“On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes

“On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation.” —Thomas William Parsons

In the midst of the backyard barbecues this weekend, we’d do well to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. It isn’t one of celebration, rather a solemn day of remembrance in honor of those who were willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom.

One of my favorite things about Instagram has been

One of my favorite things about Instagram has been the online friendships that become in-person friendships. My most recent insta-to-in-person was meeting Shelley, who owns @cooperstreasurechest.

We’ve been insta-talking for probably a year-and-a-half, which is when her adorable shop in Harbor Bay Plaza opened. I finally made it in to meet her this weekend, and within all of 10 seconds, I felt like we’d been friends for years.😁

It was a much-needed reminder that there are a lot of good people in the world. We just have to look around and find them. They may even be as close as your Instagram feed.😉

If you’re looking for clothing, educational toys, or other goodies for the little ones, (or even a little something special for yourself!) do yourself a favor and stop by ASAP—and be sure to tell her I said hi!

I had a lot of crushes growing up. Donny Osmond, Davy Jones, David Cassidy...

And BJ Thomas.

He knew how to sing a love song. And a somebody-done-somebody-wrong song.

Just ask my Aunt Mary, who followed him to about 10 concerts—sometimes with her mother (my grandmother!) in tow. Even has the photos to prove it (swipe right!)😉

I’m glad he lived in the days of albums, cassettes, cds, and digital music. That way his music can serenade me for years to come. I’m glad that with each song, I’ll relive a host of memories that remain attached to the words he sang. And I’m glad I’ll always remember him.

Oh, to order a cake for your graduate’s big day

Oh, to order a cake for your graduate’s big day and find this scribbled on top of the cake. Apparently, it’s the handiwork of a Walmart bakery in Lexington, KY.
.
It reminded me of the first time I stumbled onto the CakeWrecks.com website—a place where lovers of grammar, spelling, punctuation and the like can spend hours cringing at some of the worst cake fails in the history of mankind.
.
It also reminded me that this is why we can’t have nice things.🙄😂🎂🖍

“We were bathed in a heavenly light that appeare

“We were bathed in a heavenly light that appeared to come directly from her hands. The light's reality cut into our hearts and our souls, and we knew somehow that this light was God, and we could see ourselves embraced in it.

By an interior impulse of grace we fell to our knees, repeating in our hearts: "Oh, Holy Trinity, we adore You. My God, my God, I love You in the Blessed Sacrament.””

—Lucia, age 10, describes the first apparition of Our Lady, who appeared to her and her cousins Francisco, age nine, and Jacinta, age seven, on May 13, 1917.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

These two grand babies. They wasted no time at all in stealing my heart. (AKA from the moment of birth and before!).

So thankful I can watch them grow.💗💙
