It's Thursday Morning!!!

Good Morning!!!!  Silence, blinds down in the hospital wing; worker's cars are parked on 'my' side, of the road this morning.  Looks like someone has a brand new grey four door with a big glass roof top,bet it gives a smooth ride.  There is one that actually looks purple, strange, or I should say different, a cross between Navy blue and Soldier blue;  good looking and different.

The little bird is on the roof top standing like a little statue, no movement at all, and the little tree is turning beautiful shades of golden yellow.  The huge trees in the back of the hospital wing tower over the roof top and the leaves are actually glowing in the early light.  Nothing moving....silence...

 A new day to enjoy, well I would if I didn't have to go to the dentist;  but..on the other hand I am glad I am going as there is a space between two teeth that should not be there and you can only imagine what a pain that is....no trouble unless one eats...ha.ha....

So...I wish you a good day, all day...I hope you find reasons to laugh out loud.  I hope you share time and hugs with those you love and like.   It is your turn...so catch up on your news and send a verbal hug. 

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

Hump Day!!!

I have a cup filled with coffee and there is nothing good in this house.....wonder if there is a way of ordering in....

A good thought...A good day to try to do all of the things you need to do, not want to do....smile!!

Good Morning. I have been sitting here at the computer for some time.  I have one eye open, the mind is still snoozing and isn't anxious to awaken...but it is a must and I am trying to think of some one thing that might interest you....but I haven't been anywhere or done anything that is worth shouting about.   Daughter Patricia has come and gone, leaving me goodies to 'fatten me up';  like I need help...ha.ha.   and I have my hot coffee at hand so have nothing to gripe about...but...I'll try and think of something.

I'll give you a break today and go shower and dress and out the door looking for "experiences' to tell you about...a trip through the dollar store....around the block???  . . . I'll think of something.  I wish you a good day, all day.  I hope you woke up feeling 'good' and are ready for your new day.  Go....be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

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

Here is a rose, just for YOU!!! 

Good morning.   It is a soft morning, sky is a very light baby blue, trees are colorful and not moving so there is no breeze this morning.   There is a big red bird on the rooftop across the way, the cars are all parked in front of my side, a new grey truck which is parked crooked...must be new...'don't touch me'...ha.ha.!!!   A white car with huge side wings, windows...look like fancy ears..and takes up two spaces...must be new...smile!!!  A small very odd shade of blue car is parked out there this morning, all in, all filled up and a new day begins.

My coffee cup is empty....be right back!!!

AAH!!!!  Coffee, coffee...the elixir of life early in the morning....although I am sure a few of you are sipping hot tea....with lemon???  enjoy!!

The Fall colors are showing in the sunlight this morning.  The sun is making the trees glow in russet and an almost light orange shade; beauty to see and admire as we know soon the leaves will be gone and the branches bare for another winter season...how did it come around so fast....seems time flies is a truism.

So, I have blogged...such as it is....I am off to watch some news and sit awhile, get dressed eventually and go upstairs for lunch time and more puzzling for a little while.   So, my day is planned and I am off to watch the news....you...go and have a great day doing what it is that you love to do....be good...be kind...be gentle to all you meet and greet...a hug or two feels good and doesn't hurt a bit.  Be a lover...why not??  It doesn't hurt a bit.    Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

Good Monday morning.   Sky is beautiful, a dull soft grey with a bit of baby blue showing among the tree tops, the worker cars all parked on 'my' side this morning and I can see in the windows but blackness is there with the exception of a few trinkets that hang in the window...no light so I cannot tell what they are.  There are two black, one white and one grey and a fancy roadster parked on my side this morning.  There is not a bit of dust on the cars, all look like they just went through a car wash.  A new green wagon type just came in and the spaces are filled right here so he, or she, has to drive toward the back of the lot.  Quiet...no breeze..one large black bird on the roof top and a new week begins. 

I had a good Sunday puzzling with the ladies then enjoyed their visit a bit later when we had a glass of wine and a few crackers....and a lot of conversation....smile....gab sessions never go out of style.   

So the weekend is over, a new week begins and plans and plots need to be thought up to make this new week special, fun, busy, and hopefully filled with love and laughter.   It is okay to be serious, but only for a short while, life is to short to be crabby, to busy to share, to cranky to care....smile....be a leader....be you!!

My coffee cup is empty so off I go for a refill.   I am going to sit in my easy chair, turn on the television and listen to the news forecaster enlighten me as to what happened in the wee hours.   Right now I am looking at brightness, no sunshine yet, but it cannot be far off....trees still....binds down in the hospital wing and quiet reigns.....ssh!!!!  don't make any noise or you might wake someone up who is not ready to be up and then you will hear some noise...ha.ha....you were called a what????   tsk, tsk, haven't heard that in a long while.   So...go....be YOU....be a light that beams, brings love and laughter and maybe a hug or two.    Know I am thinking of YOU, wishing you a day filled with love and laughter.   GO....be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Sunday Morning!!

Roll out the carpet to a new day;  Sunday, all day . . . light grey skies, one big bird on the roof top across the way, cars parked and the workers busy tending the patients in the hospital wing.   No noise of any kind;  silence....and awesome 'sound'.   I am awake, have had one cup of coffee...so far...but my intention is to love you and leave you and go for a refill.  I will turn on the television, check for some news and put my feet up on my hassock for awhile.  It is Sunday morning, all morning, and I don't have to be anywhere.  My girls are off having some fun and although I admit to being a tiny bit jealous, I am happy they are out and about having a little fun.   But....next time I am going....ha.ha.   well, wishful thinking might do it.

I hope your Sunday is a good one and you get to do the things you want to do...not have to do....give yourself a day and enjoy it to the fullest.  Be a friend, be a lover, be all you can be today and make every second one to remember.   It is Sunday all day...a day to rest....or not...ha,ha....the choice is yours.   Coffee....coffee...my cup is empty.....that has to be fixed and right now...I'm off...fill my cup, turn on the news, feet up on the hassock, Jelly doughnut in hand...but not for long...smile....and a new Sunday to enjoy.....join me....at least in mind and heart....I'd like it to be in person, my....wouldn't we have fun....so...be wise, be wicked, be YOU and enjoy your day, all day.  Hugs to all.

Saturday All Day!!!

 I hope you can hear the bugle....the rat-a-tat to wake us up....I know you want the 'noise' to go away and you want to turn over ..but..it is a new day..so....get up, wake up and smile.

It isn't quite this light  yet, but...give it time and it soon will be.

We will be picking up the leaves soon...yes the season is changing....Fall....a lovely time of year.

Can't think of a better way to wake up to a new day.

well, a cup of hot coffee wouldn't hurt...I think my coffee is ready so off I go to fill a cup, devour it, refill and come back to blog about ????  we will soon find out..ha.ha.!!!

Coffee...aah!!!!Pale sky, not much color to it this morning, trees are still, no wind, one big bird on the roof top and the worker cars are parked right under my window this morning.   You can look into the front windshield but can't see much.  Quiet prevails, a nice emptiness that gives you the opportunity to wake up at your own pace. 

I have said my 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"  So I am armed for the day and off I go..to do???  who knows, opportunity will knock and I will rise to the occasion and tell you about it tomorrow....Go....be good, have a day to remember and be kind, the key note to success.   Hugs to all.

P.S.  Yesterday was a quiet day, stayed in, did a bit of puzzling with the ladies, had a good lunch, and....sulked because I didn't get to go to the casino and lose all my petty cash...smile.

I'm Back!!

Good Morning!!   It is pitch black out my window, Thursday, early a.m., not a sound inside and a car parking outside, two workers in already and more to come.  One bird on the roof top across the way, wonder if it stayed there all night.  No mist this morning so maybe we will have clear skies today.   Yesterday turned out to be a lovely day and we went for an outing.  We had brunch out in a restaurant and a road trip which was interesting and fun.  We stopped at an open market and picked up a few apples, newly picked, bright and red and delicious.  It does us all good to be out and about and I think everyone enjoyed it.  I enjoyed the ride even though I make it often with daughter Patricia when we go out for a ride and follow the old haunts. 

The cars are in and parked, under my window, as they chose this side of the parking area this morning.  The big garbage truck is coming in and it is silent, the motor isn't even blaring for a truck that size.   The day begins but the folks over in the hospital wing are snoozing in, no sign of any movement at all...good for them, I wake up early...no rhyme or reason, just do and head for the kitchen, the coffee pot and the computer to say good morning to you.  So....I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend and make someone smile today.   Coffee.....coffee...my cup is empty....so, off I go for a refill, and start a brand new day.

Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!

A new Wednesday to work and play in....clear skies, baby blue, almost white, not a leaf stirring and all the worker cars are parked in front of my window this morning.   Quiet....silence....aah!!!!  The bird is on the roof top, the big one that looks a bit on the red side, have no idea what it is.  Two tiny birds sit below, but I think they are leaves and not birds.  The shape of birds is there but no movement of any kind and I don't think birds stay in one position overnight..smile.      I am laughing as the picture tells the date it was taken and the date changes but the tree remains as is...ha.ha.     This picture was actually taken in Brookings;  one of my favorites.   How lucky we are to be able to catch and hold onto a beautiful sight, a special place, aah!!!! 

There is smoke coming from the roof top across the way;  trees are still;   cars are parked for the day and a new day begins...wonder what it has in store for us....some good things I hope....a big of puzzle upstairs with the puzzlers;  a lot of laughter as someone finds a piece of the puzzle on the floor....of course, it had to be the one you have been looking for...smile!!

Wednesday is called 'hump day' and I guess it is as it is the middle of the week...with a few more days to follow before you can claim a whole weekend....time...a gift we should appreciate every day.

I need a refill of my hot black coffee.  I'd like something 'good' to go with it but 'there is nothing good in this house'  ....a refrain you often hear.....but there is more coffee and I need a refill, so...I am off , will put the tv on and find some news of the day, feet up and nothing on going for awhile.   I hope you find your way to your easy chair, turn on the news of the day, be sure you have your filled cup with you, the libation of your choice, and if you have something sweet to go with it...good for you...I'd let you share it if I were there...smile.    Go....have yourself a day to remember.    Be good, be kind, be gentle.....Go with God and you cannot go wrong....Be a friend...Be gentle...Be kind...Be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Tuesday!!

Good Tuesday morning. . . quiet....light grey skies, trees are not moving and the little birds, two of them, are sitting on the roof top across the way.  Smoke is coming from the chimney of the hospital wing , cars and trucks parked for the day and silence ....

My coffee cup is empty...I'll be right back....

I found a couple of chocolate chip cookies, not bad, but bacon and eggs would taste better at this time of the morning.  That does not mean I will not eat them...ha.ha....

Quiet, cars parked, a big bird on the roof top across the way...a new day... a Tuesday, all day....wonder what is in store for us....something good I hope....

No plans for the day.   I know the big puzzle on the table upstairs is waiting for attention but unless I get an invitation out I'll be looking for that one piece that must be lost...ha.ha...right in front of me and I can't see it...but the fun is in finding it...smile!!!

I hope your day is a good one..all day...I hope you find pleasure in all the 'pursuits of the day' and I hope you find a special spot to have your lunch, bring a friend, and relax and enjoy some down time. 

As for me, I  will love you and leave you and finish up my blogging and turn on the news, get dressed and then head out for a new day to fill...bright, sunshine, what's to complain about????  um...I'll think of something!!!

Have a good one...love you...Hugs to all.

Monday Again!!!!

A new Monday, cloudless sky, no breeze, two birds on the roof top, cars parked on 'my' side and not a noise of any kind..well my television is on and that always makes noise.  A new Monday, the start of a new week and I am wondering what is in store for us.   The hospital window blinds are closed tight, the worker cars are in and a new week begins.  My coffee cup is empty and I need a refill...right now...if I want the other eye to open and the brain to kick in....what to blog about...what to brag about....I don't have a clue....

AAH!!! Coffee, the brain responds, the eyes open, the fingers begin to move over the keys and a new Monday is here to start us off to a new week of???? who knows, I don't...I'd like it to be one filled with surprises...good ones....an invitation away...a mini vacation....a trip to walk along a sandy beach....a million dollars in my bank account and I'd treat us all to a trip somewhere...but where is the question....a beach?  a shopping trip?   Nah...with a million dollars and the prices of today we would most likely stay close bye...smile.   There is a spoil sport in every crowd...smile!!!

I am off to blog about ??? have no idea.  The sky is clear, almost a white this morning as there is little blue to the color of the sky.  The big red winged bird is on the roof top across the way and there is not a sound.   The television is noisy, nothing good on, so....off for a refill and blog......maybe something will come to the brain and I'll share;  otherwise go and refill your coffee cup and put your feet up and catch up with the news of the day.  Just be sure you have a good day, all day, doing what YOU love to do best.

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

Sunday morning; start of a new day!!

Good Sunday morning!!!!  The light is behind the tree tops, a pale blue, nothing moving, no breeze at all and there are a couple of worker cars in place, but not many.  It is early;  Sunday morning;   and folks like to sleep in.  I think about going back for a little more snoozing but once the eyes are open they want to stay open and not miss anything...smile!!!  It is quiet, two little birds on the roof top across the way, a couple of cars parked and quiet prevails.   The blinds are down in the hospital wing, no lights of any kind, so the folks are getting in a little extra time this morning. 

It is soundless;  even the trees are quiet, nothing moving, well a car or two is coming into the lot to park for the day and the worker is ready for a new day.   I have one eye open....coffee cup is empty again....and I have no news to share as I didn't go anywhere or do anything to brag about.    Well now that isn't true as I did go over to my daughter Patricia's house and had a tasty morsel or two.   She is an excellent cook and seems to like it..smile....Christine joined us and we had a feast, even some left overs to finish off today....no cooking!!!  Yeah!!!  Fall is coming, the weather is changing, soon we will have the cooker put away for the winter months and the inside cooking gets preference...some really delicious meals to look forward to.   With the cooler weather coming in the pot comes out to fill with all the good 'stuff' and some delicious soups and stews are in the offering.   AND, holidays will be coming...but I am not one to rush the seasons...ha, ha....just a bit of fore warning so you can stock up for the special days ahead.   So......I want you to have a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Be a good friend.   Get some of the chores done and out of the way and then find a corner to hide out in and grab your favorite reading material....or choose a movie to watch, feet up and relax.   Make today special, just like you.  Have a good one!!!!  Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning!!

Good Morning!!!  I'm smiling...at YOU!!!  I hope your day is a good one filled with all of the beauty of Fall, sunshine on the trees making the leaves bright and beautiful in their Joseph's coat.   Stillness this morning, shades down in the hospital wing, cars all parked for the work day and a new morning...bright and beautiful..is here to greet us.   I have my coffee cup empty so am off for a refill...be right back!!

.........AAH!!!!  Coffee!!!!  Hot, tasty, opens the eyes and does a lot for waking up the body....cars parked outside my window and there are three white ones and one grey this morning.   The sky is a soft blue, almost white and the trees are still with the exception of a spindly spot moving with the breeze.  Two tiny birds are sitting on the roof edge of the hospital wing;  the larger bird of deep red feathers is sitting just above them.  The sun is up and making the trees come alive; a beautiful Fall morning;  if I wasn't so lazy I'd put my shoes on and go out for a walk.

I see there is a new four door car out in the lot this morning;  must be brand new, even has a window in the roof.  It is almost a creme color rather than white, good looking and I bet expensive.  There are three white cars this morning;  must be the new color and they all look brand new.   Two have roof windows, one doesn't and the little lonely grey one looks lost.   There is still one space open but no one has claimed it yet. 

Who drank my coffee????  My cup is empty....well, that will never do.  I am off to start my day and the first thing I will do is turn on the television, check the news, feet up on the hassock, a refill of coffee and the start of a new day....I wonder if my girls would like to go out for dinner tonight..um...I will go ask them;  I'd take you along if you were here...

Go..have yourself a good day, all day....be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!!! 

A new Thursday...all day!!!

Start your day with a small, short, prayer and be thankful for all you do have.  The sky is pale blue, no breeze this morning and the little bird is on the roof top looking out over its world.  The cars are parked, although I see one empty space in front of my window, someone is late this morning or has the day off.

It is quiet, blinds drawn in the hospital wing and the Fall colors are bright and beautiful this morning;  silence;   amazing!!

It is Thursday all day and I am going out for a jaunt with my daughter Patricia.  I think we will go junking and look for that treasure that has been alluding us for years;  who knows, we may find one yet....what is that old saying??? "Live in High hope and die in despair", well that maybe but on the other hand the special item we are not looking for may just show up today...smile!!!

My coffee cup is empty;  the tv is not on;  so no news of the morning....no wind so no movement on the tall trees or the low bushes...smile!!!   One of the patients is sitting in his wheel chair walking himself, feet moving one step at a time and one foot in a fancy shoe.  He is having a bite to eat, probably a breakfast role, hopefully a sweet one.   Well, I would want it sweet!!!

Speaking of sweet, I could use a bite to eat...or maybe talk my daughter into stopping for something good....off to put my shoes on....I'll 'report' back later...wish us luck...the rusty shade on the bushes is like  a 'pot of gold';  nothing moving..quiet.......silence......a new day...enjoy it.  Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!!!

Ha, ha, ha......she is close enough to look like me...that white head and sweater and we wont talk about shape...ha...ha...now if she makes a stab at bending over we will be sure it is not me...ha.ha.  bending has gone out of style for some of us but it is not from lack of trying.   Looks like fun!!

It is hump day, mid week, no breeze, quiet, shades down in the hospital wing, cars parked on 'my' side this morning and not a junker in the bunch....all look new and shiny....two light grey out there this morning and the rest dark blue or black.   Two little birds are on the rooftop and one big one, must be waiting for a new day to begin.   Me too, and my coffee cup is empty so if I am to blog a bit I had better go for a refill.

AAH!!!!! HOT COFFEE!!!!!!  A mist in the trees this morning.  Sky is pale, no wind at all, one bird on the roof top, and silence!!!  Plans for today???  Nope....not a one....I may come up with one after awhile but right now I am enjoying coffee hot and  good....not a crumb of anything good in this place....I looked!!!

I hope your day is going to be special, just like you.   I hope you find peace and contentment and share you with those you love and like.    Have a little fun in your day and that is after the chores are done...wonder how come they never go out of style....share YOU with those you love and like...be magnanimous!!!!  Go....be YOU and put a little love and laughter into your day today.  Hugs to all.

A New Day

AAH!!!!  Tulips and Sunshine!!!  A good way to start our day!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!

It has been awhile since you have taken time out on a summer night and laid down on the grass to look up at the stars and  see many of the wonders of our world.    I remember a time when I joined my favorite family across the street and we listened to tales of yore from an Irish mother who had time for her eight children and didn't mind adding me, sharing and caring came naturally and how much love was shared on a summer evening.   Thinking of her brings back a lot of happy memories.

The workers are coming in slowly for a new work day in the hospital wing.   Shades are still down, cars parked on 'my' side this morning...have been all of last week, so it must be time to switch sides.   There are two grey, one white and one black parked in front of my window this morning.  The red bird is on the rooftop across the street and silence and no wind at all completes the picture of early morning.  I have a tiny bird sitting on the fence this morning. Well, not for long, it just flew away. 

My coffee cup is empty, no television on for news so you know what I will be doing....

I hope your day is a good one and you enjoy your seconds.   I am sure you can find things to do...a walk out might be good;  watching some news on television with feet up and a coffee on hand might even be better...you decide...as for me, I am off for a refill, feet up, tv on, and a big red fire truck just pulled in...wonder who burned their toast this morning...smile!!!

Go...have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Hugs to all.

A New Monday Morning!!!

Good Monday Morning!!!!!   A quiet morning, no breeze, the trees are still and the shades are drawn in the hospital wing.  The worker cars are parked on my side of the street this morning and I would venture to say that all the workers are in and busy already.   The window blinds are not up as yet but then it may be the workers are giving the folks a little more sleep time. 

I am up, not awake, but the brain is straining to say good morning and tell you it is the start of a lovely day...Monday, all day.....yes, they do come around fast;  I am still on weekend time..ha.ha.   well it is hard to give up the good hours and get back to a new work week;   laundry;    never ending;    dusting as the dust mites had a ball covering everything in sight.   A little polish and I'll be as good as new.   . . . but later as I want to finish the blog and make our time last a little longer.    What are your plans for the week?    I don't have any..yet...smile..but I will work on it and see what I can come up with.   I need a refill, cup is empty and that will never do.   So....YOU have a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Make someone you love or even like a happy soul today;   speaking of souls, be sure you light a candle for those who have gone on to bigger and hopefully better times.    It is MONDAY ...all day.....how lucky we are to have a new one to play and work in.   So...be good, be kind, be generous and be loving.....open those arms, give out a few hugs and a peck on the cheek never hurts.....be a Monday blessing and start your week caring and sharing.  Hugs to all.

Sunday.....All Day!!!

 He loves me, he loves me not.....puff, puff,  blow, blow.....he loves me, he loves me not.......natures way of telling tales...smile!!!

Life is in the eye of the beholder so look sharp today, be wise, be frugal, be a beacon of light and shine today!!

Good morning.  The sky is beautiful right now, morning light, the trees are still, the two little birds are on the roof top, the workers are driving in and parking and a brand new day begins.....wonder what is in store for us, good things I hope. 
My coffee cup is empty and Maxine is stirring her cup saying she is not grouchy by nature.  It takes constant effort....I agree, practice every day.  My cup is empty so I am off for a refill....be right back.

Aah!!! Coffee!!!  Hot,  tasty,   a wake-upper,  aah!!!!!  No sign of a breeze this morning, a few dark clouds in the sky which is so pale it looks almost white.  The contrast is interesting as picture clouds develop and the imagination goes for a walk...from where I am sitting, open door, a good view of the sky  which has cloud shapes of a mountain with billowing smoke rising, another could be a huge eagle and below are the magic color of Fall in the big bushes that line the driveway where the worker's cars are parked. It is Sunday, all day, and I see one of our men is out there walking his little dog, the dauchound 

Two notes this morning.  I lost this one, or thought I did, but the lost is found and you might enjoy reading it anyway.    Two writings  ....better than none..ha.ha.  love you, more every day...go....have a g r e a t one a Tony the Tiger would say!!!

Sunday Morning!!

Good Sunday Morning!!!!  It is quiet.  The worker cars are parked......two tiny birds on the roof top across the way, a few dark clouds in the sky,  and nothing moving around here.  The trees are still.  The shades drawn in the hospital wing....silence!!!!  Coffee cup full,  aah!!!!  Sunday....a day of rest....church day for some, always a prayer day and outside the bushes are an amazing color, a mixture of green and gold with a bit of yellow mixed in.   Fall!!!!  A really special time of year.   Flat top clouds this morning;  space ships in flight..smile!!

I was off junking yesterday so have a few new 'thing's to look at.   I have a new candy dish, like I needed one...smile.....much to pretty to leave behind and looks so nice when filled...all I need is to go shop for something to put into it.   If you know where I can find some non fattening candy let me know but chocolates always have a special call all their own.   Did you notice that you cannot pass a candy dish without sampling!!!  I know that for a fact.

I am off for a refill of my coffee and turn on the television for some morning news.   I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Take time out this week to drop me a note.  I want to hear how you are and what you are up to.   Be good, be calm, be cool, be YOU....enjoy every  moment and share you with those you love and like.   Coffee!!!!  AAH!!!!!  Have some fun today;  I'll be back!!!    Hugs to all.

Saturday...All day!!!

Good morning!!!  How are you this morning?   The sky overhead is a beautiful soft blue, tree tops are still, birds on the roof top across the way and the worker cars are all parked on my side of the street this morning.   I think the leaves are glowing in a light orange shade, showing off the color of Fall....beautiful as we head for a change in our weather.   Winter will soon be here, seems too soon to suit me but then I remember some of the very hot days and think it isn't all bad...smile.

It is Saturday, all day, and I have no special plans.   Yes, I do....daughter Pat skyped me and made a date to go junking so I do have plans for today....and lunch out...a big fat juicy hamburger might be in the offering but right now I am not hungry as I have my coffee cup right here...empty...so off for a refill.  I Have Maxine saying "I'm not grouchy by nature.  It takes constant effort"...I know just how she feels...ha.ha.ha.

So, my advice for the day....and you know I am always full of it....is for you to have a good day, all day, doing what YOU love to do best.    Go...be YOU!!!

Hugs to all.

Friday....All Day!!!

Good Morning!!  Like the people in your life, each flower is different, beautiful in their own way and bring a special blessing into our lives.  Have I told you how glad I am that YOU are a part of my life....

It is early, don't think the clock has ticked past five a. m. yet, but it is working towards a new day and soon the sun will be up bright and beautiful and a brand new Friday will be greeting us. 

My coffee is hot and tasty.  I had a piece of dried up left over spice type cake, you know the breakfast special of left overs...smile.

There is no view out my window as it is much to early and the sky is a shade of blue not seen by many unless they are prone to get up with the chickens.   It is almost a grey shade and the trees are still, nothing is moving and I see a light in one of the hospital rooms.  Someone is awake early today.   I can tell you it is quiet;  nothing moving, no noise of any kind, early morning silence and it is awesome.   My coffee cup is empty so off I go for a refill, turn on the television and find some news.   A new day, let us hope and pray it is going to be the best one yet.   No plans, but will develop some along the way.   Who knows, I may get an invitation out, or may even bump into YOU....that would be a boon and I'd enjoy that. 

Be good, be kind, be gentle and treat a friend like a true friend today....did you know hugs do not hurt....try one or two today and find out for yourself.   I am off for a refill of my empty coffee cup;  the Navy blue one with Debbie Macomber of Cedar Cove, Washington written on it.  I'd share if you were here.

Make your Friday special, just like YOU!!!   bye for now...as the expression goes..."later gater"  smile....I'll be back.....Lucky YOU....ha, ha.  well I think so...or lucky me for sure.  Go...have a special Friday and find reasons to laugh out loud.   Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

It is Thursday morning and the trees are still, not a leaf moving this morning.  The worker cars are all parked on my side of the street today and I would say all the workers are in and busy.  The shades are still down and not a leaf is stirring.  There is a purple car out there this morning and I mean purple or I think it is called 'French Blue';  bright and deep in color with a big white sticker in the rear window.   There is also a small pickup truck in a shade of very light tan, almost a white.  All the workers are in for the day.   The Fall colors are really beautiful.  I have a tall bush outside my patio that is really striking and so alive showing the change of season.   Winter is coming and I think all to soon as I am really not done with summer.   I still have thoughts of a beach trip before the season changes. 

I have an empty coffee cup...now that is not tolerated around here...smile!!!  I have a dark blue Debbie Macomber  cup and it was full a short while ago but not anymore ...so..you know where I am headed.

Have yourself a good day, all day....doing what you love to do best.    Make someone you like feel good about themselves and throw in a hug...honest they don't hurt a bit....try it, you may find you like it and want more.   Hugs make our world go around....I got my first hug this morning as Pat came with a treat and that is where I am heading now...the kitchen....what did she bring?  Something fattening I'm sure...smile!!!! 

So, I will love you and leave you to your 'pursuits' of the day......me, I'm heading for the easy chair, some news on tv and a full cup of hot coffee with a little something to go with it...Hugs to all.

A New Tuesday....all day!

 The sky is light and bright at the minute but it is very early and the day has not yet begun....soon it will be hot...hot....hot...yes another summer day to enjoy..or not..smile......give it a try and hunker down in the cool of the inside..air conditioning what would we do without it?  I'd hate to find out....

I am sure we could find something good if we rode over here.   Lots of good 'stuff' to choose...think of a large luscious garden tomato....yum.....I could go for that.

It is summer...it is hot....you go out...not me!!

Good morning.   It is bright, soft blue, no wind, trees are still and nothing is moving...cars parked in front of my window this morning.  Blinds down in the hospital wing..quiet and two little birds are on the roof top across the way...a new day.  I think I heard the word 'hot' mentioned.....a summer day!!

It will be an 'in' day, too hot to go out and about, unless one finds an air-conditioned spot to  hide out in....I'm thinking, I'm thinking.....

If I am not mistaken the days are called 'dog days' and they manage to come about every summer whether we like it or not.   This morning the sun is shining on the top of the trees catching the bronze coloring of autumn.  No breeze at all a quiet stillness that is awesome.  The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning so I can look into the car windows, can't see much but blackness and the card hanging from the mirror inside the car.

So a brand new day begins.....go and make it the best one yet.    I am thinking summer heat...ice cream...go together, ha, ha....well then, you might like sherbet better...your choice, make it a good one.

Go....be YOU....have a day that is bright and beautiful...just like YOU!!

Words and Pictures!

Some words make sense!!

Some scenes make for beautiful memories.

I never met a flower I didn't like

Words to live bye

Your deed for today

Good Morning!!!!   It is bright and quiet outside my window this morning;  the two little birds are on the roof top.  The big bird is up on the higher ledge and all is still, cars parked under my window, a navy blue with a rack on top, two white, and one grey in the close proximity of my eyes.   Not a bit of a breeze;  Fall colors glow in the trees, window shades down in the hospital wing and you an 'hear' quiet.    A new day, another Monday to start a new week and hopefully a good one.   I have no special plans but that doesn't mean I cannot make some....I'll have to give it some thought.    I know right now I have to go for a refill as my coffee cup is empty.    That first cup goes down like it is suppose to...hot, quick, tasty and aah!!!!

Vanilla fingers are delicious for breakfast,  probably an extra calorie or two but who is counting....not me.    Coffee is hot and tasty, probably wake me up and hopefully send a word or two into the brain department so I can share a few words with you this morning.   How are you?   I hope good, healthy and content with your world.    A great weekend has come and gone, a little time at the Gallery which is always fun and the nicest folks to share some time with...the pictures, the oils, the water=colors add a bit of life, love and smiles to time which seems to go faster every day.   You can feel Fall in the air;  a change of season;  a busy time coming up..yes...you know the word...Holidays....ha, ha....well some one has to remind you that it will soon be 'that' time of year and it is never to early to start giving it a little tiny bit of thought.  Shopping time coming up and it is never to early to give that some thought.   Ha, ha, how mean can I get....a list...and Fall sales go together...shop early and save. 

So.....I wish you a good day, all day.    Be good, be calm, be quiet, be a beacon of light for someone who is having a 'dark' day.   Friend ....a nice word....a necessary one....so go about getting your good deeds done and then as the Irish would say, "have the rest of the day to yourself'.    Hugs to all.

Good Sunday Morning!!!

AAH!!!!!  I could use one of those!!!!  Sunday morning, sun is out, the trees are in full Fall color and very beautiful, no wind at all, stillness, and two tiny birds are hopping along the fence outside my window.  The worker cars are parked on this side of the driveway this morning so I can see into the car windows, um...nothing to see..ha,ha....some sort of tassel is the charm that hangs in the window, one looks like a tassel and the other car window I can see from here has a small red and white article hanging in the window , bright red, looks a bit like a fire hydrant.   So....a new Sunday morning and all is quiet...silence is good...allows the brain to activate and think...about?????  to early to tell...smile.

I hope your Sunday is a good one.   I would appreciate a prayer or two when you get to church this morning.   If you light candles be sure and light one for me and mine, we can always use 'a leg up' . . . I'll return the favor when I next stop in to light a candle. 

We have a reception at the Gallery today and that is always fun.   I enjoy meeting and greeting the folks as they come in.    So, I am going to love you and leave you and get dressed and ready for a morning pickup, set up to do, and coffee to put on and I am always willing to be a taster..go....have yourself a day to remember, hopefully filled with lots of love and laughter.    Be a friend today....good deeds and hugs .....what could be better than that? 

Have to put my shoes on, open the door and go out....a new day...a busy day...a day to meet and greet lovely folks.....a new artist showing and friendly faces...a good day to be alive and well.  How lucky I am.    Go....find something wonderful to make your day bright and beautiful just like YOU. 

Saturday Morning

Good morning, foggy out there this morning.  The trees look very beautiful wrapped in a haze of fog and the little birds are on the roof top, two of them right now, along with a couple of tiny ones on the ledge below...might be something going on but so far only the cars and trucks already parked and silence prevails.  I have to say that the trees in the fog have a beauty all their own.   There is no wind, only Saturday hours to use up...bet we can fill them easily.   I have catch up to do today as I was off and running yesterday.   One pays a price for leaving chores undone as they wait patiently for your return..smile!!

  My coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill.   I have chores to do today and plan on an easy day.  I may even find reading time today as I plan a do nothing day, feet up, book in hand or Saturday cowboys...ha, ha.!!!

So...find something you love to do and do it.  find someone you love to be with and join them....and while you are at it...have a good day ..all day.   be YOU..be Good, be kind, be generous to a fault and turn up the corners of your mouth, no, no, no grimace....a smile.....a big one.....surprise yourself ...ha.ha.   hugs to all.

Friday Evening

Hello.    I have been off and about and not hanging around as I had places to go and things to do.  The little bird is still on the roof top and seems to be content.  The air is cooler, but it is not Fall yet and I am tired of hot and sultry weather...but not tired enough to stay in...smile....I was invited to go the Casino and you know that I never learned to say no to such an invitation.   The ride is always lovely, the company always good and of course the chance to play and win a million is always in mind but never, and I mean never in the pocket book as the machines have a playful thought of teasing you with the thought of winning a million but parts with a few shekels and grins...and that is just the machine...smile.   I like to play Keno and try a series of special numbers that are as ancient as I am and only a few come up while the others stay hidden in the machine.  The point is that you can have a winning combination but it is illusive and hard to find so you just combine a few and hope for the best...smile.

It was fun to go to the Buffet and fill up.   The food is good...tasty...and you pick and choose from soup to desert and all you can possibly hold.   And....the ride back is always short, or at least seems so, as you join the parade of cars wending their way along the highway.   I usually get to sit in the rear seat of a car and I have the delightful time of studying the cloud formations.   The imagination soars and you could write a tale or two as you find people, places and faces within the formations.   It is a wonderful past time and fun. 

So I did neglect you today, not meaning to, of course, but you could have come along had you been here instead of there.    Give that a little thought, maybe you will decide a trip this way isn't impossible...maybe a bit hard but thinkable..smile!!

I am 'home';  have had a few drop ins, one brought her bottle of liquor and we made a high ball...been awhile, but I still can make a good one...ha.ha.   The fan is on , the trees are still, it is still light out thee and there are hardly any cars in the lot.   It is Friday evening ..feels like Sunday....I have laundry to do but have to wait until tomorrow.  Today is my day but as I told you, I had other 'fish to fry', smile!!!

So I did not forget you and thought of you a dozen times wishing you were there 'egging' me on.   I didn't leave all my shekels behind and will go another day and try again. Meanwhile, back to earth, to work, to catch up and as the old saying goes... "live and love another day'.....I'd like it to be with YOU but beggars cannot be choosers...lucky you...or you would be sitting right here.  smile!!!

So....Go....have a good rest of the day to yourself and catchup with a note or two to me.   To those who called and I did not return them..now you know..smile.   I love you and am thankful for YOU....catch up with all your news...hope it is good and you are feeling G R E A T!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning!!!

Some pictures bring to mind sweet times, good times, time stood still for a very short time when you spent it with someone you loved.  This picture brings to mind my daughter Eileen who has gone on before us to clear the pathway for us to follow.    Driving up the highway to Auburn to spend the day with Eileen was a highlight in my life.   She was always ready to share herself with family and friends, sharing and caring and making a day bright and beautiful. 

Today, the sky is a pewter blue, trees standing still, not a bit of a breeze and the worker cars are parked on 'my' side of the street, right under my window, all sizes and shapes, one light grey, four on the dark side, either black or blue in shade.  The workers are in doing what they do best and the blinds are up in the hospital wing windows   It is silent right this minute, nothing moving, no noise of any kind.   My coffee cup is empty....so...off to fill it, put on the television for news and find out what has gone on in our world since I shut it off last evening.  A time to wake up slowly, sip hot coffee, watch the news and get started on a new day.    So.....get up, get going...fill that cup with your favorite beverage and put a smile on your face...a new day...hopefully a 'banner' day;  one for the books, as they say!!!    AND...the bird is on the roof top sitting silently.  I hope your day is a good one, filled with love and laughter;  a little hard work to keep things even, and a chance to share a hug or two with those you love and like.  Go...be good, be kind, be gentle, be a blessing today.  Hugs to all.

A New Day!!!

Good Morning.  I have been sitting here at the computer for hours, just fooling around, thinking about something to write about but the brain is empty;  no news, nothing happened that you have not already heard about or are probably not even interested in.   I have been day dreaming.  I have been looking out the window at the bird on the roof top, sitting patiently, waiting for a new day to begin.  The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze this morning.  The blinds are down in the hospital wing and the first four cars are parked in front of my side of the road this morning.  Quiet prevails....no noise inside or out....but it is very early and those who can will sleep away another few hours.   My coffee cup is cold and empty so you know what I will be doing soon...yep!!!  off for a refill, sit in my easy chair, news on, and feet up on the hassock for at least another hour or two...way to early to even think about dressing and going out the door...but the thought is always there..smile!!

I hope your day is a 'good' one all day.  I hope you find things to do that you want to do.   I hope that you find love and laughter today and share it with those you love and like.   As for me, I am off for a refill, maybe the coffee will wake the brain up and I'll think of something to write about.    The worker cars are parked.  A few are walking bye to enter the hospital building for their work day and one or two stops for a latte or a special bun.  I wonder why they don't find something good in the kitchen over there.   Maybe they have rules and regulation that forbid eating the hospital foods...who know, I certainly do not..smile!!!

So be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU and share YOU with those you love and like.   I think you should be scheduled for four good deeds today, so...get busy and think....find someone in need...share you with those folks and make the day a much better one.   As for me, I"m off to refill my coffee cup, hunker in my chair and watch some news before I have to put my shoes on and go out the door to greet a new day.

Go!!!!!  BE YOU!!!!!  Share and care and don't forget I could use a verbal hug now and then.....hint, hint.........Make your today the best one yet.  Hugs to all.
