Ah. Weekend. . . Ah!!

Twigs, brambles, bare roots. . . signs and shadows of winter.

A beautiful flower always lift the spirit!!

At home.....a good place to be!!

Good morning.   It is very early, not a car in the parking lot ....yet...one light on in one of the hospital rooms, Christmas lights plugged in and shining bright, a television on, a huge screen, I can see the pictures from across the way.  The lights are blinking and quite colorful, and the owner has not put in an appearance, probably hunkered down under the covers and content.  Anew day, um...wonder what is in store for us!!!

Well, a good time was had by all  last evening, family members came and joined us here in the dining room where there was food for all, not a morsel was left and all was delicious.   Our holiday dinner early and well received.   Our Karen and her family do a stand up job of putting on a feast for us.   As the saying goes;  'we had everything from soup to nuts.'  . . . and we did and I bet there is not a crumb left.  A great start to our holiday season.  I think my family enjoyed every morsel and Donaleo managed a few left overs wrapped and saved for a new day.   He loves to eat.  He is not fussy and is never at a loss as far as appetite goes.   . . . and he is skinny;  how do 'they' do it;  folks can eat a ton of food and not gain...and then there are 'us' one whiff and we put on a pound.  Well you know the old adage of 'life is not fair' and sometimes it doesn't seem to be.   Some can eat tons of food and never gain and some smell food and gain. . . something called metabolism...but at least we enjoy our food and exercise is good for us....'so they say'...smile!!

It is cold black outside, probably around five or at least heading that way.    Don't believe the old adage about early birds and such, all you do is lose sleep and stay grumpy all day....smile!!  I am off for a refill, my cup is empty.   I am really not awake yet and my chair looks good enough to hunker down in.  I think I'll put on the TV and some news and find out what is ongoing in our world.   I may even get in another forty winks.    Have yourself a good day, all day doing what you like to do best.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and good deeds are needed, and necessary, for a 'good' day...be YOU and share....kindness, gentleness....and...love!  Hugs to all.
