"She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the lightFrom the stars
She wore blue velvetBluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs"

- Bernie Wayne/Lee Morris

We dyed Easter eggs today! Can you tell?

"Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why dont we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in evryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive."

-Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

You are that person in the mirror, start loving that person!

Well, I'm loving her more and more all the time! ;)

“Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.”

Responsibilitiy in all our lives is important. Our scrapbooking is a responsibility to preserve our memories for future generations. What responsibility in your life is most important?

I do not only our home banking and everything that entails, but I'm also the church treasurer and so I'm responsible for balancing that checkbook as well, paying all the bills on time and keeping meticulous records of everything. Those are big responsibilities that I take seriously.

But I think my biggest responsibility is to my children. I'm responsible to be there for them, even though they're grown-ups. I want to keep the lines of communication open and our door always open for them. I'm responsible to be truthful with them and an encouragement to them. I'm responsible to treat them with respect and try to offer advice only when asked (not so easy, that one!). And, most of all, I'm responsible to pray for them daily and love them with all I am. After all, God has entrusted them to my care. while they're here on earth. I consider that a huge responsibility...
