ABANDONED DREAMS – FRIDAY’S PHLOG FOR SEPTEMBER 12, 2014

 

“I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on.

And I’m traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too.

Just hope when you get to that great racetrack in the sky,

that the balance will tip slightly into those things that

you’d be proud of.”

Paul Newman

MOTHER’S DAY – FRIDAY’S PHLOG FOR MAY 9, 2014

My boys have been so fortunate with the influence of their grandmothers in their lives.  One of my favourite pictures of my mother-in-law with the boys and the bottom picture is my favourite of my mom with Matt.  We are blessed to still enjoy my mother-in-law every day.  My mother has been gone since 2010 – hard to believe how fast time goes..Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there.

 

THE POWER OF YELLOW – FRIDAY’S PHLOG FOR JULY 26TH, 2013

Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,
Prodigal of blue,

Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover’s words.

Emily Dickinson
