Susan branch blotter calendar12/27/2023 ![]() You should probably get a cup of tea or something cold to drink. I thought it would be good, but I didn’t know it would be this good! So here we go, let’s start off with some inspiration! Mas Musica? Frank? Oui! ♥ What the Internet has brought has surpassed my wildest dreams. So, to celebrate all of this and all of us, we are having not One, not even Two, but Three Give-aways in this blog post, and this contest is open to everyone everywhere on the planet! If someone in a faraway land is chosen in this drawing, we will mail their package to wherever they would like it to go. Imagine all the people, living life in peace ~ You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. They like picnics and the sounds of nature and going barefoot, and we do too! They like starry nights and big moons and us too! It’s an amazingly wonderful beautiful world. They like gorgeous blue tablecloths ~ we like gorgeous blue tablecloths. Let’s pray for them, and then give them this place, and each other, to meet and celebrate the little things that make life sweet ~ and especially, all the ways we are so very much alike. You would probably feel trapped and worried about your children all the time. It must be scary to live in a land where the maniacs have the keys to the castle. And we need to band together in our appreciation for beauty and a gentle way of life. No matter how different we may look from each other on the outside. But there are many more of our kind of person in this world than of the obnoxious ones. You just don’t hear that much from them because the other kind are so obnoxious and loud. The letters were so nice, so full of love, I always thought it would cheer people up to know that despite what we see and hear on the news, the world is filled with wonderful home-loving, creative, family-adoring people, in all countries, all parts of the world, and even in countries where we might think our “enemies” live.Įven there, the cities and towns are filled with regular tea-drinking, flower-growing, music-loving, tender-hearted, soup-making, peace-loving kinds of people just like you and me. ♥Īs m any of you know, it has been my dream for years, way before there was any such thing as a blog or even the Internet, that the people who’ve written me such wonderful personal letters (since 1987 when my first book came out and I started getting mail), could meet each other. So how do we celebrate? Easy: By saying “Thank You” to everyone who helps to make this dream come true. Such a creative way to connect with kindred spirits. I just wish there were more hours in the day for blogging. I loved it so much, we’ll definitely do it again (yes we will!). Traveling to England together put the frosting on the cake. Saying to yourself as you are writing a post or putting something up on Facebook, “I hope they like this!” then letting the chips fall where they may! Scary! And first time you’re “liked!” Or, then, to be “shared!” How wonderful it is to get your first comment! How amazing to have your first give-away! And that excitement and amazement really hasn’t gone away. I knew how I wished it would go and tried my best to make it something everyone would like, hoping everyone liked dishtowels, dishes, and old movies as much as me! Any of you with a blog knows exactly what I’m talking about. ![]() Three years ago, when I first started blogging I had NO idea how it would go ~ “going live” was so scary! I wondered how people would find me, and if they would even come. The Beauty Bush and the Mock Orange are in bloom (to name just two), I picked my first four strawberries today and look at the foxgloves! I’ll tell you one thing, it smells like heaven here on the island. Maybe we were inspired because it’s such a pretty month. Two years later, on June 9, 2011, the Blog went live (still quiver when I think about it) and our connection to our Girlfriends began! That’s pretty good! But it makes me wonder, why June? I didn’t plan it that way, in fact I was kind of surprised to see how close the dates were. ![]() Today is the day we’re going to begin our June celebration for two wonderful events ~ It was Jthat we started connecting with our wonderful Friends on Facebook.
