Even today we have been out in the garage, going through old things and getting rid of some of it. I also found some treasures that I couldn't find. :-> <br />A sending a (familiar)quote your way:<br /> "After all," Anne said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."<br />Hugs! xoValerie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01676002579226473400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-48879969378990872014-07-08T18:36:14.158+01:002014-07-08T18:36:14.158+01:00Glad that Mitzie got her hair trimmed etc. It is l...Glad that Mitzie got her hair trimmed etc. It is lovely when they are so silky clean and smell lovely for that first hour or two !! I have taken the name of that book as I think it will be a good read...like you I love anyting about Canada. I have been to Cape Breton so woould be even more interesting I think....Hope you do go to Dr.this week and get some result....I am sure you will do ok with your student, just make sure you are getting the proper "rent" from her.and do set down a few ground rules...My Sarah and John had students for many many years from Bath Uni. and quite a few were actually "adopted" into the family and we think of them still as "our boys" and are still in touch..Have a lovely lovely day.

As for the ketchup flavored potato chips...I love potato chips and I like ketchup but the two together...I'll need to think on that one.

Part of me just <br />wants to hang onto everything. :-( <br /><br />Pam, thanks for your faithfulness in reading me. I miss it when I don't see a comment from you. You've become an integral part of my day. I would love your e-mail address! <br /><br />Kate, I could so use your help! My arthritis seems to keep me from doing the things I really want to do and a man can only do things to a certain way. Sigh. He does his best, but still, you know how it goes! I daren't say anything either or he thinks I am criticizing which I suppose I am in a way! lol<br /><br />Thanks Monique! You are a dear friend! xxoo <br />Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-84222824480375077532014-07-08T12:58:51.799+01:002014-07-08T12:58:51.799+01:00Hi Marie, love your new pictures and I'm not s...Hi Marie, love your new pictures and I'm not surprised your CD sold out, let's hope it's the start of something big! I live in Wallasey and we have a charity shop here for St Johns Hospice that just sells books. It's a fabulous shop and is just like a proper book shop. Maybe there is something similar in Chester? I hate clutter too, my dream job would be de-cluttering peoples houses and cleaning them till they sparkled! The only thing is I'd have to go back every week to make sure they were'nt drifting back to their old ways hahaha!

Thankfully that is not the hand you use for your art. You can still do what you love. Your drawings and the sayings you put with them are delightful. I'm particularly fond of the sparrow quote. I keep a little brown sparrow on my shelf here to remind me. We are in His care. Hope you have a terrific Tuesday.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-67183687836003215442014-07-08T11:25:41.712+01:002014-07-08T11:25:41.712+01:00Love the art..toujours!

LOVE, love, love your new illustrations...Hi, Marie! LOVE, love, love your new illustrations! They are very sweet and charming--but do love all the new layers of texture, prings and colors. They're like nini quilts almost! :o) So sorry it's taking so long for something to be sorted out about your thumb. 7 weems seems a very long time for you to having to deal with this. Hope this week's doc visit will reveal some steps toward healing! VERY exciting abour your student boarder next month! Nerve-racking yes... on both ends maybe--LOL! But hoping it will be a good thing for everyone. :o) Goodness, has it been 4 1/2 years already since your move up to Chester?! Time does fly... And with time we accumulate, don't we?! The last two year's we've been culling a good bit--but I think we could do more. TJ's hesitant about the completely minimal thing... more convincing, maybe?! LOL... ;o) Happy Week to you all there ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-17141462124976027882014-07-08T09:47:57.677+01:002014-07-08T09:47:57.677+01:00Glad I am not alone in this Suzan!
