Thank you, Thank You Very Much Valentine!

today i was thinking about all the people that deserve a little love and thanks...because i believe that "Valentine's Day" isn't just for sweathearts, husbands and wives, girlfriends and boyfriends. i have always tried to make it a special day for "special someones" - but then that's what I love to do. it dosen't have to cost a thing - you can email a pretty poem or quote, leave a sticky note in a hidden spot - it not what you spend.
honest
so... here's to
nurses and caregivers
music teachers - all teachers!
cab drivers
day care staff
physcians
Hospice
Cafeteria Workers
coaches
bus drivers
Postal Workers
and Mommas and Pappas too!

Love, Jennifer

Imagine all the people... Memorial Day Thoughts in Maryland



You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

as we make our way towards -
Memorial Day, Monday, May 31st

Thank you to our serving military and their families,
to those who have served, history's heros and lost.

Crackin' Up Cousins! Sistahs in Spirit...


Ok, ok! This is silly but my cousin Linda and I are sisters separated at birth - it has to be! If you ever listened to us and tried to figure out the reasoning behind our sense of humor - it's sort of like that twin communication thing you might have read about it? We've roared on a roll away bed in Rome, we've giggled in her room, we've chuckled in the car. No, it doesn't even have to be especially funny to anyone else. Although, there are a few family members that have shared moments similar to our's about our Grandmas,and assorted relatives that we discuss at summer cookouts or holiday dinners. You'd just have to be there. Unless you have ridiculous laughter of your own and are lucky enough to have a sistah of the heart like I do.
