Yellow Bowl #7

So good to go but so goooood to be home.  Sleeping in our own bed with our favorite pillows.  Making breakfast in my beautiful kitchen.  Firing up the hand-maids for duty.  Yes, it is good to be home.

While out antiquing in California I found my 7th yellow bowl.  If you follow my blog you will know that I grew up with my mom making my dad's favorite cookies, chocolate chip, in a big yellow pyrex bowl.  I purchased a big yellow bowl and made my kids chocolate chip cookies and now make them for my 7 grandchildren.

Being the sentimental soul that I am I decided it would be fun to go on the hunt for yellow bowls to give all my kids and grandkids.  It has been so much fun to look for them when Precious Husband and I are out antiquing.  

When the new Mrs. Delightful Water, Monica noticed my yellow bowl in my kitchen she shared a childhood story of remembering her dad always having popcorn in the green bowl that nests in the set of 4.  Of course I had to gift Monica with a set of bowls so that her precious children can now eat popcorn out of the green bowl like that grandpa and she can make cookies in the yellow bowl like Dorothy,

I think I only have to find 6 more to make my plans complete.  Check here to read more about the yellow bowls.  Wahoo, the fun is in the hunt.

Signatures

I get a lot of torment from family and friends concerning my handwriting.  I understand their predicament because I often cannot read my own writing, sad to say.  I think it is due to neurological damage brought on by age because my writing was not always ineligible.  That's my excuse anyway : )

Now you know one more thing about me.  I have terrible handwriting.  When you receive a note or letter from me it will very likely be produced on my computer to make things easier for you.  If the note or card comes with a gift you will know the gift is from me even without a card because it most always is wrapped with my signature lace.  Sometimes it will also include a bookmark made from the lace.

I have used this for years and it got its name (signature lace) many years ago when my mother-in-law would recognize my gifts wrapped with the lace and say, "Oh, I know who this is from."

I love to give to others and I love including my signature lace - a good thing.

I also want to leave heart prints wherever I go and hope the following little blurb will encourage you to do the same.

"Heart Prints"

Whatever our hands touch-we leave fingerprints!  On walls, on furniture, on doorknobs, dishes, and books.  There's no escape.  As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh God, wherever I go today help me leave heart prints!  Heart prints of compassion, understanding and love.  Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.  May my heart touch a lonely neighbor a runaway daughter or an anxious mother or perhaps an aged grandfather.

Lord, send me out today to leave heart prints.  And if someone should say, "I felt your touch," May that one sense Your love touching through me.
