Memee Ola

Oh Memee Ola!

You have touched many hearts and hands,

and have spread love and laughter throughout your journey.

 You showed me how to play pouf pouf and roast a chicken, 

step carefully in the garden, watch for the birds and make lemon squares.

 Shared with me your collections, your loves and paper hearts,

taught me to see beauty in the most simplest form,

and shoo'd me out of your home when you had had enough. 

Voila!  Je suis fini.

Forever in my heart, your old heart.

Safe travels down the river, my dear Memee.

HEY NINETEEN

every year I set the birthday table with candles, funny wind-up toys,
Twizzlers, Cheez Doodles, and many  photographs of the guest of honor.
Today is ELI's 19th (holy moley) Birthday.
Just now,  I grabbed this collage off my bedroom wall..
contact sheets of Eli (almost three) posing.. or not..  for a portrait for Spark.
He brought his tambourine and honey stirrer.
David Caras took these photographs that  I will forever cherish.
I remember that day like it was yesterday.
Happy 19th Year E!

sweets for the sweet

This is easily one of my favorite gifts that I am giving this year.
I cannot take credit for this sweet idea, I found it on pinterest and ran with it.
I come from a long line of ice cream fans and it seemed perfectly perfecto for me.
I whipped up a strong batch of chocolate sauce and found
jars not TOO big ( but BIG enough) to fill.
Added assorted mini candies, gummies and chocolates, waffle bowls and cones.
Packed in a sturdy box and VOILA!
Sundae Box..
JUST ADD ICE CREAM
..YUM!
