HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

THANK YOU.

I have always loved this photo from the first time that I saw it...

his face shows the love of country and our service men and women.

A love that I share.

To those we have lost so that we can 

remain free...

THANK YOU.

To their families...

THANK YOU.

For the sacrifice so freely given.

THANK YOU.

HAPPY  MEMORIAL  DAY

the gift...

Mayday is wonderful,

truly wonderful.

You know why?

It gave me the opportunity to let Max and his buddy Elijah

experience the pure joy of surprising sweet friends.

they were my 'runners',

ringing the doorbells, or knocking on doors

leaving the little pot on a table

or hanging from the doorknob

and then running back to the car

with the biggest smiles ever!

That was really the gift.

They felt so wonderful as they

surprised our friends,

and I felt pure joy from

watching them have fun.

I made the mayday baskets

a little different from the ones that

I showed in the last post.

I had some peat pots,

painted them white and 

I added something special

for each person.

A crepe paper ruffle, a special bird for our bird lover,

an old MSU creamery lid for our MSU fan,

a little color for our colorful friend...

you get the picture,

each  one different,

just like my friends.

I wish I could have made one

for all those special to me.

Do you think you all

could move into the neighborhood

before next May 1?

It was a gift week for me too..

I won Lynn's giveaway and now I have

the sweetest work of art on my dining room mantle!

(it's absolutely perfect, isn't it?)

Thank you Lynn!

Thanks for stopping by!
