Umm....have one of those Lobster Rolls for me!<br /><br />The photos of the resurrected Pansies made me smile...and did my heart good. I still feel like them....but, I also feel (thanks to you, Lo, Suki, Marianne and others)that I, too, have been "resuced" from an inglorious fate and am now cherished again.<br /><br />Your photos always reflect YOU.....warm, bright, filled with joy and laughter......I KNOW you have your "Pansy-like" days.... but you are moving beyond them....<br /><br />I LOVE the photo of your former doggie....what a sweetie (like Stells)..and I love the story you told about his death and the "visitor". Moments like these soften grief.<br /><br />I am rambling too.... and don't have a good excuse like Lo!<br /><br />Have a GLORIOUS 4th....bask in the sun, in your Mum's smile, in JB's company....and come home to Stella, your garden (hoping Emily controls herself today) and your wonderful home.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-31929960533331688682010-07-04T09:17:22.747-04:002010-07-04T09:17:22.747-04:00Hi kj!

I love college towns, with their infusion of energy and creativity...and energy (wait, I said that! haha!). I have informed the DH that wherever I park my behind for my decrepit years must, must, must be either a college town or an art one. Not that I'm picky.

The presented themselves at the door since May, it's the least I can do for them instead of tossing them.<br /><br />I'm glad you took me to "Faces" when I visited. Of course I had to buy some cards, one of which you have displayed in the kitchen ;)<br /><br />last night's dinner sounds yummy! I'm not a huge scallop fan but I like them well enough. These look perfect!<br /><br />I love seeing Pam's skelly on the windowsill! That's the only skelly I've ever liked. I don't understand the skull fascination but she makes it fun!<br /><br />Okay, I'm rambling. I'm paying for last night's over-indulgence. I hate it when my wine glass keeps getting refilled :P<br /><br />If you figure out the mystery of the disappearing lillipops, please share!<br /><br />talk to you later, alligator.<br /><br />oxoxoxox<br />Lo♥studio lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363808478293833466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-57299181545788869702010-07-04T09:12:55.435-04:002010-07-04T09:12:55.435-04:00snow, i've wondered when and hoped you would s...snow, i've wondered when and hoped you would show up here. i'm glad. i will be sure to let you know when i have occasion for a HUGE embarrassment! :)<br /><br />marianne, HAPPY BIRTHDAY<br /> HAPPY BIRTHDAY<br /> I LOVE YOU!<br /><br />dear suki, i know what you mean. only once have i chosen the 'wrong' person--by that i mean someone who did not choose or was not capable of accepting my gifts and frailities, but even then, i still can't say it was a mistake. not yet, anyway. <br /><br />but i cannot agree with you about your future. you are not destined to choose unworthy or unavailable people to be in your life, certainly not with the insight and honesty you have about it all. i will think about your comment and write more after this morning's mulch. but suki, i believe in you with good reason. surely there is a way for you to share that belief with me!!! ♥kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-45540093148938747012010-07-04T08:17:10.503-04:002010-07-04T08:17:10.503-04:00I read y'days post and could have sworn i left...I read y'days post and could have sworn i left a comment! but i see i didnt. What leapt out to Annie also leapt out to me: that what we think is love maybe isnt. Yet, who can really define love or qualify or quantify the emotions we feel? I know that almost all of the men I have been attracted to in my life and thought i was in love with, and i may have been on some level, were alcoholics or recovered alcoholics or certifiably mentally ill or both wrapped up in one. I discovered years later that my alcoholic ex-husband was, after the divorce diagnosed w/bipolar disorder. Nothing wrong with these things of course, but i think it must say something about my pysche that i engaged in romances with severely dysfunctional though engaging men.<br /><br />Was I attracted due to the history of alcoholism in my grandfather's life? Some unworked out inner angst within me? Rather than true love.? So interesting (after the fact) to ponder.<br /><br />I consider that i will never have another romantic relationship as I can pretty much guarantee that anyone i am attracted to will be majorily messed up which only reflects my own messed upedness. <br /><br />I have done a lot of "work" on myself, healing work of all sorts and yet.....there is an area that remains f...ed up.<br /><br />Well, I do go on but today's post so lovely. thanks for showing snippets of your world.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-34332673476954550512010-07-04T06:35:02.927-04:002010-07-04T06:35:02.927-04:00What a lovely colorful post.
