I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Lemon Pie and Willy Wonka

Day #207:
Wonderful day. I realized a few things. First off, I am not a fan of lemon flavored anything. I don't like cakes or pies that are lemon flavored. However, when Chef called me on his way in this morning and told me Amanda had made a pie from Mama Jean (her grandmother's) receipe, I couldn't resist. Oh my. It was worth every fattening calorie. I believe she might possibly be a better baker than Chef. I took a picture of it.. and cracked up because I've noticed anytime I take a pic of somehting delicious, it always has one bite missing. I've also temporarily misplaced my camera again, so you'll just have to trust me that it was both beautiful and delish!
2nd up on the agenda tonight was a trip to the Shoals Theater to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I go to church with the kid that played Charlie, so a lot of the Grace Lifers were there to support. I'd say we did a good job of representing. And James was AWESOME! He did so good. When I sent the info to sister today, she asked if I wanted to go becuase she knew how I loved the Oompa Loompas. I do love those little green guys. And they were EXCELLENT! They sang the old school Oompa Songs like on the original with Gene Wilder. Willy was good too. He looked like Charlie Sheen, so I kept waiting for him to scream "WINNING!" at the end of every scene.

And if you are in Florence this weekend, swing by. It's well worth the $12. And I'll totally go back with you. It was that good. Fun Times. :0)
