Saturday Morning!!

Good Morning.   I thought you should have some flowers to brighten your morning and make you smile.

It is Saturday, all day,  early morning and there is one bird sitting on the hospital roof and it has been there for quite awhile.   It is quiet, still, nothing moving and most of the workers are in as there is only one open space.  The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.  There is a new deep purple car this morning with silver trim, quite fancy, I might say...smile.   The side mirrors are wide and stick out, hope no one comes along to do damage to them.  A really good looking 'easy ride' car.    The shades are still drawn in the hospital wing, two with shades open and lights on and one patient is watching television as the bed is close to the window and I can see the patient.  A worker is going to her car, shift over for another day, walking slowly, probably tired after a full night of caring for those who cannot care for themselves.   One worker just rode out in a lovely soft top car, wonder what it is;   cute...if you can call a car that..smile.  AND, a new day begins.

I am in need of a refill, so off I go to turn on the television...Saturday cowboys...yipee!!!  ha,ha...well I like cowboys!!

I hope your day is 'wonderful' full of love and laughter.   I hope you get your chores done early and have freedom for the rest of your day.

I need a refill......off I go.....but...I'll be back another morning to wake you up and smell the flowers and watch the birds...smile!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday -Laundry Day!!!

A new day breaking, cars parked, workers heading for the hospital building, shades down, quiet prevails and 'the sound of silence'.   A new day, a new early morning with a few cars parked but a lot of empty spaces yet to be filled.   Inside of this building there is silence.  Folks sleeping in this morning.   I am off for a refill...be right back.

Aah!!!  Hot coffee,  a wake up cup of hot coffee....good taste, good and hot,  sip, sip, and now for the blog....to say ????   have no idea, haven't any real new or exciting news this morning.  It is Friday, all day, and laundry day for me....now if that is something to get excited about, then I will have to find my hiding place as I don't feel any excitement yet.   smile!!!! 

The sky is clear, the trees are not moving;  the hospital shades are down but for one room and that has no lights on, but the window shades are open.  So someone is awake and waiting for their new day to start.    I wake up before the birds, a bad habit, but too late to change it now...smile. 

So, go and have yourself a good day, all day...do something for someone you love , for someone you like and for someone you are 'so-so' about....smile....wonder how many you count in that category....smile!!!!

I am going for a refill of my coffee;   I do make a good pot of coffee each morning so I can wake the body up;  the mind?? a different story...smile!!  That haircut yesterday turned out short...I mean short....a boy cut....oh well, it will grow out eventually.....I think!!! 

Hope there are rainbows in your skies today, bright and beautiful, just like YOU!!

I will love you and leave you..have a good breakfast and a walk out if you have a mind set for some exercise.   ...not me, I am turning the tv on;  see what happened in the night and hunker down with my hot coffee....later gater...have yourself a day to remember.    Good folks, good deeds and share a hug or two.  Hugs to all.
 

Good Morning!!

Tip toe through the tulips...la, la, la.....la, la!!!   I just do not have any new news;  have nothing new and different to share this morning as I had a stay-in day yesterday, all day, did a bit of puzzling with friends upstairs and the puzzle is coming along really well;  a beauty;  and a hard one which we really enjoy.  So far three of us have hung in there, but the pieces are playing with us and once in a while we check the floor to find the one that almost got away....smile!!!  I had a nice surprise when my daughter, Patricia, came in with some dinner....Kentucky Fried is good anytime...and we made good use of it...not a crumb to share.

A new day, it is Thursday, morning time and the sky is a very pale blue, really more white than blue....a misty shade and no wind at all so the trees are still and all the worker's cars are parked on 'my' side of the parking area this morning.  I have three white cars in front of my window;  one a truck;  one with a window in the roof and the other just plain....on car parked next to a white one is a strange color, looks almost purple, a deep shade that looks more brown tone than purple but that shade is still prominent.   I wonder what it is called.  Looks good anyway.   

I have no special news this morning.   Life is good.   Health is good....so far....no complaints and as a friend used to say "who would listen anyway"....well YOU might if I complain hard enough...but...you can always turn off the blog...smile!!!

I am off for a refill,  some TV news ....wonder what happened in the night!!!  I'll go find out.....hot coffee....aah!!!!   Feet up....aah!!!   a new day....aah!!!  and I do have a little grocery shopping to do;  um....might even go for a hair trim...I begin to look shaggy and that will never do.    SO!!!!  I am off to celebrate today;  hope you start your day with a smile, a hug or two, and of course a big fat jelly doughnut which is really good for the waist line....ha...ha...ha!!!

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

Good Morning!!!

"Here comes the bride all dressed in white....la, la, la.....May their love last forever.   Mr. and Mrs ....excitement, vows, love and sunshine...a special day for Erin and Donaleo. 

A quiet morning, soft sunshine, shadows on  the hospital widows where the blinds are still closed tight.   A few cars parked int he lot, but a lot more due in for a new work day.   Right this minute you could actually hear a pin drop...silence....awesome.

I am off for a coffee refill and some television news.   I didn't go anywhere, do anything special, well I did work on the puzzle upstairs in the lunch room and it is a 'doozy', a lot of work, a lot of pieces yet to find....a challenge...and everyone needs a challenge. 

My coffee cup is empty....I'm off.....a refill, some tv news and feet up for awhile.  I'll have to check and see what my girls are doing today, maybe, just maybe, they will invite me over for a cook out....steak would be good but hamburger is always special...ha.ha...the poor man's special!! 

Have yourself a great day,  a good day,  fill your memory banks with good ones and smile a lot.    Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

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

Good Morning!!!   A new day in a new week in the same year so you have a new chance to make your life bright and beautiful...so.....get busy....smile.

It is Monday again..seem to come around pretty fast;  wonder why weekends seem so short....could be because we keep busy, alive, active, sharing and caring...all good reasons to be glad we are alive and well.    My weekend was quiet and that is not a bad thing.   I put a few pieces n the big puzzle up on the table in the dining room.   Then invited a friend to join me for a glass of wine and some restful chatter and 'a good time was had by all;....smile.

A new week;  um.....soft skies, not much color, no breeze as the tree leaves are still;  worker cars parked, all on 'my' side this morning and the color of the cars change every day, today I have one silver, and four black...shades are up in some of the hospital windows but ost are down while the patients snooze on.   Quiet....nothing moving this minute....even my typewriter keys do not make a sound. 

A new week begins and so far I have o special plans.   I have not heard of any trips out but that could change.    My girls were busy over the weekend so maybe I'll be lucky and get a peek at them today.    I will take what I get and lump it or like it...smile.   

So,   time for a refill, put the tv on and listen to the news of the day....hope some good news for a change.   So....coffee cup in hand...easy chair open....tv on....time to catch up with the outside world.....go ...fill your cup.....feet up...ready....????.....I'll be back.  Hugs to all.

Sunday....All Day!A ride

A ride out would be nice, but right now it is very, very, very early in this Sunday morning.   There is a fog hanging over the tall trees that are behind the hospital wing, blinds are down, cars parked and my coffee cup is empty...I am off for a refill.

A wise lady with a word of wisdom or two.    Isn't it amazing how a smile can make or break your day.   

My little picture calendar says "Now it's Sunday Morning"  and it is.   There is a fog out in the sky this morning and the mist hangs in the trees making some awesome pictures.   There are a few empty spaces in the parking area right under my window, but two white, one very red, one black and a dark blue array of cars are parked out there.  Some workers have early shifts, some are ending theirs and heading home for some needed sleep.   There is not breeze at all this morning. There is a stillness in the air, a fog that surrounds the tall trees and a break between some of the tall ones showing a spindly trunk of a tree with very few branches.   It really is an awesome sight.   I see a bird fly bye but doesn't stop. 
A nice view on a Sunday morning.    You are probably still asleep with no  intention of getting up at this time of the morning.    I will not be going back to bed but I will be hunkering down in my easy chair and turn n the television to see what transpired in the wee hours.   So off I go for a coffee refill,  aah....hot coffee, how does one ever do without it....I hope I do not find out.   smile.   Go...have yourself a wonderful Sunday, all day, doing what you love to do, not what you have to do...smile.    Go....be YOU....be good, kind, gentle, and above all loving.   Make your today the bet one yet.  Hugs to all.

Saturday, All Day!!!

Good Morning!!!  A new day, A Saturday and it is quiet, not a breeze out there, nothing moving, worker cars all parked for the day and my coffee cup is empty....that will never do....be right back.

AAH!!!!  Coffee to wake me up and get the brain in gear...words to write...but what???  I didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything out of the ordinary so I will have to work on doing something today and see what mischief I can get into.I did  work on the big puzzle upstairs in the dining room.   I had several helpers which was fun even though we didn't find many pieces.  The puzzle is not an easy one...Seattle Sky Scraper which has proven to be a bit more difficult that we thought .

The hospital workers are in, parked, facing my window this morning so I get to see the bobbles hanging from  the windows;   really, not many, some folks like a clear windshield when driving and that is probably being very smart.

So, you must get tired of the same old, same old, words.....wish I  had some new ones.   I think I told you about granddaughter Erin and Donaleo tying the knot and shared pictures and words with you.    So......it is Saturday all day and I have a grocery list to make up as the girls are shopping today.   

I will love you and leave you to your day, make it a good one doing the things you love to do with the people you love to do things with..smile!!!

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

It is Friday...all day!!!

Emma is thinking of her family and the fact they will be coming home today.  You know she will be up and moving as soon as she hears the car door..smile....been a long weekend with the family away enjoying all the wedding festivities....maybe she is thinking of ignoring them for leaving here behind....smile....but you know as soon as she senses the car coming around the corner she will be up and at the door waiting.

It is Friday morning, no breeze of any kind, trees are still, blinds down in the hospital windows and all the worker cars are parked over on my side of the street.  I can look into car windows, although I cannot see much of anything.  It is silent, no sounds, not even a bird is out there flying around.  It will change soon enough and I will be thinking of how much silence is really very profound.  A new worker walking into the parking lot area, a male, now that is new and different. 

I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet;  in fact I have not put the coffee pot on yet.....so you know where I will be going and what I will be doing.....coffee....coffee...need to wake up and then I'll come back and talk with YOU...ha,ha....no way will you get away free as the birds.

I hope your day is truly wonderful;  just like YOU!!!!   Coffee,  Coffee,   wake up, wake up.....I can do that.  Hugs to all.

Thursday afternoon....after two p.m.

I am singing, and you cannot hear me, so count your blessings...smile!!!  The sky is electric white and grey, trees are still, cars all parked for the day and silence at the moment.  I just returned from the dining area where I spent some time with Lois trying to find some puzzle pieces.  It is a  'doozy' and very difficult to find the right piece for the right space.  They all want to fit...smile...but not one does until you hunt and finally find a piece...a challenge and that makes it fun.

It is crowded in the parking area, not one open space today.   The blinds are down in most of the hospital wing windows, all but one but not a sign of anyone within.    I thought I was seeing things early this morning when I opened my door and looked out at the trees.  They are turning color, fall colors already, way to early.   

I had a note from John today and all is going well down at the wedding.   They have the house all set, folks coming in, food galore and special treats and all is as it should be.   No complaints...smile.  Well, I have one or two but nobody listens..ha.ha.ha.

I am off to make myself a cup of hot tea and relax with the TV on and some words to find to fit the newspaper puzzle.   It never does get finished but I do make a dent..smile.

I am going to love you and leave you for now....a tea break is necessary to keep me happy....I miss my family and am a tiny bit 'put out' that I am not with them instead of here all by myself....poor, poor me!!!!  Ha, ha...well how often do I get to gripe and groan and moan when I don't get MY WAY!!!!  ha, ha....

So...tea time....I am going to go put the water on to heat;  look for a cookie, I think I have some lemon ones on a top shelf out of my reach....but I do have a little step stool that works just fine..smile!!!

Have yourself a good rest of the day and enjoy it to the hilt.   I wish you good health and happiness and a little hugging in between.    Go.....make the rest of today special, just like YOU.  Hugs to all.

A New Wednesday Morning!!!

It is time to get up, time to get up, time to get up in the morning!!!!   Toot,,toot, toot,....smile!!

The trees have not changed but the color in the sky is a lot brighter and I hate to say it but the tree leaves are showing a lot more color .

It is a new Wednesday morning, quiet, a couple of worker cars in but the blinds are still down in the hospital wing an silence prevails.  A hump day morning making me wonder what is in store for us today.   I have no special plans.   The big puzzle on the upstairs table in the lunch room awaits and hopefully I will get a chance to put a few pieces in.   There are three of us showing interest at the moment and a piece is found now and then but it really is a tough one.   Tough is good, keeps our interest but it isn't easy to quell the temperament in finding the right piece for the right spot..smile!!!

Our morning is bright and beautiful, tiny puff ball clouds in our skies and the trees are perfectly still, not a breeze to be had this morning.     A wine shade must be the color of cars this year as there are three of them on the lot this morning.   One lady just parked crooked and it doesn't bother her a bit...smile....If she opens her door to fast she will scrap the white wagon next to her. As the old expression goes...'there is one in every crowd'....there is a new all white car that just parked, very nice,  and green beads hanging from the mirror.   So the hospital workers are coming in slow but sure and ready for a new day.    I am off for a refill...coffee...coffee...aah!!!   Turn on the television and find out what happened in the night.    Hopefully something good!!!

Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and practice your 'hug' today...smile.    I'm off....but you already know that!!!!

A Tuesday Morning

Ha,ha,ha,......I was looking for an angel to watch over the travelers today and I found one..smile!!!

Good morning.   It is Tuesday all day and it is a beautiful windless sunshine morning with quiet, all hospital worker cars in and parked on 'my' side of the parking area this morning.   The trees are still.  No movement at all.   I know it should not be, but there are a few leaves turning, way to early, but they are and we still have a long way to go before a change of season.  Probably nature playing games with us;  making us aware that we do not have 'the upper hand'..smile.

The feet gave out or I'd be with family members dancing at granddaughter Erin's wedding.  It does hurt to get 'old' and not be able to do what used to come naturally and no problem at all....time becomes the enemy all to soon....but...there will be visitors, tales to tell, pictures to see and I can hardly wait.   So age changes first in line to last in line....has to happen but I do not have to like it...smile!!!!

It is a beautiful morning.   I am off to get dressed and I think I will take a walk outside in the sunshine.  I think my slippers will hold up.  The 'toe' is red and ugly, sore if you 'bother' it but okay if you leave it alone...ha.ha....makes sense does't it??  ha.ha....oh to be smart!!!   The lawn people are out in the yard area this morning making noise.   I wonder when someone will invent a mower without noise....the one in use here could shake the building..smile!!!

Have yourself a good day...a day of smiles ....be a friend.....be good, be calm, be gentle, be YOU......make today a day to remember for a very long time....laughter, hugs, and kind words to share....sounds good to me. 

Hugs to all.

Monday . . . Again!!!!

The sky is clear, a very soft blue, almost white;  trees are still;  traffic is one car coming in to park for the work day.  I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself my girls are off and away enjoying Erin and Donaleo's special day.   It is tough enough to get old but this having feet that don't want to work is something you don't write home about but holler loud and clear....It is not often I am left to myself and I am not sure I am going to like it, but it is the way it is and there is nothing I can do to change it...if there was, I'd change it...smile!!!

The sky is clear baby blue, no wind at all, tree leaves are still, making patterns to enjoy.  The blinds are down in the hospital wing and the worker's cars are coming in slowly.   The start of a brand new week.  My toe doesn't care one bit and delights in hurting so I am grounded for a bit.   Do I like it?   No, no, no....I want to be out and about enjoying the walk and the talk.   I want, I want....ha,ha...sound like a two year old and right now I feel like one.

Only two cars parked in front of my window this morning;  one a silver grey, almost white, glass top with a luggage rack.  The other car is a soft green, almost a grey shade with a black top, classy!!   The rest of the parking lot is empty but wont stay that way long as the new work week begins.   As for me, I need a refill, turn on the television and find out what went on in our world while I was snoozing away.    So I will love you and leave you;  have yourself a day to remember;  be good;  be kind;   be gentle;   be YOU!!!!   Hugs to all.

Friday Eveni

I would have liked to have had this for dinner but that was not to be;  soup is good!!!

What I would like to have done today...but I sat!!!

It is good to be reminded!!  Now to apply it!!!

It is Friday evening and I am sitting here at the computer which is in front of the big picture window overlooking the court yard and the hospital wing and the huge trees behind it.  The sky is mostly white from billowy clouds that are just hanging there;  not moving;  no color to speak of;  well, a bit but so faint it is hardly worth mentioning.   It has been a good day, a quiet day, some drop in company which I always enjoy.  One of the ladies stopped in and was feeling sad because of the loss of one of our mates.   It takes a day or two to sink in, and then the feeling of loss takes over and we realize, after a trip upstairs to the lunch room, that someone is missing and the truth sinks in.
Pat has taken my suitcase off and tomorrow we start off for California for granddaughter Erin's wedding.   I will have tales to tell when I return. So, I am going to be short and sweet;  have no new news to share anyway....It is Friday evening, tv blaring ads..what else...if we got just news we wouldn't know what to do with it...smile.   I walked out around the corridors for exercise.   I have had my dinner but no desert..'there is nothing good in this house'  ....ha.ha...you have heard that before.   I think a cup of hot tea will suffice....a little peanut butter on a cracker is a fair substitute ...but only fair...smile!!    "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite"  I will catch up when I get back from my trip and have a tale or two to share....mind your manners.....be good...be kind...be gentle....be YOU and share YOU with those you love and like.   Sweet dreams when you get there.  Hugs to all.



   

Thursday....all day!!

Good Morning .....I am only a bird in a cage ;  well sometimes it feels just like that....I am waiting for sunshine and a new day to go out and about...I hope....it is sad around here as we lost one of our ladies unexpectedly;  sad, a lovely lady, a friend, one who shared time and stories with us.  She was a table mate and we will miss her.   Part of the trouble in living in a senior housing unit is that you become family and there is nothing to prepare you for the loss of a friend.   Doris was tall, stately, smiling eyes and had a tale to tell and often shared them with us.  She was a walking friend and many a day we would walk to the corner and back for exercise.   She had a wonderful sense of humor and found reasons to make us laugh out loud.   It is hard to accept as she had not been ill and if she had any complaints she kept them to herself.   So when you go to light a candle, keep her in mind and help light her way into the Garden Gate!!!

It is quiet outside this morning, cars all in and parked for the day.  The blinds are open in two of the hospital windows but the others are closed tight and folks are still snoozing.   There is no breeze at all, not a leaf stirring.  The parked trucks and cars are parked on 'my' side this morning so I see the front end of the cars rather than the back end for a change...smile...all in the best of shape and more white ones than not;  a few light grey and one is a small truck.  All in great shape, well taken care of.

So...that is it for this morning.  I am off to pack a bag for a trip to San Francisco to attend granddaughter Erin's wedding, so if you do not hear from me, know I am off having a great time.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU......take good care of you and find reasons to laugh out loud.    Love and Hugs. 

Hump Day....Wednesday....June 13th.

Good Morning!!!!  I opened the blinds to find a puddle or two in the driveway, must have rained during the night.  The sky is a soft blue, more of a light grey shade.  There is no wind at all, every tree and bush is still.  I feel the silence of early morning. At this minute there is not one car in the parking lot.   The shades are closed in the hospital wing.   A new day enfolds and  I wonder what it has in store for us.    I have a foot doctor to see and hopefully he can fix my toe or make it better.   If there is a next time around, I am asking for 'pretty' feet; have no idea why as no one sees them anyway.   I should not complain as these feet have served me well.  I am looking at my little plaque;  Prayer of Serenity...."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."  I have wished that for years so it is not from lack of trying...smile.

So,  I wish you a good day, all day.   I am off to make my coffee and open the other eye..smile.    I have mist in the air, puddles on the roadway and a new day to fill.   How lucky I am.

I wish you a 'good' day, all day doing what you love to do best.   Be good....be kind.....be gentle.....be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Monday All Over Again.

A New day Monday, all day.....smile....A New Week......to fill with good deeds and a hug or two.....a quiet morning, light blue skies, almost grey in color, trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there and the blinds are down in the hospital wing, no movement of any kind in the parking lot, all cars are parked for the day and the workers are slow to open the window blinds this morning.   My coffee cup is empty, the mind is slowly awakening and this is blogging time...if....you have something to blog about.   I enjoyed a quiet weekend, had some Gallery time and that is always fun.   The folks at the Gallery are great, happy to see you and ready to share time and conversations.   Good folks, nice to be with, nice to know and all hugs are free...smile.

So a new week begins.   I am ready to sing son  John a happy birthday today. ...that is if he answers his phone...ha, ha...he knows I will be calling and my off key rendition makes him laugh out loud. 

So...today, be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!   Have a good day, all day, and do your best to be the best you can be..smile.    Hugs to all.

Sunday - All Day!!!

AND TODAY is a good day to start believing in yourself and get on with your life.   Sunshine, no breeze, quiet, stillness, peace......not a bad way to start a new Sunday and enjoy the hours ahead.    It is quiet around here, not a bit of noise of any kind.  The shades are drawn in the hospital wing, the trucks and cars are parked with an open space or two;  a new day;  a work day for some;  a fun day for others and a church day for those who want to praise the Lord and ask for love and benediction.   A brand new day to fill with love and laughter.

My coffee cup is empty so that means I will talk less and go for a refill.   I am looking out the big picture window and the trees are not moving at all.  The sun is shining in the leaves making a beautiful scene to look at so early in my day.  The blinds are drawn in the hospital wing and the patients are snoozing which means they are getting stronger and well;  a good thing.  So....it is a new Sunday morning and the memories of a wonderful yesterday lingers.   It is always fun to go to the Gallery and join in the festivities.    Of course winning a basket filled with goodies helps to start a new day.    Now, if you were closer, .....I'd share.

I hope your Sunday is special, just like you.   I hope you make today a good day, all day.   I hope that you find reasons to laugh out loud...and....I hope you share YOU with those you love and like.

Go....enjoy today.   I am off for a refill, feet up for awhile and TV on....Sunday cowboys????  why not????  ha, ha.   Go for a refill of your favorite drink, hunker down in your easy chair and watch a bit of TV unless of course you have places to go an things to do.

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

Saturday...Tea Time!!!

Good Morning!!!

It is bright and quiet out in the driveway this morning.  We had a little excitement last evening when the fire trucks came in;   luckily there was no fire, just a false alarm but the firemen were quick to check things out.   The workers cars are all parked and the shades still drawn in the hospital wing.   One open but the occupant is sitting in her chair watching television and it looks like a tray with a coffee mug on it.   A new day.

The trees are still so there is no breeze at all this morning.  The sky is a soft baby blue and quiet is the name of the beginning of the day.   Today is the Tea at the Gallery which should be spectacular.  The ladies have been working hard to make it so.   I invited a couple of friends but they had already been spoken for so they will miss a special time with treats that make your taste buds stand up to be counted for.   Smile!!! 

I hope you have places to go and things to do today.   Make today one you will remember with smiles. 

I am watching one of the workers going home after her all night work night and she is carrying some goodies with her.  She may have treated and is taking home the crumbs to use up later today.    The new day begins and I have to find out what to wear to the tea....ha,ha...same old 'uniform' an outfit to dress up to be seen and the old stuff to be comfortable in.   

So......be good, be kind, be gentle....be a friend today.....hopefully I will see YOU at the tea....off for a coffee refill,  a bit of news, and stand in front of the closet and decide on what to wear....ha,ha,ha.....well, you do it too!!

Have some fun today, smile a lot, be good.....find a little mischief to get into.  Hugs to all.

Friday . . . Smile!!!

Good Morning!!!  Almost like the view from my window this morning.   I have a hospital building across from me, blinds down, folks asleep, worker cars all parked and silence.  The new color for automobiles must be grey as there are four grey cars parked in front of my window, two black and one white wagon.  Silence!!!! Looking out at the tree tops I see a clearing with a circle of tree limbs in an opening creating the look of a flower.  Nature has a way of its own.

A new day is starting.   It is quiet.   Silence!!! I wonder what is in store for us today.   Friday!!!   For starters I am off to make my coffee so I can get the brain in gear.   I hope you are still enjoying beautiful dreams and get a chance to sleep in.   I hope your Friday will be all that you want it to be as you prepare for a new weekend to do what you would like to do.    I hope that you find reasons to smile, to hug, to love and you share YOU with those you love and like.   Be all you can be....smile and you brighten your corner of the world....I am smiling as I think I have written these words many times....well, they are words to make you aware that you have a life to live today...so...go...live it.    Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU.   Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

I have the trees to look at but not that color in the sky as it is early and a soft baby blue, nothing moving at all, not a bit of a breeze.  The workers are coming in slowly and only two more spaces open in front of my window.   The blinds are still down in the hospital wing.  It is only after five a.m. and the new day has not yet started.    Mine has, coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill.....be right back.

AAH!!!!  Good hot, black, coffee......sure can get the taste buds going, now I want something good to go with it and the same old cry; 'there is nothing good in this house'  and there isn't....need a shopping trip to the grocery store.

The workers are walking across the parking lot, parking their cars, then the 'slow' walk into the hospital building.   There is no noise of any kind, at his moment, silence....stillness.....a brand new day starting quietly.....peaceful!!

I don't have a lot of new news, in fact I don't have any new news.   Patricia skyped me early and said she was starting back today.  She and Jock have had a terrific vacation up in Yellowstone which is ending much  to soon to please them....another few days wouldn't hurt at all, but....the proverbial but....it is time to return as vacations never ...never, last long enough. 

As for me, I would like to be on a slow boat to somewhere but I have no rich uncle to leave me the where-with-all;   I will have to be content to make good use of my hours and enjoy them as they make my new day worthwhile.   My wish would be to have some good words for you to enjoy but it is much to early for that....my brain is not in gear..yet!!!  I am working on it.

Go....have yourself a day to remember.   Do some of the things you love to do, do a few of the like to do and share you with those you love and like.   Be a mentor;  be a friend;   be YOU!!!  I am going to love you and leave you, refill my coffee cup and blog...about ????   um....have to think about that!!

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

Hump Day!!!

I am wishing you a rainbow day...here it is bright, early, no breeze of any kind, worker cars all parked for the day, the blinds still down in the hospital wing and I am on my seconds for hot coffee.

Good Morning, May your day be a day as bright and beautiful as this rose.

As for me, I am having seconds on my hot coffee;   about to finish blogging and am thinking of hunkering down with my book for awhile.    So....be good, be kind, be gentle and have yourself a day to remember....good deeds.....kindness.....and a lot of love for those you love and like.  Go....be magnificent today!!!  Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning !!

I would like to be here walking along the beach, smelling the salt air, bare feet in the sand....aah!!!! BUT....

Even bramble bushes are lovely.

Good morning.  How are you this morning?  I hope well and happy.   It is a lovely new morning with a sky filled with puffy white clouds and a bit of a light blue 'island' showing through at tree top level....still....quiet....shades still drawn in the hospital wing.   The cars are all in and we have one truck of silver grey this morning;  also a new small car that is a color I have not seen before, want to say a shade of deep blue, but it has a purple cast to it, strange and really not bad at all...makes the white coupe next to it stand out.   All the workers are in.   It is quiet....shades are down still, think I said that already but then I only have one eye almost open and an empty coffee cup...no caffeine, no open eyes, no brain in gear!!!! 

Today is Tuesday all day, and I did have invitation out this morning as the girls are going down to Manchester for a day trip.  I had just been there so thought they ought to have free reign so they could go and visit the area.   I, although I hate to admit it, am slowing down and the feet are in need of a new pair of walking shoes so I can get around better;  pinched toes just doesn't do much for me.  smile!!!

So I will stay put today, puzzle when I go up for the lunch time, and maybe I'll catch up on some reading when I get back.  The sun is out, it looks like a nice warm day to put the rocker on the porch, feet up and a novel in hand....sounds like a summer day to me.  I have another chair if you choose to join me, but no talking while the reading time is on...smile.

I am going to love you and leave you....go...have yourself a day to remember!!! Hugs to all.

Start of a New Week!!!

Good morning.  Daughter Patricia is up visiting in Yellowstone National Park this week;  um....wonder if she made friends with the local bears;  hope she doesn't make friends with one and think about bringing it home...smile.!!!!

It is early, about five thirty a.m. and the trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there.  The worker's cars are coming in slowly, no one in a hurry to get to work at five thirty a.m.;  you know they would rather be curled up in bed snoozing away. 

Yesterday, Sunday all day, was a quiet day.   Quiet days are good for us, although it is much more fun to have a bit of life, love and laughter in your day when folks drop in or you go out and about and see what is out there.

Granddaughter Erin has a friend visiting and is sharing her company;  fun and a lot of laughter...ah, the young ones...such fun to have around.   

I am out of coffee in my cup so will go for a refill, sit in my easy chair, turn on the television and put my feet up and wait for a decent hour to wake up...smile.   So I will love you and leave you to your quiet time...enjoy....don't forget doughnuts are good for you, make you fat and sassy but do put a smile on your face..ha..ha....love you....bye for now. 

Saturday

Our roadways and bi-ways are covered with this bright yellow colorful bush...spreads like wild fire and I understand it burns like it...so we need to be careful and we need to treat it like the weed it is and not think of it as beautiful...which it really is...a very colorful weed.

I have three banks, one fat piggy, which will take some time to fill..if at all..smile.  the other two are small and lean ..absolutely no noise when you shake them....smile!!!!  

It would be nice to be queen of the cactus but I am afraid of heights...smile!!!

I just got back from the lunch room, spent a little time with the big puzzle on the table with Lois and we didn't find any pieces.  It really is a very tough one.  It is slow going, and several other folks have had a try but have not come back as yet.    The big problem is not the puzzle itself but there is little or no light in the corner and no lamps to be had.  We need more light .

Lunch is over, most have gone to their 'caves' and are snoozing.   I have my door open, it is a beautiful day;  too lazy to walk to the corner today;  thought about it but then decided to skype instead.   Not much to talk about though.....sky is beautiful, full of clouds, tiny ones that are bundled together and not moving at all.   The worker's cars are all parked with only one or two spaces open at most.   A quiet Saturday and that isn't bad.

I miss Patricia who is off in Wyoming with Jock and a couple of family members.   I was hoping to see Erin and go for a treat but she has company and busy.  Christine is usually busy so I don't expect to hear form her but have high hopes she might think of  having a dinner break and invite me along...smile.....well, I can hope.!!!!  What is that saying about 'if beggars were horses...etc"  I perk up a the mention of a ride but then I am spoiled and want to go out the door....oh well.....beggars cannot be choosers....isn't that part of the old saying?

I am going to take my shoes off;  I am going to sit in my easy chair and make up my mind to either read my book, sketch a bit or watch the Saturday cowboys...smile....how well you know me....ha.ha.

I'm off...in more ways than one...but that is what happens when you get this old....but like Methuselah , cheated on that spelling, I will be satisfied with whatever comes this way today and relax and enjoy. 

Be good, be kind, be all you can be today and every day.  Be YOU....Be a friend and catch up with a bit of news from your end.   Hugs to all.

Friday all day!!!

Good Morning!!!

There is a deep red car in the lot this morning with a huge golden hanging in the window, should be quite the distraction for the driver...or not...it would be for me, but then I like a clear and clean windshield.  I do not drive anymore but I still prefer a clear windshield as I don't think a driver needs anything to distract  him or her.   All the cars are in, parked on 'my' side of the lot, right under my window.  Most of the windshields are clear which is a good thing as one doesn't need a lot of distraction while driving unless, of course, they are looking for a fender bender.   Let us hope for good safe drivers on our roads....

It is Friday morning and I have been sitting here at the computer for an hour or so.  My coffee cup has been refilled and empty again...hot and tasty....just doesn't last long.   I had nothing good to go with it so am feeling hungry.  I did bring home some left over pizza from our session at the Gallery where we were busy making little goodies for the Friday evening walk in town. 

I had a note from daughter Patricia who is enjoying Yellowstone this morning; out seeing the sights and hearing the sounds from this wondrous area.   It is a beautiful place to be and I know she will enjoy every moment.   When that geyser shoots up in the air it is mind boggling. 

I hope you find places to go, things to do to make your day a great one.   Enjoy family, friends, and be sure you have something 'good' this morning;  maybe a big fat jelly doughnut or raisin toast with peanut butter.....well some folks love it.  I am off....you don't have to be so quick to agree...smile.....and I am going to get dressed, put my shoes on and accept any invitation I get...if not, I'll walk to the corner and back...smile!!!!

Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault....be someone who loves life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...make your day the best one yet....be a lover!!!  Hugs to all.
