Night at the Fair

I am thinking about 
blowing these pictures up I took last year at the fair 

and hanging them somewhere in my house....another wish to add to the list!

Saw this one in a kitchen in Veranda this month and it reminded me!

RED CRANES

I had to copy this post from PVE Design - I think it is such a beautiful gesture and so eloquently written.....

"Japanese legend has it that 1000 red cranes will bring kindness to those who have endured harm or injury. The red crane is a symbol of longevity and nobility. "

"Let's all join together and fold red origami cranes. My heart aches for all the people of Japan.

Perhaps one small act of kindness, folding cranes will bring about good wishes and comfort during this time."

My  thoughts and prayers go out to the Japanese people

Children Should Be Seen and Not Heard

I have decided my grandmother was right!  

After an exhausting dinner with a can't sit still four year old and  an exhausted one year old 
 I have decided I am going to take a five year break from taking my children out to dinner.

 The people around me last night will be thrilled!

This was my four year old last night....
