The wonderful Annie of McGuffy's Reader has started the blog hop called Sparks as a way to put more positive energy into the world. Join her in combating the often negative influence of social media by adding your own Spark!
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world! ~ McGuffy Ann Morris

Mimi,
ReplyDeleteBabies are great "Awww" moments! A smile can warm the heart which is always welcome but what about my toes? I love bubble wrap! I can't stop myself I have to pop that stuff every time I get it in a package. I know, I'm a big kid! Bill Bixby...that's an actor I haven't thought about in years. Is he still alive? I just asked Google and learned that Bixby died in 1993 from Prostate cancer at the age of 59. I had no clue. I always thought he was handsome.
How cute Mimi. He might grow up to be the president of the United States. It's raining right now so you guys have more snow then we do. That's OK, it's suppose to snow ater in the week just before we leave for our cruise.
ReplyDeleteSee ya my friend.
