first one's there.

purrfect...

Hannah & Emmeli just fell asleep together on the living room floor, in the middle of a thunderstorm, cuddled up with their pillows & blankets, their arms around each other & their stuffed animals squished up between & underneath them. I looked for a picture of two kittens, which is exactly what they remind me of and look what I found... perfect.

i like ice cream...

Emmeli just spent some of her hard-earned art fair money on a half gallon of chocolate ice cream. When we got home, as soon as she could, she sat down with a spoon and started eating it right out of the container. =)

i want my $2...

This morning as we were going thru the loot from last nights art fair, Daniel told me something very funny. Apparently a lady had tried to buy something from him with a $2 bill. Daniel told me this as if to say, "Can you believe that someone tried to hand me some fake money." Daniel basically laughed at her, "You can't fool me with that bogus bill." (paraphrased) So the lady actually went & got change & returned to buy the bookmark. =) When I explained the facts to Daniel, he was mortified & so disappointed that he didn't keep it! Poor kid. He's going to kill me when he reads this!

piece of quiet...

Sometimes quiet is as beautiful as any music. When you're in that place where you are truly absorbed in the stillness, any little noise is like thunder. I wonder how many times I can say "shhhh!" You know that state between sleeping & waking where you don't want anything to break in? Sometimes you can tiptoe in even though you're fully awake. It's a lovely place that I'm greedy for. The sound of the fan is a beautiful tune & the crickets in the basement are singing.
