Joy Pockets with Monica
the beautiful bike ride with my boy
spending time with friends from France
watching M. become the characters she adores...
as the sounds of Nightmare Before Christmas echo through the house
nearly finished with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
the smell of fresh, mixed paint
the joy of pinning
all the words I want to remember pasted in one space

I think vine ripe tomatoes are one of the best tasting vegetables in the world! Enjoy this weekend MJ.
ReplyDeletePS- Have you gotten any rain? Has pour here all night and our Water Festival starts today {of course}.
I think that having the flu has brought me joy, because it has given me an excuse to 'stop' that even I can ignore ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose tomatoes look delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd that word collage....Stunning :)
Enjoy your weekend MJ.

I love that collage! I used to love making collages in high school.
ReplyDeleteMmm, I can just imagine the taste of those sun-warmed tomatoes. Enjoy!
Have a most wonderful weekend, MJ!
Love the words you chose for your collage!
ReplyDeleteSo I have been MIA for a bit and I am now just catching up...and I just had to comment on this post. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the all the words I want to remember in one space thing!! Did you put that together? It's awesome!! Can I borrow this idea? I would love to do one for me. I think it would be a great exercise and may help keep me focused on what's important.
