Love the pictures. We've made the chocolate mice at our house. What with the cherry cordial in the body and the kiss at the nose, they are plenty rich.

Looks like a beautiful day and a great good time.

It's not a disembodied eye, it's the profile of a fish -- at least that's what I saw.

I've wanted to see his farewell tour, also. Saw him interviewed on TV a few months ago. Like you, watched him on TV, and can still remember all the words.

You are correct, of course. I was referring to the idea that I don't attend church services on Mother's Day, which is where we would always wear them.

You should wear a white rose on Mother's Day since your mom has passed. Perhaps you meant you would not be able to wear a red one on Mother's Day any more, but DO remember your mom with a white one! I remember that custom to my own childhood and I remember my daddy telling me why he had a white rose in his lapel.

It is always in the details... always. This was a lovely event and you knew the second you saw this path that you were in for a treat.

It's good to know I'm not the only one. I can volunteer in other ways, but not that one.

2012-05-05T10:33:47.040-05:00

I'm the same way - I am continually shocked at the kindness of volunteers and how much they help others. They amaze me with their efforts and we should be thankful for them. I don't have that within me either but I guess that's why I usually end up at these types of tragedies as a reporter - we keep others informed and in the end, this is our contribution.

And the kitten is adorable :-)

Sounds fascinating, but those of us who are deathly claustrophobic will NOT be participating. Glad you had a good time.

Thanks, FT and Kim... I do love all these oldies but goodies!

I love the photos!

Oh Fleur... what a lovely sentiment... no wonder you're a writer! Thanks for that - you've given me something wonderful to ponder today!

2012-04-19T10:40:57.348-05:00

Kim... I think it's something about needing to see bright, beautiful, pretty new things in the ground. Maybe I'm still surprised that I can grow anything - that it will get bigger. It seems growing up on a farm would have prepared me for this eventuality, but apparently I'm a slow learner!

And what a beautiful metaphor for life :-)

Yes, there seems to be no one who actually knows what is and is not appropriate for freelancers. So, I err on the side of not taking any deductions I think are questionable. I'm probably missing things, but it's all I know to do. I do them online with taxact, although I would hire a CPA if I knew one who dealt with creative work as opposed to making widgets. It's all very confusing - and I'd love a one sheet form again!.. But, they're done... and I'm glad! :)
