sentimental journey...

My daughter is working in the Arkansas right now...and she sent me this image below, which puts into perspective what Memorial Day weekend is really all about.  What would we do without people who wanted to fight for freedom...

I was feeling a bit sentimental as NASA talked about the final flight of the space shuttle. Another era has passed. It brought back memories of my visit to NASA in 2009. I posted about it on the my blog here: July 31st, 2009. The whole experience made such an impact on my thinking. The people at NASA were so generous with their information and their time.  
It helped me put into perceptive, how very small we are in this vast universe and how much really happens outside our little world that we think revolves around us.

This morning we opened that mysterious package in our refrigerator that my sister had dropped off yesterday...

  It was filled with a bottle of capers, a package of mini toasts, 2 hard boiled eggs, a shallot, a bit of sour cream, a beautiful crystal caviar bowl that you fill with ice to keep it chilled, a bone spoon, a jar of caviar and lots of love. Yum...what a decadent breakfast. The perfect way to start our anniversary...

I did want to mention the ebay auction that will be ending in day and a half. All proceeds benefit Neurofibromatosis and they are raising money for the cause by auctioning off celebrity doodles. Here are my two pieces...

a mother's job...

A mother's job is not to create a bed of roses,
but to help them learn how to pick their way through the thorns.
