Life...Family...And Pretty Butterflies!


       Hello! :-) See my smiley face? --> :-) I'm feeling better. A lot better! I haven't coughed for hours! My nostrils are staying clear...except for just after I wake up. And my head is thinking up all kinds of pretty things to make today! :-)
       That's probably why this pretty craft tape from the Etsy shop lillalotta caught my eye. Talk about PRETTY!! :-)


      Oh, if only I could figure out how to get some of it onto my crochet flowers!! ^_^ Ha! Even I'm not that talented!! LOL So I guess I'll just admire it from afar. :-)

      I really don't have anything to talk about today, so this post will be a kind of 'stream of consciousness' ramble..Starting with the fact that I was contacted by my biological father's family recently. I don't know why I'm even talking about it because it's such a confusing situation for me.
      My biological father died a long time ago now. I never knew him. It does my heart good though, to get updates about how everybody is doing. I also must admit that it feels kind of disconnected somehow too though. I mean, I'm a sister, but not really...I have nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles...but not exactly. O_O 
      It almost seems like a book I read somewhere! LOL A father I never met before he died, a step-mom who I don't really know, and who seems wary of me. Sisters and brothers that I never converse with...but somehow we're all related! ^_^ ...Add to that the other sisters and brothers who I sometime wish I didn't want to converse with, and you have the whole story of moi!...family-wise I mean.
      It's not the 'whole' story of moi...because you'd have to add a whole lot of Jehovah God, some wonderful friends, a trick hip and some arthritis (Grrr!), some Russell Stovers chocolates, a six-foot husband, some crochet hooks, boutonniere flowers and pretty yarn...to get the whole story of 'MOI'!! LOL
      I've talked about my family situation on earlier blog posts anyway, so I won't get too into again, but if you have any ideas about how to navigate this kind of relationship, without stepping on spiritual and emotional toes, give a girl (me) a clue, will ya! ^_^
      For now...I'm off to get some breakfast, and ponder life...and butterflies. :-) You can join me if you like! ...Have a good day, Everybody! :-)

My Favorite People

My favorite people listen well,
and talk almost as good.
They like to eat good food,
and hang out in my neighborhood.

They like a chuckle now and then,
and dance when music's played.
And give nice complements...
and no! they haven't all been paid!

Some 'favorite people' are, I'm sure,
still ones I haven't met.
But until then, my favorites are
ones owed a 'loving' debt.

They've loved me through some heartache,
and the hardest, roughest time.
They're my favorites for a reason,
and deserve this 'Wuggie' rhyme.

  1. So glad you're feeling better! :)
    I love that tape too, but can't figure out what I'd do with it either. Dilemmas!!
    As for your family situation....hmmmm....I thought I had a crazy mixed up family!!! I know what you mean about having brothers and sisters (sort of) that you don't know and probably never will.
    Hope all will work out for you anyway.
    Have a great day and a great meeting tonight (if yours is tonight...ours is)
    :D

    1. Thank you, Bead...Yep, feeling lots better than I was before. :-] And about the family situation, uhhhhh....yeah! Mixed up. Crazy? That is 'Families-R-Us'!!! LOL I'm hoping it all works out eventually too. I'm not gonna hold my breath though. There's apparently a lot of water under that bridge. Most of it flowed long before I was even born!! ^_^ Have a good rest of the day! We have the Assemly this weekend, so no meeting tonight...technically that is. I'm gonna find one somewhere!! LOL
