"Sixteen sprigs a penny..."

It's that time of year again... lavender festivities abound.

I was somewhat disappointed that my mommalou wouldn't be here for it this time (since she came a few weeks ago).  Turns out, if you get sick and you're in your 40's, The Lovely Barbara still comes a callin'... actually, that's nothing new to me as every time I have a major flare up, she's a ready and rearin' to jump on a plane.  I usually don't let her though, but this time with every one gone... especially with my Maddy girl for the first time in years (yes I'm a cryin'), I obliged and she'll be here soon.

We'll hopefully be able to drag ourselves out of bed Saturday morning.

"Here’s your sweet lavender
sixteen sprigs a penny
that you’ll find my ladies
will smell as sweet as any"

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
