Once upon a time....

.... there was a day when my children looked pretty spiffy when we went to church.  Today Wendy wore a white bow with an off white dress.  (Gasp!)  Rachel wore two left shoes that were 3 sizes too big.  One black and one white.  It wasn't a battle I was willing to fight this morning.  She thought she looked beautiful.

.... I had only myself as my own blog follower.  Now I have 12 new followers (so far).  It makes me very happy to open my Blogger Dashboard and see that.

.... I had a beautiful garden.  The deer and possum seem to think it's beautiful and delicious too.  All my tomatoes are gone.  Very very sad.  At least the deer can't eat my blog followers.
