To let all of my blogger friends know, Randi Lee is putting together a 3-Ups Bloghop.
She says it will work like this: "Each
blogger will pick the blogger listed below them, visit his or her site,
read a post or two, and then tell them three things they like about the
person or his or her blog. Easy enough, right? And how good will you
feel after making someone else's day? I reckon pretty darn good." Visit her site for details (link in the name of the bloghop above)
Thought you might like to participate being as it's a one time thing and who knows who you might find out there who clicks with you?
Wednesday we head for North Carolina for my father's memorial. I am glad the time has finally come. I'm glad we'll be seeing family and friends and sharing our memories, thoughts and emotions together. A dear friend who has also passed away much too soon will also be honored and remembered. Marc Lammens has been an adopted part of our family for well over 20-something years. He was 56 and is greatly missed by not only his wife and 13 year old son, but by all of us who knew him as well. I'm hoping for bright sunny weather, they would both appreciate that. I'll be back to writing and blogging next week and can't wait. I've got some kind of "bee's nest" stirred up in my head right now and it's buzzing like crazy. As Cat Stevens says, "I can't keep it in, No, I gotta let it out!" Listen below! Love love this song...
Until next week Happy Memorial Day weekend for those of you in the States and Happy Weekend for those of you elsewhere!

Yes I know Gary and thank you for looking anyway! Do you know Cat Steven's Moonshadow song? That is part of the music on the video/photos we have of my father. Thank you for your thoughts and words.

DeleteHi Lisa! Guess what? You're the person I get to 3-Up! I read through quite a few of your posts, and from what I've read, I can see that you are a loving, caring, down to earth person. So glad to "meet" you! Have a fantastic day!

Much love, Beverly
