Or-ee-gone

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
― Fred Rogers

“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

My Oregon girls are pulling at my heart this morning, including my grandcats who love to wake me with a morning cuddle when I am visiting. I am missing them and the gorgeous flowers, but I am looking forward to the fall when I can once again dance through the leaves and give my girls, and one very tall boy, a big squeeze.

A note for those who might be new to my blog. For starters, welcome, I am honored by your readership. One of my friends (since 2nd grade), Patricia (in photo), moved to the same Oregon area as my daughter Sammi, who moved to Oregon a few years ago to attend the University of Oregon. Go Ducks! She graduated with a degree in art and technology and is a busy artist and graphic designer. She and her (tall) boyfriend recently purchased their first home and are busy settling in and getting the guest room ready for me. I am hoping that I will be able to help her plant the tulip bulbs I ordered from Holland, that should be arriving about the same time I do. Thank you for joining me for a forever friend and mom moment. Michele
