I gotta admit, there are days when it feels like h-e-l-l and days when I feel so loved and embraced by the world, that I just sit here in awe. In high school we used to say "H-E double hockey sticks." We were being raised to be proper young ladies. Then the 60s and 70s happened (to me at least!)
The other day (the day after one from hell) I had friends give me a memory mug.
We drive somewhere within 50 miles and spend the day looking around at stores if it's a town, or sites and maybe waterfalls, find somewhere to either purchase lunch or bring a picnic, and take a selfie! So Teresa and Helen put this collection of selfies together for me to take with me when I move...if I move.
Yep, the question of moving gives me high blood pressure when dealing with the iffy situations that come up. My sons are totally supportive of my desire to live where I can breathe better, hopefully a drier climate.
Yes, I cried when they gave the mug to me the other day over coffee. What sweet people I have as friends!
Sharing with Tuesday's Treasures!
I even updated my blogger portrait photo!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteYour friends will miss you, the mug is cute. I like all the selfies.
Beautiful view and sky photo. Peace is the only way!
Take care, enjoy your day!
I'll certainly miss them too. I'm talking with them daily, which I'll continue thanks to texting and phones. But our adventures will soon be separate from each other.
Delete...friend are true treasures!
ReplyDeleteThe friends I've made here are really wonderful people.
DeleteWhat a wonderful, personal touch.
ReplyDeleteWe take these silly selfies, completely unexpecting that they will pop up somewhere again. Then boom, here they all are, with all our imperfections, just enjoying each other's company again.
DeleteHow lovely, so you can take them with you. You'll all miss each other, such good friends to have.
ReplyDeleteI get teary eyed just looking at the mug, remembering the events of each photo. After leaving the pottery studio where I worked diligently for 12 years, these adventures (day trips) have been the highpoints of my life.
DeleteThere could hardly have been a more thoughtful and loving gift.
DeleteThey sure knew how to get to me, my friends know me pretty darn well by now!
DeleteI haven't been commenting on blogs for a while, but I read them every morning. I just had to say that mug is one of the most beautiful gifts of the heart. (NewRobin13)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you're out there reading blogs Robin. I miss hearing from you, and am happy to have your comment today. My heart is doubly full now!
DeleteWhat a sweet gift from your friends.
ReplyDeleteThey are the greatest!!
DeleteWhat a thoughtful gift. I'm feeling I must have missed something. So you'll be moving far away?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to move closer to my son in Colorado, as well as where there's a dry climate to help my breathing.
DeleteA very special gift and one to be used regularly to remember those times.
ReplyDeleteI need another mug like ...you know. Because I not only made them (and only have one still that I kept) but purchased many originals from potters. But this is indeed very special. And they insisted that I use it.
DeleteWhat a lovely gift from your friends. A mug of memories!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what it is, and whenever I drink from it, I hope I don't tilt it over to look at the smiling faces and spill the coffee too much!
DeleteWhat a lovely gift! You have wonderful friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift! You have wonderful friends!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are really thoughtful sweet people. Nobody will ever replace them in my heart.
DeleteWhat a sweet gift! (I still say h-e-double hockey sticks).
ReplyDeleteOh cool! I have one granddaughter who also played hockey in high school. I'll bet she says it too!
DeleteWhat a special gift. Good friends indeed.
ReplyDeleteMoving would ve so stressful for ne. I have lived in this for 50 years, and leaving it would be difficult, not because of stuff, but because of my gardens and my memories.
