I have two that comes to mind all the time:
“God doesn’t close a door without opening a window” (my favorite)
and from my beautiful grandmother (regarding someone taking things that don’t belong to them)… “if they can live with it, you can live without it” (think about it!)
Mmmm! Those lemony scented memories.
Just made a double batch of Lemon Curd. Delicious.
This piece of art would be a memory tickler.

Good Women–
May we know them,
May we be them,
May we raise them!
Bloom where your Planted!!
Friendship warms you like nothing else can.
My mom always said “Everything will seem better in the morning”, and by George, she was usually right.
My Dad used to regularly say “It serves no useful purpose”. I now find that I also use this phrase when it applies, thanks for the wisdom dear, old Dad!
Never look down on someone unless your helping them up
Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive.
God helps those that helps themselves
Katharine Hepburn said: If you always follow the rules, you’ll miss a whole lot of fun!
All because two people fell in love
The lemon one is my favorite. My second favorite is “Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home”.
There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you!

A sign in my garden: (with musical notes around the words) – Lettuce Turnip the Beet!…and I have to add a second written by John Lennon: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
This is the day the Lord has made, be glad and rejoice in it.
“No problems, only challenges”
This goes real well with the Life and Lemonade sign.
What a cute sign! It feels great to be getting in gear for warmer weather! Loving the lemons and how they are on lots of decor that I’ve been seeing!
I want to win that sign.
Life is fragile – handle with prayer!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

And this to shall pass.
Love this sign !!
In raising two girls I have quite a few but my current is “halfway is not ok” it goes well with “if you don’t do it right the first time you have to do it again.”
You can’t judge a book by its cover.
This is such a positive outlook when we are in the midst of uncomfortable challenges that trouble us. Lemons are so sunny and they are such good source of Vitamin C as well great for cleaning one’s home.
A little progress each day leads to big results!
I teach at risk students and this is our motto. Stick to the task, don’t give up, and you will accomplish more than you’ve ever thought possible!
My mom always said, “You don’t miss what you don’t see.”
We are all mothers in special ways. Godmothers , big sisters, aunts, or simply friends with children. There are so many children already here who need love- it isn’t necessary to be a mother to experience motherering.
There were some wonderful quotes already shared! My favorite is “If God brings you to it, He will bring you thru it”! This has brought me strength and comfort thru many trying times! I would love to win this lemon sign, and I would love to win this!!
My favorite quote- “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only you can ruin your word. **Keeping true to others!
“Remain caring without taking responsibility” best thing a therapist ever told me!!
In our house we say ” when life gives you lemons make Margaritas”
“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. ” Our Mom used to say that to us all the time when we were ” wishing” we had what we thought everyone else had.
Do small things with great love.
LOVE LEMONS!!
