Cookie Jar Sweet Memories and additional posts


Dedication

 

 

To: Family!  To: Life!  To: Love!

(When it comes to “Family!” We won the Lottery-of-“Life” with “Love!”)

 

 

November 25, 2016, in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary, a “Golden” jamboree which we managed to spread out over two days (and, then some), our dear girls gave us several gifts: a tri-photo frame for us to complete with family pictures and a delightful “creative” offering filled with a “life-time” of memories: a “cookie jar” stuffed with 365 individual slips of paper, each imprinted with a short inscription reminiscing an event from those half-a-century of “special” events which we turned into awesome adventures to span a lifetime of love.

This book-creation utilizes those “loving” vignettes with added comments by the author.

What a very delicious idea our Caty and Becky-girl came up with for our special celebration.

Z. Tyler punked Chevy Chase’s “Christmas Vacation” with an appropriate instantaneous quip stating: “It’s the gift that keeps on giving, Clark!” while Miss Lauren and Miss Lexi shed a solemn tear at the nostalgic-beauty of the gift and our pistol, Anna Marie, betrayed the tiniest bit of disappointment that the “cookie jar” contained only little notes on paper, No! Cookies! The young lady looked hungry, but, in the spirit of the moment, giggled and laughed adoringly.

I will also use these gentle “nudgings” as a basis for my daily blog: trinitytrace.blogspot.com.

Thanks! Girls! For the focused impetus aiding my blog posts celebrating my cherished mantra: Faith! Family! Freedom! I pray it waves proudly unfurled on a golden-staff gonfalon as a beacon inviting eternal multitudes to emotionally experience: Live! Love! Laugh!

I begin this journey to create a loving “Thank you!” to Miss Beth and Miss Becky the day after our epic celebration, November 26, 2016, in hopes of completing the “tome” within a year ago that we might bestow the effort on our daughters as gifts on Christmas, 2017. Good luck!

The compilation of this work will be a “Blessing” in disguise: a re-living of a fabulous life!

So, let the games begin! I intend to add: excitement, creativity, love, insight with purpose.

 

Some “Rhyme”-thoughts:

 

Good! Is just enough of effort

Better! Is born of focused intensity

Best! Is conquest-love of pinnacle summit

 

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!

Vigilant be! No one future is ever late!

 

 

Faith! Family! Freedom Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal  instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
