Life is not the way it is supposed to be. It is the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

A New Monday!!

Good Morning.   It is beginning to show some light in our skies this morning.  The hospital wing is dark with the exception of one window and that has a tiny Christmas tree all lit up. The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.  If it were lighter I could see in the windows but then there really is nothing to see..smile.

No breeze of any kind, and to dark on the roof top to see if the bird is there or not.   A brand new Monday and it is early, dark, inviting enough to go back for a few more minutes of snoozing, but....once awake ...that's it....up and stay up and give you a good morning hug.

We have a new week to work with, hopefully places to go and things to do.  The sky is very beautiful this time of the morning, a soft baby blue, a small patch of white clouds and the shadows within the tall trees has a bit of pink showing, a promise of sunshine a bit later I think.

So....we have a new Monday...the beginning of a new week, one we hope will be productive, fun, and busy;  the way we like it....smile.  Be a ray of sunshine today, good deeds do not hurt, even a little bit.   Be a friend to a friend and make your world a happier place.  Go...be YOU and have a sunshine day.
  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning!!!

It is pitch black outside my window this morning, and well it should be, it cannot be more than five thirty, six at most, I haven't looked at the clock.   I am awake, or almost as I look out the window to a dark sky but there are two hospital windows with lights on so some folks are early risers.   The night light on the side of the hospital building reflects on a car roof and it looks like it may have been raining.  It is a new Sunday, soon I'll find out what kind of a day we are in for when light comes and the sky tells its tale of the day.

I had a stay in Saturday so there is no new news to share.  I think I told you all there was to tell yesterday.   Quiet days are not bad, being busy is better, but we need the mix and watching a good movie on the television or reading a few chapters in a good book keeps us all content.   Best of all is having company for tea and sharing something tasty.

So, we have a new  Sunday to enjoy.   I am off for a refill of my coffee, turn on the television and find out what happened in the night  hours.    My little block with the Prayer of Serenity is here to share..."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."  Have yourself a day to remember, hugs to share, faces to love and friends to spend time with.  Go...be You...make today what the old folks used to call a "banner" day.   Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault....and share you with those you love and like.  Hugs to all.

Saturday...all day!!!

Good Morning.   I am up, awake???? Not yet..but working on it.   I am looking out my window and it is the time of morning when the sky is black and the trees have disappeared into the darkness.   It is Saturday and the weekend begins.  I have no special plans, as yet, but I am sure I will find reasons to put my shoes on and go out the door.   Meanwhile, my coffee cup is empty and I need a refill.  I have nothing to tell you about this morning as I didn't do anything exciting or interesting yesterday.   I did have some drop in company and that is always good and fun.  I enjoy having a visitor or two and share a cup of tea and something 'good' to sweeten our disposition ...smile!!!

So, go...have a good day, all day, doing what you want to do.    Of course there are things that have to be done so get them done and out of the way.   Enjoy your Saturday doing what it is you love to do on Saturday..sleeping in???  I bet...whatever you choose to do, enjoy....share you with those you love and like.  Make your Saturday special, like you, and have a good day, all day.

Coffee....aah!!!  I'd share if you were here.   Make today a day to remember doing good deeds, sharing you with those you love and like.

I was gifted with a new puzzle which I will share with the puzzle folks upstairs.  It is going to be a very difficult one, a puzzle to drive us crazy and we thrive on that...smile.   

Have a Saturday to remember....share hugs, good deeds, a meal or two, or even a trip out to the stores for left overs....Go...have a day that is spectacular!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday...already!!!

The old adage of 'time flies when your having fun' must be in good stead as it is Friday morning and I'd say about five a.m. and it is pitch black outside, no cars moving, no lights on in the hospital wing and here I am wide awake, seconds on coffee and wishing I was a sleeper so I could be snoozing for another hour or so...but...that is not what my body clock has to say and here I am wide awake, empty cup, and trying to find a few words of greeting....that is not easy at this time of day....but you are worth the effort...ha.ha.   smile...not everyone has a wake up hello at five a..m....ha,ha...and I am sure really does not want one....so I'll be kind and wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do.  I hope your day is special...just like YOU!!!   Have a good one.  I'm off for a refill and check out the news.    Make your today a 'banner' one!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning

Good Morning.   Night sky, two windows with lights over at the hospital wing and not a car moving in or out of the parking lot.  It must be all of five a.m. and folks like to sleep in, well there are exceptions...smile.

Coffee is hot and tasty.  Nothing good to go with it.   I wonder if the bakers make those long crullers.  I remember stopping off at the bakery to buy some doughnuts when I used to go down to visit my sister-in-law, Eileen, a long time ago, and stop off to buy a dozen and that always included the big round fat jelly doughnuts.   And you wondered how I got this girlish figure...ha.ha.

It is quiet out there in the parking lot.  Nothing moving at the moment.  There are two windows with lights on in the hospital wing, one with a tiny Christmas tree which I bet will come down today.   The holiday is about over, but don't worry there is another one coming along soon.  I'll be right back, coffee cup is empty, Mortimer the Ghost must be here, I don't remember drinking all that coffee....

We have a new day.  I wonder what is in store for us.   Packing away the Christmas decorations for one thing.   Running a dust cloth around wouldn't hurt and maybe there will be an invitation to go out and about a bit later today.  The stores must have their after holiday sales. 

So, I am off to start my new day , don't rush to wake up, you have the whole day ahead of you.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Love and Hugs.

Wednesday Morning!!!

The day after Christmas, a new day to catch up with ourselves, relax after all the excitement of the holiday and hopefully take time for the thank you notes ...it is a must job after the wonders of the holiday.   It is pitch black outside my window, a few cars moving in as a worker comes in for the day.  The trees blend into the sky and the night light on the side of the building leads the way in for the workers parking their cars.  It is around five a.m. and I have been here at the typewriter for a good hour, early wake up , a habit of a life time...

My coffee is hot and tasty;  there is nothing 'good' in this house....I'll open my door if you have a treat in hand...smile!!!

I hope your day is a good one and you enjoy the hours as you catch up with yourself.   Holidays are fun but it takes a few days to regroup and get back into that normal cycle of behaving...back to work, back to catching up with ourselves.

So, go...have yourself a good day, all day.    Be good, be kind, be generous, be YOU!!!!   Hugs to all.

Christmas Morning!!

Good Morning to YOU,  Good Morning to YOU....It is Christmas....how wonderful, a day that is special, a day that is wanted and yearned for, a day to celebrate YOU, Family and Friends.    The sky is a beautiful pale blue with pink clouds and a few white ones floating about.  The trees are still, worker cars are parked and quiet is the name of this early morning.    The TV is on, Cowboys...what else?  ha, ha.    My shoes are on, awaiting the girls to go out for breakfast.  I am hungry, but then I am always hungry.  Bacon and eggs or pancakes..um...have time to think about which one or maybe a mix this morning...I am hungry.   I am one of those who hit the floor, the kitchen, and food before the eyes are even open...I didn't get his girlish figure from lack of early morning breakfast...smile. 

So.....I wish you a Merry Christmas, a blessed day, a day that you will remember for a very long time.   I hope Santa was good to you and you are content and smiling.  I hope today is a day to celebrate family and friends and relax and enjoy.  I hope you have a good day, all day.....and take time to look up, the sky is really pretty this morning, little islands of blue withing the bright white of some clouds drifting bye.   Merry Christmas, I love you today and every day...smile.....just because YOU are so easy to love.   Have a day that remains in your memory banks....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

It's Monday Morning!!

Good Morning.  A new Monday, um...wonder what is in store for us today.  It is pitch black out my window so I cannot see the sky, or light, but speaking of light the little  Christmas tree across the way is shining bright and looks very pretty this morning.  There are two rooms with lights on, and one with the television on, so folks are waking up and getting ready for a new day.   My coffee is hot and so good, eyes are opening and now for the brain, hopefully with words to greet you with.  There is a choral group on, sounds like they are stuck in a slow rendition of something, but what I have no idea, not a favorite group so early in the morning.  I need a little jazz to wake me up...smile, or  a little polka might do it.  The road has a puddle or two.  I thought there was a break in the lights that surround the roof top but it is just the way they are set and have a pattern of two, four and then ten and not a light bulb out...smile.  Early risers over in the hospital wing as the room lights are on with the exception of one room.  It is dark and quiet out in the parking lot, no cars moving in or out at the moment.   A brand new day starts and hopefully we are ready for it.

The music group area dragging out a tune which could put me back to sleep...I will have to change the station so I can stay awake.    So...off I go to take care of business and wake up to a new day;  hopefully one filled with places to go, things to do and if necessary complete the tasks that need it.   I hope your day is a good one and you wake up feeling g r e a t, just like Tony the Tiger!!! 

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend, be a lover, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday Night

Hello.    I have been catching up, or trying to, and it is hard when you have little or nothing to say....me speechless....ha.ha.   never!!!  But, there are times when there are not enough words to share, especially when you have not done anything special or spectacular to share....It was Sunday all day.   I spent some time with my girls and that is always special.   I had a good day, so I am not complaining.

I have been on the computer catching up with myself and friends who are sharing and caring.  How lucky I am.

My tiny Christmas tree is all aglow and looking very pretty in the corner.  My Christmas cards are underneath and I thank each one for remembering me .  The cards are always wonderful, loving and beautiful, especially the words that are added.  I thank each and everyone of you.

I am going to put the tea kettle on, sip some hot tea and maybe find something good to go with it..although....I don't think I left anything out there in the kitchen that has sugar in it..smile.    Well, I have a sweet tooth...or two or three..ha.ha.

I wish you a good rest of today. I hope you had a good day, all day and found folks to love and things to do.  Sweet dreams when you get there.  Catch up when you have time.   Make sure your time is well spent in sharing and caring.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Saturday!!!

Good morning!!!  I am almost awake, coffee in hand...aah...so the eyes will open and the brain kick in gear and we will be on our way to a new Saturday, all day....cannot see where the sky begins and ends;   dark outside my window with the exception of the roof lights on the hospital wing.  There is one window shade open showing a lovely little Christmas tree with a very bright star.  Cars are moving in, workers coming in for the day and I am betting they are wishing they were cuddled in their beds snoozing for another hour or two...but...work is work and someone has to do it.   Glad my working days are behind me, although they were fun and good while they lasted. 

A new Saturday to enjoy and I think my girls are taking me up town to see the Christmas decorations and browse a bit.  I am thinking I'll treat them to lunch out and I know where they serve a very good tasty hamburger. So.....I will love you and leave you and open the other eye..smile.   Have yourself a good day, all day, doing what it is you want to do...that is important....remember not what you HAVE to do but what you WANT to do..smile.

Get in the spirit and shop until you drop...get that list down to a bare minimum.   The candy shop has a delightful selection of goodies that please the hardest taste on your list...go see...If you do not make your own fudge they do have some that is very good and tasty.   Bon bons are never out of style.   smile.

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Have one of those days you just cannot forget and don't want to.    Hugs to all.

It Is Saturday!!!

Good morning.   I am up, not awake all the way but working on it.  It is pitch black out my window, worker cars all parked on my side and nothing is moving, silence so I am going to make a little noise, put on my coffee, find something to go with it and watch a bit of news...and...wake up..smile.

I hope your Saturday is a good one...I hope you finish up your shopping.  I think today there is free wrapping in town when you buy gifts down there.  If not mistaken, think my Christine is helping out.

I have one eye open, want my coffee but have to go make it.  So off I go..going to enjoy Saturday, all day, and hope to find a gift or two and finish my list.   I would sing you a good morning but my vocal cords are still asleep;  how lucky can you get???  ha, ha. 

Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and have a good day ...all day...doing what you do best..being YOU...with love and laughter to share. 

Hugs to all.

Friday Morning

The sky is dark, trees are still, roof lights on in the hospital wing and cars are already parked so there is nothing moving and no noise of any kind.  I have already emptied my coffee cup so will go for a refill in a bit.   My little calendar says it is Friday morning so a new day is about to begin....let us hope for a good one.

At the moment my eyes are open but the brain is still asleep.....don't want to wake up as it is pitch black out my window, no movement of any kind, and I see a new tiny Christmas tree in another window of the hospital wing.  One of the patients has the television on and a tiny tree lit in the window, cute and colorful. 

I have said my  Prayer of Serenity in hopes of a good day, all day.   In case you do not have it..."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." Words for a good day, all day...smile.

So, make a plan, follow it through, have a day that you will long remember.  Finish your shopping, don't forget to check and recheck your list so you do not forget anyone.   Send a verbal hug to those not close bye. 

I am off for a refill, hot coffee...aah....sit in my easy chair, watch some news, feet up...um...some mornings are like that...ha.ha. 

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a lover....Hugs to all.

A New Thursday!!

Time flies whether you are having fun or not...smile....first sip of coffee....aah!!!  Hot and delicious, ate a stale doughnut, you would think, by this time, I would learn but.....smile!!

It is Thursday, no shades open in the hospital wing, cars parked on my side this morning and the lights are bright on the roof top and they run in a series of two, four and nine.   It makes for a nice trim around the building.    There is one early riser, the rest are dark and all is quiet.  In this building the sleepers are housed, not a soul stirring, no noise of any kind.  I have my television on but low.  I have one eye open and my coffee cup is empty so off I go...a new day...hopefully a good day sharing and caring with those I love and like.   Smile....I am singing "Hail, hail, the gangs all here"  ..ha.ha. 
Hugs
I hope your day is fantastic and you get all of your chores done.  It is time to decide what to get for those on your list and it is not as easy as we would like it to be.  Some folks seem to have everything;  some folks have wants you cannot fill;  some folks would appreciate attention, a wonderful gift when you share time.   So, 'wake up, wake up, you sleepy head;  get up, get up, get out of bed'   all off key but it is early...smile.

Go, have yourself a day to remember.   Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and open up those arms for hugs are one of the best gifts you can share.  Share YOU with those you love and like.   Hugs to all.

A New Morning!!!

Good Wednesday morning, pitch black out my window, a few cars coming in as the hospital workers drive in and park for the day...lots to be done...folks to help mend and cheer up.   A couple of folks are up over there as their Christmas trees are all lit up;  look bright and beautiful, tiny trees that sparkle with colored lights and I get to enjoy the view....more when I get the eyes open...it is early....it is quiet and the trees are still. 

My coffee is hot and delicious, a wake upper and there is nothing good in this house...ha.ha.  I bet you said that with me.   Well, toast isn't all bad but it just does make the taste buds sit up and take notice.   Next time I shop I will have to put some powdered sugar doughnuts on my list....ha, ha.  who am I kidding, they would be the first to go!!!

Wednesday morning, mid week and time goes bye like it knows what it is doing.  There is work to be done, chores to finish up and a trip to the store before the day is over.   I cannot believe all the good stuff is gone, well pinch and inch and I'd find out...smile.

So....go...have a good day doing what you do best.  Be good, be kind, be gentle and don't forget the hugs.  Don't forget to check your list; so.... be good, be kind, be gentle and share a hug or two.

Go...be YOU.....have yourself a day to remember!!  Hugs to all.

Tuesday Night Time.....Bed Time....

Hello.   Have I neglected you?  I hope not, but I find it is time to turn in and I see I should have, could have, would have written a today note but the mind is changing, goes off by itself, and I find that I didn't do what I intended to do; forgot to do what I was going to do;  or just plain got busy doing other things that kept the mind occupied and content....So someone pays a price when someone changes their mind about following a routine...boring??? Nah...just a 'moment'  ...and I am having more than one...ha.ha....

Well hello anyway, late or not.  I am about to turn in with my book, have a chapter or two I want to finish up and find out who did what and when..ha.ha.  you'll never know!!!

I had a good day.  I spent time with daughter Christine and did some of the paper work she has to do...envelopes and such...and I must do a good job as she invites me back...smile.

We had a big storm, I missed it as I was busy working away and didn't look out, but the news made it sound like it was awesome....must have been on the other side of town as it didn't seem to be doing much where I was...ha.ha.

It was a good day.  A busy day.  Busy is good.  I accomplished what I set out to do and that is a feather in my cap.   I am slowing down so when I have a day where I have shown a bit of productivity, then I can brag a bit. 

I have a wonderful loving niece who spoils me with gifts....she never fails to send me a treat, usually some cash to go out on the town with and take my girls with me...breakfast out...it is almost a tradition and I certainly am thankful for her thoughtfulness and her generosity.   How lucky I am she cares...how lucky I am she wants to be good to me....yes...a special young lady and one I have loved for a very long time.   Better not say that out loud or she will think I am saying she is 'old'...ha.ha.  far from it, has a way to go and no matter how hard she tries she cannot catch up with me...smile!!!

So...you have all my words for today.  I am about to 'hit the sack' as the saying goes and have a good book going.  Now if I can keep the eyes open for a bit, I may get another chapter or two in. 

I wish you sweet dreams.  I wish you a bright and beautiful tomorrow.  I wish you holidays that will stay in your memory banks.  I wish you love...I wish you luck...I wish you contentment.   Go....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Monday Morning

Time...flies, goes bye like it knows what it is doing and I am up and wondering what the new week is going to be like...time is going bye fast and there is much to be done as the Christmas holiday draws near.   We gripe, we groan, we moan but we wouldn't have it any other way....smile.

I have had my first cup of hot coffee and am staring at an empty cup, eyes not open all the way yet but I am working on it.   I have not opened the blinds but I am going to stop right now and do that.  I'll be back

Coffee,  aah!!!!  Hot and black!!!  And, outside my window there is darkness in the sky but down here the night light is on  along with the roof lights, and two windows with open blinds and I see a patient in bed in one and a beautiful small tree all lit up in the other.  The rest of the windows are all black...so a few sleepy heads are 'sawing' away. 

It is a new Monday, the start of a new week,  and a time to get busy with your list and finish up so you can wrap and be all set for the Christmas holiday.   I am never really all ready, smile, as I thought I did everything I planned and find out I still have a few things yet to do.   Time is a blessing, so I will get busy and finish my list...if only I could think of something really special that would fit the bill....

I hope your new week is a good one.  I hope you find that special gift for those you love and like.   I hope you stay healthy and happy and enjoy all the festivities of the season.   Be bright and cheerful, spread a little of YOU around.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday, December 16, 2018

Sunday, Sunday, la, la, la.....

Good Morning.  It has to be a little after five a.m. and I am drinking my first cup of hot coffee...aah!!!  It is pitch black out my widow as far as the sky is concerned, but there is one light on in one of the hospital rooms and a tiny Christmas tree is all aglow...very pretty.    Quiet...silence...it is very early .... and I am waking up, have a way to go but working on it.   Now you may be hunkered down, snoozing away, lost in a lovely dream world with no intention of getting up for some time....lucky you.

We have a new Sunday and if all goes well we will make good use of it.  I have no plans at the moment, but when you have only one eye open and still thinking of waking up when you know you would much rather go back to bed, shut of the light and get in a few more hours but a life time habit of early up works still and the body clock listens...but, not to me...smile.

The worker cars are coming in, one parking under my window right now.  I hope the coffee pot is on for them as it is much to early to be up and moving.  You can bet the patients are sleeping with no need or want to be awake at this early hour.  I see the pavement is still wet so we must have had some rain in the night.   So....lets take a page from their book, go back to bed, snooze for another hour or so and then start a new Sunday.   I cannot see anything wrong with that...can you? 

Have yourself a good Sunday doing what you want to do ..not what you have to do..ha.ha.   fat chance....the chores await Sunday or not.   So....I will go for a refill, hunker down in my easy chair, turn n the  tv and sleep through whatever is on...sounds like plan.  Go....have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you want to do....finish your shopping;  visit a friend;   take someone to lunch, just make sure you make today a good day, all day.  Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

Good morning to you, good morning to you...I'm singing...ha.ha.   good thing your sound is low or out..ha.ha. 

It is Saturday morning and it has to be all of five a..m. but then I could be wrong as I've been sitting here at the computer for awhile now and I did a blog ...wonder what I said????  ha...ha.   I am almost awake...working on it, but am not in a hurry.

It is pitch black out my window, worker cars are coming in slowly, only one room has lights on, the same early riser every morning.  It is Saturday all day and I wonder what is in store for us.   There is more Christmas shopping to do, there is a list with nothing on it ...but...I am sure I will find something in my travels.  Speaking of travels, I am off to the kitchen for a refill...

So...go...have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Be a good friend, be one to share a hug and enjoy it...be YOU....coffee cup is empty...oh dear...well you know what I am up to...

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday All Day!!!

 Good Morning!!!  I have been loafing..sitting in my chair doing a lot of nothing....day dreaming...or, at best, hoping...smile!!!!

A cloudy day, a Friday all day, I am showered, dressed, shoes on, and waiting to go up for lunch;  early lunch time here but then I wake up early and have a very early breakfast so I am always at the ready...food...food...ha, ha.....

My brain is on the foggy side but at this age that is something that happens more often than not and one has to find ways to circumvent the inevitable of being foggy, dizzy, silly, stupid, or whatever else wends its way this way.  So, it is a good thing you know me and understand what ageing does....and I can assure you it is not always what you think or want....it is like wishful thinking...smile!!!

So, I am ready for lunch and probably will stay up awhile to puzzle with whoever shows up ready and willing to find some pieces of a big puzzle that is really hard.  The kind we like...smile.

It wants to continue to rain, lots of big grey clouds up there and a bit of light behind a few of the darker ones, quite pretty to say the least.   The trees are still, no movement this morning;  maybe when the clouds move the trees will cooperate...smile.

I hope your Friday is a good one.  I hope you find things to do that make you smile.   I am off to lunch and hope your day is a good one...be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning...about Six A.M.

Good morning.  Are you awake?  I am almost awake , working on it, up and moving, drinking my hot coffee and wishing for a big fat jelly doughnut but that is in my dreams as there is 'nothing good in this house'...ha.ha.  you have heard that before.   It is somewhere around five a.m., it is a Thursday all day and I have high hopes of going off for a little look around to see what is out there. 

I had a good yesterday although the mind is changing and I am not remembering ...guess that goes with age...and I am getting to 'that' age....don't like it but there is not much one can do about it but take one day as it comes and make it the best one can....good words, now to make it happen...smile.

Right this minute it is pitch black out my window.  The worker cars are moving in slowly and there is only one light on in the hospital windows showing a lovely little Christmas tree, all lit up with a big star shining brightly. A new day begins and will unfold as it goes and we will find out what we want to do as well as what we have to do.    So, I wish you a good day, all day, and I hope you have your list ready and your shoes on so you can go out your door and finish up that list.   Maybe a trip to a book store and find out what the latest best seller is.  I have a reader on my list.  Maybe the candy store and see what is special this year and buy some for my dish and maybe a little extra for those who stop in. 

So, wake up, get up, get dressed and put your shoes on Lucy don't you know your in the city..la, la, la....ha..ha...been awhile since I sang that little ditty.   Have yourself a day to remember. Be good, be kind, be YOU.

Hump Day!!

Coffee....aah!!!  What would I do without my morning cup of coffee....I'd hate to find out...smile.

Good morning.  How are you this morning?  I am not awake,but working on it...the eyes are open, the mind still asleep but it is wake up time and the blinds are open to a black outside, night light on in the hospital building and it is nice to see the lights that trim the roof top and the little Christmas tree all aglow in one of the hospital windows, but other than that it is pure black out there.  I am not sure about the weather as I think rain is in the forecast.  I hear the words 'government shut down' so the games begin ..once again....idle threats get us nowhere but the Washingtonians think it does.   

My yesterday was a quiet day and quiet days are good for us.  I find  my mind is changing a little more each day but at this age it is an accepted fact and there is little one can do to change getting old, it is a good thing really....as some wise person would say, 'it beats the alternative'....

No, I am not ready for Christmas, but then I never am..I am one of those last minute shoppers as I remember I didn't finish my list but only thought I did.   Age is wisdom someone said...um...wonder what they were thinking about!!!

So...a new week, a new day today, rain in the forecast and a list to make so I do not miss anyone but the usual 'what to buy' for that one person is always a challenge.  I still think socks are the best gift, the louder the better, ha.ha.ha....

Coffee is gone, cup is empty...where did all that coffee go....well, I need a refill and I am going out into my kitchen and refill my cup, hunker down in my chair, watch the news and put my feet up for another hour or so and then I'll be ready for a new day....or maybe a short snooze...smile!!

Go, have yourself a day you will remember for a long time to come.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....make your new day the best one yet.   Hugs to all.

Tuesday, all day

Good morning...a new Tuesday to find things to do and places to go.   The sky is changing from night blackness to a beautiful blue with a few dark streaks as daylight comes.  No movement in the trees....quiet...silence out there...no worker cars coming in as the day workers are already in and working.  There is one Christmas tree shining bright and beautiful in one of the hospital windows very pretty, makes me smile.   It is tiny and has a huge star on top.  A new day, have no special plans but that doesn't mean I cannot make some...have to wake up and put on my 'thinking cap'....been awhile since you heard that expression...smile!!

So I have an empty coffee cup, an empty chair and they both need filling..smile.

I wish you a day that is special, fun, filled with loving folks who cannot wait to share time with you.   Get your Christmas list out and check it so you do not miss anyone...Shop until you drop and don't forget the wrapping paper.   A package of bows will help. 

Make your today special, just like you.    I am off for a refill, feet up, news on and will hunker down for awhile longer.   Lazy is good!!   Bye for now, I'll be back...smile!!!

A New Week Begins!!!

Monday morning, Monday morning, la, la, la,...foggy, almost a rain spot or two on the tarmac, wants to rain but has not made its mind....trees are still,  no breeze at all.  The start of a new week, wonder what is in store for us...we are about to find out..smile!!!

I have dressed but no shoes on;  yuck, want to be Huckleberry Finn and go without shoes;  slippers are not all bad, but bare feet have a story all their own..smile!!

One of the night workers from the hospital wing has keys in hand as he approaches his car, getting ready to back out and home to snooze awhile...has to be hard to be a night worker but then I guess they get used to it. 

I am about to warn you that my mind is changing, slowing down, getting used to this age and not really liking it but it is working and that is what is important....I am  sure that I am not going to brag about how long I've been around...when I get to the Methuselah age I'll start to brag.  Come to think of it, I don't have far to go...ha.ha.ha....

So, I have said my good morning, hope your day is wonderful, like you....and I am off to my easy chair, a little more television and then off to lunch.   I am hungry so am trying hard not to 'nosh';  that is so easy to do..smile.

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....give a little, get a lot...smile.    Hugs...come to mind......a little smooch on the cheek always feels good...GO!!! Have yourself a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

Sunday morning

Good Sunday morning, pitch black outside my window, cannot tell the sky from the earth and the beauty of this morning is a tiny Christmas tree that is all lit up and shining bright along with a big star in a window over in the hospital wing...very lovely.  There is a trail of lights along the roof top, all yellow, would be nice to add a little Christmas color but 'gold' is good...smile.

Yesterday was the Christmas Tea at the Gallery and Lois and I went and enjoyed it.  The goodies are all homemade and delicious as is the tea and I would venture to say that we all had a very good time. 

There is blackness out my window so you cannot tell the earth from the sky, shadows, dark and mysterious, and the folks must be sleeping in as there are few lights on over there in the hospital wing.   It is Sunday after all, a day to sleep in...for some, and then there are others like me who wake up and get up even if they do not have to; bad habits prevail...ha.ha.

So to sum things up, the Tea was a success and a big thank you goes out to the crew who work so hard to make it so.   It is a new day, Sunday, and hopefully it is going to be a good one.  I have no special plans....as yet...smile....but I am sure something will come up.   So.....go....be good, be kind, be gentle and share YOU with those you love and like.   Make your today one to add to your memory bank....put a little love and laughter in your life, then relax and enjoy the day....all day.   Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

At this time of the morning, not quite five thirty a.m., the sky is dark, no shading between the earth and the sky.  Across the way, in the hospital wing there are two windows that have the shades up and the lights on.  One has a lovely little Christmas tree about two foot tall and it is lit up with a big beautiful star on top, the other shows the occupant laying there still, probably woke up and decided it was too early and went back to sleep forgetting the shades are open.  A few worker cars are coming in and parking on 'my' side so they are right under my window.  It is pitch black so I really cannot see them until they open the car door then get lost in the darkness as they cross the tarmac to the doorway.   A new day, a Saturday and there is a Tea at the Gallery today.  They are always well represented, food is delicious as is the hot tea and the company always good.  Something to look forward to.

So....I have places to go, things to do and some words to share tomorrow.   I hope your today is wonderful, like YOU....I hope you have a good day ..all day.  I wish you a beautiful sunshine day.   And....there is no reason you cannot enjoy a tea party of your own...put on the kettle...invite a friend in and have a treat or two with your cuppa...smile.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle, make your seconds count.  Hugs to all.

Post Two this morning!!

I was about to close off and go for a refill, hunker down in my chair and watch the news but I looked out of the window to a scene that I want to share as it is really very beautiful..stillness of the early morning; probably around five thirty a.m. and there is not a sign of a breeze.  The trees are still and the sky is a soft blue with a tinge of darker blue running through, and quiet prevails.  Silence...early morning quiet, so soft, so all encompassing as it surrounds you with a beauty all its own.  A new day begins....a day for love, hope and sharing.

Enjoy today.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, and have a day to remember.

Friday Morning

Good morning!!! I have one eye open  I am really not awake but here I sit and the computer only works when the fingers work and the mind....mind????  what mind?   I think mine is still asleep...and I am looking at the blackness of early morning, night is moving back slowly and I cannot tell where the sky begins and ends as it is still pitch black outside.   I am in no hurry, coffee cup needs refilling and my mind needs to awaken.....a new day a Friday, and I am not sure I want to be up and about so early....I do not have to....just bad habits...smile!!!

Today is laundry day so it will be good to get that done and over with.  I am still waiting for the day of disposable clothing, guess not in my lifetime.   I think Adam and Eve had the right idea, a few fig leaves and all was well....smile.

So it is Friday and there are places to go and things to do today.   The Christmas chores are lining up;   cards, stamps, shopping ....the needs and wants to be checked....The best gift of all is still the same....'time with YOU"....so we cannot always have what we want but we can cherish the memories and work at finding time to share when we can.   Time with YOU is always the best of times.

Go....have yourself a day that will stay in your memory bank.   A good deed, a hug or two, a smile always....practice, practice, practice!!!

My love and good wishes for a bright and beautiful day.  Go....make it happen.

Thursday ...all day!!

Night time is still out my window but then it is not much past five a.m., some folks wake up to a private ring that says early is good;  I could argue but it would not do any good as it is now a life time habit which I don't think I can break but then do I really want to....Nope!!!  I am happy being up and awake, or almost, as it is really the only time I get to see the no light of day and have to wait for it to come.   The worker cars are arriving slowly.  The window shades of the hospital wing are still down and a huge truck is slowly coming into the alley way.  A new day is about to begin but first the coffee cup is empty and I need a refill....

do you know that fig bars taste good early in the morning...they do!!

 It must be cold outside as it is a bit cold here in the big window where my computer is;  can't miss anything..ha, ha....

I notice the workers coming in are very good about driving in slowly and silently.  They are thoughtful and caring and you never hear a 'hot' motor, silence is the name in use.   Having to get up and out by five a.m. has to be hard, they probably are still half asleep and in no hurry to wake up to a new work day...especially when it is pitch black out there.  The hardest thing for me is seeing that old lady's reflection in the window....wonder who she is....ha.ha....

My coffee is so good...my special treat is gone and it was delicious and now to blog about ??? who knows....well, I guess I have already said all I have today this morning with the exception of wishing you a day that is bright and beautiful...so go, have yourself a day to remember.....be good ...be kind...be gentle....be YOU!!!   Spread a little love, a little joy, a little brightness wherever you go today....Hug a lot!!!!  Share you with those you care about.   AND...."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...courage to change the things I can an the wisdom to know the difference."  GO!!!!  Have yourself a good day, all day!!

Wednesday afternoon!!!

My little block calendar says it's Wednesday Afternoon, no date, no month, no idea about important stuff, just that it is afternoon....well, I knew that....been busy catching up with paper...you know cards, letters, writings, Christmas add on that no one reminds you of until it is almost too late....smile.   So I have sent the last several hours doing 'paper' work...smile.   caught up???? um...almost..ha.ha.!!!

It is a lovely Fall day;   not really cold but colder than it has been so we know that a change is about to take place.  The trees are still, no breeze is good;  it is cold out there but bearable, not that chill that goes through your heaviest coat.  As I said, I have been busy with paper work so am now ready to blog ...but..there is nothing to blog about...ha.ha.    I went shopping at the dollar store and found a few things I could used.   They do have cookies and such and they are not expensive fancy ones but are eatable and I like to have a snack with my hot coffee.  It is quiet around here, even the outside area is quiet, nothing moving in or out...not time....it will come and all at once there will be a lot of movement as the working folks head for home.   My shoes are off.  I am going to hunker down in my chair for awhile, watch some television and do a lot of nothing...I am beginning to like that more and more...um....wonder what that says about me...ha.ha.  don't tell...I will keep it all a secret.  But, a word to the wise is in order as I find the mind changing and not to my liking....I think 'retention' is the first to lighten up;  as to what actually gets lost in the shuffle is going to be an interesting find.   

So a lot of things did get accomplished.  Lunch out with Pat was fun.  I think she had had enough of me and was ready to drop me off so she could attend to some chores of her own.  She is so very good to me.   I am one lucky lady.
I forgot to buy a birthday card for Christine....um...maybe I can get out again tomorrow and find a good one...something that tells her how wonderful she really is. So, if you have a few minutes take time out to sing Christine a Happy Birthday...December 10th....a good day coming up  so get in tune...smile.

I'm off to have a refill of my hot black coffee.   I think I'll try one of the cookies I bought but didn't open yet...maybe I should leave it that way...smile.   You know what happens, one leads to two and on an on...ha.ha. 

Thanks for the visit.   I am off for my easy chair,   coffee and cookies to imbibe in, and feet up...poor me...ha.ha.ha.ha.....

love you and leave you for now.    Have a good rest of your day.

Good Tuesday Morning!

Sunshine.....frost on the roof top across the way, two birds on the roof top, one large and one small sitting quietly watching the cars coming in and parking for the day.   It is quiet.   The trees are not moving at all.  A winter morning.

I had a telephone morning;  a visit with a friend and it is always wonderful.  We go back a long way, worked together, chummed about for a lot of years and have enjoyed a friendship of long standing;  how lucky I am.

I heard from my daughter who is going down to the boat to pick out some fresh fish for us.  It is always delicious and tasty and really ...really good...smile.  Healthy too.   So I am looking forward to a tasty dinner....I am in high hopes I'll be invited for dinner but it could be I will have my share dropped off to cook myself...smile...well you know what living in high hope does....

Looking at the frost on the roof top across the way makes me feel cold.  I noticed the trees are about as rusty looking as they can be;  not a bad shade, but green is warmer..smile.  Fall has turned into Winter so we will be busy keeping warm and finding indoor sports...smile.

The clock is moving slowly this morning or else I am just hungry; that must be it as I was up and awake a little after five a.m. and I usually have something to eat and now it seems like it was a very long time ago since I ate..I'm hungry....and it is not time to go up for lunch yet....I wonder if a peppermint will help....

So....go...have yourself a good day, all day.   I hope you find all the good things you want for your list  I hope you find a bargain or two.   I hope you enjoy today.  I hope for a lot of things...and hoping that you have a g r e a t day  is one of them.

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Monday Morning La, la, la!!!!

Good morning.  It is Monday, the start of a new week and I am betting a busy one.  There is much to do when the holidays come and there is a chore or two to do before the day is over.    I need to get serious and make a list so I do not forget anything;  the experts are right, 'the mind is the first to go'....mine seems to wander more lately so this getting older stuff is not nonsense, a prize pain in the butt would be more like it.

I need to take the march of time seriously as the way I am spending it now you would think I had time to waste and we know we never have time to waste.   I'll make a list today, that will be the incentive to get things done.  Now if the magic fairy would tell me who needs or wants what, I could get my shopping done but I have a feeling I am not about to move fast today and will be lucky I cross one or two off my list.   Shopping is fun when you know what you want to buy, but when you have to think and make decisions and are not sure, well that is a 'horse of another color....wonder where that expression came from.

So, go, have yourself a good day, all day.    Making a list doesn't mean you have lost your 'marbles' ;  it just means you have something to cross out and know you have not forgotten anyone.....so go shop til you drop and don't forget wrapping paper and ribbon.   It is so nice to have something to do.....ha.ha....love you, more every day....go...have some fun today.  Hugs to all.

Sunday All Day!!!

Good morning.  It is pitch black out my window as the sky and earth meet; no wind, nothing moving, quiet....silence....a reflection in the window glass shows a little old lady with glasses on the end of her nose, frowning, not awake yet..smile!!

What is wonderful is the color in the sky, the dark shade of the clouds is floating over the tree tops as the tree tops are reflected in the sky.  It is amazing what you can see when you really look...smile.

I have no new news.   I have been on the quiet side.   and....that is good!! 

I am going to refill my coffee cup.  I am going to head for my easy chair....the television is on and someone is babbling away and I am not even listening.   I need to find a station with something 'good' on.

I wish you a wonderful, beautiful, restful Sunday doing all that you wish to do.  Laid back, lazy, is not all bad for the mind and the body.  It needs a little rest between the daylight hour that we rush through.   Sunday really is suppose to be a day of rest.....and we should enjoy it and be thankful there is a day to call our soul our own.   

Hot coffee, hassock at the ready, wishing you and yours a day to remember.  Go...be loving...be useful....be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Saturday, December 1, 2018

It is Saturday Morning!!!

Good morning.  Saturday all over again, didn't we just have one?  I think so but with time flying one can hardly keep up with the daily changes, so "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change  courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"....the worker cars are coming in slowly, one light on in the hospital wing, the shade is up and I see a tiny Christmas tree all lit up and the television is on.  A new Saturday to enjoy and I am not making any plan as I was out and about all day yesterday with my girls enjoying a gaming trip, nope, didn't win a nickel, but the fun is in the trying.

Right now silence prevails;  there are a couple of cars parked, one window lit with pretty pink lights, not the window itself but a little tree inside.  My coffee cup is empty so I need a refill, open both eyes, put on the television and put my feet up for awhile as a new Saturday has arrived.  So, fill your cup with what you love most, add a tasty bit and find a seat for awhile.   Time to let the black of night disappear and a new bright and beautiful day to enjoy....so...enjoy it...smile!!!

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday All Day!!!! S M I L E!!!!!

Good morning, I think, it is till pitch black out my window so I can't tell, although the light on the building across from me shows a left over puddle in the street, cars are parked already and a new day begins for all of us....I'm not ready, my coffee cup is empty....off for a refill...be right back!!1

AAH!!!! Coffee, black, hot and so good.   A good start for a Friday, a good day as it leads into a nice long weekend.   I have no plans in mind at the moment but once I wake up, I am sure I'll start plotting and planning for a few things to do today.   I needs some cards and that always reminds me of card shopping days with old friends when we would stand in the aisle and read the cards out loud, laughing and having such a good time.   I think we were good for business as some folks stopped to listen and laugh with us.   Yes, I know, I have told that tale a time or two but it is a truism..smile!!

So, it is Friday morning and it is pitch black out my window ...and...I am almost awake..smile.    My coffee cup is empty again....so I will love you, leave you, wish you a good Friday and a good shopping day.  Make your list, check it twice or more so you do not forget anyone.   What to buy???  Who knows, you will find something once you start looking...Go!!! Have your self a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

A New Thursday morning!!

Good morning.   It is pitch black out my window, a light on in one of the hospital rooms across the way, the tarmac looks dry and no cars are coming in yet.  A new day, a Thursday all day, um...wonder what is in store for us.  We are about to find out.

My coffee is hot and delicious, my raisin toast is long gone and it was tasty.  I want to share some words with you but there really is nothing new and different so I will wish you a good today ...go and have a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Share YOU with those you love and like.   A good deed or two should help make the day go bye sweet rather than sour.   

As for me, no plans, a down day is always good as it gives one time to catch up with themselves.   So...go ...put your coffee or tea on and sit awhile.  Turn on the news and listen to what has transpired on the night.   It would be nice to hear some news that was uplifting but the studio seems to think we need gloom and doom to survive.   I am hearing we are going to have a few heavy showers but then it will turn colder and clearer for the weekend, so it isn't all bad..smile.

Holiday shopping comes to mind and I have no ideas on what I want to buy for gifts this year;   a looking expedition is in store and maybe, just maybe, something will pop up and want to come home with me and I can cross a name of my list.....gift shopping is never easy and it would be much easier if we had a hint or two for a want instead of a need...smile.

Make your today a good one...be YOU and share the day with lots of love and laughter.  I'm off.....well you already know that..ha.ha.   catch up and let me in on what you are up to today.   Hugs to all.

A New Hump Day!!!

Good Wednesday morning, pitch black out my window, only a couple of cars in so far and silence.  There is no difference between the earth and sky as it is very early and the workers have not come in as yet  for any activity.  There are no lights on in the hospital wing and that is a good thing.  I am up, maybe not all the way awake yet but working on it.   I didn't go anywhere or do anything exciting so there is little to write about.   Boring has its moments...smile!!

My coffee is good, hot and tasty.   There is nothing 'good' in this house;   there was but it disappeared.   Maybe if I put a little jelly on a piece of toast it will make me feel like I am having a treat this morning....or not...my sweet tooth is not easily satisfied as the more sugar it gets the more it wants...wonder if you have that same problem...smile!!! 

The pavement is wet out there this morning.   Isn't there a song about "I love a rainy day"...I think so, don't remember all the words or I'd sing to you....smile!!

My cup is empty so I am off for a refill, but not before I wish you a good day, all day, and hopefully a bit of fun thrown in.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU.

Catch up, I look for a word or two from YOU every day.  Hugs to all.





Tuesday, November 27, 2018

Tuesday morning

It is pitch black out my window, night light on the hospital wing but to dark to see if the little bird is up on the roof top.  The worker cars are coming in slowly, almost reluctantly as they creep in looking for their favorite parking spot.  No lights on in the hospital wing, oops, I take that back as I took another peek and there is one room with light so someone is an early riser.   Don't go away, I am off for a refill, my coffee cup is empty...um....I don't remember drinking all that hot coffee....you have heard of sleep walking, well I guess I am a sleep drinker.....good think it is just coffee...smile.

At this time of the morning, which is a little after five a.m., a Tuesday morning and there are a few puddles on the road so we must have had a little rain in the night.   It is amazing how quiet the cars are that are coming into the lot right now.  You cannot hear the motors at all and there are no hot rod drivers so all stays peaceful and the folks can turn over and get in another hour or two.   I am a creature of bad habits...early to rise....do not have to;  just do.....

Daughter Christine wants to shoe shop today but I don't want to.   At least not this time of the day, ha, ha, the stores are a far cry from being opened.   I have one sore toe so think I should wait to go shoe shopping;  now to convince her.

So, today is a new day, and I am hoping it i going to be a 'good' day.     I need to shop for a few special cards, come to think of it all the cards are special...smile...so I think card shopping is going to be in the works today.  But right now is coffee time, wake up time, and hopefully a clear day as the residue from the rain in the night is till showing on the tarmac.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle and make your day one to remember.   Hugs to all.

Monday, November 26, 2018

Monday, Monday . . . A new week starting!!!

Good morning.  It is pitch black outside, A few folks up over in the hospital wing, cars are parked and it looks like it has been raining as the tarmac is all wet.  It is quiet.   This time of the morning silence reigns.   A new week begins and it is time to think about Christmas and all that it entails.   We will be making out lists, checking them so we do not forget anyone and think of shopping, one of the toughest jobs we hold.  Finding the right 'item' for the person who has everything...smile!!!!   Christmas is a time of love, a time to share, a time to finish up the old year and get ready for a new one.   Time....it has a way of leaving before we catch up with it.    A year ending gives us time to think of what we did accomplish, and what we still want to complete, important things like broken friendships, keeping ones word, good deeds, promises and all of the important facts that go into making out lives better. So, I will love you and leave you to get on with your day . . . be good, be kind, be YOU and make today the best one yet.   GO!!!!!  Be a beacon of light!!!d  Hugs to all.


Sunday, November 25, 2018

Sunday Morning

Good Morning!!!  It has to be all of five a.m. and I am awake, coffee in hand and the start of a 'good morning' which is pitch black at the moment and there is nothing moving so it is dark, peaceful, no noise of any kind and not one light on in the hospital wing.   The start of a new Sunday.....um....wonder what is in store for us????

My coffee cup is empty, there is nothing good to eat and it is to early to cook...besides I would rather have something sweet and tasty like a cinnamon bun but there is none and toast does not have the same flavor so it doesn't 'hit the spot' but...beggars  cannot be choosers so I will stop my griping and groaning and make do...well, what else can I do???? 

So, I will wish you a good day, all day, doing what you like to do best.   I will go and refill my coffee cup, hunker down in my easy chair and turn on the television for a little morning news. 

Have yourself a good day....catch up with yourself.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.


Saturday, November 24, 2018

Saturday at or about six a.m.

Good morning.  Pitch blackout my window, night light on the side of the hospital wing, cars parked, nothing moving in or out at the moment but it is early, think about five  A.M.  My coffee cup is empty so hang on a minute as I go for a refill....

AAH!!!  Coffee, the early morning wake-upper , hot, tasty, and delicious. 

It is Saturday morning about five thirty, early to bed, early to rise which is suppose to make us wealthy and wise;  so much for that...smile!!

So.....having no new news, nothing to write about, coffee to drink, eyes to open....television has happy music on....how dare they at this time of the morning...ha...ha.

So...I wish you a good morning, a good day, a special day filled with fun and  laughter with a hug or two thrown in.   Make your day a 'best' one....give a hug, get a hug, you know the drill...ha.ha.    "One for the money, one for the show, two to get ready and go man go...:   ha...ha.   well singing is good for you early in the morning, try it you may find you like it...ha.ha..ha.....

Have a Saturday to remember!!!!  Hugs to all.

The Day After the Feast....burp, burp, burp!!!!

Good Friday, the day after the feast and the festivities and the food and the stuffing of more than the turkey...smile....

Not hungry today, wonder why???  could be I am like the Thanksgiving Turkey and am stuffed...talk about good eats....wow.....not one complaint to be heard .

While I was up for lunch today, and I really was not hungry at all, some family elves crept into my apartment and left we with a huge beautiful bright red plant that makes the room come alive.  Goodies find their way in and not a sign of the magic elves that are coming in and out.   So I not only have reasons to be thankful but I have reasons to feel loved and cared for and that alone is worth the whole world with a fence around it..smile!!! 

So, I am thankful, grateful, well loved and have nothing to complain about...oh wait a minute, maybe I can think of something....ha.ha.ha.ha....no...I truly am blessed.

So, thank you my magic elves, I know who you are and I will not get mad but you can bet I'll work on getting even...ha.ha.   hugs, love and don't forget I'll treat to a dinner out when you have the time....just let me know and I will put my shoes on.

My love, my thanks, I am waiting for you to come back.  Soon is good!!!

Hump Day!!

AAH!!!! Coffee...Coffee.....good, black, hot and tasty the wake-upper of the morning and I have nothing to complain about....well, I  will think of something..ha,ha....nope...nothing comes to mind as it is pitch black out my window, the night light is still on outside the hospital wing and one room has the shades up and someone is watching television hunkered down and comfortable probably wish for a nice hot breakfast to be delivered...wonder what they serve over there, but, unwilling to find out...healthy and hardy is best for a new day ... and, I hope you are all healthy and hardy this morning.

Dinner out last evening with my girls and friends,  Kira and Bill , a couple we love to share time with.   The food was good as was the service and we had a good time, reasons to laugh out loud and enjoy a couple of hours. 

I see the road outside is a bit wet, must have had a sprinkle or two in the night.  It is pitch black out there now so I will have to wait to see what is in store weather wise today.   A little rain wouldn't hurt but then neither would a little sunshine...smile!!

My coffee cup is empty, the tv is on, it is much to early to be up and about so I am going to go to my easy chair, feet up on the hassock and watch the 'boob tube' awhile and then I might get motivated for a new day.  No rush, no fuss....just time to wake up.

I hope you are feeling tip top today and have a day you will remember with love and laughter.  Be good....be kind...be gentle...be YOU!!!   Make someone you know and love smile today just because you are in their day...remind yourself good deeds are good for you....and those you wish to share yourself with. 

Off for a refill, feet up, tv on, time to relax.... have to go and find something to watch on television but first things first...coffee refill....coffee, coffee...ha,ha.   well something has to wake me up.

Have yourself a good day ...all day...be good, be kind, be gentle and share YOU with those you love and like.    Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning

It is a good thing I have a little block calendar that tells me the day and not the date so I am in the dark as to what "time" it is and at this time of the morning, I could care less...smile.    I have one eye open, coffee cup is empty so if you will excuse me, I am off for a refill...and then you have my attention.

The worker cars are parked on my side this morning, but it is to dark to tell what they look like.  It is silent, at the moment still, no noise of any kind.   My coffee is hot and tasty and that should help get the brain in gear .

We have a new Tuesday to fill;  um....wonder what is in store for us...something good I hope.    I have no special plans ...yet....   I'll come up with something...but what???  I'll let you know when I find out...smile!!  I do know we are going to visit some friends this evening and that is always fun.  Meanwhile I have hours of the day to fill and once I wake up, I will get busy...first some breakfast, I'm hungry...wake up hungry so that is what keeps my girlish figure and , as usual, there is 'nothing good in this house';   meaning no sweets..ha.ha.  .... but toast isn't all bad...doesn't have the allure of a big fat jelly doughnut but it serves a purpose...but leaves one wanting to fill the sweet tooth.   Oh well....beggars cannot be choosers.....I know what to put on the top of my grocery list.

So I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you love to do.   Go....make this a banner day and one you will remember with smiles.    Hug a friend or two;  cherish the ones you get and be as good as you can be...there are good deeds yet to be done.   Have a busy day, a good day, one you want to remember for a long time to come.   Start by being a 'friend'...smile....As for me, I am going to love you and leave you and look for something 'good' to eat.....'there is nothing good int his house'....ha,ha....you have heard that before.   Go....make today special, just like YOU.

Hugs to all.

Monday Morning!!!

Monday morning, la, la, la,.....a new day, a new start of a week, a clear light blue sky, no breeze at all, trees are still, hospital shades are down and the worker cars all parked under my window.  A new week begins.  A new day called Monday and hours yet to fill...we can do it...lets all try to make it a good one.  Be kind, be loving, be YOU!!!

The sky is a very light blue, almost white this morning.  The bird is on the roof top, probably sleeping as it doesn't seem to move at all.  There is morning frost on the roof top of the hospital wing, one small area and the rest is clear.  I wonder why that one spot is frosted.  The shades are still down, the bird feeders are not in use, guess that one bird that is on the roof top is not interested in having breakfast out this morning.  and so....a new day begins.

I wish you a good day ....all day.   Busy is good so stay busy and start with a hug for a friend or two;  family members included...smile!!!   Go....be YOU...be Good, be Kind, be Gentle!!!  Have yourself a good day, all day.....one that fills your memory banks with good thoughts, leading to good deeds....and you will SHINE!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning

Good morning.  Black outside my window, night light on, cars parked, nothing moving and quiet prevails...silence....quiet is good!!

A new Sunday, hard to believe a week has gone bye making the holidays loom and the making of lists grow as we get ready for them.   The hardest part is not having access to our far away family and friends, but a call and a verbal hug isn't all bad..smile.

I was out and about for awhile yesterday, did a bit of junking but didn't find anything to bring home.   Daughter Patricia invited me to watch some Hallmark movies and that is always fun.   We ordered a pizza and you know that was delicious and filling...look Ma no dishes...ha.ha.

So a new week begins,  news from friends which is a gift by itself as they are busy with much to do and having them take time out means so much.  How lucky I am.  So....I have an empty coffee cup, ate the last doughnut and wish I had not..smile.    No lights on in the hospital wing, cars moving in slowly and a new day begins.

I wish you a good day, all day....catch up with yourself ...make a list and check it twice...la, la...and have a good day, all day...one you want to remember.

Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning!!!

The sky is a beautiful mix of blue; real light at the top of the trees then it shades out to different blues from light to dark shades, almost like before the rain, but it is early and has a way to go before we can tell what kind of a day we will have.  It is silent.  Nothing moving.  One light on in a hospital room across the way, the rest is pitch black and the folks are sleeping,

I am hoping to go junking today.  I really have enough junk as is, but a little more just adds to the mix ..ha.ha. 

Stillness is magic as it allows the brain to go off on a journey of its own.  The size and shapes of the treetops are truly amazing and the morning silence is a wonder.  The bird is on the roof top in its shadow coat as you can hardly see it unless you know what you are looking for;  knowing where it sits all the time helps. 

So.....time for a refill of my coffee.   The cup is empty....aah...coffee!!!   A blessing from above...smile.    I hope to go junking today and find a treasure....I'll let you know...smile.

I hope your day is special, like YOU....enjoy your seconds, make good use of them and share YOU with those you love and like.   Practice on being a friend today and your day will turn into sunshine and smiles.    Share YOU with those you love and like....add a new person to your group today, someone new and different , someone who will make you sit up and take notice who adds a bit of love and laughter into your day.  Someone needs a hug today....go....share a hug or two.

Make YOUR TODAY worthwhile......Hugs to all.

Good Friday Morning!!!

My little desk calendar says "Now it's Friday Morning";  good to know...heading for a new weekend and I have to wake up and find out what I am up to this weekend....dinner in or out with my girls....I'll find out a bit later if we are to go out or staying in, right now it is pitch black out there and the worker cars are coming in slowly.  No lights on over in the hospital wing but the outside light is on.  My coffee is hot and tasty;  'there is nothing good in this house'..ha.ha...you have heard that before.   Friday has a nice ring to it, a weekend starting and the weather has been just right..smile.   I didn't do anything exciting yesterday, a sort of laid back day, but I am open to an invitation and have no trouble putting my shoes on.

If my mind is on the right track, granddaughter Erin is having a  birthday and that is cause to celebrate.   I am not sure where her favorite eating place is but I am sure we will wine and dine her and celebrate a new year....so.....I wish you a day building good memories, good health a bit of wealth and a hug or two.   Go....spread a little sunshine....and, as for me, I am off for a refill....hot coffee...aah!!! feet up, TV on and a slow wake up time to a new day.   I hope your day is 'as nice as you'...smile....couldn't be nicer if it tried....YOU are special...I know...I said so.   ha, ha...go....be YOU and have a good day, all day.Hugs to all.

Thursday, November 15, 2018

Thursday all day!!

Good morning!!!  Pitch black out my window;  silence;  nothing moving; quiet and so dark you cannot see the sky...but...it is early and the workers are coming in slowly.   My coffee cup is empty so you know I will love you and leave you for a refill.   

AAH!!!! Um, um....good...hot coffee, black, a wake up drink that makes the taste buds sit up and take notice.  ...smile!!

Now if I only had something to write about.  There is no new news.  Yesterday was a quiet day and I didn't go anywhere or do anything to brag about.  Quiet days are actually good for us, gives the body and mind a rest time.   But...being creatures of habit, we grouse and groan anyway all because we enjoy the challenge of something to do..smile.   

The weather is changing, time to get the warm woollies out...long john time before we know it....ha, ha...bet you don't even own a pair.

So, I will love you and leave you to what I hope is a good day..all day.   I wish you good health, happiness, friends to hug, a sparkle in your eye and a lot of love in your heart.   You know the drill....'be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU'.....Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!!

Wednesday has a nice ring to it;  mid week, and the sky is a beautiful soft blue
the trees are still and there is a bit of a mystery as the worker cars are already parked for the day and the blinds are beginning to go up in the hospital wing...a new day, let us hope for a 'good' day for all.

Prayer of Serenity:  God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Okay, we are all set for the start of a new day...hump day..Wednesday...mid week...and there are places to go and things to do...shopping for a birthday card and that is always fun.  I remember times when a friend and I would stand at the card counter exchanging funny cards and laughing out loud until we had a few folks join us and the clerk smiling as the cards disappeared from stock. 

My coffee cup is empty and that will never do.  I cannot expect the brain to awaken without a sip or two.   So, off to refill my cup, get on with a word or two and you know that I am wishing YOU and good day, all day, filled with happy thoughts, good deeds and loving smiles.   Go...be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Tuesday Evening Has a Nice Ring to it!!!

It is almost time to say goodnight.  If Pa was still with us, he would be walking around the room winding his clock and setting the alarm for five a.m., the start of his new day and the long walk to work..but not before he had made the coffee and had a bite.   A soft man, a loving man, and he rarely leaves the mind and heart as time takes us on a journey of our own.   October was his month and it did fit him to a 't';   a soft man, a wise man, and above all a very loving man.  He had the magic in his fingers for growing flowers of every kind;  special plants;  even weeds took on a magic of their own when he touched them.  October brings out memories that have a very special place in the heart.  How lucky we are to have memory banks to help up accept the changes in our lives and give thanks for the gifts they brought into out lives. 

Today was a good day, no complaints...ha.ha.  who would listen??  The weather was soft, cool, a Fall day.  Grocery shopping was fun, quick and easy as the list was short and of course 'sweet'..smile.   well, you know I have a sweet tooth!!

It was a 'good day' and a hug or two didn't hurt at all.    I hope your day was a good one.  I hope you shared you with those you love and like. 

I am looking at a tiny Christmas tree, all decorated and sitting in a corner making me smile.   Time flies, so it really is not to early to put it up.  I like looking at it anyway and I need to go look for a star for the top as I lost the one I had..or misplaced it and have not found out where I 'hid' it..smile.   So my spirit is alive and growing.....Christmas...doesn't that have a lovely sound????  I think so!!!

So..get in the mood and get started...Hallmark Christmas shows;   decorations everywhere;  a few Bah Humbugs around and they just add a little challenge to make this holiday season the best ever.   I know, I know, we have to give thanks for the holiday season and celebrate Thanksgiving...the taste buds are singing....turkey, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce....yum.....I am really not ready...but...I can get ready, ha, ha.

Be good.  be kind... be YOU.   Hugs to all!!

Monday...Again!!!

Time....time sure goes bye so fast, weekend gone and a new week begins.  Monday morning, light sky, trees not moving and the blinds  are down in the hospital wing.  The worker cars are in and parked for the day and the little bird is on the roof top watching the world go bye.   It has turned sweater weather and the workers walk a bit faster from their car to the front door of the hospital wing.  One of the men folks is out walking his little 'hot-dog;  a cutie, long and lean and so happy to be out for an early morning walk.  I bet his master has a different tale to tell as the mornings are getting a bit cooler...smile.

Okay, ready....."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."  Go...have yourself a day to remember.

I am off for a coffee refill, snuggle in my easy chair and watch the news for awhile.   A new day and I have no special plans;  a cry that you hear every morning....I'll think of something after the morning chores are done.  Reach out and touch your family members, a friend or two and add a new person to your group, someone who needs a friend today.   Be good, be kind, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday, November 11, 2018

Good Morning!!

An interesting sky this morning, shades of very light blue, no movement in the trees, three cars parked on  my side of the driveway this morning and the little bird is on the roof top across the way...it is Sunday morning, probably around five a.m. and the day has a way to go before folks wake up for the new Sunday.  I am enjoying the bright blue of the sky showing through the trees, makes for a pretty picture and you can actually feel silence.  That will not last as the workers are beginning to come in.  The shades are down in the hospital wing and only one has opened the blinds and another has the light on but the shade is down.I have been awake for hours, tv is on, but I really haven't been paying attention.  If there is such a thing as being awake and asleep at the same time, I think I have found it...I snuggled in my easy chair and put my feet up on the hassock and stayed put but the call for morning coffee is strong and that meant a trip to the kitchen and ...aah...coffee...coffee...smile...the elixir to waking up.  I have to smile as I watch the workers walk in.  They have mastered a very slow walk..smile...if you are a betting person, you win, as they are really sleep walking.  It must be hard to get up before dawn, get dressed and get out in the early morning coldness unless you have a latte in hand and I bet they head for the nearest restaurant to get one.   Come to think of it, I am ready for a refill.  smile...and a chair sit...and more television, feet up, maybe a small snooze...it is Sunday all day and I don't have to hurry...come to think of it, my hurrying days are all but over...smile.

I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do and love to do....make someone, in your life, happy....hugs are a good start;  kind words help;   but a welcome smile does it all.   Have a good day...all day...smile a lot....love a lot...be a YOU to be happy and content as you share today.  Go....be YOU....make today the best one yet.  Hugs to all.

A New Saturday...um.....

Good Morning!!!  The sky is a soft blue and the trees are still.  The workers are in and have parked their cars on my side this morning.  There are two cars parked right now, one a creme color the other white and then empty spaces which will fill up quickly as the new day makes it way.   I have a little sign on my desk that changes the day and date every morning and it tells me it is Saturday...I know that..smile....but it is nice to have a reminder as the mind, at this age, seems to have a 'mind' of its own and I tag along to find out what I am suppose to be doing...day dreaming is fun...catching up with you is always fun and a full cup of hot coffee helps to wake the brain up and let me converse with you...smile!!!

There is something about the early morning hours that is restful.  The sky is a soft grey, hardly a shade of blue but working towards it as the night changes into day.  The trees are still with the exception of a few light branches that sway with a soft breeze.   A beautiful sight and the quiet adds to the beauty.  The little bird is on the hospital rooftop, the night light is still on, three cars parked, two creme colored and one white car so far.   A new day begins....a Saturday all day and I wonder what is in store for us....something good I hope.

I am off to watch television as it is time for the cowboys...smile.   you are a fan, I hope...smile!!!

Be good, be kind, be YOU and have a good day all day.   Don't forget a good deed or two and hugs are always needed and welcome.   Be a bright light today;  be all you can be and enjoy your seconds as they go bye so quickly.   Life is short at best so do not waste it...smile...kick up your heels and have some fun today...you know the old adage...'all work and no play'  . . . I am going to love you and leave you...off to make a shopping list as the cupboards are bared...not a cookie in this house....

Go....be you....have a day to remember!!
Hugs to all.

Friday Morning

Somewhere, hiding in the computer is a bit of writing I started and lost along the way....too early, not awake, fast fingers and lost words...oh well, start again...now what was it I said?????  I have no idea, I am not awake yet...smile!!!

The cars are moving in slowly, pitch black out the window, cannot see the earth from the sky and at this hour who cares??? ha, ha...I am not awake yet but working on it.

It is Friday, and I hope shopping day as there is 'nothing good in this house'..ha, ha....you have heard that before.   And...I function much better when I have something 'good' to go with my hot coffee. 

At this age I want to say the mind is flexible, but slowly losing some of the capability to function as clearly as it used to;   a fact that a lot of 'things' do not function as they used to...smile.

So Friday means getting ready for the weekend;  some things fun to do;  some things work to do;  some things shopping to do and until the sun comes up, I am not moving out of my easy chair until I have to..smile.

So...I wish you a good day, all day.   I wish you health...a bit of wealth...and some fun as you join family and friends.  Be good, be kind, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Thursday...all day!!!

Good morning.    My brain is slow this morning, doesn't want to wake up and join in the early morning light.  The sky is very  soft blue, almost white, and the trees are not moving at all.  The worker cars are all parked, under my window, a creme sport type car is out there looking beautiful as the regular black and grey hide in its light.   A new Thursday and it is very early so the brain is not awake to make plans for the day.   It may prove to be a down day, have some catch up work to do around here...ha.ha.   I think I said that yesterday and the day before and it does tell you that I am moving slower these days.   I did get to the Gallery meeting and enjoy the ladies.   There is always some uplifting conversations and always busy work to keep the hands and mind busy.   A lovely group of ladies and not a grouch in the bunch..smile!!

So, you are getting off easy today and I will go and get dressed, make my bed, maybe run a dust cloth around but not before I have a refill and listen to some news as I hunker down in my chair and in no rush to get on with the day.    Getting older does have an advantage or two..smile!!

So....go....have yourself a day to remember.   Be sure you do a good deed...be kind...be YOU.    Hugs to all.

Hump Day-Wednesday!!!

The morning sky is telling a tale this morning as it has a bit of light sky but also a lot of dark sky so it tells a tale of mystery.  Not a leaf stirring.  It is dark in the hospital wing, the night light is still on in the outside of the building and the workers cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.  The sameness of a morning  is good as a tale is hidden in the clouds, yet to be told.   Hump Day, mid week, and I am planning a quiet day as I was off and running yesterday having fun playing the rich mans game trying to win a bundle...haven't found out how that works yet but I still try..ha.ha.   Meanwhile the cloud cover this morning is fascinating as it is broken in small bits and pieces.  It has a lot of light blue but the darker clouds over rule it and make it look stormy out there.  Not a leaf stirring.   Picture clouds, the kind to have fun with.  The hospital wing is closed tight with the exception of one window with a bright light on.  Some one is awake.    Four of the parked cars parked on my side this morning are all light in color, two white, one beige, one grey;  can't see the ones further down but all look new and not a junker in the bunch.    yeah, I know I have said that once or twice before.   So having little or nothing in the line of new news, I am going to refill my coffee cup, feet up on the hassock, television on and sit quietly for awhile.   I wish you a 'good' morning, enjoy your morning choice of a hot or cold drink;  I prefer hot..coffee...aah!!!   So...I am off to do a lot of sitting for awhile and maybe, just maybe I'll motivate a  bit later....maybe!!   Go...have yourself a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

Tuesday, November 6, 2018

New Tuesday!!

Good morning!!!  It is a dark sky, no stars, no moon, no noise of any kind, even the car motors of the incoming workers are quiet, maybe five a.m. or less, I haven't looked at the clock...ha,ha...if I did, I'd be back under the covers...but...the body clock is awake and says it is time to get up and blog...blog!!! about???   I didn't go anywhere, or do anything exciting but the day went by fast and I have a brand new one to contend with.....shoe shopping...ooh!!! not fun, expensive and when you have 'long-fellows' it isn't easy to find 'a good looking shoe'.....but I am sure there is a pair waiting just for me and I'll be good for another year or two..ha.ha. 

The worker cars are coming in and I get a bit of the headlights as they park under my window.   I've been sipping my hot black coffee wishing for that some one thing to go with it but 'there is nothing good in this house';  have you heard that before?   ha..ha.  only a dozen times.

So....I am going to love you and leave you.  I hope your day is going to be one of your best yet.   Be good,  be kind, be gentle and lift the corners of your mouth...be a friend today...a good one....a loving one....one who makes the world light up when you walk in the door.

Go...be YOU and spread a bit of love and laughter.  Hugs to all.

And A New Week Begins!!!

Good Monday morning;  I think it is all of five a.m., maybe a bit later, but not by much.   The court yard is dark with the exception of the one night light on the side of the building.  If the birds are up there on the roof top it is to dark to see them...and I might add a bit too early to look..smile.

The start of a new week, um.....wonder what is in store for us . . . a bit of the good, the bad and the ugly...smile....and the thought comes to mind 'you only get out of it what you put into it' so that gives us a little food for thought. 

I am off for a refill, turn on the television and watch the news to see what happened in the wee hours.   . . .  hopefully some good news to offset the bad news, one never knows what the 'mix' will be.   I wish you a good day, all day. 

My coffee cup is empty....need a refill...aah...then feet up, tv on for awhile and a new day, a new week, the good, the bad, the ugly to contend with and a prayer or two to be able to handle it all.    So.....I wish you a 'good' week...'good' health....'a bit of wealth'...which you will share..smile.    what is that old song...'we aint got a barrel of money, maybe  its cloudy and sunny, but we'll travel along, singing a song, side by side" so...let us get on with our day and make it a good one.   Hugs to all.

Saturday, November 3, 2018

Saturday...again!!!

Time flies whether you are having fun or not;  it is Saturday morning around five a.m. and I am awake sitting here at the computer;  looking out into a driveway and I see a couple of lights on in two of the rooms across the way.  My coffee cup is full,  aah!!!! and I have open eyes but I don't think I am fully awake yet...but..working on it..smile.

The night light is shining on a car roof top which looks wet...um...wonder if we had a little rain in the night.  This is the time of morning when you cannot see the morning sky from the earth, it is all one, even the trees fade into the mix.  Quiet....silence...nice!!!

It is a new Saturday and I have not made any plans for today;  guess I will take what comes my way and see what develops ....If you are still snoozing....good....don't get up on my account...smile......grab a few more of those z's and hopefully enjoying a dream or two.  As for me, my coffee cup is empty so off for a refill and to blog.....hope your day is wonderful, filled with bright and beautiful people and events.....go....enjoy the day.  Hugs to all.



Friday, November 2, 2018

A New Friday Morning!!

Good morning.   Darkness out there in the court yard with the exception of a car or two finding its way to a parking spot.   No lights on in the building itself, it is early, and it is Friday and it is much to early to want to be up and about. 

How are you this morning?  I hope you are well, feeling good and ready for a new weekend.   Are you doing anything special?  Going places?   Take time to have fun and do something you have been wanting to do.   That tune is in my brain..."I'm making a list and checking it twice, going to find out who is naughty and nice...Santa Clause is coming to town"   . . . and you thought I forgot the words....So....it is shop until you drop time;  the list gets longer each year and choosing just the right gift is not always easy...but..you can and you will do it...smile.

Remember that 'good deeds' does not have a price tag;  so...get busy!!

I am off for a refill;  turn on the tv and see what happened during the night hours.   . . . and. . . I might even get in a snooze or two and wait for a little light in the skies.   I am humming...."I don't want to get up...I don't want to get up...it is to early in the morning!!"   and my cup is empty....horrors!!!   I am going for a refill, hunker down in my easy chair, turn on the television and think about getting 'motivated' some time soon....but not just yet!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday, November 1, 2018

Thursday Morning

Good Morning.   It is dark outside my window, no lights on in the hospital wing, a few small puddles on the ground and silence.   A new day to find things to do and places to go.  I have no special plans but I am sure I will think of something as the morning hours slip away.    Right now I am heading for a coffee refill, my cup is empty...um...how did that happen...smile!!!

It is too dark to see if the little bird has taken up its spot on the roof top across the way.  The night light is on and it shows the puddle on the ground, no, I am mistaken as it is a glare on a car rooftop that is shining under the night light.  The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.

Silence . . . a nice 'sound';   I am amazed at how the worker cars glide in and there is no loud motor noises. 

My coffee cup is empty so off I go for a refill, turn on the television and find out what has happened in our world during the night hours.   Thursday is a good day to catch up with yourself and regroup from all the Halloween activities...I hope you were lucky to have some little goblins at your door.  It was very quiet around here, the old folks settled in for the night and no one came knocking at the door for a goodie or two....I guess I will have to indulge to bulge as I have a lot of those little milky way bars....and I do like them, sorry to say....smile!!

Have yourself a new day filled with the challenges of getting out and about and having a 'bit of fun';   time to start that Christmas list and think....what shall I buy for????   Shopping...doesn't that have a nice ring to it?    What do you mean 'NO!!"   ha, ha. Go find your spirit and make good use of it..ha.ha.  remind me of that when I grouse about shopping.   I'm off for a coffee refill, television on, feet up for awhile longer and maybe even a little more snoozing before the day really begins.    Have yourself a day to remember.   Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!!

Good Morning, Hump Day, mid week, and time to celebrate all the spooks we know, ha, ha...How are you this morning?   The court yard is pitch black with the exception of one small light on the side of the hospital building across the court yard.  Cars are moving in and out so the night shift is going home for rest and the morning crew is coming in for a new day.   It is quiet around here, not a soul moving yet, no hurry, it is very early.

My coffee cup is empty, there is nothing good in this house and I am thinking of a nice be fat jelly doughnut but will settle for a piece of toast and some jelly if there is any left in the jar.   Good stuff just doesn't stay around here!!

I hope you have lots of little spooks visit you this Halloween.   Hopefully it will not rain but most years there is always a little shower or two to threaten those little ones, and a few big ones...smile....most folks here put out a dish of candy so you can help yourself as they hunker down and ignore all the 'work' entailed in handing out goodies.

I remember when we used to cook up doughnuts to give out and it was a hit of our neighborhood.   Ah, the good old days...memories of fun times.

I wish you a Happy Halloween...have fun and spook all you can.

Hugs to all.

A New Tuesday...all day!!

Good Morning.   It is pitch black outside my window, some cars are coming into the parking lot and settling in for the day.   Only one window has a light on and the blinds open , the rest of the windows are dark and the night light is still on.  It must be all of five a.m. so quiet prevails.  Silence really.  You can, if you are listening, hear the proverbial pin drop..smile.

It is Tuesday and a new day...wonder what is in store for us.  I have no special plans for today and that isn't all bad as one can never tell what will come about to make the day new and exciting.   Yesterday I got to poke around a store and see all of the Halloween decorations that were for sale.  My decorating for a holiday means filling the candy dish with the taste of the season...smile.

It wanted to rain, doesn't it always on Halloween?  I think so, if I remember some of the old times, I seem to remember it turning cold as well.   So Halloween is gone for another year and now we get ready for the big guns...smile....Thanksgiving and Christmas...Holiday time....busy time...fun time.  Remember some folks do no have family so be a good scout and invite them to your table. 

Meanwhile it is list time, so get busy and start your list....you will find just the right gift for that special person and if they have everything, and they usually do, give a donation to a local charity and help those who have little or nothing, in their name . . . and if worse comes to worse, ha..ha....buy them a pair of socks, the more outlandish ones you can find.

Go.....have a good day, all day.  Hugs to all.
