Missing the obvious :)



Do you ever feel like you're oblivious to the things around you, or is it just me?
I'd hardly even noticed the flowers in our walkway a week or so ago,
but my youngest daughter was paying attention.
She took the camera out there and snapped a photo. 
Unretouched, btw :) Isn't it beautiful?  

Last month my oldest son and some friends went to see a new singer perform.
They'd discovered her on YouTube. Her name is Jayme Dee,
and she has an absolutely beautiful voice. If you haven't heard of her yet, you will :) 

So last week, when an old friend that I'd reconnected with on FB mentioned her too, 
I was a bit surprised....until I suddenly realized that Jayme Dee
was her daughter!!
We'd messaged back and forth and she'd mentioned that her daughter sang.
I'd looked at my friend's FB photos of her family,
and I'd viewed Jayme Dee's video with my son.
Somehow I hadn't put two and two together though.


I may be oblivious at times, but I've definitely got my kids convinced 
that I have connections to everyone :)
(Btw, her daddy was my college youth pastor, 
and her sweet mama has an equally beautiful voice).
Enjoy!!

Blessings,
Marcia

    Amazing colors in that flower! Life gets busier it seems and we need a reminder to take time to stop and 'smell the roses' as it were!

    Such beautiful flowers, of course ours are long gone. It really is a small world - will have to go on YouTube and watch the video. I love hearing about new artisit before they become really big.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I am a new follower.

    Oh yes, I am blind sided sometimes...life just takes us that stage of soooo busy that we don't focus on the reality of what is around us. I just say: Oh HELLOOOOOO!

    LOVE Jayme Dee's voice! It is so clear and pure. She will go far! And she is pretty, too!
