Simple Pleasures This Week

I want to thank all my newest followers and readers. Welcome to my blog of simple things. I hope you will find something you can comment on so I can get to know you better. I go back and find your blogs and read them too!

This lap blanket will be finished today or tomorrow. I'm pleased with how it's turning out.

This is my latest book. It is easy to read and later I discovered that it is actually a child's book and comes with illustrations in the child's version. Interestingly, the author is described in one site as a pre-J.K. Rowlings kind of author and this book was somewhat of a departure for her. It's a delightful book. You can learn more by checking amazon.com. The book is called "The Star of Kazan". I'm still working on "Paris 1919" as I set it aside for awhile. Both books are good reads.

What are your simple pleasures this week?

I Love

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. 

- George Sand - 

It's a great thing to be able to love and to be loved. Whether it is your family, your friends, your special loved one or people you don't even know, like the widows and orphans in a far away place.

I didn't bake these but aren't they pretty? I had to share some with my family.

~ MAGIC OF LOVE ~

by Helen Steiner Rice (Poet)

"Love is like Magic and it always will be,

For Love still remains Life’s Sweet Mystery!

Love works in ways that are wondrous and strange

And there’s Nothing in Life that Love cannot change!

Love can transform the most common place

Into beauty and splendor and sweetness and grace!

Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,

For it sees with its Heart and not with its Mind

Love gives and forgives, there is nothing too much

For Love to heal with its Magic Touch!

Love is the language that every heart speaks,

For Love is the one thing that every heart seeks!

Did you know
that
God is Love.

1 John 4:8

HAVE YOURSELF A WONDERFUL VALENTINE'S DAY. 
IF YOU ARE ALONE, SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH A STRANGER BY DOING 
A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS.
IT WILL FILL YOUR HEART WITH LOVE.

IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS SPECIAL IN YOUR LIFE
DON'T FORGET TO LET THEM KNOW.
