acts of kindness
No kind action ever stops with itself.
One kind action leads
to another.
Good example is followed.
A single act of kindness throws
out roots in all directions,
and the roots spring up
and make new
trees.
The greatest work that kindness does to others
is that it makes
them kind themselves.
~Amelia Earhart~
I'm gonna get real sentimental here for just a moment or two.
One year ago, our friends, neighbors and community did THIS for us
when we were down and out after our flooded home destroyed our B&B business.
Tomorrow we are helping with a local fundraiser
to benefit Gary Keeton a guitar player
who occasionally plays with the Black Cat Choir.
He is battling throat cancer.

Doug, Jay, Johnny, Frank, Rob
Sam
The time has come for all of us to band together, lend a hand to help our neighbor.
We are tiny, yet mighty
The unbelievable sense of community, support and loyalty we have
here in Round Top, Texas,
Population 77
is unmeasurable.
Matt and I know this first hand.
Like my friend Chuck Sullivan said,

Like my friend Chuck Sullivan said,
pond be gone
after two years of Texas drought,
our frog pond went bone dry.
It had become such an eyesore,
that we decided to fill it in and maybe have a garden?
after much thought and truckloads of money, the filling begin
did we do the right thing?
get back with me in May when he mows every day.
Ask me again in August when the temps rise over 100 degrees, with no rain in months
looking back...

Sharing my Joy
My friend Meri hosts
and I am here to
JUMP AND SHOUT AND CELEBRATE
the fact that my son
please visit the above link
will be returning Stateside
in less than 30 days.
He has almost completed his second tour of duty as a Scuba Diver for The Army. He will return home to Virginia to his bride and my favorite daughter-in-law EVER, Rachel, along with his easy chair, remote and Sunday Football, Tug, Dixie and Emma ( my grand canines and feline)
I can not even begin to describe to you
how this Mommas heart is filled with joy.

I will soon be able to randomly call him on occasion for no reason at all, other than to hear his sweet voice, and feel his smile thru the phoneline. I will shift my natural maternal worries to the streets of Richmond instead of the deserts and dark rivers in Iraq. And if I want to I can book a flight to be in his mighty arms in only a few hours...to smell his skin and look deep into those eyes, and KNOW....
just what a mother needs to know.

Zydeco
~Zydeco Dancing~ "Because of the very lively music, the overall style is small sidewise
steps with relatively steady upper body and no hip swinging, wiggling or
jumping. There are exceptions to this rule, but feel of the zydeco is
very real and consistent. Zydeco dance can be described as the opposite
of swing or ballroom since the direction or feel of the dance is down,
not up like swing or ballroom."
Now with that being stated by Wikipedia, I broke some of the rules because I swung my hips just a bit, wiggled a plenty and jumped all about. The Zydeco music is so alive, fresh and upbeat that not one body part can remain still if you are in the same room...oh that squeeze box, washboard and rich voices that lure you onto the dancefloor for hours and hours in to the wee hours of midnight, which I normally do not experience, unless I am dancing!!
