Because going on vacation is something I like to do, and because it's something I really must do, I think my life to be doubly blessed! Besides, our family really needs the break. I'll try my best to blog while I'm away...

I'm posting this picture just because I like it so much. If you look closely, you'll see the word "diligence" written in the clouds behind the main text. I think these women were diligently "bringing in the sheaves" and then agreed to rest for awhile. Looks like wonderful, simple times to me! No television, no cell phones, no computers, etc. - just each other. Sounds like the perfect vacation to me!

Hi Mary,

I love that picture. Where did you get it? I would love to hang it in my house.

Love, Danielle

Hi Danielle! I found this on the web and I can't even remember where. I love it too. Should I ever come across a print of this picture that would be big enough to hang on a wall, I'll buy it for you!

XO,
Mary

There's a lot of thought about which is better, the old ways and days or now-a-days isn't there. Each has its good points and bad. A slower pace would be lovely, but after all, for myself, I rather do have a slower pace being a stay-at-home person. Ahhh, contentedly sighing...smile. Wishing you many many hours of sheer relaxation on your vacation. May it be so!
