This is my very first tomato EVER!!!! I know many of you have done this many, many times, but this is very exciting for me. My first EVER!!!! I know I won't be setting up any produce stands but it looks like I will have a few more soon.I will watch it and take care of it carefully. I must say I am a little afraid that Bentley is going to eat it, if he does I may be listing him on Ebay!

So sweet
It is the sweet small things that can make my day, like finding a special treasure like Julie Whitmore's Pottery. My friend Carol posted a photo of her adorable new cup. When I saw it I knew I had to own a piece or 10! So, I signed on to Etsy and there they were waiting for me to click on the purchase button. The next thing I know the mailman was delivering my very first piece. I am enchanted with Julie's whimsical painting, each piece a delight. Another one is on ot;s way to my home now. I can't wait for her to post more!!!

Preparing for class
I am SOOO excited to take another wonderful class at Castle in the Air in Berkeley tomorrow with Ulla. Every trip to Castle is an inspiration, each new class is a exploration into new things . Tomorrow is a Santon reliquary class. Ulla always supplies interesting objects to work with but I am bringing a few of my own trinkets to play with as well. I can't wait to take some photos to show you all.

Tim 2.25.81
What a wonderful thing a photo is. You can look at it and really feel a closeness to that missing someone. You can almost feel you can touch them, almost pretend you can hear thier voice, imagine what they might say to you or better yet hear them laugh. You can almost pretend you are seeing them. Some time it is easier to pretend he's just away,even though I know better. It is nice to be able to hope he will walk thru the door. I look at his picture and I can only imagine what a beautiful angel he has become. Happy Birthday my sweet boy.
I love you,
Mom
I love you,
Mom

New Years "reflections"
Last night we watched the movie The Pursuit of Happiness, with Will Smith. As we watch this very sad but real movie, I looked over to notice Bentley laying on his end of the couch wrapped in my Pottery Barn blanket cozy, safe and warm and I thought of all the people that are living on the streets or losing their homes with no where to go. I sat back and thought of my many blessings in life and said a prayer for those who are lonely, cold and hungry. I have made a promise to myself to try to be less wasteful and more aware of the things I take for granted. I don't call what I do "New Year Resolutions", I call them "New Year Beginings" a fresh new start. My New year wish for you all...Warm homes, a roof over your head, food in your tummy and someone to love. Happy New Year......
