Hi Tink!!! Here I am, once again, trying to catch up!
You are quite an AMAZING woman you know! Just look at ALL of the WONDERFUL goodies you present EACH and EVERY day here on your blog!!!
I shall have to pop over each day and check out some of the links that you have posted on Space. We have a nice telescope on our deck and we enjoy, from time-to-time, viewing the constellations, the moon and the occasional meteor showers. Tis a WONDERFUL thing to be in the country with NO street lights and to find the night sky literally CLUTTERED with stars. I don't think that I had ever seen a "falling star" before moving here almost 13 years ago!
LOVE your share about "boy cheese"!!! Kids say the darndest things, don't they? LOL! TOO cute!
I am with you on being MOST thankful for my eyesight. I mean, think of it Tink, I wouldn't be able to sit here and enjoy reading your blog without my sight now would I???
I happen to be extremely visual with auditory running a VERY close second. I would find it VERY difficult as well to be without either, although if I had to choose between the two, I would vote to keep my eyesight and hone up on my sign language!
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to find your comments on my blog, especially when my day has been hectic and I have not time to go out visiting! For this, I thank YOU from the DEPTHS OF MY BEING!!! LOL! It is SO funny that you asked about the origin of "from the bottom of my heart" as I've just recently started using the phrase I posted above because I thought the latter to be a bit strange when really thinking about it!
I'm off to do a search! I remember reading about the origin of "mind your p's and q's" several years ago! Too funny is that one!
Have a SPECTACULAR Sunday darlin' and I need not tell you to SCRAP HAPPY - your display of LOVELY layouts each day states it all TOO well!
Oh ... I am SO happy or you and Pan! He is to be commended for his steadfast LOVE and DEDICATION to you and your children. That just blesses my heart to hear!
You know, I believe there REALLY is something to be said for LOVE being better the second time around!
Hugs,
Linda
I had to tell you that I was thinking about you the other night. My hubby and I was standing on the deck of our cruise ship at night in our formalwear and looking at the stars which were totally awesome! My poor hubby expected me to say something really romantic when I exclaimed, " Wow, Tink would really love this!" He looked at me like I was crazy and then had to explain! LOL
