You'll be his first kiss
his first love
his first friend
you are his momma
and he is your whole world.

He is your little boy.

Overthinking leads to negative thoughts.

Say Yes, and you'll figure it out afterwards.
- Tina Fey

Truth is, I miss you.
All the time, every second, every minute, every hour, every day.

Pawprints left by you...

You no longer greet me,
As I walk through the door.
You're not there to make me smile,
To make me laugh anymore.
Life seems quiet without you,
You were far more than a pet.
You were a family member, a friend,
... a loving soul I'll never forget.

It will take time to heal -
For the silence to go away.
I still listen for you,
And miss you every day.
You were such a great companion,
Constant, loyal and true.
My heart will always wear,
the pawprints left by you.

Reading.
That place where you're by yourself but you are never alone.

See!
The winter has past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come.
- Song of Solomon 2:11-12

Keep calm and garden on.

I have a crush on Spring!

We cry over
Friends we will never have back
People we once loved
Bridges that have been burnt.
But there's a reason
The past is in the past.
You only have so much
Room in your life,
Save it
For  people that deserve it.
Chances are,
If someone's in the past,
They deserve to
Stay there.
- A.M.

The secret ingredient is always cheese.

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction.
I get to the end and I think, "Well, that's not going to happen."

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
- George Shaw

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well,
if one has not dined well.
- Virginia Woolf

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not;
and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.
- Henry David Thoreau

Good food ends with good talk.
- Geoffrey Neighor

Love is..
... when he does the cooking.

Keep calm and add butter.

Recipe for Love
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of affection
A pinch of cuddles
Tablespoon of pure sweetness
A great big kiss

Cooking is Love made visible.

I asked God to protect me from my enemies and I started losing "friends"...

If a guy can't handle a girl in sweatpants
he sure as hell doesn't deserve her in a wedding dress.

If I ever walk away from you,
it's only because I want to see if you'll follow me.

Love can never grow old. Locks may lose their brown and gold.
Cheeks may fade and hollow grow. But the hearts that love will know, never winter's frost and chill, summer's warmth is in them still.
