  3. wow - your daughter is so talented. Beautiful. The sweetest spot on earth is in my husband's arms and wherever that is, is home. I LOVE that you named the cowboy on my blog Inigo Montoya! One of my all-time favorites. "Now prepare to die" - gave me a good chuckle this morning. My fav' line from that movie is "I do not think that means what you think it means"

  18. there's a reason the phrase 'home sweet home' gets said so much! for me, right now, the thing i most look forward to when i'm on my way home is seeing the garden in all its glory--bring on the goods! :)

  19. Gosh - I have such funny feelings about the word 'home' - I've moved so many times in the last year and now, finally, am beginning to feel that my little apartment that I share with my boy-friend is "home". But home is also Australia and my family. Are you allowed to have multiple homes?

  20. It's our own special haven filled with love. And I am basking in it today :)

    Hope you're having a fabulous weekend, honey! xoxo

  21. I love your postings:) Home in one of my favorite places for many reasons...
    It's where I can dance and sing without anyone to laugh and point.
    It's where I can separate myself from the world and its wickedness and feel the spirit instead.
    It's where I can read snuggled up on my bed with a wonderful book:)

  22. Love this one...so inspiring and moving.....

    My home is my safe place.... where I can be me....I can sit on my deck in the early morning and give thanks with a cup of coffee...

    A place that Joe and I have raised our family and where the screams of two little boys coming through my door...makes my heart fill with joy!!

    A little sweet kitty lives here also that no one wanted and they wanted to put her to sleep.....but she lives her in much joy!!!

    Wishing you so many blessings sweet friend!!!

  24. Lucky winner =)

    I like to surround myself with candles and nice smelling things in my home. I put out handsoaps for the scent, not for the soap purpose, I use wallflowers, I love candles... I'm starting to see I may have a problem =)

  25. I think your daughter is really talented. Wish I could paint like that! Being at home on the weekend with hubs and our cat and enjoying the comforts of home makes the week worthwhile.

  26. I can't find a comment box for the video, so I will leave my comment here. Your mother is a beautiful woman and my heart goes out to you and her and the rest of your family. And you're correct in saying that bad things can happen to good people. But oooooh, I can just feel the love in that video, and love can conquer all.

    Many blessings to you sweet lady. x o
