<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I had a wonderful day yesterday. Two of the sweetest, lovable, and well mannered</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span>Shih tzu's came to my home via a neighbor that was trying to find their owner. She was unable to keep them until the owner showed up because dhe has a huge family pet dog. So we said sure we will watch the in the mean time. Well, I put them in my sweet convertible VW and we drove through our community of Spring Valley Lake here in Victorville, CA. They loved riding around in the fresh air : )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They got to do a sleep over. Of course, we fed them and made sure they had plenty of fresh water to drink. We made lots of community friends as I drove around our little village asking if they looked familiar as I knocked on doors and asked people about the two little girls : ) </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They were fantastic over night guests : )</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning at 7:00am I put them in the back seat of my little car below:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We were on our way to go buy some doggie treats and more food. As we were driving up the hill a young man asked me if I had seen his two beloved </span><span style="font-size: large;">Shih tzu's and I said they are in the back seat. He was thrilled so I told him lead the way and we would follow him to their home. It was only 2 blocks away. Miss Daisy was happy to climb into his arms. Miss Sparky sat right next to me and did not want to get out : ) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, it was a fun adventure and I miss them already.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a wonderful day!</span></div>

My younger brother, Bruce, passed unexpectedly on March 7, 2012. My dear darling mom passed on to heaven on March 21, 2012. The lilac bushes were in full bloom outside my childhood home and the air brought so many vivid childhood memories back. My mom was an ardent gardener; hydrangeas, lilac bushes, and her beloved rose bushes and her abundant vegetable gardens. My older sister Betty has lovingly cared for the gardens since my mom was unable to do so in her later years. I remember driving up to visit my mom last year and Betty was in the garden, looking like an English garden lady with her gloves, straw sun bonnet on, and a trowel in her hand. So, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I feel very fortunate to have had my 63rd birthday on March 14, 2012. I hold onto so many small memories which give me joy and at the same time sadness. I cry for her going because she gave me so much and I know she knew how much I appreciated her kindnesses to me, even when I did not deserve them. I am alive in a world full of life, can smell the earth after the rain, see the wind, hear the vibrancy in others voices, and wake up ready to see and live a new day.</span></span><br />

Before I ramble on, I had the most pleasant experience Wednesday.<br />
A lady bought some items out of my etsy shop.<br />
I was so excited when I saw it was our friend <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EdenCoveTreasures"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Marylou</span></b></span></a>!!!<br />
Her blog is<span style="font-size: small;">:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://marylou49.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Marylou's Thoughts & Other Critical Matter</span></b></span></a> :) </span><br />
She has the most wonderful vintage/shabby/French/fou fou creations in her shop.<br />
Stop by and see her when you want eye candy; hers are functioning pieces that you CANNOT do without!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am scheduled for my (ugh) bladder surgery on Friday June 11th. A good thing for me physically yet my <a href="http://foursistersinacottage.blogspot.com/2010/06/see-you-in-california.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e06666;">Dear Friend Amy</b></span></a><br />
has invited me to meet with her and some other ladies in Temecula and I will be unable to get the proverbial hug, kiss and the opportunity to take photographs with her due to the scheduled above surgery : ( <br />
Please click on the link above and read all about her upcoming trip to Southern California.<br />
I am gearing up to see my wonderful neuro surgeon on June 9th and we will discuss the prognosis of the 3rd and hopefully last spine surgery I will need.The one where he will insert a metal rod and screws in my spine and hopefully the muscles and nerves will grow on and around it giving my spine the stability it really needs.<br />
Then I "found" the nicest, positive and wonderful blog.<br />
Her name is <a href="http://rachel-and-pias-cottage.blogspot.com/"><b style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lori Bei</span></b></a>.<br />
Please click the link and give her a holler. Just so sweet.<br />
I have a real sincere "thing" for positive, sincere and uplifting human beings.<br />
It keeps me on track.<br />
I need it more than not : ) <br />
I am listing in my etsy shop and anyone interested is certainly welcome to stop by.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please when you have time visit all of the above blogs as I look to them for delightful inspirations!!!<br />
I am so happy with the ending of the year that has allowed me to deal, positively, with<br />
many challenges I thought would make me pass out : )<br />
I found, through many discussions with many friends, that life serves us surprises and<br />
fortunately I am here to talk about them!!!<br />
Oh, I finally got my brace for my left leg : )<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgs8mTDHCdpYi3wAApzyIMrbst9p0mr66AREIpu6MnphAw1cW-EcpcqbYt6Sn0anm5_y-K5QWKTipkn0UOvMq9mvoB1krXhqid-P9Wet37ct9qqk-IMvnBajgzjYP323mLkTAaN6PEjSA/s1600-h/IMG_1762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgs8mTDHCdpYi3wAApzyIMrbst9p0mr66AREIpu6MnphAw1cW-EcpcqbYt6Sn0anm5_y-K5QWKTipkn0UOvMq9mvoB1krXhqid-P9Wet37ct9qqk-IMvnBajgzjYP323mLkTAaN6PEjSA/s320/IMG_1762.jpg" width="232" /></a><br />
</div> I tried it on and I almost walk normally.<br />
It is rather exciting for me as my left side has me walking with a gimpy stride. <br />
This is for many years because of an aneurysm I had when I was about 24.<br />
Then I had botched foot surgery that severed a main tendon in my left foot.<br />
Then the spinal stenosis surgery made me limp even more.<br />
Most people I have met only notice if I am tired and I have to think to lift my foot : )<br />
At least my brain still works : )<br />
Sometimes, I feel not regular and then I think of how truly fortunate I am : )<br />
Now all I have to do is go to Ross's or Nordstrom's Rack and find a pair casual<br />
leather walking shoes (they have to be 1 size larger to accept the brace and my foot)<br />
so I can start using it.<br />
Thank you dear ones<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">I am in awe of people that face adversity with an open heart and show strength while enduring pain (emotional, physical, etc) I cannot imagine. </span></b></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">What will my words say to them? </span></b></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> The Hospital Window </b></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.<br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The men <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3626316338612711260&postID=805821607649999252" id="AdBriteInlineAd_talked" name="AdBriteInlineAd_talked" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent url(http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/green-double-underline-006600.gif) repeat-x scroll center bottom; color: #006600; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: -2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_top"></a>talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Days, weeks and months passed. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his firstlook at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">It faced a blank wall. <br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3626316338612711260&postID=805821607649999252" id="AdBriteInlineAd_responded" name="AdBriteInlineAd_responded" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent url(http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/green-double-underline-006600.gif) repeat-x scroll center bottom; color: #006600; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: -2px; padding-bottom: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_top"></a>responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you to live and get well soon to have a look at all the nice things of this world.' <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Epilogue: </b> <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. </b><b> </b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. </b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. </b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>'<span style="color: red;">Today is a gift</span>, that is why it is called <span style="color: red;">The Present</span>.' </b></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am glad to have people on blogs to know, meet, listen too, talk with and enjoy the company of many people.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today is a happy new day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have family, friends and I like life : )</div><div style="text-align: center;">My daughter's are spending the day together with Lil Malaika : )</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am here thinking I have been rather droll and not very social thinking</div><div style="text-align: center;">about my ailments. That is so not cool. I am glad I am able to think, dream, share,</div><div style="text-align: center;">create, laugh, be happy, look to the future and have so many women I can draw</div><div style="text-align: center;">good from!!!I am coming out and I do not have something nice to say I am not going to say anything!!! My new life's thought and I will follow it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been busy this weekend listing in my etsy shop and dressing one of my clay dolls. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to work on this blog and redo my blog roll as it disappeared off the front page of my blog. Irritating yet technology happens : )<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is a bright & chilly {45 degrees} outside; I sit on the balcony and drink coffee as it gives me thoughts of the bistro's on the Left Bank in Paris.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I use to sit out there and drink black coffee (Not Americano) and hold the mug/bowl tightly to keep my fingers warm. The gaiety even in the Artic freezing cold was so rejuvenating : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I never saw an unhappy face. Faces in deep thought, concentration, heated & serious conversations, secretive yet never unhappy. I would have my legs wrapped around a chair leg and chewing on a croissant (actually savoring it while it melted in my mouth) and gazing at all of the life around me. The birds pecking at the ground for tidbits. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am recuperating from the flu; went to the doctor Tuesday morning to see my Urologist; appointment cancelled as she had an emergency to tend too so I rescheduled and went to my orto-Spine doctor and rescheduled an appointment there. Around 1:00 pm I threw up : (<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I got on the bus to get back to my daughter's in Canoga Park and it was all I could do to sit upright. I finally got into her apartment and continued throwing up. I was so tired and my muscles ached terribly. I stayed in bed, literally for 2 whole days sleeping off and on. all I could ingest was water. Thursday evening I could finally sit up yet it hurt. I attempted to answer some e-mails and could not stay upright.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, I am grateful to sit here and be able to converse : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went to the market to buy some items for Thanksgiving dinner. I am going to bake a turkey breast as both of my daughter's like just the white meat. Malaika, the new Mommie, asked for her Nana's okra, tomato and corn dish so I will prepare that for her. I will make the cornbread stuffing, fresh green beans and fresh baked sweet potatoes. Malaika does not like sweets so no baked pies this year as Shana, the healthful one, does not use processed sugars and I am not into Stevia yet. Shana will make the cheesy macaroni and cheese as we all enjoy that. We are making the dinner {I am; Shana will prepare her things at Malaika's} and taking it to her sister's in Los Angeles so the 3 of us can be delighted in the company of Lil Malaika on her first Thanksgiving : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so glad to be able to sit and say hi to all.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, I am going to be even more productive and go to my etsy shop and list some vintage brass finding's.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Everyone have a lovely day!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Much happiness and peace!!!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom would let me sew (yes, I learned to sew on a Singer treadle sewing machine at about 6 or 7).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On his way home from work, my Dad would stop at the butcher's and bring him a huge sheet of white paper so I could draw on it. I would lay on the hardwood floor and draw to my heart's content. I could look at anything and copy it : ) If any of you are old enough to remember the pirate on the back of book of matches...that was one of my favorite things to draw. I remember imagining what a pirate's life would be like : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am going for a fitting on December 1st for a brace for my left leg. I had a stroke when I was 24 and the muscles in the left leg atrophied; I was very fortunate as it is only about 1 1/2 inches difference in my legs. I was paralyzed totally for about 6 months yet with the assistance of friends, doctors and the wonderful staff at U.C.L.A.'s Neurophysiology ward I am pretty okay. The physical therapy made me cry and cuss yet I have lived a normal life for the last 36 years because of it. Now the past comes back to haunt me physically; I have been walking, rather painfully, with a cane for some time and I am bending over to relieve it : ( Yesterday I sewed a black, red and pink tulle net tutu for my youngest grand daughter Lil Malaika. I have made tutu's before and I want her to grow up knowing she is special and that magical times can be anywhere, any place and any time. My oldest daughter asked me why black? I have no answer : ) I wanted it to be different and not just pink. It seems most of her clothing is pink or has pink in it : )<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoitA4caMZh9Pyyeqw4NyQ4Yb7eIbhrzvudaFMr4Ptu7zYyMs_x4PBAJJulEmfJhBpUADiA-aUy59-7Wi6SaWBednLqXq48h_4GMcG2BkbVdYyENmpHbMAFmlqzniTUf1OPxq7ghVKQoY/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_0677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoitA4caMZh9Pyyeqw4NyQ4Yb7eIbhrzvudaFMr4Ptu7zYyMs_x4PBAJJulEmfJhBpUADiA-aUy59-7Wi6SaWBednLqXq48h_4GMcG2BkbVdYyENmpHbMAFmlqzniTUf1OPxq7ghVKQoY/s320/Copy+of+IMG_0677.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the tutu...the black tulle is the bottom layer, then red and the pink is on top.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took the photos on Shana's antique rose velvet settee.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPjiQ5EsCNHEsPVM3Mh8lsWYcOeqX0OaxrRBRvM7a6EBUNSvJy77mXuwxYGc0mvwNPDX2KLJocWtI7VZGkpxHeETLBQtmxPMrI8Wz5ptS7s_2Z3eOPXQgjK_ILRT5rx9HcP8F8NoFAOA/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_0679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPjiQ5EsCNHEsPVM3Mh8lsWYcOeqX0OaxrRBRvM7a6EBUNSvJy77mXuwxYGc0mvwNPDX2KLJocWtI7VZGkpxHeETLBQtmxPMrI8Wz5ptS7s_2Z3eOPXQgjK_ILRT5rx9HcP8F8NoFAOA/s320/Copy+of+IMG_0679.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is so layered and gathered you barely see the black tulle. There are 3 layers, 6 yards gathered tulle in each color and the waistband is a 2 inch wide black Victoria's Secret elastic. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, it is very full and sticks straight out like a ballerina's short tutu : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to show you what I ahve been up too as Shana, will take it to Lil Malaika on Sunday Novemeber 15th and I am sure they will take photos of her with it on then.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There is a lady,<a href="http://karlascottage.typepad.com/karlascottage/"> <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Karla Nathan {Karla's Cottage}</span></b></a> who has chronicled her Grand daughter <a href="http://karlascottage.typepad.com/karlascottage/2009/11/winners-water-fairies-and-fun.html"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Sugar Wings</span></b></a> and I want to give Lil Malaika a sparkly life too : )<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I suppose I am like all Grandma's and want my grand children to have a charmed life. It is so cool having this little girl so close as my other 3 live in Cleveland Ohio and I am in Southern California.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC4eS5MQ36IZ4zUtQ6yzL4q0k_R3f3J8oPtlG7dJysUneU88ODy3Tl5a8FxGFIRTII7DAFzIkOr7IlFXWqOx8tXSEfacnJRTiE5ymBWXZPyqqONmxWR0w0_-3DL1eXt63-n0U4ys7ULE/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_0493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnC4eS5MQ36IZ4zUtQ6yzL4q0k_R3f3J8oPtlG7dJysUneU88ODy3Tl5a8FxGFIRTII7DAFzIkOr7IlFXWqOx8tXSEfacnJRTiE5ymBWXZPyqqONmxWR0w0_-3DL1eXt63-n0U4ys7ULE/s320/Copy+of+IMG_0493.jpg" /></a><br />

The hands are my youngest daughter, Malaika, proudly holding Lil Malaika up for auntie Shana to take the picture : )<br />
