Thursday...all day!!!

Good Morning, a grey sky morning, a few dark clouds with long tails, streaks of light grey in between rows of an almost white background, still....nothing moving....shades and shadows your imagination can take you through...high over the tree tops and nothing moving.  A quiet time, a time of reflection, a time to relax and enjoy.The worker cars are in and the workers already in the hospital wing.  Shades are still drawn.   Silence...no breeze at all this morning....there really is a hush of morning and so easy to enjoy.

I have been sitting here at the computer for a good hour or more.  I have had hot coffee and the cup is empty.  It is time for a refill but I am not going to go and fill my cup until I am ready to put on the morning news and put my feet up for awhile. 

At this moment there is complete silence, not even a breeze to rustle a leaf or two.  So I will break the silence with some television news, feet on the hassock, cup filled with hot coffee and enjoy the word from the outside.   If it is all dark and dreary then I'll put my shoes on and go out the door for a walk around the block.   So...go....have a good day, all day....doing what YOU love to do best...be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend.  Hugs to all.

Mid Week

Good Morning!!!   A new day.....a quiet no breeze at all morning, not a leaf moving, quiet.....still.....cars all parked in the lot for the day....lovely pink flowers falling to the ground waiting to be raked up by the yard folks.  They do a great job and keep the grounds lovely.   It is Wednesday, hump day we used to call it, only a bit after seven a.m. and we are heading into the last days of May.   Coffee is tasty but cold, so off for a refill, be right back.

 Wow, news on, lava flow in Hawaii....scary and very active, wouldn't want to be in its path.   Here it is calm, quiet, shades still drawn in the hospital wing.  Cars are facing my window, two white, I tan, and the rest are either a very dark blue or black.   All look well taken care of.   No birds this morning.

I hope your day is going to be a good one filled with friends and family and things to do....stay healthy, wealthy if you can, and do a good deed or two while you are up and about.   Tend your friendship garden and make today one to remember. 

Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning

A rose is a rose is a rose....smile!!!

and there is something special about a red rose!!

A new day, a new morning, a quiet morning as the worker's cars are all parked, facing my window, and there is a different coupe out there this morning, soft top, white with a light grey or soft blue trim.   One worker walking in slowly, seems to be putting his foot up on a curb and back down as he walks along.   Probably wishful thinking and would like to be back in his bed.

The hush of early morning;  No wind of any kind.  The sky is very light and bright, a tinge of blue.  Take time this morning to fill your 'cuppa' and go outside and sit in awhile looking at the amazing designs in the tree tops. Nature at its best, how lucky we are.

A new day to celebrate, a catch up day after a long holiday weekend.   The end of May and we now get ready for the June brides...yes we have a special one as our Erin is going to be married to Donaleo and the excitement and plans begin to merge.  

I am off for a refill, my cup is empty.   I am off to watch a bit of news before getting showered and dressed for a new day.   I still have sweet thoughts of my quiet time in Pat's yard yesterday, and later of browsing through a store looking for treasures.   Some of the 'old' things we see, touch and decide to leave behind are treasures of another time and there is not enough room to add any more trinkets..smile.  I hope you enjoy today, make the best of your seconds and keep a smile on your face and a lot of love in your heart for those you love and like.  Surround yourself with beauty;  go out the garden and pick a few flowers to bring inside and fill your home with beauty and love.

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

A New Monday!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this lovely yellow bush is a loathsome weed that takes over the countryside.   It is a little after six o'clock, shades still down in the hospital wing, traffic was heavy this morning as most of the workers cars are parked and they are already on duty.  It is a bright morning, sun is up, trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning.  I am up, as to being awake...well....it will happen in time but not until I have one more cup of coffee..smile....aah!!!! The pattern changed this week and the worker's cars are all parked on this side of the roadway.  I have one grey, two different shades of red and two white cars parked directly in front of my window.  The tiny bird has been and gone...a cute little sparrow like bird, tiny and grey.  At this time of the morning the bushes across from my window are bright, one a deep pink and two very light pink low bushes that are lovely to look at.   My coffee cup is empty ...I'll be right back.

AAH!!!!!  Hot coffee,  sip, sip,.....um.....good to the last drop!!!!

My view is of a very light blue sky, tall trees not moving even a little bit, so no wind this morning.   I can see two red, one grey, and two white cars in front of my window this morning.  There are more but not in my sight.  It is silent....so...I am to blog but have few words this morning.   I had a good yesterday spent with granddaughter Erin who invited me to join her browsing the junker store.  No, I did not find a treasure but I did look.   When I got back to Pat's house I chose to sit out in the sunshine and it was lovely, quiet, and very restful.   So my morning words are not very different today;  same old, same old,...smile....and that is not at all bad.   Peaceful and silent at the moment.   It will change before long, folks will be up and about making all kinds of noises and we will all be off for another busy day;  productive????  not sure, but it is in the trying that we shine.    Have yourself a good day...all day....do something good for you after you finish up on the good deeds to others.  Hugs to all.

5:49 a.m. Sunday

There is an old Irish proverb that talks about 'may the road rise up to meet you', how about a ride on this road this morning?   It would be a wake up ride I'm sure.

ha, ha, ha.....Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning to YOU!!!

I think my kids  thought I was pulling their hair out ....and that was before I put the brush to work.
Good Morning!!!!!  How are you today?   It is Sunday, no breeze, worker cars all in, blinds still drawn in the hospital wing and the leaves in the trees are not moving.  A small truck and four cars parked outside my window.   Silence!!!!   The start of a new Sunday and soon folks will be up and getting ready to attend the church of their choice.   I have no interesting news this morning as I did not go anywhere special yesterday.   Only one blind is open in the hospital wing.    So far there is one black, three grey and one white car parked outside my window.   Workers already busy in their new work day.   The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning.  Quiet....Silence....the sky is pale, soft blue, and the reflection of the sun on the trees is really a very pretty sight.  So a brand new day begins....and I am off for a refill of my coffee , on to my easy chair and some television news before I dress for the day.   I have no special plans and I am not adverse to hearing a plan or two from my girls.   Maybe I can extend an invitation out to lunch, um....worth a try.   I hope your day is spectacular and you get to do all of the things you love to do.  Remember to be loving..be kind...be a ray of sunshine as  you donate a little of YOU into the lives of those you love and like.   Go make today a banner day filled with good thoughts, lots of hugs and some kind words...share you...be the beacon of light and love.   Go.....enjoy your day, all day.  Hugs to all.

It's Saturday....all day!!!!

Isn't nature amazing!!!   A picture sends a thousand words through our minds and or imagination does the rest.   I love to take time to find the hidden treasures in a picture like this one.   

The sky is a baby blue this morning, birds are out flying around, passing my window, not one has stopped on the fence this morning although all of the workers cars are in and parked facing my window.   I have a patriotic view as one is red, one white and one blue...two parked close to each other and the other a safe distance from a scratch..smile.

It is silent at the moment;  'not a creature stirring, no even a mouse' ....well, not one I can see anyway.   The blinds are still down in the hospital wing, the workers are in doing their duties.  It is silent at the moment so silver wings are flitting through the trees that are motionless, not a sign of a breeze this morning. 
A new day beginning and the silence refreshing.

I want to wish you a good day, all day.  Take time to 'smell the roses';  don't forget to say a prayer for those who are in need.    One of our men is out in the courtyard walking his little dog.   How he love that little dog...a long body,  close to the ground, moving along like it know where it wants to go and takes his master along with him. 

It is Saturday...think I've said that once or twice already...smile.    Saturday is good...nothing wrong with celebrating another one....get up...get out...and have yourself a day to remember.  I am off for a refill, get dressed and I think off to help my girls with their yard sale.    Not sure yet, but I had better put my shoes on. 

 My doorbell just rang and an invitation to go out for breakfast but too late as I have already had my coffee, second cup already gone...so nice to have an invitation early in the morning. 

I hope your day is special;  like YOU!!!!   Enjoy it to the fullest...be good, be kind, be gentle and smile some sunshine into the lives of those you love and like.  Be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday

Good Morning!!!  I am up. The sky is a faded light blue, no clouds,  I am not awake.   I have not had my coffee as yet as it is still brewing and the aroma is beginning to fill the apartment and I am more than ready for my first cup....I'll be back.

The sky is a very light grey, tree leaves are still, not a bit of movement, shades down in the hospital wing, the worker's cars parked for the day and a new day begins....It is Friday, all day, the end of a week that was calm and clear, no storms of any kind and that isn't all bad.  The workers are in, cars are parked and I have a red one sitting out there in the parking space just under my window.  It isn't really red, but in that field, a lovely color with a bit of orange tint to it, have no idea what it is called but the automobile makers are thinking bright and beautiful.  At the moment silence outside, tv on inside here and we should get paid for all the ads we have to listen to.   One of the lady reporters has a grating voice for so early in the morning.  I can say it does wake you up...smile.

I hope you will make good use of your hours today.  Fill the with good deeds.   Be a welcome mat...smile.    Be aware life is short at best so go and make today a good day all day.  Stay well.   Stay happy.   BE YOU....and make someone you love , or even like, feel good today.    Coffee is hot, tasty and almost gone so off for a refill and the start of a brand new day.    Be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Good Thursday morning!!

There is nothing like the beautiful bewitching dragon flower to say good morning.   A real beauty, an awesome flower, variety is the spice of life and this one is awesome.   If I had a garden I'd like some fabulous dragons reaching for the sunshine.   There is a garden patch by the side of the hospital building and there really is little planted there, a few very tiny shrubs, shaped round, low and green, doesn't do much.  One rose colored bush and a smaller pink one are the only color, the rest are treelike green bushes and the gardener must like round shapes as they are all round, even the tiny ones close to the ground.   I am not complaining, honest, as it gives me a bit of greenery and color to look at, along with a very spindly  tree and a few green round shaped tree like bushes...a bit of color...a bit of the outdoors, so I am not complaining as my view could be nothing but the low hospital wing building with shades drawn.

The worker are going in and one young lady has her hair grown far below her waist.  I bet it is a lot to take care of.   She is limping this morning, maybe she stubbed her toe getting out of bed.   Silence prevails, nothing moving at the moment....ah, the sound of silence......leads to thinking time..smile.

My coffee cup is empty so you know what I am going to be doing...the sooner the better.  I am ready for a refill, turn on the tv news and put my feet up for awhile longer.   It is Thursday all day, nothing planned so I may take a dust rag to the furniture.....or not....smile!!!!

There are a few different cars coming in this morning;  a light grey wagon type; one lovely bronze shade coupe and the ones already parked vary in color, shape and size.  One worker is walking by with a cup of coffee in her hands, not in a hurry..smile....

So now you are up to date....the morning ha begun....time for a hot cup of coffee and hopefully find something good to go with it....but as you have heard before, so many times,  'there is nothing good in this house'  ....well, I have a good appetite..smile.

I am off for a new day.  I have hopes of a good day, all day....reminds me of an old saying about 'you get out of it what you put into it' ;  so...I had better find some good things to put into my day...and you find some for your day....go...be good, be kind, be gentle, be loving.   Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!!

One of my favorite snaps......lovely to look at, delightful to have in a vase on your table, sweetness and light, um.....for a good day, all day.

ha,ha,   sarcasm will get you everything....ha,ha.

Good morning.  It is hump day.....mid week.....the sun is shining in the tree tops, not moving, not even a little.   The worker's cars are all parked and I see two new grey ones;  one silver grey, the other a more metallic grey, no shine to it.   There are three black, one white, so I guess all the workers are in and busy. 

I had a quiet yesterday, didn't do much but hunker down and read, watch some television and snacked a bit;  there is always something to crunch on.  It is hump day today;  Wednesday all day;  right now the courtyard is silent, cars all parked, nothing moving, even the birds are off somewhere other than the fence in front of my window.   Silence......

It isn't even six thirty yet, and I've been here at the computer for a good hour or so...coffee cup empty, well that wont do.....I am off for a refill.

AAH!!!!   Coffee!!!!!    The hot liquid that puts a little life in the body early in the morning......um....good....hot and tasty....now for a coffee bun or a big fat doughnut but there is none ...oh well......someone around here leaves nothing for another day!!!

So with no new news, nothing exciting to discuss, a few wishes to go off somewhere.....a new day....I will go to my easy chair, turn on the television and find out what happened in the 'wee' hour.   Have yourself a good day, all day, do what you love to do best.   Be good, be kind, be gentle and help a friend today....be the bright light to lift someone you love ; or just like...and make today a 'banner' day.   Go...be YOU....be kind, gentle and loving....wow, what a combination!!  Love, Hugs, kisses and wishes for your day to be the bet one yet. 

A New Tuesday....all day!!!

Rolling out a new day;  a sunshine day, a no wind at all day as nothing is moving in the trees and bushes;  all silent;   quiet;   early morning!!!!  A day to go out and about doing what you love to do.

I have no news this morning, nothing of interest as I didn't go anywhere or do anything that is worth talking about.    I have had a very quiet morning.  The girls haven't even been around to say good morning and check up on us.  It is nice to know they will be around to be sure we are all healthy and happy.   Good ladies, caring and know how to be quiet of an early morning...smile.

My computer is facing a large picture window to the parking area so the worker cars are all in and parked for the day.   The workers have a special spot so I am looking at the same old cars, old???? I hardly think so as a couple of the are brand new.   I think I have told you this a dozen time but that is what you get when you have a friend in what I call a bit of captivity...smile. 

I had an e-mail from an old friend this morning.  A delightful surprise.  Bob and his wife, Adele, were buddies in the old days of NARFE, an organization we belonged to and did a lot of work for.   We had some good times, good trips to conventions and a lot of happy memories.   I am hoping for a trip up to visit son Michael this summer and if I do go, I'll be sure to make a dinner date with him. 

Other than that, no new news of value....sun is out;  early in the day;   no plans yet; but one never knows what a day will hold....I'm willing and waiting to find out...smile.

I hope your day is a Tony Tiger GREAT day;  all day.   Go enjoy the sunshine, do a bit of gardening, take a walk around the block and admire your neighbors flowers.   Be good, be kind, be gentle.  Off for a refill, watch the exercise....well I'm to old for all that exercise...everything has to move and I find,  at this age, not all 'things' want to move anymore...ha.ha..going to love you and leave you for now.  I'll be back.

Monday, Monday, la, la, la......

I am thankful for many things in my life and YOU are someone to be thankful for;  your love, your friendship, you willingness to share time and thoughts...um....some blessings are to be counted every day....and YOU are one of them.   It is Monday all over again, a great weekend with a chance to listen to music and have a little tea party....the gallery had a wonderful guitar player and some fancy treats to help us enjoy a Sunday afternoon out.   It was a small turnout but just enough to make it enjoyable.   The musician played with his heart in his music and his fingers flew over the keys making magic sounds.  The treats were delicious and the company all you could possibly ask for....a good afternoon, a lovely time, and everyone had a really good musical time.   Toe tapping, humming....um.....I am already for the next date, smile!!!

The car are all parked, sort of a grey day, skies are a light blue, trees are still, a few birds flying around and one is hopping along the fence right now.  I have four white cars of all sizes and shapes, along with two red cars in front of my window.   It is quiet....silence....nothing moving.  The blinds are down but for one window, someone is awake early.     I am looking at the shapes of the small bushes, rounded tops, one is a large bush with a red flower, more russet in shading and it has grown sideways so all of the flowers are bent towards two other bushes, one tall and very green, the other a beautiful deep pink, although I hasten to call it pink, more depth to it so I don't know what shade to call it.  The other bush is a few feet away and very pink, really pink, shocking pink to name it properly.   The trees behind the roof of the building are not moving at all this morning, so no wind.   The sky is a very light blue, almost white and bare.  A picture of silence.

I love you.  I wish you a good day all day.  I am off for a refill of my coffee,  going to hunker down in my easy chair, turn on the news of the day and relax before my new day begins and hopefully a fun one. Go...have some fun and make your day the best one yet.   Be good, be kind, be gentle ...be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday All Day!!

Good Sunday morning....my calendar says so.....my mind ...blank.....must go with 'old' age.....quiet prevails, cars all parked in their space, blinds down in the hospital wing, sky is all grey no clouds this morning and the tree tops are still, not a bit of movement...a new day...a Sunday all day....and????? what to do, where to go????  um....maybe no place doing some resting and feet up with a good book in hand...sounds good to me.

or....smile....a call...a ride out....a place to go...something to do...with the best of the best...family members.....as one friend usually says, "it is what it is...and it will out"....so, time will tell.

Meanwhile, a blog to do...that is my first chore...no not a chore...but a project of love as I wake up and visit those who put up with me ....skies are light grey, almost the lightest blue you can imagine.  The tree tops are still, no breeze of any kind, and the pink bushes in front of the hospital wing look brighter because of what seems like time standing still. 

So a new day begins.  I am hungry so off I go to my little kitchen, maybe a scrambled egg this morning, buttered toast and hot....hot...coffee.   I would invite you to join me but you are just to far away......absence makes the heart grow fonder.....b.s. makes the grass grow longer.....I'd rather you were here or I was there enjoying a breakfast together.  What is that old adage....'if wishes were horses beggars would ride'....on a white steed to our favorite restaurant;   an omelet would be good and tasty.....um....I am off for a refill and a new day....go...fill your cup with your favorite beverage;   put a piece of bread in the toaster, got any jelly?   hope so....enjoy....go...have a wonderful day all day.  Hug to all.

Saturday, all day!!

and he or is it a she?, wore a Joseph's coat today.  There is something to be said about colors that mix and match.

A truism.   Test it out today and listen to quiet. . .

Saturday a good day, a day to catch up with yourself and do all of the last minute chores you put off all week...then, you can relax and have a Sunday all your own.

I am sitting here, at my desk, looking out the widow to the courtyard where all the worker cars are parked for the day.   It is very early, the blinds are still drawn and there is not one person walking about.   Silence!!!   A soft grey sky this morning, a tiny patch of blue peeking through.   The little birds are flying bye my window, probably looking for a balcony with some bird food.  Some of the folks are generous and keep the birds well fed and happy. 
I had a doctor visit yesterday and have medication for a toe that wants to hurt.   If there is a next time around I am going to ask for 'pretty' feet, small ones for a change and a little tiny beauty for a change, as well..smile.   I should not complain as these feet have taken me around the world and back again and stayed strong.    Big....well that is a sign of a 'good nature' so I 'm told.  smile!!!!

It is Saturday morning and there is a sky filled with a bit of light but a lot of darker grey clouds.  It is early so it may change, if not maybe a bit of rain...that would be a change and good for the trees and shrubs.   I have two very pretty shrubs across at the hospital wing grounds, one is a definite bright light pink, a bit of depth to it and the other on the dark pink side, more red than pink and very pretty.   The worker cars are parked on 'my' side so I am looking into the driver's windshield but not seeing much of anything.  All this you have heard before..smile....I am off for a refill,  hot black coffee, a bit of tv and find out what has happened during the black of night.   I hope your day is special, just like you, and I hope you get to do exactly what you want to do today....something fun, something good for you, something to make you happy.    Be good, be kind, be that one person everyone wants to walk into their door today.     Enjoy today!!  Hugs to all.

A New Day...All Day!!

And John made it back home safe and sound....maybe if we are lucky he will be able to plan another trip this way soon, come to think of it he will be back for Erin and Donaleo' wedding...something to smile about....

My coffee cup is empty so I am off for  a refill....some blogging and a new day...I hope you are up, feeling good and ready for your new day...make it special just like YOU...

Morning quiet, cars parked, blinds not open in the hospital wing, quiet, stillness, a time to meditate and get ready for another bright and beautiful day full of the people you love best and the good health to enjoy them.   Go....have a day to remember.   Hugs to all.

Flight Time

Good byes are always happy and sad times.   John Is off for his flight back home and I miss him already.  It is so wonderful to have him here to share time with.  He is so easy to love.   We had a great visit and I hope it wont be long before we find a way to share time again....there is an old saying about distance makes the heart grow fonder but remember the ending which says b.s. makes the grass grow longer....a bit irreverent but you know what I mean....I miss my son already and he hasn't put foot on the bus to the airport yet..smile.   He is on his way and we had a great time sharing and caring which is what made our world a happy place and hopefully more in the future....never enough when it comes to having a family member within arms reach.

There is no wind this morning.  It is quiet, calm and light is beginning to show up in our skies.  The worker cars are parked, but not all, I see a few empty spaces out there.   The blinds are down in the hospital wing, no movement over there, but it is still just a little past six a.m. and sleeping in is much more important that waking up to early as that makes for a very long day.    A couple of the day workers are heading in.   A new day, a busy day, hopefully a good day.

I am off for a refill and some news.  I hope your day is a 'good' one and you enjoy your seconds.    Don't forget to do a good deed or two;   hug someone because you can;   smile as it is catching;   be YOU and make your world a bright and beautiful place today.

Coffee is hot;  news is on;  off to my chair, feet up...aah!!!!  I'll love you and leave you for another time....be good, be careful, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

The Day After!!

Good Wednesday morning, feels like a Monday morning, cars are all parked, quiet prevails, no breeze this morning, blinds down in the hospital wing and even the trees are not moving.  A few cars have been moving in and out of the driveway, most of the worker's cars are parked on my side of the parking lot directly in front of my window.   The white cars have it this morning as there are more of them than any other color, I think grey is a favorite too.   One black one which stands out....all sizes and shapes...smile!!

A new day, hopefully a good one.   I had a terrific, stupendous birthday weekend, it was worth getting this 'old', creeping up to the big one, but still have a way to go..smile....I was wined and dined, fed the best of food and didn't miss a desert.   I had a birthday to remember for a long time.....well, until the next one if I am lucky enough to pile them on...smile.

While I think of it, thank one and all for the lovely cards, the wishes and hugs.  I am one very lucky lady.    Right now I am off for a refill, turn on the tv for some news, feet up, coffee hand, nothing left of the doughnut..um...they never do last...can't imagine how come....smile!!!  Go...have yourself a day filled with friends, love and laughter.  Be YOU!!!  Be glad you are alive, well and able to take a new day on with smiles and hugs.    Enjoy today...all day!!!!

Mother's Day!!!

Good Sunday Morning....May 13, 2018....now that is a date to think about...time has a way of going bye and we hardly  notice, then a special day comes and we wake up to the fact that life is passing a lot quicker than we realize.   So......take time today to enjoy the seconds.....each one to be special.....each one shared with those you love and add a few you like...smile.    Be magnanimous.....be joyful....be one with open arms and hugs for those you love and like.    That is what mothers do!!  So have a Happy Mothers Day!!!

It is a sunshine day.   The hospital wing window shades are still drawn, not need to wake up early when you can snooze to your hearts content.    A tiny bird is sitting on the fence;  a good morning call....I like that. 

All of the cars are parked facing my window, not sure I like that but it really doesn't matter that much as I don't use that area anyway, but my big widow opens to the courtyard and that is where the cars are so I'll admire the little red one, ignore all the white ones and welcome the only black one.  I actually saw a green one drive bye....different, not sure I like it...ha,ha...like it makes a difference....there is one cream colored one, different, not bad....shows the dirt, I bet...smile....but if voting I think the deep red one would get the prize.

I am off for a refill, finish the blog and get ready to put my shoes on.   ... well, not for awhile, don't put them on until I have to..smile.   I am not planning on going out for awhile.   I am going to be lazy this morning, turn on the television and hunker down in my chair, hot coffee in hand, feet up....aah!!!!

Have a wonderful, stupendous day, all day,  be good, be kind, be gentle and most of all loving....Hugs to all.

A Saturday View

It is 2018 and I arrived on this planet 1924, you do the math....didn't know I was ancient, did you?   Well, I am, and God willing, I will pack in a few more years to do a good deed or two and hopefully share some time with YOU.....It is a sunshine morning, the leaves of the trees are bright with sunshine.  The workers cars are parked and the blinds are open on one window over in the hospital wing.  It is quiet.   There are a couple of different cars out in the parking lot, and one silver, two white, and a black car fill my window view....all clean and shining, no nonsense windshields and all facing this building, well there is one exception and it is a white truck or van like car facing the opposite of all the others...there is always one...smile!!!

It is Saturday, all day, and I have not made any plans.    Saturday is always a take it as it comes day.  One never knows what invitation is forthcoming, but...you know you hope for one and put on your shoes and go out the door for a bit of fun and excitement.   A visit with a friend is always fun.   Tea for two isn't all bad....and a trip to the casino is tricky as you want to play but you want to keep your shekels too.   The day will 'out' itself and we will have a chance to enjoy sunshine which is now shining through the tall tress over behind the hospital wing.  The hospital workers are coming in and most have a cup of hot coffee or a beverage they enjoy in their hands.   A pretty morning, even a little bird is sitting on the fence.   So....I wish you a good day, all day.  I hope you are feeling 'tip-top' and plan a day of fun...after the work is done....smile.     I will love you and leave you and go enjoy a refill of my hot coffee and watch a bit of television, news is on, hope there is something bright and good on;  um....a chef is talking about making his favorite dishes and fresh bread is one of them....I think I will go 'cook up' a bagel;  sounds good to me.    Have a day to remember!!  Hug to all.

Friday!!!!

And, if there was a swing out there in the yard, I would go out and swing this morning....yep!!!  I am heading for another birthday....I didn't know I could count so high...the trees are still this morning, a baby blue sky and the blinds over in the hospital wing are closed tight.  The cars are all parked and one worker is looking for a space to park, all spaces are full but there is more parking area out in the back and he or she will have to walk a few more steps if they have to park in the back area. A bit of walking exercise will help them wake up.  So much sympathy from me.  smile!!

A clear light blue sky this morning, no movement of the tees;  quiet, stillness....a big yellow truck just went by making noise as it goes over the speed bumps.  Rattle, roll and shake..smile.     Silence again....May eleventh and a Friday, wonder what is in store for me today.   I know...laundry day...ha,ha, and you thought I was going to tell you I was off on a new adventure....I wish!! 

My coffee cup is empty and I need a refill.  I have not turned on the television yet but soon will.  A full cup, feet up....mornings are not all bad...smile.

SO!!!!  GO!!!! Have yourself a GREAT DAY doing what YOU love to do best.  Be good, be kind, be gentle , be patient and smile while you do it.   Be a beacon of light and ignore those who are not 'morning folks'.  Hugs to all.

A New Thursday...all day!!!

I think I told you about the 'show' last Sunday....here at the Gallery!!!!

My mind goes off by itself these days;  this getting 'old' is not as much fun as I was told, or else my sense of humor has gone for a long walk.    This is a lovely picture of the Gallery and it is a place to go where you find treasures of all kinds ...and, you can wile away a few hours enjoying the talent of others.  Believe me we have some very talented artists right here in Port Orchard.   I know, I brag a lot but they should be bragged about as the work they do is not only professional but just down right GOOD...enjoyable....come and visit for yourself and you will know what I am talking about.   and.....if you come on a 'show' day you can enjoy some delightful treats. 

I am sitting here at the computer looking out the big window at the outside.  The hospital building is across from me and the shades are still down as the patients snooze away.  It is only a little after six a.m.  I wake up early so get up and head for the coffee pot and then here at the computer where I can open the shade and see what is on going in the courtyard.  Usually, a lot of nothing, a few parked cars having just dropped a day worker off.   There are a row of very tall trees behind the hospital building which either move with a wind or just stay still.  My weather report for the day..smile.    This morning the trees are still, nothing on the move and the quiet is peaceful.    I am in need of a refill so I will wish you a truly wonderful day, hopefully filled with love and laughter.   Remember you get out of your day what YOU put into it...So....work hard at filling your day with love and laughter.   I am going grocery shopping....treats....and a few staples...ha.ha.  ... well, how else can you keep a stylish figure!!!!   Go....be good, be kind, be gentle,  be YOU!!!! Hugs to all.

Good May Morning!!

Good Morning!!!!  Roll out the carpet, we have a new day, not a bit of a breeze, nothing moving as a few grey clouds want to move into a beautiful sky of baby blue and puffy white clouds.  The tree tops are still, so no breeze this morning.  The hospital workers cars are already parked and are facing this building. I have one black, one grey and one red car facing my window and all but one has something dangling in their window.    One has a football helmet in the window, a fan you think?  smile!!!

It is Wednesday, mid week, the first week of May already spoken for...the blue of the sky is really pretty this morning and the mixture of soft white clouds, with one or two streaked in shades of grey make it into picture clouds so there is much to see and imagine...indoor sports early in the morning.

I wish you all a good day...a great day....a day of love and laughter....a bit of hard work to keep your muscles strong...stretch those lips into a welcoming smile; put on the coffee pot, or tea if you prefer, and invite someone you 'like' in for a cuppa!!!

As for me....off for a refill,  catch up with some writing before I lose a friend or two...maybe make a luncheon date with my girls ...um...maybe a dinner date would be better as I am in the mood to be slow today...smile....so....off I go...wishing you a 'g o o d' day, all day.  Be sure you do something 'good' for YOU....Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!!

Good Morning!!!!

The sun is out, bright and beautiful, the trees are still, not a leaf stirring.   The worker cars are parked and silence is right here;  not a movement at all, even the breeze is lacking and everything is still, quiet, motionless....guess it is time for a refill and make a little noise...quiet is good....silence???  lonely!!

A new day, a Tuesday...um...that has a nice ring to it.   A catch up day;  a day to take notes and get ready for some grocery shopping....'there is nothing good in this house'   . . . cannot imagine who eats all the goodies.  I looked for some and there is a lot of space in  the cupboards.   Time to shop.  Time to add a few extra goodies to the list....wonder if they have those fattening white covered doughnuts; bet they do....I'll look when I get to the store, no sense in leaving them there.

It looks like a beautiful day out there.  The sun is up and hitting the little tree in the side yard of the hospital wing.   I have one tiny Christmas like tree to look at; a beautiful bush of color that cannot be called red but is of that family;  more of a light rose shade but that doesn't do it justice.  No breeze this morning, stillness, quiet....brings to mind that song with the words "a hush all over the world"  . . . a Cannon moment on what silence looks like.

So....I am off....some days more than others, smile!!!   I need a refill, put on some news, enjoy a few more minutes to hunker down and do nothing that requires movement...smile!!!   Go....find an easy chair, turn on the news and put your feet up for a while longer....refresh your morning libation and put a smile on your face as a new day is about to begin and we are the on stage actors for today....shop until we drop...good idea....I know just where the doughnuts are housed.....I'll see you later gater!!!!  Have a G O O D one.....be good, be kind, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning

I have been looking for some pictures to post but there are no new ones this morning.  I need to go on a photo shoot and find some interesting shots to post; um...the thought is good, but the spirit is lacking at this time of the morning...I'd have to put my shoes on...smile!!!

It is Sunday morning and I have been sitting here at the computer for a good hour and have accomplished nothing.   My intentions were good but I have no new news, no new pictures, and my mind is wool gathering, as the old expression goes.....seems like the mind is going off on little jaunts all its own....and not having gone anywhere or done anything special it is not easy to keep you content with words to live bye...ha.ha...well, I have to say something.....what????  I have not gone anywhere special;  have not started anything new ...but...I did finish a knitting project and that makes for a banner day....as I am really not much of a knitter...a sewer....a painter....a cook...and bottle washer...smile.....but I try.

So, I will say good-morning and wish you a good day, all day.   I hope you find things to do to make you smile;  I hope you find friends to share time with;  I just hope your day is wonderful..just like YOU!!!

I am off for a refill, going to put my shoes on and go off the the Gallery today..I hear the new show is really something to view....I'm ready.  So....be good, be kind, be gentled, be a friend, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday Evening

Hello.   I have been watching Hallmark stories all afternoon....had my fill of all that sweetness and light;  off to find a shoot em up cowboy or a murder mystery...ha.ha.    the picture is downtown Port Orchard..pretty neat eh?    There are several antique stores to keep us busy looking for that special treasure.

A good clear day all day;   no wind at all;   quiet around here for a Friday.   I had to pamper a sore toe and shoes hurt;   but a rest should help it mend...

It has been quiet around here today.  No company to stay for a visit.  Patricia did come to check on me and we had a nice visit.   I made myself a miserable dinner; didn't have anything GOOD.....ha.ha...you have heard that before.   Tea is good and that is what I am going to have soon.  There is nothing, and I mean nothing sweet and decadent in this kitchen;   crackers and that has no appeal even if I put peanut butter on them.   So hot tea it is and I'll try  not to complain..but....ha,ha...you know I will.

So....with nothing to say, having done nothing useful, nothing to say, haven't had anyone to talk to for some hours, I will love you and leave you to enjoy your television programs and maybe some guests...and I will go back to my easy chair, feet on the hassock, Hallmark stories and some hot tea.   All is not lost...smile!!!

Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!!!!   Snore if you dare!!   Tomorrow, tomorrow, a new day coming up;  wonder what is in store for us!   Hopefully, a hug and some good news and maybe drop in company with a bag of jelly doughnuts....I think that is called 'wishful thinking' . . . So....

Be good, be kind, be gentle and Go with God, you couldn't find a better companion....smile....love and hugs.

A View!!

Good morning!!!  It is five thirty two a.m. the third day of May, quiet prevails, not a breeze to be had as the trees are still, no movement at all.  The sky itself is awesome this morning, a shade of light blue with a shaded moon of gold.   Silence....and my coffee cup is empty.....I'll be back!!!

The cars are coming in slowly, parking on this side of the street or walkway, I should say, usually they park across the street in front of the hospital wing.  It is only a little after five thirty as I already pointed out...but with one eye open you can expect repeats...smile.     The moon is white with blue markings in it and the light orange reflecting the sun so a new day begins.  I am in awe of the trees as there is no movement at all this morning;  quiet,  stillness.  The worker cars are coming in slowly , looks like there is room for one more.  Right now there is one black, one silver and two white cars  and an open space right under my window;  um...wonder who will park there and what color car....I should find out soon.

Daughter Pat and I went card shopping yesterday and that is always fun.   We are sharing a birthday month, me ancient and her young...smile.    We will have to choose a special restaurant and choose our favorite meal.....a really tender steak and a baked potato sounds good to me . 

So with no new words to share, I think I will go hunker down in my chair, turn on the TV and see what the news folks have to say about what went on in  the night.....hopefully something good for a change....but no guarantee.....while sitting here talking with you, all of the cars are in, parked and the workers have walked in the door of the hospital wing and are already starting their work day...with a smile??? or not....it is only six a.m. and their bodies are still snoozing...smile!!!

I am off for a refill, some TV news, feet up, and a new day begins.   I hope your new day is as wonderful as you are....I hope your new day is full of laughter and love.   I hope YOU have a day to remember with fun and good memories to store...and share....um....share, isn't that a lovely word?   I think so....so share YOU with those you love and like...wrap those arms around them and make your today the best one yet.   Hugs to all.

Mid Week

Good Morning this Wednesday at quarter to six this second of May , a little after five a.m., nothing moving, no noise of any kind...silence.......   I do not have to be up but I am, habits of a lifetime and there is no movement in the trees, no color in the sky, pale blue, still leaves as the trees are reaching for the sky but not making any movements as they do.  A couple of workers are parking and getting ready for a new day and I am almost to the end of my coffee....now that will never do so off I go for a refill.

AAH!!!  Hot black coffee...good....tasty....one sip and the eyes pop open.  The court yard is slowly filling up with the cars of the workers and not to close as one car is making sure it isn't touched...smile.  At this moment, stillness fills the air, not even a little breeze this morning.  The ornamental bushes take on the still manner of a guard, while the pink azalea bush adds some color and brightness to the small garden patch.  Sh!! the shades are all closed...not a creature is stirring...not even a mouse....ha.ha....haven't seen one of those in a very long time.

Son John wrote telling about how much he and Jo enjoyed having Christine visit.  I have been invited to come but I am to check with Christine first as she managed to survive their stairs.  I gather they have a lot of them...and John is worried as to how I would survive them.    I am having another birthday this month so maybe I had better think twice about distance travel and stairs...this old gal isn't what she used to be...smile!!

So ...I am off to finish my blog, refill my coffee cup and turn on the television and see what has  happened in the wee hours.    All of the worker's cars are in, all parked for the day while you and I have been gabbing.   There is a new white car out there this morning complete with a sticker in the windshield.   I rechecked the trees and there is no movement, no wind, silence....think I'll go hunker in my chair and watch the news.   Go....have yourself a really g o o d day and have a little fun.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A new Tuesday, A new Month...Aah!!!

I love pictures like this as you can make it a morning or an evening or the ending of a good day....or a bad one....but there is always the promise of a new day...so up and awaken to your new day.  I have been sitting here at the computer for an hour or so browsing...fooling around...wishful thinking....opening the 'other' eye and wondering why my coffee cup is empty.....never should happen....so...off I go for a refill..be right back.

AAH!!!!  Hot Coffee!!!! 

It is very quiet out there in the courtyard this morning.   The worker's cars are parked and everyone is busy starting their new day.  Only one shade is open, the rest are all closed tight.  It is early so no one wants to be up doing a lot of nothing at this time of morning.   I do not have to be up but a habit of a lifetime says I do.   Sleeping in is something I do not do but a snooze in my chair seems to be more prevalent these days.  You know, this getting to be an 'old' lady is not all bad as you get to do  a lot of what you never could earlier in life....sit more for instance...smile!!!  I still keep busy though...have a knitting project going, working on an afghan, you know the drill...busy hands...makes for an easy mind and keeps the fingers nimble.   Drop a stitch or two and the vocabulary builds...smile.

So, you have heard all this before and probably will again, but I didn't go anywhere or do anything that I haven't already told you about.....so....a new day...um.....wonder what it is going to be like?????  We will soon see.

So...be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....make your world a happy one and be sure you pay attention to that someone who needs a bit of a lift today.   A smile, a hug, a few kind words goes a long way in making someone smile and feel good...so go...make someone happy to see YOU....have a day to remember!!  Hugs to all.
