For me certain types of flowers bring back a flood of memories. I remember in my early teens visiting my best friend who had moved to the country. We would spend hours in the field next to her property, talking and picking the petals of daisies in a game played by many, he-loves-me, he-loves-me-not.
This memory can rushing back two days ago when I was waiting in line at the supermarket and happened to glance at the bouquets for sale. Amongst the mixed bouquets, there were daisies. This flower has special meaning in my heart. I associate it with my best friend who I lost to a car accident when we were both 17.
Flowers definitely bring an emotional response and we remember our happy and sad times through them.
The first time I inhaaled the sweet fragrance of a carnation I was enthralled. It happened when my father, took us to Greece to visit his parents. As a 7 year old, this strange land captivated me. I vividly remember my first response when we made our way up the hill where my grandparents? house was, to find myself staring up at the handing grapes from the porch roof and the carnations which were planted along the edge of the porch.
Mini FootballMy young son has started to become really interested in football and he is taking part in a
Mini Football tournament this weekend. This has really pleased his father no end as, previously my son was not interested in football and my husband was devastated that he might grow up without ever attending a football match. The
Mini Football tournament is organised by my son`s school and we are all attending as a family to watch himm. I have warned my husband not to make a show of himself on the day as I know what he is like and have visions of him jumping up and down on the sidelines like a man possessed. I know that he would embarrass our son beyond belief if he behaved in this manner and just hope that he will check himself on the day. He has assured me that he will just stand and watch quietly as it is only a
Mini Football tournament. However, he has said that if our son progresses well and plays in real matches in time to come then it will be a very different story. I dread to think what he will be like in years to come.
Firewood LogsA crackling, roaring fire, a hot cup of cocoa and a decent novel sounds like my idea of heaven this winter. I love sitting beside an open fire in the winter as the wind howls outside. The only downside to having an open fire is having to source fuel for the fire in the first pl
Bb GunsBb Guns are basically air guns. The initials BB stand for `Ball Bearing`. Therefore, you can make out that the projectiles used in
Bb Guns are spherical in shape. There are a few pointed projectiles used in
Bb Guns, but they are mainly used for bird hunting. To resist corrosion,
Bb Guns, which are made of steel, are coated with either zinc or copper. For recreation purposes, some Asian countries manufacture
Bb Guns out of plastic. Airsoft Guns are also referred to as
Bb Guns or pellet guns. However, they are designed to be non-lethal. Extreme caution should be taken when handling
Bb Guns because shots from these guns have the power to penetrate human skin.
