10 At The End – May

“In May, witness nature’s resilience as it dares to blossom.” Emily Dickinson

Gratitude and enjoyment this month…the highlight reel…

  1. My daughter and I made homemade pasta and sauce at her place, playing Italian music while we cooked and ate. After dinner, we watched Tucci in Italy. It was a fun night! My daughter has been learning Italian the last year, and is touring there this fall.

2. During a recent walk, I watched a little girl somersault all the way down a hill while her brother played soccer on an adjacent field. That’s good fun right there! I smiled the entire time.

3. My wonderful kids celebrating Mother’s Day…

4. Spent a week in Texas with our youngest and son-in-law.

5. A delicious latte at a new coffee shop.

6. My son and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast together on a weekday morning before he started meetings.  

7. Everyone was again traveling in different cities, and had some long car rides in Mayโ€ฆI am thankful for God’s protection and never take it for granted.

8. My poem, Rollerblading Behind a Triplet Stroller, was published on Spillwords.

9. That Texas sky…

10. Gratitude for many May gifts…in-season fresh fruit, trees (finally) in full bloom with sturdy green leaves, early morning sunrises and time in God’s Word.

I hope your May was a good one…tomorrow we start the sixth month of 2025! Welcome June…

โ€œSummer afternoonโ€”summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.โ€ โ€“ Henry James

      Hi Mary! My daughter used Semola and eggs for the noodles. The sauce I do without a recipe-tomato sauce, garlic, onion and paste. A side with some sugar for half my family that likes sweet sauce. I hope this is what you wanted๐Ÿ. I appreciate your visit!
