DO play with your food!

My darling husband was giving me funny looks while I was happily snapping photos of our family s'mores session on the deck tonight... "You realize you just took 13 pictures of a marshmallow?!!" Whatever! I think these speak for themselves!!!

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is a sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"



This truck was parked on our street a couple weeks ago. I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed the pair of boots sticking out of the back!
