Jersey Boys

Have you seen the movie Jersey Boys?  I thought it was awesome.  I loved most of the songs in the movie, which were originally sung by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, but this particular song has always been a favorite of mine.

(a scene from the movie)

 

"Why don't you come out with

your red dress on?"

 

Won't you dance with me

on my Birthday?

A Sweet Day With My Kids

I had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Nel treated me to a delicious breakfast of pancakes and coffee at my favorite café.  Jess made these paper flowers with her second grade students, and thought she'd make a few for me while creating them.  She also bought me a box of assorted chocolates.

My son gave me a bouquet of white flowers that were so lovely.

Isn't this tea cup pretty?  We spent the day in mid-town Sacramento, and I found it at one of the antique shops there.

I hope you had a

wonderful day as well.

Will You Read Me A Story?

I thought it was a good time to show you the picture my sister gave me recently since it's almost Mother's Day.  I mentioned to you before that she always seems to find the perfect gift.....well, she really does.  I loved this one especially because I happened to have the same picture, but a smaller size.  This one is big, and goes so well with my couches.  It is a painting of a mother and her daughters, and it means a lot to me, as I used to read to my children all the time when they were little.  The girls in the painting look just like Nel and Jess, and the mother resembles me as well.

 

 

Happy Mother's Day

to all my precious

blog mothers.

I told you how much

I love purple...

room with touches of

purple in it.

 

This perfume bottle

is a favorite of mine.

Jess bought me this

candle at Pier 1 Imports.

 

When I saw this dish,

I had to get it because it

was so unique.

I guess I'll always

love Purple.

Will Always Remember You

I am thinking of my

sister lately,

as her husband just

passed away.

 

 

In my heart I mourn

for my sister's

sadness.  To endure

such a great loss

leaves an emptiness that

will always be.

 

These are roses that

I've seen around town,

and they are for you,

dear sister.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your family is in my

thoughts every day.

Milagro

I went into a shop this week that sells eclectic stuff.  Now, don't ask me why, but whenever I walk into an eclectic shop, I am smiling the whole time.   I noticed a very unique item on the wall, and the sales lady told me it is called a Milagro.   The name Milagro is of Spanish origin and means miracle.  She said that it was a blessed gift of the heart and that you can put notes or prayers inside.  I've seen these Milagros before, but never one quite as pretty as this.

The heart opens, and I placed my note inside and closed it.

If you're wondering what the note says..........

Are you familiar with

the Milagro?

Walk With Me

There is a trail that me and husband walked on last weekend, and it's so green and lush and peaceful.  We saw many interesting sights along the way.

All of a sudden, we heard a knocking on one of the trees.  We looked over and to our surprise, we saw this.

I've never seen the woodpecker in action and it was so funny to watch him.

Some pretty purple flowers on the side of the trail.

The dove is a precious bird.

These trees are amazing.  Some of them are 300 years old.

This hare was trying to hide from me.

And at the end of the trail, I spotted these.  I think they were just for me.  : )

The human spirit needs places

when nature has not

been rearranged by the

hand of man.
