Memory Board


On the wall behind my computer I have a memory board which has pinned to it, wonderful letters, cards, gifts, mementoes and treasures from some wonderful friends from all around the world.
It makes me smile and I am thankful that I have met so many beautiful friends.

"I count myself in nothing else so happy
As in a soul rememb'ring my good friends"
~ William Shakespeare

We have eaten our Sunday brunch out on our deck in the sunshine. Apart from it been a little breezy ( still able to wear only a tee shirt ) and having a bee buzzing around trying to get at my breakfast, it was wonderful breathing in the lovely fresh air.

Many thanks for visiting me, with your busy life and leaving a comment and it makes me happy to welcome new followers.
I hope that you are having a lovely weekend.
Hugs
Carolyn

  2. Hi Carolyn,
    Your memory board is wonderful and I can imagine gives you happy thoughts everyday.
    Sounds like a perfect morning having breakfast on your deck in the fresh morning air.
    It is HOT here and over 100 degrees again today with no end in sight. I am struggling to keep my flowers healthy.
    Love the William Shakespeare quote.

    Have a wonderful day dear friend.
    Hugs from Texas, Celestina Marie

  13. At some point, when I get some projects done around here, I will have a memory board too. Actually, I might need a few of them. :) Breakfast sounds lovely. There will be no outdoor activities around here for quite some time, but we did enjoy nature while in Nepal, even in the rain! :) Best wishes to you for the week ahead, Tammy

  32. I wish I had the space for a memory board, Carolyn! But I do keep scrapbooks. Have since I was young. I love looking through them. I bet yours is filled with love and friends!

  33. I have a board like that too Carolyn, and it is layers deep with treasured things from friends and family, as well as the odd inspirational find peeking through. I love the busyness of it, and every once in a while something catches my eye and my thoughts wander to the person - happy memories!

  36. Dearest Carolyn,

    Wow, finally I am catching up. Wanted to visit those that are loyal to me and even helped me get over my down period. Today I took the Atelvia pill and feel fine. What a difference for not feeling like a rag and having heart burns...
    Have a great week and keep your memory board as a motivation for LIFE!

    Love,

    Mariette
