moments and memories

Just remember the most precious lasting memories are often in the small stolen moments
not in the big long planned spans of time.
I wrote these words as a comment today on another blog and thought to myself, "Wow, sometimes my thoughts come out sounding very deep when I just let my words happen without much pre-planning ." And so I am sharing these words/thoughts on my blog with one of my favorite photos.
I also wrote in that same comment box about how when the air gets crisp in the mornings of the Fall, I long for the little cabin in Northern Michigan where we went for a week's rental for many years to see the colored leaves, until we needed to allocate our money to kids---- and things like allowance money and ..... food and clothing and dental payments!!!!
*Snap back from the escape of the quiet woods to reality of everyday responsibilities!*
I often find myself saying that I wish I could stop being a grown up and go back to being just someone's daughter, having my homework be my most harsh responsibility!!!

( I regret to say I cannot credit this photo as it was in one of those mass forwarded emails we all get.

I snagged it to enjoy the beauty and wonder of the image. )

Hi Amy,I am catching up on your blog this morning. I love your quote. There is much truth in it. To commment on your post"input requested". I love when owners have music on their blogs. I find that it enhances the post very much.I carry through with quite a few post on mine. It is good when one is catching up as I am today on yours. I do worry about those you don't have high speed as to if it is taking them to long to load . My dear mom is still on dial up and she said the wait isn't that long.Your posies are so sweet and what a neat idea to make them into cupcakes. Very cute....
Have a wonderful weekend...much blessings
