I've been thinking a lot about my life and what I want it to look like when I'm gone. What legacy do I want to leave? How do I want to remembered? <BR/><BR/>Your Mother and Grandmother obviously have a legacy in you. I'm not sure if they taught you all you know about making a house a home, but I imagine they played a part in shaping that. I read your blog all the time, but rarely post. I enjoy the calm, beauty of your writings and pictures. I pray for you as you care for them. <BR/><BR/>BTW, can you email me or post the recipe for those cupcakes. They look wonderful. I tried to make cupcakes for my daughters birthday party and I wasn't pleased. Yours looking yummy and inviting!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-13575273605402839432008-02-01T23:17:00.000-06:002008-02-01T23:17:00.000-06:00The smells of chocolate and baked goods always lif...The smells of chocolate and baked goods always lift my spirits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595549057172510815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-47249942477049320382008-02-01T17:59:00.000-06:002008-02-01T17:59:00.000-06:00Anna; God give you strength as you bless your mum...Anna;<BR/> God give you strength as you bless your mum and grandmother.

But God's timing is perfect,howbeit, my human frailties. Isaiah 43:2-3a (NIV)<BR/>"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass throught the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I AM the LORD, your GOD, the holy one of Israel....

There ..."This is the most beautiful place on earth. There are many such places. Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even, possibly, for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio or Rome - there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment."

I read this post last night, but didn't have time to comment. <BR/><BR/>How wonderful a blessing you are to your mother and grandmother. You. Taking care of those who took care of you in the same home many years ago.
