I went to Stacey’s to see if they had anything I could use for the wedding. The stores are closing so I got the name and number of the owner to see if I we can negotiate a better pricing if we buy in quantity.
On a separate note, Nancy called me to tell me that Abby, Camille and Paige are finalists in the Chick Fil’A competition. So congrats girls! Look forward to the finals!
Thought of the day:
“Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren’t just waiting: women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and our granddaughters, today we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters now the sky is the limit. Anything is possible for them.
(Nancy Pelosi, in her first speech to Congress
after her election as the first woman Speaker of the House)
I would like to add to this thought the following:
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting,
poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
(John Adams, Founding Father and Second President of the United States)
How often we take for granted that which we have been gifted by those who came before. I hope I always have present the sacrifices others made so that today I can sing and make music or sit and write or simply be, whatever I decide that is…

It was lesson day. All the girls are sounding pretty good if I may say so. Gave some creative thought to the usage of the flowers for the wedding and have been reflecting more about the date.
Matt called the owner of Stacey’s and we are meeting with him in one of the stores on Friday.
Thought of the day:
“Happiness is like the penny candy of our youth:
We got a lot more for our money back when we had no money.
(Mignon McLaughlin, Writer)
I will interpret this as talking about simpler things. And, yes, as time goes by, I guess we all let ourselves want more and better. There is something, though, to be said for that which is earned with hard work and also for enjoying the simpler but really special moments in life. There is some stuff no money can buy…and when you are with the one you love, those are the most important treasures. They live forever and can make us smile with such warmth in the heart…Those are the moments that pull us through the darkness and make us realized the happiness we are gifted with every day.

Matt and I went to Stacey’s. We got a decent deal and bought some beautiful flowers that we will be using for the wedding. Matt gifted them to me for Valentine’s which make them even more special. The creative juices are flowing…
We’ve gone back on a low crab diet. We started last Monday. So tonight, my dear grumpy Matt said:
“See that tear going down my face, is the last drop of sugar left in me.”
Yes, I love how me makes me laugh. We laugh SO MUCH together! The things that his mind comes up with you will never hear anywhere else!
Thought of the day:
“Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can’t figure out what from.”
(Mae West, Actor and Writer)
What do you think?
I am not sure what to think about this. Maybe it refers to the intrinsic female archetype; where the strong confuse soft with weak.
