Sneak Peek...

Hello Dear Friends...
Where do the days go?

I'm back to blogland with a quick peek of goodies being offered tonight at
Early Work Mercantile
A few little Cottage Garden treasures...


It's been a full month with many demands...not much time for handwork.
A new furnace...soon a new roof...
caring for my parents as Dad recovers from surgery...
A month of ups and downs...introspection and gratitude...
the loss of a dear friend...brings a richer closeness to my old gal pals...most of us have been friends since grade school
...I truly LOVE these women!

This photo is from our "50th Birthday" weekend...vintage prom dresses
...and lots of laughter!
True blessings in my life ~ L

My dear, long~time friend Arlie is at peace...
after a battle with ALS...an evil, evil disease...
there are so many things I should or could say about this amazing woman...
but at the moment I just have no words...
perhaps another day ~L
