Today, my blog is officially a year old.
A couple of random stories to start the new year...
There is a way cool place in Varina called "My Back Porch". Donna has a varied assortment of clothes, pocketbooks, shoes and generally cool stuff. [If you don't know me, I rarely buy new clothes. I am a Goodwill girl, which drives Wendy absolutely crazy. My Back Porch is a consignment store. On another note, if you live in Fuquay and wear a 9.5 shoe, take them here when you are finished with them please.] I was looking around a few weeks ago and Donna from Flowers on Broad Street was also in there. We were talking and she finally placed me.. I have always ordered flowers for Dad for Valentines Day for church from her. A huge spray of just tulips that remind me that spring comes.
Well I missed last year, and I also missed this year. When she saw me, I told her that I just couldn't do it this year. I would be able soon, but not this year. She said I should have let her know.. She would have done it for me until I could do it. I will be doing flowers for Mom on May 2nd. This is right after Relay for Life and .. you know.. I need to remember that spring comes. [And even if I don't remember, my friends will drag me into the warm and light and beauty.]
Second story is I have been taking yoga. [Not sure of the verb.. Practicing?] When I was being still, I had a thought of how funny and proud Mom would have been for me taking this. She always would yell at me for not taking care of myself.
