Ode to Pink

Just sittin' and chillin' today while Sweetie tries to clean the garage that looks - and feels- like a sticky glue bomb exploded in it. In an effort to fix a few floor tiles with loose edges, Dad's handyman scraped up all the tile. What remains is this goo that probably resembles the La Brea Tar Pits. Sabertooth tigers may be smart enough to avoid the garage, but the humans in this house have to traverse the gummy floor on a regular basis. It's really kind of nasty.

Dad ordered some indoor/ outdoor carpet which sounds a tad to fussy for a garage but I've learned to keep my mouth shut when he is redecorating. Instead I fume and cuss under my breath every time I have to take a load of clothes to the washing machine and back.

But I digress .... while Sweetie is giving his non-blocked heart arteries a work out I'm going through blogs I've missed for a few days. One of my faves is Patti's blog Living with my Shadow. Today I discovered the very talented woman actually has 13 blogs. They are not all current but there is good stuff in all of them. So I strolled through and found this pink art bra she made. You should go check it out and read what she has to say about my new color pink. It seems she already knew the power of pink.

I'm a little slow, but I'm catching on! As Miss Patti says, "Never under estimate the Power of Pink!" Check it out (Scroll down three posts to see the bra)

Feeling Pink. Feeling the Love,
Merry ME

Indoor/outdoor carpeting is an excellent idea for a garage. I think you will really like it once it is installed. Great on the feet:)

You are so sweet!! That bra was a labor of love by my sister and me.. that was auctioned off to provide funds for women who do not have health insurance!! They traveled around the U.S.! And I was blessed to have a picture of it grace their calendar that year!!
Thanks for reminding all about the power of pink!!

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
