But I did clean houses for awhile and, man oh man...did I see some stuff! It's amazing what kind of messes people make when they know that someone else has to clean it for them.

And I really pray one day you will put all your beauty into a book that it deserves to be in, if not, ~ at least start selling your work.<br />You make me ashamed that I don't get out daily to lay down in the splendor of nature to catch those glimpses of beauty as you do. But that is why you are here, and we thank you. I thank you. And I hope to buy your book one day. Your sunflower is quite a hit! Though to me, it reminds me of a shy child slowly and shyly lifting his fingers in a morning wave. But I'm weird like that;) ~ MLMary Lou Wynegarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437350429956612717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-60638165016730176662011-07-27T21:24:10.554-05:002011-07-27T21:24:10.554-05:00I didn't know which post to comment on -- I...I didn't know which post to comment on -- I've been MIA so long I've been catching up on a lot. The old people jumping, the children, that sweet girl crying -- I wanted to write lovely notes on all. I picked this because it was near the top, I can relate personally to the clean the boys house thing and also anything with sunflowers gets me where I live!<br /><br />Stressful summer in ways you can't imagine. I'll probably be more likely to lurk than comment, but I hope to do both. I'm preposted, so keep stopping by! Miss you!
