Happy Fourth of July Week!

Cinderella's song....

Checking my regular blogs today, I got caught up on House in the Roses (http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/). What a gorgeous blog. The lovely owner of the site posted "A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes" from Cinderella (the movie). A reminder to us all, especially us "old ladies".

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Vocals: Ilene Woods (Cinderella)
Music: Mack David, Al Hoffman, Jerry Livingston
Lyrics: Mack David, Al Hoffman, Jerry Livingston
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cinderella sings this one:

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

Albert speaks....

"There are two ways of living one's life:
As if nothing is a miracle.
or - As if everything is a miracle.
I believe in the last one."
- Albert Einstein

Summertime - and the living is easy?!

Too hot for this old lady, but I do love the flowers of summer.

And, I still believe in fairies....

Zoe needs larger wings!

I found this...

Did you ever want to buy a town?

Well, there is little town in Texas....noticed the general store was for sale and that the other buildings on the main street were empty also. Project for retirement?

Happy Birthday, Willie!

I believe in fairies....

This is my great-granddaughter, Zoe, taken two years ago.

Another favorite "bluebonnet"

Made by my friend, Jill Spriggs.

It's Bluebonnet time in Texas - Yee Haw!!

I love Texas - and especially at this time of year when the wildflowers are beginning to color our landscape so vividly. My favorite is the Blubonnet - can you tell?

Happy Easter!

Stepping back in time....

Today, I am .....

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
