Best Line of the Week #4

-
What a fantastically awesome group of blog friends I have. So many of the comments on my post yesterday really hit home . . . but one, in particular, must be repeated. That one is from my dear friend, Mitzi, over at "Daily Reflection" who wrote:
Mitzi, dear dear friend, you hit the nail right on the head . . .I was SO overthinking it! And while "LIVE" may not be the word I'm going with for 2011, the whole idea of "LIVE" (and your comment) brought a big ol'smile to my face and a tear in my eye. It reminds me a line from one of my very favorite movies and plays, "Auntie Mame", where the dear Mame Dennis says, "Live! Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" How true, how true!

So dear Mitzi, thank you so very much for helping me realize that LIVING is what really matters.

And for you, a very special "Best Line of the week" Award!


Feel free to grab a badge and post it on your blog, dear Mitzi. And thank you for understanding ME and knowing exactly what I need to hear! You are a dear dear friend!

If you don't know Mitzi, take a little visit to her pad. You can find her here (it really is a lovely place to visit! You'll like it so much, you'll wish you could move in!)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
