When you finally go back to your old hometown, 

you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood.

-Sam Ewing

Eating popcorn and peaches for Sunday evening meals is a childhood memory of mine.   Now today, we indulge in this combo every once in a while.   When we do eat it, its for a snack rather than a meal.

Your talent is God's gift to you. 

 What you do with it is your gift back to God.

-Leo Buscaglia

My lovely cooperative boys and I.  Motherhood is my talent.  These boys were given to me by God to love and nurture to the best of my abilities.

A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.

-Pioneer Girls Leaders Handbook

Here is my lovely friend Anna.  

She's a great friend to have.  

When my heart is sighing, 

 and she laughs,

my heart sings.

I say something once,

she remembers that once.

She sings.

I love her singing.

It's from the heart.

She randomly chuckles.

I love those random chuckles.

She loves.

She loves many with all her heart.

She listens.

She listens from beginning to end with no interruptions.

I love this friend.

She's the best kind of friend a person can have.

 Head over to Maaret, who's another wonderful friend.

-Ed Cunningham

My hubby is a great listener.  He wants to hear what I have to say, good bad and otherwise.  A great place to ask and listen is out in the mountains where it's just the two of you.  It's so quiet you here everything that's spoken.  Which might be a rare thing, with a busy household of children.
