Time to QVC, Baby!!!!





Niece Errin (sister Martha's daughter) wrote for permission to use an old photo of me for some of her scrapbooking brochures. She works for a company near Ann Arbor, Michigan working on kits they sell on QVC. I was flattered. The photo was one I had never seen before but taken of me at age 29, the month and year that Bob and I were married (above) Errin just graduated from Western Michigan Univ.in graphic arts. She designs with an oriental flair that I think makes her very current, appealing to nature, the environment, and the senses. Her BF Chris is also an artist, though he is trying to design computer games. It's great to see a young couple trying to work their way up in their careers.


My hope in this generation taking over is that they are not shy about what they do and don't want in life. If they are to survive in this world of ugly international politics, thank God they will be able to hold their own. Our generation was taught to be hard-working and slowly go up the ladder of success. I think these kids and others will knock down barriers and forge ahead in this world without all the fears that we had growing up. They will do well because they aren't afraid to take risks. Let's hear it for the creative spirit in these young adults!


Support Errin on QVC under scrapbooking kits at QVC.com Shopping ...She used to work on the Flavia kits but this one is being introduced by a Lisa Bearnson on April 18th....shown here on her site.... Welcome to LisaBearnson.com!

Happy Shopping!

One Moment That Will Last Forever

Daughter Beth is now in her 30's. She was born with brain damage and at the age of two we had her tiny little Jenny Linde bed next to ours to monitor her as she was on meds. for seizures. I leaned over to check her in the morning and returned to my place in bed. To my surprise, she crawled up on our bed and planted a kiss on my cheek. That has never happened since, but I can tell you it has lived in my mind over and over like a long playing movie. Any parent with a child who displays autistic tendencies and lives in their own world knows what I am talking about. Bonding is such an issue. I hug her, stroke her hair, and bond as much as she will allow. I know she loves me, but have learned to accept she cannot physically respond in kind. Our world is blessed to have her, just the way she is, as we have learned to treasure each and every simple thing life has to offer. God Bless the miracles in our lives!

God Be With Me

  Wednesdays are my day off from husband Bob and daughter Beth...Mostly I run errands. After stopping by our son's house down the road, I returned to the car and saw these sticks forming a cross by my front tire..."God is with me today" I said out loud. Looked for house items and a few things for Bob's birthday next week that will no doubt be returned. He is very hard to buy for...Stopped at Penera for my favorite Broccoli Cheese Soup, before heading home. Once back, I put Beth to bed, and cleaned up after Bob's dog who is not house trained yet. Bob was asleep in bed (or playing possum) so I went online to Facebook where I saw a recipe for Penera's Broccoli Cheese Soup by chance (?). The thing is I used to wonder how people can say God talks to them. Now I feel that if you look for miracles in life you will see puzzle pieces that fit. It can be as simple as a cross, a recipe or something more earth shaking. But all are bits of the life he puts before you...

I'm Back Again...Thanks, Holly

After a year off from this blog, I have decided to come back. Life was slow and I was in a fog since losing sister Martha on my birthday in 2008, but now I am starting to want to live again. Thanks to Holly on Decor 8 for inspiring me tonight to reopen this blog. http://www.decor8blog.com/ She has been a lifesaver to me at times when I felt disconnected from the beauty in this world. Will be posting from time to time again.... Hope you will check back in with me. Love, Marilyn
