Weekend Happenings

                                                 "The Mystic Mind"

It was a nice day out yesterday so my sister and I decided to get out and do a bit of shopping. The first place we ventured into was a cool shop called, "The Mystic Mind" ...

They sell an assortment of really unique items including these awesome scented soy candles!
 

Totem animals.

Jewelry such as these tarot card earrings and matching necklace. These are "The Star" and I also bought "The Moon" earrings as well.

These cute black cats!

A Pink Opal Mermaid and Rose Quartz Apple!

And a beautiful Mermaid Tarot Deck on sale!

Astrology earrings (studs) - My sign (Pisces) and my husbands sign of Sagittarius.

Another spot which we like to frequent is "The Mint Leaf" where I found these items ...

We stopped off at our local "Barnes & Noble Bookstore" and I could not resist this black cat cell phone holder! ...

While going through some old pics of my mom and dad this past week, I found these two and placed them in one of my mermaid lockets ...

We had lunch at "Applebees" ...

And last, but not least, Punxsutawney Phil's winter prediction. The drum roll, please! ...

Family Night

Last night, we treated the cats to a Cat TV movie night via our v-See box. "DID SOMEONE SAY, "CAT TV?" ...

Butterscotch and Teddy were the first to get into the spirit! ...

It did not take long for Charlie to join in! ...

Earlier yesterday, I bought a pair of red and black plaid slip on sneakers at "Plato's Closet" whilst out and about running some errands ... very comfy!

Food for Thought Friday

 

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for a while and give us a deeper understanding of what is truly important in this life. They touch our souls. We gain strength from the footprints they have left on our hearts and we will never be the same.

Happy Friday, friends! Just this morning while talking to a long-time good friend of mine, I was reminded of something very important. I have always believed that God puts people in our lives for a reason; hence, I have never believed in coincidence. My friend said to me, "I wish I would've met you earlier in life. I'm sure my life would have been very different."

After giving it further thought, it occurred to me that although she may have been right, she and I met one another at exactly the time we were meant to do so at the time in our lives we were supposed to. I have had many "friends" in my life that had come and gone and each and every one of them has remained in my heart. Why? Because they have taught me something about myself and life which I needed to learn. 

To this day, I have three close friendships which I cherish and consider them as close to "family" as you could get. After all, I have learned that blood does not always equal family. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Heavenly 92nd Birthday, Daddy!

 

Today would have been my beloved dad's 92nd Birthday. My God, has it been 10 years already since we lost you? Not that it makes much of a difference as there in not a day goes by that I do not think of him! 

I know that my dad has been my Guardian Angel sent to me from the Lord above and he is still watching over me each and every day. One example is today (on his birthday!) I received news from my doctor that my mammogram was benign. My mother had breast cancer and had to have a partial mastectomy (they detected it early!) and every time I have one performed I get scared as her gynecologist told her to let me know that I am now at a high risk as well. Thank you, Dad!

My Dad's High School yearbook pic.

An Army pic of him when he was stationed in Germany during the Korean War. Notice the camera around his neck. He took LOTS and LOTS of photos!

At my cousin's wedding reception held at The Wernersville VFW circa 1984.

Dad's Retirement Party back in 1994.

Taken in the backyard of our house at my wedding reception in September of 2001.

Some pics taken on Christmas Day 2014 - two months before he came home to pass away.

The only real comfort I have these days is knowing that my dad is now reunited with my mom as of last April 1st (the day after the Easter holiday) ...
