Happy Birthday Nell








If of all thy worldly goods thou art bereft,
And two loaves loafs of bread are all that you have left,
Sell one loaf, and with the dough
Buy a hyacinth to feed thy soul.


My Mother's friend taught me that poem and I recited it to Nell when I took her a hyacinth for the 90th anniversary of her birth (which was yesterday) - Of course you know Nell. I had the most delicious bowl of chili for lunch and we had a nice visit. I have a card for her but I forgot to take it so now I have another excuse to go see her. It was a wonderful way to break the day. Hugs, j
