Wow, makes me wonder how I came up with so many things to write about. I have no trouble talking a cat down out of a tree but ideas to post has been a small challenge.

Walk with us for awhile and join in each week as Susanne has introduced us to focus on reflecting five favourite things, be them large or small, blessings obvious and gratefulness we dug into our hearts to share with others.
Post # 9
1. Laughter that gives a good belly roll.
We have guests in from all over the world that we meet and greet. One couple stands out among the rest when I walked into the Great Room to serve up breakfast and there he was standing posing for the eight others in our Anne of Green Gables hat. 
2. Gifted sense of humor.
Wednesday morning I had blood work in at the doctors office. My daughter Victoria had an early nursing shift so I had little Anna with me. We were in the examination room Anna reached into my purse and took out her cup. I noticed a freshly made bed, soft pillow and a towel roll on top of the bed. So I laid her up onto the pillow and put the roll under her knees and my sunglasses on her to take the bright light out. The nurse comes in to take my blood as I am explaining to Anna about us laying out on the beach, the cool breeze is blowing across the dunes while the mist of the ocean raises and falls on us keeping us cool. The nurse too a look at me laid out on the examining bed with Anna and she said “push on over girlfriend, I’m gett’n up there with you two.”

Ok, where is the food enough with the pictures
3. Mom is in the Miracle department.
It is funny how your children believe you can handle anything that life has to toss at you. Mine do, each time they get into a delema no matter what time of the day or night they call mom. Mom can fix it she lives in the miracle department and she will know what to do. Victoria had a bat get into the house and she woke as the sun came up and the bat started flying about the house to get somewhere dark. This is how the phone call went:
Ring, ring,
Victoria, “mom, listen you got to come over.”
Miracle mom, “oh, I do do I.”
Victoria, “scream, scream.”
Miracle mom, “Vic what is going on?”
Victoria, “(crying) get over here now! I need you mommmy, pleeeease”
Miracle mom, “what is going on?”
Victoria, “There is a bat trapped in Anna’s room and it is flying like crazy all over, hurry.”
Miracle mom, “Open her door so it can get out.”
Victoria, “Are you crazy it will get out, I just trapped it in there and shut the door, huuuurrrrrrrry – it’s big.”
Miracle mom, “Where is Anna, with you I hope.”
Victoria, “oooooh, she is in with the bat.”

5. Surprise Anniversary Party Last Night.
The French Gardener and I ventured to Summerside yesterday to stop off at ADL and Omega holdings for breakfast provisions. Anyway we got home to find that Vicki has planned a surprise Anniversary Party for us and everyone was waiting.
After 10 years we exchanged diamonds. I feel bad that I got Guy such a large one.
