PICTURE PERFECT FRIDAY ~ INFINITE

   

 

Picture Perfect Friday has a new face!

(Actually it has a couple of new faces!!)

They are incorporating team work into PPF

and we all know when we use team work

that

things are done better

and are lots more fun!!!

Our host this week is Cherie

and she started out this team effort

with a great word: INFINITE

If you are not a part of PPF

and would like to join in all the fun

just follow this link --------->PICTURE PERFECT

 

What could be more infinite than love?

It is all around us. 

It is passed from one generation to the next.

There is love from parents to children, and children to their parents,

There is love of your brothers, sisters,

your grandchildren, and  your grandparents. 

There is love for your extended family and your friends.

There is love of the people on the streets and all around our world. 

I could go on and on because love is infinite.....

 

"If a thing loves, it is infinite."

~William Blake

 

These are people I love very much,

I am blood related to two (they are my grandaughters)

I am related in marriage to two (my son's mother and father in law)

and I am not related at all to two

BUT

My love for all 6 is infinite

as I can not begin to tell you how much I love each of them!!!

I could have posted a picture of my children or my granchildren,

my mother, my siblings, my friends

Any of those pictures would have been of infinite love!

Yes, it is all around us!

And when you feel as though you are alone ~ Remember:

God has an infinite love for each of us!!!

 

My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. 

The more I give thee, the more I have,

For both are infinite."

~ William Shakespeare

 

"I thank you God for the most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,

and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural,

which is infinite, which is yes."

~ E. E. Cummings

 

 

I thank Him too for my friends

May you have a wonderful weekend!!!

I hate to tell you this, Mama.....

 

My last look at Monterey Beach

 

At a very early age, I leaned that my mother was a very wise woman.  There was not much that she didn't know and I don't think you could have found anything she couldn't do once she put her mind to it.  Have to tell you she use to even inform us that one day we would find out she knew everything.  I believed it and wanted to grow up to be just like her.  Now it seems that something has been called to my attention which disputes all I have ever known to be true.

For many years now, my mother has said to anyone that would listen that the nicest people in the world live in North Carolina.  Everyone that I have met from North Carolina has turned out to be wonderful indeed, but on a resent occasion I had the opportunity to find out first hand that the nicest people in the world, in fact, live in California.  I have been taught not to talk to back to my mother but I just have to speak up this time.  Now she really will know everything!!!

 

 

Everyone have a wonderful week!!!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

 

  Thursday in Monterey...

(Feb. 21, 2008)

 

 

John took us to the 

Monterey Bay Aquarium!!!

Thank you so much, John!

What a wonderful place!!!

I have a few great pictures but of course,

Cherie has the the scoop!

View hers with discretion

as my PPF was just a sample!

 

 

Just in case John wondered

why we were late

each time something fun

was planned....

I have encluded this picture of Cherie

getting ready for our day

at the Aquarium!

But we did make it!!!!

And you will see by the few pictures below

it is such a great place!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My pictures don't begin to do it justice!

It is such an amazing and interesting place!

You will be happy to hear

that we stayed away from the water here!

but we did each have a cup of coffee

and I am thinking....

We should quit drinking!

Hope everyone has

a wonderful weekend!!!

"Me and my Shadow"

 

 

Cherie was in rare form today

on our trip to the

Monterey Bay Aquarium!!!

Yes, another great day in California

(Could say the best so far....

but that is a tough call since

they all have been so great!)

A pit stop and I hear this chuckle

and look up...

well, need I say more? 

It was going to be posted folks

no matter what !

This way I had cropping rights!!!

Okay so Cherie took the picture but

it is my butt on the line .......

(so to speak)

Well, you get the picture.

And it should help the public understand

and have a little mercy for John Oh and I.

Yes, Cherie is the other part of this song

and no matter if I am the shadow

or she is the shadow ~ I wouldn't

have it any other way!!!!

She is the best friend (SHADOW)

a girl could have!!!!

Oh, today is her birthday!!!!

 

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY,

CHERIE!

 

 

WISHING EVERYONE COULD

HAVE A WEEKEND

LIKE MY WEEK IS GOING!!!

 

 

Another wonderful day in California.....

Capitola

 

What can one say about Tuesday in Capitola?

It was neatest little place!

I've never laughed so hard in all my life!

All day long!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more details on the day:

See Cherie's blog when posted!!!

Monday, Monterey, and Me

Yes, Monday and Monterey just have to have me in there too,

as that was the part of California I was in today with two of

my favorite people in the whole world!!!  What a wonderful day!!!

For stories of my visit ~ you need to see Cherie's page

as she is the writer!  I spent most of the day smiling! 

Well laughing out loud.  How I wish everyone

could meet these two ~ they are so worth sharing!!!

John got his brownies (requested by Frannie)

and Cherie and I enjoyed them also  

(Think I ate more than my fair share.)

We searched for shells ~ admired the view

and killed spiders and did I mention ......

We smiled and laughed alot?

Well, we did. How I hope the week has started out well for all !!!

 

(I will try to visit PPF tomorrow night ~ sorry I am so late ~ would gladly have each and everyone of you here to share in the adventure!)

Today's the day!!!!

 

 

A note to my friends.....

As many of you know I am headed to  California for a visit with Cherie and am one excited girl!!!   Leave for the airport in two hours.  Will have the opportunity to meet several people that I think are so special!  I have not been very social on here the last couple of weeks between work, getting ready for this trip and family obligations (the last being my youngest grandchild's Baptism yesterday ~ also my week to work) but I will visit some while staying at Cherie's and promise to update everyone when I return and hopefully with pictures!!!  So many nice people on here ~ wouldn't it be great if we could all meet???? 

 Everyone have

a wonderful week!!!!!
