There was one shining moment that occurred during the team's first soccer practice last night. That was when the last family showed up, and we had 100% attendance! I have all my forms signed and turned in. We are ready to roll... that's a beautiful thing!
.
That is, by the way, a phrase my dad is noted for. When something turns out well, it is just like him to say, "That's a beautiful thing.".
That item in the photograph hangs in my cousin's tree. I do not know exactly what function it serves, but I'm pretty sure that it is either a whatchamacallit or a thingamajig. I liked the way it catches the light, and thought it would be a good object to capture with a large aperture. Of course, the reason I used it for today's post is because I was happy with how the picture turned out, and...that's a beautiful thing..
(For those who were following the saga, the Craver residence finally has a refrigerator!)

HEY! That's a beautiful thing! Maybe we can call it folk art.
I can hear him saying it. :)
wonderful post!
Yes Dot. That's a lovely folk-artsy doohickey. :-)
Mary, every time I say that phrase, your mom echoes back that it is something my dad would say.
Thanks NaNcY. And thanks again for that Psalm from yesterday. I was meditating on that again this morning, and absolutely loved how verse 3 seems to suggest that the moon and stars are small things to God that he placed with his fingers. Pinky up I presume, to stress how small they are to Him.
i believe the item you photographed is what we would refer to as a "gazoochie", which might fall under the broader category of "whatsit."
in any event, that's a beautiful thing.
The "thingamajig" is something specifically created to catch light and look beautiful. It IS a beautiful thing. (That's my husband's line.)
100% attendance is an AMAZING thing.
And life must be wonderful with refrigerator.
Horray for the year of the refridgerator!
I love that your dad had that for a catch phrase. That it would stick in your mind and Mary's means it is something he said on quite a regular basis. That is a legacy.....to be content and joyous with beauty and give recognition when and where it is due. That is a blessing.
sure is a beautiful thing! sure to make passersby stop and wonder!
yes you were right about 'Jai Hind'! It means Victory to India!
