to make them. This apron for all the apron

Mother's Day gift. I will be out of town today.

CARROTS, EGGS AND COFFEE
Something to think about in these uncertain times . . .
Carrots, Eggs & Coffee!
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee....You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.
In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me
what you see?'
'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting
through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? Think of this: Which am I?
Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest
do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes a long their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and
heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendships you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
If you don't send it, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message!
May we all be COFFEE!!!!!!!

Moonbeams Vintage
Welcome to 2nd Time Around hosted by Diane
A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words. I don't ever
join in this fun event sometimes I just don't
have anything cute to show. But today is the
day that I do have something that is a deal,
a steal and matches what I have just great.
A wonderful friend told me about Moonbeams
Vintage not far from her home.Oh me my
daughter-in-law and I went Saturday.The
cutest shop that I have visited in a long time.
Please visit Kelli blog Sassy Southern Mom
http://kelli1975.blogspot.com/ to see
the table that she bought for $7.00 it was on
sale 50%off. These are the 2 high back chairs
that I bought for $20 for the two. She was asking $12
but she sold them to me for $20. Your thinking
sounds good so far lets see what ya got...They match
my table and chairs that I painted black last summer.
I am showing one of the chairs that I already had.
They match perfect.Hope you enjoy 2nd Time Around.
Have A Great Day..

Around Town Carousels
Welcome to Blue Monday. Sally is our wonderful
host for this event. A little about my hometown.
Several years ago Sela Ward opened a home for
children here where artist throughout MS has
donated their time to design these carousel
horses.Once they are designed they are sold
to businesses in our local area.They are very
unique and each and everyone of them has such
character.
A little bit about my hometown..
Have A Great Blue Monday.
Cities worldwide are bringing art (and animals) to the people with wildly popular painted pigs, cows, fish and moose. They are stampeding and swimming through the streets from New York to New Orleans in the form of fanciful public art. And they are bringing business with them.
The brightly painted, life-sized sculptures are gaining popularity across the globe, proving that everyone can appreciate art-especially when it's painted across a beguiling animal. Public art is also pumping millions of tourists and dollars into the cities that open their arms to the whimsical beasts. It's an opportunity for the art industry to give back to the community and bring recognition of its artists, galleries and sponsors. Meridian is the first city in Mississippi to join the national animals on parade phenomenon. What more natural icon for Meridian than the Carousel Horse -thus Around Town Carousels Abound was born.
The fiberglass carousel horses measure approximately 5' x 4, 11", will be painted by local and state artists and be permanent art throughout the city. Plaques will designate the artist and sponsor of each horse.
"The primary goal of our project with the life-size carousel horses is to instill within the citizens of Meridian and Lauderdale County a deeper love, thirst and appreciation for art. We feel there is no better way to accomplish our goal than to expose people to public art.

A PINK HEART
WELCOME BACK TO PINK SATURDAY. THIS
HAS BEEN A FAST WEEK. ONCE AGAIN I
HAVE POSTED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS
VERY DEEPLY TO ME. FRIENDS HOW SOME
PEOPLE DON'T CHERISH FRIENDSHIPS
ENOUGH. LIKE THE POST SAYS SOMETIMES
WE JUST LET THE BALLOONS GO.MAYBE WE
DON'T REALIZE THE EFFECTS OF THE BALLOON
GOING UP UNTIL IT IS OUT OF SITE AND WE
NO LONGER CAN SEE IT.I ALWAYS WONDER WHERE
DID THAT BALLOON END UP.
PINK SATURDAY IS HOSTED BY BEVERLY OVER
AT HOW SWEET THE SOUND. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO
VISIT HER BLOG AS WELL.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL PINK SATURDAY
AND MEET LOTS,LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS.
EACH PICTURE REPRESENTS A PART OF A PINK
HEART.I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THE PICTURES
IN BETWEEN THE WRITING. OH WELL ENJOY,
THE PICTURES ARE VERY SWEET.
Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in '09 . Try to collect 12, it's not easy!
'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.
One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself
If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.
One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless ' You' do..
Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open..
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
Send this to all your friends and see how many you get back. Even send it to your balloons that you think have flown away forever.You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you love and like and that have touched your life in a positive way..
