Miscellany Monday

one. friend date

For all my childhood years, Sarabeth was my best friend.  We lived next door to each other & pretty much lived with each other, especially during the summer.  Over the years, we've grown apart like most do.  We're very different...different interests, beliefs, friends, lives...but she's one of those friends that you can just pick right back up where you left off.  So I spent Saturday afternoon with her...first time we've done that in years.  It made me happy.

two. welcome, Spring!
Saw these when I was walking around downtown Athens on Saturday.  Weeds wildflowers mean spring...which it officially is as of yesterday.  Yay!

three. Mother's Day

Mother's Day is 7 weeks from yesterday.  That seems like a long time.  But...think ahead.  Happy to do custom shop orders for the wonderful moms in your life.  Here's a sneak peek of one I'm working on that I think would be great for Mother's Day.

four. dear iTunes...
Sometimes I expect iTunes to read my mind.  I just typed in Here For You.  I'm painting & singing along to Passion...& the next thing I know, I begin to listen to the words I'm singing:

Your love, as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
If there's one thing for sure, I know it's true
Baby, I'd go anywhere for you 

Dear iTunes, just know that I wanted you to stay on Passion music.  Backstreet Boys was not what I had in mind for today.  [But maybe tomorrow...] 

I've seen God lately...

...in the excitement of my brother telling me about the mission trip he went on to New Orleans for his spring break.  First one he's been on without me, so it was weird to hear his stories & to have not been there to experience them.  Good weird though.

...in the smiles, laughter, empathy, & encouragement from refreshing people.
