A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

~Author Unknown

I remember my father buying me a beautiful Lladro statue from Spain while he and my mother were there for a LDS Mission. They both picked them out for all of us girls...specific to what they saw us as.

I love my little dancing beauty and have her on a very high shelf safe from my little grommets. It's a purchase that I know they really couldn't afford..but they did it with not a second thought.

Write about a gift you might of recieved (store bought or made) from your father that means something to you.

Earth laughs in flowers. 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never thought of this before...but it seems to be true.
The earth shows it's humor though nature and I can see the Earth laughing through flowers.

This Weeks task is to think back on a time you saw nature expressing it's emotions through color or lack of color and then WRITE ABOUT IT!

Spring Flowers
Summer Blossoms
Fall Leaves turning colors
Winters Barren Trees

-Napping under the Sun-

I remember when I was younger coming home from Church in the Spring and having the outside be slightly cool and our home nice and warm.

I would park my body on the floor right in front of the back door of our home. The door was a glass door and so it would let in a door full of light across the carpet. Enough light to keep warm and not too much to make you sweat. I loved reading the Sunday comics laying on my belly on the floor and then taking a nice Sunday nap.

Write your thoughts or memories on this subject!

I think skipping could be the answer to many of our adult health problems.  ~Jeanne

When was the last time you had yourself a little skipping fest? Give it a try, if only for 60 seconds! Then write how you felt afterwards. 

Better yet..challenge your child, friend or sibling to a skipping race.

I guarantee it's gonna make you laugh.

You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.
