Rehersal

We had such a phenomenal wedding weekend!!!! It was all so scary and fun and touching and just joyous! We started on Friday night with our rehersal. It was the people with active roles in the wedding and our families.We were so blessed by all the help we recieved. Dad cooked and Mom and Andy filled in the gaps.Jo baked the cakes.Itwas all wonderful. The Peterson's and Ron and I went early and started the arranging. It was quick!!! I cried all night,I was sooooo tired and sick.But amazingly it all came together.

George

I found this quote from George Carlin yesterday. I don't know if it really was him that said this but I hope it was!

SOMETHING TO PONDER: George Carlin

George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian o...f the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent and so very appropriate. An observation by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin
 
I'm going to take this as a personal challenge this year!

A little crochet!

I am a geek for crafting of all types. There are very few crafts out there that I haven't at least tried. But I'm always going to crochet. It was my first craft, given to me by my Granny, and I'll always love it most. When I'm stressed or unhappy or nervous, it's the first thing I think of.Recently I've been lacking for inspiration for a new project... I wonder if either of these will do!!

Ok, so I'm not Mrs. Pendle yet! But I will be in 11 days the good Lord willing!!! And yes, I am excited, but I'm really scared too! I hate,hate,hate doing anything at all in front of people.So I hope Mr. P gets that this is a huge declaration of my unwavering love for him<G>. Anyway...

I don't want to talk about wedding stuff, let's talk about other stuff. Stuff that keeps my world PINK!

I'm 51,old but not dead. The mom of 2 perfect daughters! Jannie 32, and Erin 31. They really are great. I am Nana to two of the most beautiful,perfect,awesome,funny little men in the world. Tristyn 9 and Theryn 7 months. AND a third wee man on the way! Chongo is what we call him and he should be here on about April 25th! I'm beside myself excited. 2013 is definately gonna be my year!!! I am also crazy in love  with Mr. P or Poppy as we call him here. And I'm a nurse. Currently unemployed. So you can see I have lots to keep me in the pink!

I'm also an artist,crafter,maker,baker,builder or anthing else I can do with my hands. And i expect that we'll be talking about lots of that! Right now I can not stay off of Pinterest or stop worrying over wedding stuff to get much done but in 15 days I will no doubt be crafting away!

Today I'm obsessed with this: and how I can recreate it! Night!
