Matters of the heart

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 17th 2010

There are many things in life that I tend to take for granted…. I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch, the food inside the refrigerator to be cold, and the water to get hot in the shower (eventually). Those are relatively simple things – all dependent on electricity and my [...]

Love comes in many shapes

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 16th 2010

In my mind, I associate Valentine’s Day with red hearts and flowers, chocolate and love notes.  A Hallmark holiday designed for sharing your love with those important to you.
Right?
But I suppose expressing your love can come in all shapes and sizes.
Like this:

A precious home-made gift from Beebo. Can you tell what it is?

What? Don’t spiders [...]

Measured with love

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 9th 2010

“Intense love does not measure; it just gives.”
~Mother Theresa
Aren’t these the prettiest measuring spoons you’ve ever seen? I just love them. And I love the sweet friend that gave them to me!

Sugar Overload

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 4th 2010

This year was by far one of the best birthdays…. definitely one of the SWEETEST.
My precious friend Shannon sent my this fun package:

At first glance,  I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at…. the treasure was well hidden:

But when I peeled back the *hay*, underneath were some serious YUMMMIES:

Can you say DIVINE?

Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.
Then…..
Midmorning [...]

44 Lessons I’ve learned

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 2nd 2010

The past few years, I’ve taken a moment each birthday to evaluate *where* I am in life and to sort of see *where* I’m going. Maybe to see if I’m still on the path or if I’ve wandered astray without even knowing it. So, in honor of remembering life lessons, I’ve written a list [...]

The King

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 27th 2010

I just finished this hefty nearly 1100 page novel by the King of Storytellers – in my opinion, anyway – Stephen King.
For someone like me, that is a full-time mom and wife, a full-time employee, a novice photo junkie, and a blogging, knitting and rummikub addict – finding the time to read such a large [...]

Houseguests

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 11th 2010

Mr. Lucky and I have been married for over fifteen years and that entire time, we’ve lived at least 2 hours from our nearest family members. Over the years, my MIL and my sister Lena have visited at different times – others have come too, but not as often. (My mom came when both of [...]

Shoot 360

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 10th 2010

For several years, my dear friend Shannon and I have discussed the idea of having a combined blog…. something we could do together. We’d talk about it off and on and let it slip to the wayside because we could never really find a “focus” for a new blog. We both blog about random things [...]
