Are you BRAVE?
I am really looking forward to Disney/Pixar's new princess film, Brave. Only a couple more weeks!
In the meantime, you can check out some of their latest vignettes:
I remember you
Dear boy,
I remember you. The boy who had just a mama. The boy who didn't always fit in, who had fewer toys and older clothes. The boy who liked me.
My parents taught me right; I was not to judge or look down, but to be kind and open to everyone. I did not always know what to think of our friendship. Sometimes it scared me. You had an air of danger, of trouble - or was I imagining it, just because I did not know much about your life?
Time marched on, we went our separate ways. You surprised me one day, many years later, when you wrote me letters. I was surprised, flattered, and a bit wary when I realized you still had a fondness for our friendship. Trouble had caught up to you a couple times. You were an artist - you sketched lovely pictures. You sent me some.
We are out of touch once again, as it is with the constant motion of time. In adulthood, you still show a hard exterior. Looks can be deceiving; I am sure you are a good father and a good person. I am glad that I was taught to accept everyone. I will pass along that teaching to my own little girl. There are not many opportunities to experience differences in a small town private school, and I was lucky enough to have a unique friend who never showed me anything but a kind heart.
I hope you are still on the right path and doing fine.
Sincerely,
The past & present Me

Mommy & Me: Splashing Saturday
When the Atlanta area forecast has no rain and a high temperature of only 75 on a Saturday in June, you just cannot stay indoors. We took a mini road trip to Little River Canyon, just over the border in Alabama.
We climbed over rocks and splashed in the little trickles of water. Amelia ended up soaking wet, but thankfully she had extra clothes in the car. Steve and I did not have any extras - and we both had a near disaster. Those rocks are slippery when wet!
