Waiting...

 

Sometimes waiting is the best course of action. During a difficult period in my life I clung to these words:

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,

and he shall strengthen thine heart:

wait, I say, on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14

Corkey and I visited Mother yesterday and tried our best to bring a few smiles to her face. We are realizing more and more that she prefers sleep to us. She is soooo tired. But as long as she recognizes us, talks a little to us, and presses our hands, we know it's been a wonderful visit. On her best days I get a strong hug, and when I say," I love you, Mom" she replies "I love you, too." Precious words.

 

   

 

I have been spending some of my time rearranging items here in the house. I brought the desk organizer from the art room to the guest bedroom. 

 

 

 

I like its side handles, the slot for writing pen, and the dividers. 

 

 

 

 

 

That flower frog is waiting for just the right postcard or note. 

 

Happy Saturday, dear friends, wherever you are.

When my dad had cancer and only weeks to live I gave him this dog sculpture to sit on his bedside table. Sometimes I couldn't speak words to express my feelings, but this little dog conveyed how baffled and worried I was...also my love and concern.

This cup and saucer is from my mother's collection. For now it's displayed on a wooden tray in the guest bedroom. She and I share a fondness for the color green.

While at the store booth today I learned that four more items had sold. Yippee!!

It is exciting to see which objects are chosen by shoppers.

Sometimes it's hard to part with stuff I've had for a long time, but honestly I've accumulated way too much over the years. I like to think of the new owners being happy with their finds.

Yep, you know for sure it's spring when buttercups are blooming here, there, and everywhere. Love 'em!

Hope your day has been pleasant and productive.

I'm just happy that WONDERFUL spring is here.
