Dear Sisters,
Have you ever wondered what life would be like without the occasional visit from Sweet Serendipity? I don’t like to thing about it for too long. Serendipity is what makes life more magical, mysterious and just plain fun! It’s what turns and ordinary day into an EXTRA-ordinary one. It touches our hearts and strengthens our faith because it always seems to come when we least expect it! It could be a simple as a phone call from an old friend who you don’t speak to very often and you just happen to be home to get the call. Or maybe while you are out doing errands a perfect stranger says the exact thing you needed to hear to help you solve a problem or situation you are dealing with.
My all time favorite is when you see words (or an entire phrase ) printed in bold letters on the side of a truck or building that ring so true you know in your heart they were meant for you! Has this ever happened to you?
I had a MAJOR sweet serendipity moment this week when my mother- in- law ( mum ) came for a visit! I can’t wait to tell you what it was, and what she brought with her! Here’s a hint. It has something to do with another sweet serendipitous moment I wrote about in my last post. Curious yet? Come on in for the rest of the story…
How wonderful for you that your mother-in-love brought the photos and how lucky for us that you chose to share them! Thank you!
Hi Adrienne! Glad you enjoyed the story and the photos..;) And, as always thank you so much for reading and your sweet note! xo Deb

Hi Denae,
So true! Thank you for reading and your note today! xo Deb
Loved your beautiful story today on this gorgeous Ozark day.
I too cherish my mother in law that I met almost 40 yrs. ago, and when I walked into their tiny house with 3 little boys gazing at me, I saw a batch of puppies in one corner of the living room and a batch of kittens in the other, and I knew I would fit right in. She has been a mom to me all these years, one time stopping at a yard sale and buying a Amish 9 Patch quilt, asking me to put a back on it for her and tie it, and that Christmas, it was wrapped up for me under the tree!! Just what I wanted.
I’ve been lucky, blessed, and grateful for her love for me!
Hugs from the Ozarks, Diana
Howdy Diana! You ARE blessed! It’s not everyone who has a special bond with their mother in law. I’ so very grateful for my mil too! As always, I love hearing from you! Be well and stay warm in the Ozarks! Hugs! xo Deb
Loved your post, Deb !! As I am just reading a book about synchronicity and serendipity, I was not surprised to read all about your happy connections. My mom is also 92 and I count on forever finding connections with her, no matter where she be 🙂
Those pictures are great! thanks for sharing!
Hi Laura! Thank you! I’ve got to know… What is the title of the book you are reading? Happy Connections! Love that! xo Deb

Hi, Deb! Just last night, I was on the computer, organizing and pouring over some cherished photos of my dear cousin’s 60th birthday party a few years ago. Just when I was looking at the pic of her opening gifts…guess who texted me? Yep, my honey of a cousin!
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂 xo Deb
Thank you for sharing your lovely story. There is nothing more precious than family and the wonderful memories they give us.
Lots of hugs

Hi Deb,
Loved your story about cranberries, and learned a lot about one of my favorite foods, especially dried cranberries! And this post – neat pictures. I love photos from the 40’s!
