Good Fortune...

May not always be of monetary value and usually does come to each of us. Whether we recognize it as such is up to our interpretation.

The Nelson Atkins Museum is only a few minutes away and thanks to a dear friend, I have had the good fortune to attend opening exhibits...

No, I was not "deeded" a cup but enthusiastically shared the good fortune of a deserving friend.


A little music by Casey James...a former American Idol contestant

Monet's "Water Lilies"...one of only two of Monet's triptychs in the United States. No words could convey the pleasure of this experience...absolutely, breath taking.


Something as simple as a note left by the grandgirl who not only delights in gardening but leaving notes around for those she loves...that's good fortune.What do you consider good fortune?

Going to the Monet Saturday. Looking forward to it. Need to get busy on my garden. Lazy today; maybe tomorrow. How's your new plant (JPPRPP)?

Good friends are but one of my good fortunes. Not a lot (of friends). But just the right amount :)

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Many...

Of you have been posting photos of your Christmas decorations, some even rethinking this year's decorating. Few changes take place here, which may seem boring, but I think of it as tradition.  Every year when I begin to decorate fond memories come to mind as I place each ornament, Santa and treasure in it's usual place. Yet simple as it may be, I did rearrange the deer tray and... The Santas came down from the mantle... Allowing one of my favorite samplers to shine without the clutter. What changes did you make this year?
