Anyway, over the 30 years of teaching I received some p.r.e.t.t.y s.p.e.c.i.a.l gifts. The precious teapot is one of them. It was handmade by a student’s mom, close to 20 years ago! Look at what it says on the bottom. D.T.B.Y “Dare To Be You”… Sweet! Soooo… anyway, how was your week? Anything exciting going on? Well…actually how was your … Continue reading

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happy Friday! Any special plans for the weekend? Often, during the week. ..as I ponder about what we’ll be chattting about. ..I think about you, wondering how you are, and how your week is going. Of course, I’m always hoping that you are well. And, if your week has been a little challenging, I’m hoping that our time together brightens your day. It brightens mine to see you. ♡ I don’t know about you. ..but this week just flew by for me.

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Happy Friday! and, happy first week of February. Oh, and happy be-lated groundhogs day! Those little critters are soooo cute! I wonder if they ever get discouraged waiting for Spring… They inspire me… (I’m still thinking about the critters) they have courage, no fear, and they just keep waiting in darkness to start their new little life. A.g.a.i.n…. I guess that should give us all hope. Especially, now that January is over…and any goals we might have hoped to begin way back then…might have gone back under ground too. No worries, there’s still plenty of time before the year is over to improve or become those perfect, and beautiful little critters we want to become. (grin) And, besides now we are in February, the official love … Continue reading
