Monday's Memories--Kermit the Frog.....

   Sarah has always loved Kermit. From the time she was three years old she had a crush on Kermit. We went to all his movies, watched all the TV specials. We even stood in line at Disney World for an hour and a half so she could see him. A poster of him still hangs on the inside of her closet door at home. I ask her if she wanted to take it with her and she said, just leave him there.
   When she went on the senior trip she purchased a newer one in New York City. It didn't surprise me at all when she unpacked her bag and out jumped Kermit. Still today Kermit has his own special shelf in her home.

Icy.......

   As I woke up this morning I wondered if we were covered with ice. I made my way to the kitchen window and sure enough everything was covered. The ice sparkled from the pole light. I text Sarah to make sure she made it to work safely. She said 65 was in good shape and she had no problem. Sandra's office is closed on weekends so I knew she was home safe. As for Thomas he was still asleep. I was suppose to work at the flower shop today but Heather called and since she lives in town she would go in. Later on I made my way out to check on my chickens and ducks or should I say I slid out to check on them. They were all cozy in their houses not a bit worried about the weather. It might be a good day to make some home made bread. If you all venture out today, be careful.....
 

Class......

   Occasionally I sub at school. Most of the time I fill in for Linda when she has to be out, if I have the day off from the shop. Linda tells the sub coordinator I know alot about flowers, plants and animals which is what she teaches. 4th period class was learning about eggs. I told Linda that I would bring in some of my fresh brown eggs for the kids to compare with white store bought eggs. I explained the process of incubating eggs for 21 days and raising chickens. It was a fun day, but just like the kids I was ready to head home when the last bell rang..... 

Don't forget to smile.....

        Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Monday's Memories......

   Starting today I'm going to start posting, "Monday's Memories." Every Monday I'll post a picture or two about something or someone who has made a memory to me and my family.
Today's memory takes me back to, Relay for Life. It was the first year that my flower shop, Mountain Memories sponsored a team. We raised a little over $1100.00. I recall it rained a lot that year and about midnight it came a thunderstorm. We had a camper so we could take turns resting as we were required to walk 24 hours straight. When the lightning started they told every one to take cover, little did they know we already had. It was a good time with lots of laughter and tears. This picture was taken about 10:30pm I think back about 1991. Sandra was still in high school. Linda, Sandra and me.......

The lovely lady.....

   Headed south today for a meeting to finalize our floral convention in a couple of weeks. It was good to see everybody. I wasn't able to attend the last two during the summer due to my treatments. We gathered at Wayne's house which is close to the Ohio River. We enjoyed a pitch in and lot of laughs. As I walked closer to the front door I was meet by this lovely lady...

Memories........

   I checked Shelley's blog this evening and it made me smile. The picture she showed is one of my favorites. It was taken on a joyous day. It was the wedding of Shelley's brother Scott and his bride Tammy.  I was running around doing last minute designing of the flowers and making sure everyone had their flowers. I had just come back from pinning Scott's flower on him and headed out to find Shelley.
As I look at that picture now it still warms my heart.  Shelley and I didn't say to many words as I pinned on her corsage. We didn't need to say much, we knew what each other was feeling.
   Shelley stated it was a hot summer day and I remember it well. I had been working all day, Sarah and Linda worked with me preparing for the wedding.
   What a special day and I'm so thankful that Scott and Tammy let me be a part of it.
