That brings tears to my eyes. Children do understand. My children have hugged me before when they were little, understanding my weariness, and reassured me. I just love Allie's way of expressing her understanding. She really did understand... Lynn Oh, Louise!! That brings tears to my eyes. Children do understand.

I just love Allie’s way of expressing her understanding. She really did understand…

And she wasn’t talking about physically fallen she understood the proverb and its meaning. My heart ached, I put my arms around her and told her that I would hold on to her so she would not fall again… Lynn,

What a lovely post and beautiful pictures…

I had this proverb on my desk years back; it was a tough spot in our life …
Allie was maybe 8 or 9 at the time and read the proverb and looked at me with
a very thoughtful face and said “I have fallen so many times mommy my knees hurt”.
And she wasn’t talking about physically fallen she understood the proverb and its meaning.
My heart ached, I put my arms around her and told her that I would hold on to her
so she would not fall again…

I love reading all of your posts too. Mary, thank you. Where would any of us be without thankfulness, eh? Yes, after your trip and when things cool off and I have settled into a routine here with Joseph, I would love to meet for a trip to SuzAnna's and lunch! Amber, yaaaay!! I'm sorry for the outer wrapping being such as wrinkled bunch of tape. ;) It would seem I am always running from one thing to another. Happy doll house adventures!!

Your love of Nature and the simple things that make us thankful are lovely. So just keep on doing what you are doing, please - words and pictures of your world. I'm glad you may like to get together later this year. I'll be in France almost a month, perhaps we'll plan something after that. Do you know about the Oxford Heritage Day this Saturday? It sounds like fun and we may take a ride over if the weather is fine. My antiques shop gals (from SuzAnna's) will have a booth there. Let me know if you need more info. Warm wishes - Mary.
