Show & Tell Friday & Memoir Meme...

It's Friday again...where has the week gone!

Two more days and the kids will be out of school..."Oh Boy, Oh Boy!

Prayers Needed! "smiles"

This week for Show and Tell, I wanted to share something that cost very little, but is priceless to me!

Wednesday, when I picked up Ashley from school, she had a bundle of flowers/weeds wadded in her hand. She jumped in the car and said, these are for you Mom!

Ashley has been bringing me flowers from the yard, ever since she was old enough to do so. Many times, she has presented me with dandelions, with 1" stems. Try putting those in a vase, while a sweet, eager to please, cherub face is looking up at you with pride. They might as well have been roses to her...and to me they most definitely were!

Sheri Easter, a southern gospel singer and songwriter, had a song out years ago, that said, "She deserves an armful of roses, but she's satisfied with a handful of weeds."

Now, I humbly do not think I am the mother my children deserve, although I try. Therefore I do not expect roses...and those sweet little weeds are the most beautiful "flowers" God created when your child offers them up to you!

Now onto the Six Word Memoir Meme....

Lisa, a new blogger, over at "Stop and Smell the Chocolates," sent me a meme challenge earlier in the week. If you haven't visited Lisa yet, please do. She loves chocolate, Jesus, and her family...not necessarily in that order! LOL! ...and she is so funny and sweet!

The rules were, to create a six word MEMOIR of yourself and challenge five other bloggers to try it also. I'm offering an open invitation...anyone that would like to participate, please do and let me know, so I can check it out!

My Memoir is:

"Old Soul in a Younger Body!"

I love the conveniences of the modern world...Air Conditioning, Cars with Air Conditioning, Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaner, Flat Hair Irons, Spanx...

But I also adore staying at home with my family,making a home for them. I am no June Cleaver....

And certainly no Aunt Bea...

But I love the simpler days of old, vintage items, and the value system and morals...should I just say...MANNERS!

I think I was born way after my time! "smiles"

But I am quite thankful that dresses and high heels are no longer required for housework!!!

One last note...HGTV Design Star is coming back soon! Yea! ...this is wonderful, considering this season of Survivor is now over, and American Idol has one more week! This is my favorite show! It starts June 8th!



Hope Everyone has a great weekend! Hugs & Blessings, Rhonda :)
