Flowers, Empty Chairs and Smiles

Those Empty Chairs that surround your table today and every other day you gather with family and friends-

Don't have to be empty.  Fill them up with memories of happy times.

And grow Flowers!

Live from my office garden.

Just opened up!

Tweet, tweet, you sure are sweet!

Loving the winter-ness!

We sure love our sweet little blind puppy Allie!

Growing Up and growing out

comes with growing apart.

Fill those empty spaces with smiles

and replay memories.

"You can't deny laughter; when it comes,

 it plops down in your favorite chair 

and stays as long as it wants."

Stephen King

Just a few words from

Macklemore Lyrics - Growing Up (Sloane's Song) says it best.

Wear a helmet, don't be stupid, jaywalk, but look before you do it

If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help,

Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, till it melts

GO to Festivals, CAMP, fall in love and dance

Take Risks, cause life moves so fast.

Be Patient.

"Old empty chairs are not empty in reality; memories always sit there."
