The All Important Red Hat

It's tradition.  I guess when you turn 50 you are given a red hat.  You join the red hat ladies group.  It's supposedly a big deal.

SURPRISE!!!  My mother turned 50 and so we had a surprise party for her.  It was wonderful.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble.  It was a fun get-together this year since the family was all so close.  Thanksgiving dinner was just as wonderful as always.

The Lord's tender mercies

1.  No snow that sticks til December 1st.  Today was the day.

2. Friends that go out of their way to say simply, Hello...at the right moment during your day.

3. Natural wonders that surround us - this morning's fog over the water as I was driving to work or the scent of pine while talking to a good friend.

New discoveries

I am grateful for people who can quote the truth.  Relationships are so valuable.  Everyone needs good, enriching relationships in life.  I feel people have come and gone so often in my life.  I am grateful to have gotten to know them while they were there.

A patient of mine came in today and asked how many kids I had.  I said I wasn't married so it began a talk of dating and guys as usual.  Then he said, " Relationships are too valuable to be left up to men."  

I am so grateful for that comment.  I can strive for relationships with those that I want one with, just by putting forth the effort.

Can you smell better with a larger nose?

I was watching the court jestor the other night and observing Danny Kaye and his larger nose.  I was talking to a friend about it and he said that he doesn't have a large nose.  I said he did.  Then I had time to think about who would have a larger nose.

Cyrano de Berberac

So I explained that Danny's isn't as large as some....but his caricatures of him are always with a prominent nose.  It made me smile.

However, I still do not know if you smell better with a bigger nose.
