Happy Pink Saturday Facebook Miracle...!

Good Morning,I have a 'Facebook' miracle to share this morning.
I signed up for Facebook about a month ago,for the heck of it I put my sisters name in search.This photo below showed up with her name and was not sure if it was her because she was missing for over 25 yrs.The last time I saw her I was maid- of- honor at her wedding to the man in photo.After she was married she 'poof' disappeared which was very heartbreaking for years.Unfortunately I do not come from a traditional family,dysfunctional with a capital'D'.Everyone seprated as adults and went MIA most of my adult life I have been alone and did not have a family of my own due to certain personal issues.
Anyway I sent her an email through Facebook when I found her.The first response was from her daughter in photo my neice!Then several weeks later I recieved a brief email from my sister and she stated she did not understand Facebook how it works etc...and have not heard from her since.My niece however..has communicated a couple times through Facebook email.. Kaily is a cheerleader in H.S.and the two boys are my nephews.
I have been very careful not to be overbearing in communicating and feel awkward connecting and really do not know how to after all these years? Last contact with neice was before Halloween and am leaving it up to them to contact me,I shared my email but have not heard anything....is it not safe to send telephone number thru facebook email? Any suggestions?

**Happy Pink Saturday and Halloween Party cont..What was your fav Halloween costume?

fibro and fain

fibro is painful






"Whew! what a party with the HPS and Halloween Party combined into one..I will be blogging till 2012! I am so grateful that I was up till midnight and had energy and woke up refreshed this morning? I am in pain as usual but not as severe as I thought I would be,esp in this weather which puts me down till June! I have heat on 90 and keeping my body warm wrapped in blanket and hot tea at my computer,thats a good costume!......I was expecting to be wiped out in bed today.I have not had this much clarity and energy for 9 yrs!
~~~~~~~~~
My best costume,I was a Southern Belle.I found a big puffy pink tulle vintage prom gown with hoop underneath the skirt and it had a matching tulle bonnet with huge pink roses.By the end of the Halloween night festivities I looked like Scarlett O'Hara in the scene where she was all tattered and torn in the mud covered in dirt.Not a practical costume for a country girl from Concord,Mass. at that time.
Salem has become Disney.
Still pondering at this age what to wear at 54 yrs to Salem this year,if I can go? I have fibro and arthritis,the damp and cold is wretched...Any suggestions ideas for a warm costume??

A Last Beachplum Rose Happy Pink Saturday

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com



"Most of if not all the beachplum roses along the beach are almost all gone now. I was greeted by this one precious rose.I said "Your beautiful and thank you for enduring the cool autumn seabreeze along the shore." I think maybe the 'townies' and summer residents must think I am the 'nutty' lady that talks to the flowers!!" Later I was pleasantly surprised by the pink fairy aura in left corner of the photo...maybe the roses friend?
Next when I arrived home I saw construction on an old cottage shed and hustled for the salvage door and panels.I found this pink buoy washed up on the beach by Shabby Mermaids.What a lucky day!
I am late posting a gracious faerie blog award from an inspiring artist..perfect timing with this post,a reminder that everything is in divine order.Faerie Blessings

Boston Lighthouse,Hull,Massachusetts...light blinks I-Love-You 24/7..into the mist

"Fill the sails of my life with courage, strength and truth that I may be one with those who steer their lives by the stars above. Enable me to live as a good brother or sister in the family of mankind, sharing all my good fortunes with others, irrespective of their station, race or creed. Quicken my spirit as I seek to live by the honor code. Make me wise in patience, tack and understanding that I may be found worthy of leadership. Bless my loved ones and may I never fail them. Bring me to a good end and an unfailing confidence in Thy protecting care. AMEN."
