Tuesday's Tips

Pin It

How many of you are superstitious?  Here are some tips to keep evil and doom away!

• Rosemary planted by the doorstep will keep evil away....put salt on the doorstep of a new house and no evil can enter.

• Stabbing needles through yarn balls will bring bad luck to anyone who wears something made from that yarn.

• Stir bread away from you for good luck, trouble will come if you stir toward you.

• When making the bed, don't interrupt your work or you will spend a restless night in it.

• Before a young girl makes her first load of bread, her hands should be rubbed in sugar so that she may always make good, sweet bread.

Sarah

Pin It I can learn alot from Sarah.  Patience, acceptance, peace, calm.  She wanders through her days accepting the differences between her culture and ours with patience.  She has a sense of peace and calm that quietly surrounds her.  I understand why my son cares for her so deeply.  It was a joy getting to know her better these last few days and I look forward to many more visits with her and Lucas.

I have taken them back.  It was a four hour drive each way and while the car was filled with much conversation there, it was a lonely drive back without them.  Thank goodness for books on CD!

The rhythm of my day, still currently staying with my Mother, resumes once again to normal. The house has become quiet and now it will take a few days to reacquaint ourselves with the silence.

Watching these two young adults stumble through the learning curves of living on their own is both painful and bursts the heart with pride.  Who ever said parenting would end when the nest was empty?  It is so far from the truth.

Taking them back......

Pin It Sadly to say, I am on the road today, making the four hour trip to take Luke and Sarah back.  It is a weepy day for me but will spend tonight at their apartment before heading back to my Mothers.

Have a great day everyone and remember to give your loved ones a hug!
