Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too. Let's share!

This poem. I had it memorized when I was about 6 or 7 and had to recite it on stage at the Base Christmas pageant in Gimli, Manitoba. With actions, etc. I felt like Margaret O'Brien.

isn't found in what we receive,
but in how we share His love
with those around us.

In The English Kitchen today . . . Hot Buttered Cinnamon Sugar Cheerios. A great last minute gift to share. Or a treat for movie night.
I hope that you have a lovely day today. We are taking dad out with Maryann later and will probably do a bit of shopping while they have their visit together. Its gotten quite mild and will be warmer yet tomorrow. Whatever you get up to, don't forget!

ReplyDeleteLots of retro Christmas favourites, Marie. When I was a child we had a very favourite Gene Autry record with songs like “If it doesn’t snow on Christmas”, “When Santa Claus gets your letter”, 32 feet and eight little tails”, “Hardrock, Coco and Joe” and of course, “Rudolph”. We played it over and over again. You can find all of these on Youtube. Enjoy your outing this afternoon. It’s milder here, too. I’m off to look at your Cinnamon Sugar Cheerios”. Love and hugs, Elaine
ReplyDelete+4 Celsius yesterday and today, melting galore. I always remember The Night Before Christmas as it was a play that I did when in my first year of teaching, many years ago. Stores and roads are getting crazy, and we were out for 9 am, home now to do some jobs around the house. I'm trying your recipe for chicken breast tonight, I just know it will be delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, your favorites are my favorites….and… I bet you were the hit of the pageant!! I was fortunate to meet Margaret O’Brien in April, she’s 88, sharp, adorable and looking very much like her younger self … as she was in ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’ . I hope you have a most delightful day with your family and shopping! Best, Virginia
ReplyDeleteMarie, I have the Cheerios and may just try this snack!
