The Gift

Once upon a recent Spring







A lovely, GIFTED Teacher



Suggested that we meet



For a cup of  tea or two










That day, on blessed Rabbit Hill







The Angels Smiled and Graced Us






With the Priceless GIFT of Friendship

The Start of Something NEW








A newly found Soul Sister


A Sparkling Precious Gem







A Sacred Bond was forming


With this Most Special FRIEND





A heart of gold that knows no limits

A smile that could light up the world

Eyes full of hope and sweet compassion


The GIFT of seeing GOOD IN ALL






KINDNESS  is her mantra.







Is her creed.




Her talents are exceptional....

So many GIFTS.. she's blessed indeed.





































Like FAIRY DUST enchanting all






She sprinkles MAGIC, WHIMSY , JOY




Inspiring others is her GIFT

To every grown-up, girl, and boy...







Have you yet guessed of whom I speak?





This SWEET and GENTLE, NOBLE soul










.
The GIFT that is her precious FRIENDSHIP

Has made MY world more WHOLE



I am so HONORED and BLESSED to call this BRILLIANT

Lovely Henrietta

This is my beautiful maternal Grandmother Henrietta...








She strikes a Glamorous pose, doesn't she?
My angelic Grandfather stands behind her.
This weekend, Henrietta would have celebrated her 84th Birthday.
One of the strongest women I have ever known, she was generous, willful, FEARLESS.











She lived without regrets, and with the utmost JOIE DE VIVRE!


As a little girl, I remember our trips to the Black Sea beaches...






We collected tiny pink seashells.
They had to be tiny, and they HAD to be pink!
Nothing else would do, for they were rare and oh so beautiful...




Her apple strudel was legendary.



As was her infectious laughter! 






She LOVED to dance...









She LOVED to play...










She loved LIFE!








She gave so much. In her last few years, she volunteered tirelessly at inner city schools...


helping children READ.








I miss her every day...


but Love and Memories live FOREVER.








Thank you for letting me share my memories of one of the great women who helped make me who I am.


A beautiful week to all...
