Sedum Spectacular
One of the few things that thrived in this drought; propogated by Mom from a cutting. She has more started, so I guess I'll leave this one in Taneytown and bring a new one to Uniontown.

Yes.
"The greatest gift my friendship can give to you is the gift of your Belovedness. I can give that gift only insofar as I have claimed it for myself. Isn't that what friendship is all about: giving to each other the gift of our Belovedness?"
--Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved
Heaven?
"It is significant that in most ancient civilizations and religions, the life hereafter and the place of eternal happiness are depicted as gardens. In the ancient cultures, the basic ingredients of the earthly paradise are the same: plants that flower and fruit, shade that protects, and water that cools and irrigates."

Spoken Words
"I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved . . . the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave."

Why I Wear My Watch "Upside Down"
This, from drweil.com:
"Feel like your memory is getting worse with every passing birthday? It happens to all of us as we age, but a growing body of medical evidence suggests that lifelong stimulation is the key to building brain cells, staving off memory loss and maybe even preventing Alzheimer's disease. Research has found that doing interesting work (paid or volunteer), pursuing hobbies and engaging in an active social life can help. Try challenging yourself with music, language lessons, or a new computer program; plan a trip with friends; or just hunker down with a good crossword puzzle this weekend - anything that makes you think in different ways is challenging for the brain - and beneficial to your memory. And while you're at it, do it all with a smile. Studies show that a positive emotional state is also good for your brain."
