Saturday 9: My Valentine (2011)
1) Paul McCartney sings that he won't let a day go by without remembering why he loves his valentine. What blessings are you thankful for today? My family and my faith.
2) Paul directed the video of Natalie Portman translating his song into American Sign Language (ASL), which is the third most commonly-used language in both the United States and Canada. British Sign Language (BSL), commonly used in EU countries, is very different. Do you find it easy to learn new languages? English is my native language. I know some Spanish and most of the the the ASL alphabet.
3) The song is on Paul's Kisses on the Bottom CD, for which he won one of his 18 Grammy Awards. What compliment or accolade have you recently received? My most important role is Mema(grandma) and my grands hugging me is the best compliment for me. My lifegroup friends us to tell me I was good with my crafting and how I shared it with them. They said they could see the passion I had for it.
These are the cards I made for a group of ladies I do an exchange with. I am also going to do the top card in my journaling Bible. I also use acrylic and watercolor in my Bible. You can watercolor on
a Bible page and it does not go through and does not cover the words. I usually add a Bible verse or, prayer or an something inspirational in the back of my Rolodex cards. I love being creative!
4) Paul is an honorary NYPD detective. He was given this designation for performing a charity concert after 9/11. Do you know anyone in law enforcement? Yes a couple of people at my church.
5) Bob Dylan has said of Paul, "I'm in awe of McCartney. He's about the only one I'm in awe of. He can do it all. He never lets up. He's just so effortless." Tell us about someone whose talent you admire. Right now my focus is on my grandkids. I have enjoyed watching them grow and learn. They all have their special gifts and I enjoy Bible journaling with them. They also made Valentine cards. Each grand decides how they want to do their Bible page after we have gone over their verses. Stamps, tape pr free hand drawing is what they worked with today. They are all created to create in their own way.
Todays Verses
This is the last Saturday 9 before Valentine's Day and so this morning we shall focus on the upcoming holiday.
6) The holiday is also known as The Feast of St. Valentine. Do you have a special meal planned for February 14? No, not at the moment. I will have to ask my husband as he does most of the cooking. We will be at Downtown Disney Saturday for lunch and so we will probably stay home on Sunday. Normally we go out for lunch at the beach or at the Mission Inn. This is at the Mission Inn, 2020
7) The phrase "wear your heart on your sleeve" began in medieval times. On Valentine's Day, men would celebrate the holiday by displaying their lady love's name on their sleeves. If you were going to adopt this custom, whose name would you wear? My dad's - Sammy, (Samuel).
8) Women buy and send more Valentines than men do. Who received the last greeting card you sent?
I sent a card to my friend that lost her mom and her husband to Covid in the same week.
Before we go there, we will be going for our vaccines. I wrote about that in my previous post.
