He is obviously very artistic or, living with you, the arty things have rubbed off on him !!.... and there is my buddy, Scout. I love him for picking my name out when you had your giveaway. ...and there is part of my win on your sidebar. The poetry book, Learning to Tell Time. I have shown many of my friends and they all find it quite beautiful.

I used my grandma's recipe, and it reminds me of when I was little. Loved your poetry, thanks for sharing, I know it takes courage sometimes. And thank you for the inspirational comment about quitting your job and finding my passion. I also applied to Scripps Networks last night. I know it takes patience and preseverence to land a dream sometimes. Btw, I love Savannah Bee Company too. I received their lotion for a bridemaid gift and need to reorder more online--it was that good. Now I will have to order some honey as well... thanks for the suggestion. :)Simply Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286704276318895868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-79771939679194121112010-01-27T15:58:18.507-05:002010-01-27T15:58:18.507-05:00sweet gigi- what a thoughtful post. your email rea...sweet gigi- what a thoughtful post. your email really touched me, and i have a very strong hunch that not only did you make the right decision, but you have opened some invisible doors that will reveal great opportunities for you in the very near future. Perhaps the last stanza of my favorite daffodil poem articulates all this the best:<br /><br /> <br />For oft, when on my couch I lie<br />In vacant or in pensive mood,<br />They flash upon that inward eye<br />Which is the bliss of solitude;<br />And then my heart with pleasure fills,<br />And dances with the daffodils.bigBANG studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566014806881346604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-86240366632616258932010-01-27T15:01:39.542-05:002010-01-27T15:01:39.542-05:00Gigi - I can't add anything to these other rav...Gigi - I can't add anything to these other ravishing comments except - MORE stories like that fabulous elderly lady.
