Lovely! Reminds me of another "cinthia." Eons ago when I was teaching first grade one of my little girls came in with an armful of forsythia for me. "Look what I brought you ---- forcynthia! " Forsythia always reminds me of Joyce!
What a sweet remembrance! My mother was a first grade teacher...and my name is Joyce! And Mom loved flowers. coincidences? I like to think of them as "God touches" that bring people together! (((Hugs)))

Joyce --- that's one of the blessings of C4J -- the puzzles and comments put us in contact with others with similar experiences, remembrances, likes, dislikes and on and on!!! Truly "God's Touches! " Nice to know you!

JoyceRogers --- I'm from the coast of Massachusetts, transplanted to central Illinois to be near family --- five years ago. A good move, but I miss the coast! I have two grandnephews in the Denver area. Nice country!

JAMP124, I have a friend who recently moved back to the Jersey coast to be near family (and the coast! )...She feels like she's in heaven!! She posts pictures every day of the beach, her huge prolific garden, all their home improvement projects, etc, etc. After having the military move them all over the world, she said this was the best move they have ever made! Since I was raised in Colorado, I prefer the mountains! Lol!

Beckydent, thank you so much for mentioning this. May we all pray that her symptoms are mild and are cured quickly. We miss you, trynfindit. Get well soon! (((hugs)))
You gave me hyacinths first a year ago; They called me the hyacinth girl.' —Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither Living nor dead, and I knew nothing, Looking into the heart of light, the silence. Od' und leer das Meer.
