Then my birthday and a planter bowl with petunias for the porch arrived! Then a basket filled with flowers and fresh eggs...then some big gorgeous pink day lilies that smelled of heaven!...then a smaller day lily- ivory with purple tint edges...then a beautiful pink rose corsage (a tradition that our youngest son always sends)...then 2 dozen yellow roses tinged with rose! Breathtaking!!
I took some pictures for you to see! They are much more lovely in real life but I wanted you to see the bounty!! So I gathered them and put them on the table just for you!
I hope you get the feel of how beautiful it all was...Plus I got phone calls and cards and love notes and it was just love wafting through the air and I was breathing deep. I hope your day was terrific also!

The Temple session on Saturday was beautiful. It was in Spanish which I was not prepared for. They had headsets but I opted to read what was shown on the wall. That was such a nice experience! I was blessed with peace, calm, reassurance, renewed faith & hope & confidence. I feel so wonderful within. The feeling like you went on a trip somewhere-- so relaxing and peaceful-- that you just soaked it up and cherished the experience and then relive and recapture that feeling when you get home. Oh, yes...I'm a fan of Temples....re-wording...a fan of Temple attendance.

My Laurel girls are talented in their own individual ways. Sophie, is really into drama (so you know I'm a fan already!). She is Mary Poppins in the high-school production of the same name. I went opening night and found myself teary at the end.
It was such a fantastic production on all levels...costumes & choreography & singing and all those awesome things...plus it was a huge cast and they were all so on cue and marvelous. But Sophie stole the show. She became Mary Poppins!!
I was so happy for her and hearing her beautiful voice and seeing her dance and be so in character every minute and dressed to the nines- I just got verklempt, with tears streaming down my round cheeks, as I jumped to my feet for a standing ovation.
Her Mother, who knows I detest having my picture taken/posted, reassured me it was private and she wouldn't FB it. I actually like this picture because I remember the tears and the love I have for this young woman and how happy I am for her!! this captured a bit of my heart!

Verklempt - choked with emotion (German verklemmt = emotionally inhibited in a convulsive way)
This is not FAKE Yiddish - unless you are one of the linguists who consider Yiddish a "fake", i.e. non-transformational language.

OY, vey. When that schmuck of a doctor told me I had cancer I got all verklempt.
