Tea Talk with Ruth
Ruth is such a busy hostess. She is attending school and has a lot of other things to keep her busy.
She is always so gracious to sit and hear what we all have to say and I like the chance to put down some thoughts I am having.
What I am having..........Comforting Tea by Aveda. Yes from the same business that sells Aveda make up and relaxation products.
A gift from my daughter.
In ..........Yes it is a Christmas mug. I just love the red birds and felt like enjoying the beauty and remembering the pleasure HH and I get from watching them in our yard.
Feeling...........Contented. Being home to do my housework etc at my own speed and time to plan and prepare a meal when I decide to cook. HH does most of the cooking.
That comes from sharing the chores while both of us were working and raising 6 wonderful children.
Thinking........I just realized the advise we get "Just live in the moment."
really applies in my case.
If I didn't live in the moment I would not live since I can't see tomorrow and can't remember yesterday.
Just take it one day at a time even if I have to stop and check to see, for sure, which day it is.
Aging, ain't for the faint of heart.
If you have one eye on yesterday, and one eye on tomorrow, you're going to be cockeyed today. Anonymous

This is the meme for you.
When my Mom passed away about 23 years ago most of her things came to me.
I had put this little tole painted recipe box away and forgotten about it.
I was recently looking for a container for my sugar substitute and found this.
It was so covered with dust that when I attempted to clean it, I rubbed much of the paint on the top of it off.
I was tempted to repaint the top but decided to leave it the way it is.
It was done in the early 70's and her name is visible on the lower right side.
Here near Mother's day I am so blessed to have things of hers with pleasant memories attached to them.
She did this in a Homemaker's group.
Love you Mom.
