Happy Birthday Mom. I can't remember what your favourite type face is but since I'm in Paris I figured I'd use Mona Lisa. This week will be all Kurt Vonnegut Quotes just for you. Thanks for inspiring me to make this blog xoxoxoxooxoxooxoxo  Sending you thoughts of pink tulips, indigo flamingos and an abundance of goldfish.

Love You!

It's the RIGHT time 
when it it over  
it IS over 
whoever comes

and whatever happens 
is the ONLY thing 
that could have happened… 
walk with GOOD speed"
