thursday thought...

.

rum raisin

i've been

waiting for this

moment...

.

 

...for more than a month

 i just walked into my

sewing studio

 and felt a slight draft

so i reached for it

the box marked

rum raisin

and very slowly

dipped

my chilly size ten toes

into the soft

sheepskin lining

of my new classic short

 uggs

they likely will never see

 snow or ice

nor will i ever likely see their

australian home

 we are bound to be

 best friends though

i discovered last year

they make the most

amazing house slippers

and of course

as soon as i saw this new

color

i knew it was meant to be

ahhh

my feet thank me

now i wonder what else

i can find in the house

bearing the words

rum or raisin

thursday thought...

.

dreams do come true...

we just wrapped

up our sweet

treat extravaganza...

.

...at jellen's house of fabric

to celebrate our

second anniversary

i still pinch myself

almost daily

we are having so much fun

and

at the same time

making a difference

we had

cameras in the store again

this time for a book

being written to illustrate

all the things that

 persons with down syndrome

can accomplish

such as...

...sewing on a machine

it's simply amazing to me

to look at this picture

and visually see

just where we have come

all because i was born

with a love of fabric

so very grateful

for that

counting each one...

today is the day

my hubby and i

said i do...

.

...twenty six years ago

at first i was not

going to mention it

felt like it was almost

a non celebratory year

after the much

awaited twenty five

last year

then late this evening

a customer came in

we talked alot

about her husband

and his untimely death

following a diagnosis of cancer

 just a few short months ago

they had celebrated

fourteen years

she so wishes she had more

she misses him so

and i got to thinking

each year does need to be

recognized

celebrated

even if it's only a special kiss

to say i love you more than before

our time here is borrowed

each day is a gift

happy 26th anniversary john
