Dance in the Rain

We get a lot of rainy days in June. Normally I like the rain, but today it matches my mood and I wish, I had the time to go for a quiet walk in it.

I really like this quote and have been wanting to use it with these pictures of Raquel for awhile. I took these pictures, about a year ago, one afternoon after she got off the bus. She was enjoying the rain and doing a little dance. Raquel didn't see me taking pictures right away, but once she did, she had to give me a little pose. My beautiful girl, I hope you always remember to dance in the rain.

The Gift of Oneself

The weather has improved finally, today it was 0 C, which was a nice change. Everyone is starting to feel better, which is wonderful as well. I found an interesting site the other day about chemicals on fruits and vegetables. It lets you know which fruits & vegetables have the most pesticides. I know a lot of us mom & grandmas are concerned with what our little ones eat. If you like, you can check it out at Food News.

Doxie Designs has out a lovely new kit, it has so many elements in it that remind me of my Grandma Kay. Grandma Kay, was my Grandpa Mike's second wife, and she was a very wonderful, caring lady. She was the only Grandma I ever really knew, she passed away in July 2006. I will always miss her. She used to write me letters and send pictures. She loved God, gardening and liked pretty handkerchiefs. I will never forget her tea cup collection and the fruit trees in her yard. We must have been a handful, when mom & dad took us to visit every year. This picture was taken the last time Grandma Kay came to visit.

The quote reads: Love is above all the gift of oneself. -Jean Anouith
