I believe in daydreams


I believe in daydreams and warm cups of tea
Hand written postcards sent from you to me 

I believe in laughter shared with a friend
Long summer days that you never want to end



 
 I believe in lips that speak only of love
 The greatest of all reigns from up above

Tuesday Treasures

It has been a while since I posted some treasures in my life. May has been keeping me busy. I always find May to be a month that `blossoms` me.

It somehow wants me to reach my full potential and will throw a mix match of challenges at me, forcing me to try harder; try something new and keep going. By June I`m ready for a real vacation.

Somewhere between working hard, and complaining about all the work I have to do, I found time to go thrifting.

I bought Ernest Hemingway`s writings and a wool hat. The book was $2 and the hat was $1.50. If I get the time I can read and sport my new hat. I also made a dessert by putting frozen yogurt into a cord pear. It is delicious!

Thrifting my way to spring

Snow continues to fall from the heavens. While others speak of sunny skies and chirps from the morning robin, I'm still waiting for the weather to grant me some warmth. As I wait for spring to truly arrive here in my city, I thrift. I'm hoping mother nature will get the hint if I keep filling my drawers with springtime wear.

There are a number of thrift shops where I live, but there is one in particular that I think about first when I need something. These are my most recent purchases from there. I don't remember the exact price of the items, but I know that none of the items cost more than $5.00.
