I'm back....

Hurray, hurray...back to the nest at last! Actually though, I am here a bit earlier than in years past, which is a very good thing.
Yesterday was a special time...my niece Joanna's bridal shower - a beautiful occasion for a beautiful person.
Today I am looking forward to learning something new and interesting at a class at Colorful Creations in Hyannis. The guest artist/teacher is Ted J. Mullett, who designs some absolutely wonderful nature themed stamps, of which I have many!
The weather is warming and brightening, a welcome change after such a cool, dreary spring. I plan to do some much needed gardening this week and get back on track with creative endeavors. Oh yes...and the beach beckons to me...so many more footprints to be made in the sand!

Please come again...

To any who have visited here recently, I apologize for my absence of late. The winter blahs seem to have gotten the best of me, and I am struggling to pull myself up & out. June now within sight, I anxiously await my arrival on the Cape for the summer months...and with my move, so, too, my spirits should lift and take flight. I look forward to spending time at the Nest, and hope you will find me home when you visit again.

Who is Jesus?

On this Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, the most important question we can ask is "Who is Jesus?"

In his famous book Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis makes this statement, "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us."

Happy Birthday, John Mike!!

Well, another day, another birthday. No, it's not quite that ordinary. Today, St. Patrick's Day, is my brother John's 50th birthday. I share this ATC I made using an old photo of him basking in the glow of the candles on his 3rd (I think) birthday cake...made by me! My favorite thing about this photo is the wonderful look of wonder and glee on his face...he just couldn't wait for his birthday to come! I love you, John...Happy Birthday, brother!!!

Happy Birthday, Joey!

Before any more time passes today, I want to post a special message....HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY BROTHER!!!! Joe being the youngest of the six of us, and me being the oldest (with 15 years between us), I guess I will always remember Joey as the baby brother I often looked after and cared for. Having been born on a leap day, there's always the question of when to celebrate in the off years - on Feb. 28 or March 1. This year I choose March 1...hope you have a happy one Joe!!!

Happy Birthday, Tina!

Today is my dear sister's birthday. I won't tell her age...because to me she is still the little sister I grew up with, played with, and, I must admit, fought with (all in love, of course!).

Happy Birthday, Tina...I love you!
