Inspiration, at least for me, comes from a great number of different places and things. Yesterday, I was in my favorite greeting card place (the supermarket) looking for valentine's cards for my grands.
Now, this is not a simple matter for a person who honestly believes that Valentines day was created by the Hallmark Card company as another way to sell cards. No cynicism here!
It's a wonder that they haven't caught onto groundhog day yet. Hey "Happy ground hogs day". "Yeah thanks, there's now going to be six more years of winter." "Right, have a good one!" Oh, and I spent $3.95 for a piece of paper and envelope for you. Send it to the Corporate Treasurers office and don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out! OK, maybe I am a little cynical, but I did put a good bit into choosing just the right cards for each of them.
Seriously, it's gotten so that if you don't have a card for each loved one, chocolates, roses, and diamonds-----well, your viewed as being right up there with most serial killers and ranking below used car salesmen and lawyers.
Well, I do have four good excuses to go out a file for a second mortgage to buy four cards for my grands. I mean who could resist with kids like my kids have. I love them all, but am especially fond of a young lady who was born in 1999. This is Emily!
If any of my grand kids will ever end up in the public eye, this will be the one. Got a mind of her own which she exercises when she wants and not when someone else wants. She probably has a little bit of me in her in that respect. Lord help her she'll probably become a politician, go to Hollywood, or walk the walk of a model. Love her to pieces!
