I also love the joy of having no time constraints most days being retired. So much less stress and it is nice to be able to enjoy all the little moments you miss when you have to scurry around meeting deadlines etc.CatieAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433305330968854290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-15095065897244899032015-02-05T02:30:20.860-08:002015-02-05T02:30:20.860-08:00Morning Carol,
Another great post...........I will...Morning Carol,<br />Another great post...........I will have to find that song and listen to it, sounds very neat. <br />I truly think it is the simple things that make us happiest in life, at least it is for me, and sounds like it is for you too.<br />Most of what I decorate with reminds me of someone or some event in life, which evokes memories every time I see it,<br />like the song says. Music is such a powerful force...........I love music, I would much rather listen to music than watch<br />TV anyday.........<br /><br />Happy Valentines day to you and Steve if I don't get by before Valentines day......and loved your sweet Valentine touches<br />at the cottage.<br /><br />Blessings Hon,<br />NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-31773464976186734172015-02-04T18:30:03.080-08:002015-02-04T18:30:03.080-08:00I love all of your sweet simple vignettes around y...I love all of your sweet simple vignettes around your sweet cottage!

Your photos are beautiful. Amazing how a song can inspire ideas, isn't it?

That picture with the stuffed hand in it, oh my. I want to make one of my husbands hands. When he was in the hospice facility the first time I walked in his room and there was an outline of his hand laying on the tray table. I asked him where it came from. He said some lady drew around his hand, for what he didn't know. I have kept that drawing because it reminds me how soft and gentle his hands were, and his spirit too.

It happens when you least expect it. I love to have those memories. This thought for some reason just came to me. Probably because of your dog eating the heart, hah. Our son loved to fish. He caught a pretty big one. My husband wanted to preserve this fish and had it mounted. Yuck. He paid alot too. My son was always showing it to people until our spaniel ate it. Double yuck. We still laugh about that.
