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

Tuesday Morning

Good morning. The sun is shining on the tall trees and there is no wind at all this morning so all is still. The little bird is on the roof top and the worker cars are parked on my side so I am looking into parked car windows, four black cars and one white so far...the white one looks like a small wagon. The news is on and the woman's voice is grating. The faster she talks the more nasal she sounds. Maybe if I go refill my coffee cup I'll be more generous with my words...smile. AAH!!! Coffee, so good, hot and tasty. The trees are very tall and stately reaching into a very light baby blue sky. The sunshine is making the leaves come alive and quiet prevails. We have a new Tuesday to deal with. I wonder what this day will bring. I have no special plans as yet, but will plot and plan to get into some mischief before the day is over. A stop at the grocery store is always on the list as the cupboards are bare, not surprising as I manage to eat anything and everything that is not tacked down Right now the sun is shining on the roof top of the hospital wing. The little bird is sitting on the roof top over looking the world. The trees are still and the varied colors of green are amazing. Some have golden yellow leaves, some have deep green leaves and some are a mixture of both. The sky is baby blue, and the suns rays are making shadows on the side of the hospital building. There are two little birds over on the flowered bush, bet they are making a nest. I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do....not have to do...smile!! So, enjoy your today!! Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning!!!

The sun is shining. The bird is on the roof top. The worker cars are parked and there is a new soft yellow truck out there this morning, a banana shade. The sun is shining on the bushes across the way and the little bird is feasting on a bird feeder. There is frost on the roof top and a new Sunday begins. I am in need of a coffee refill so will love you and leave you. Go...enjoy your coffee or whatever you choose for an eye opener. No rush, no fuss, at least for awhile. The quiet of a morning is really a blessing. My little plaque called the "Prayer of Serenity" is here on the desk: "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." Make your Sunday a day of happy moments creating smiles and a lot of love for those you hold close in heart.Go!!! Be a ray of sunshine!!! Hugs to all.

Saturday Evening!!!

Hello!!! It has been a beautiful sunshine day and I was lucky to be out and about with my daughters and grand daughter for breakfast; always fun; always delicious; always a special treat with my 'fair ladies' Yep, I am lucky, blessed and have no complaints this morning...smile!! It was a day to go junking; we did make a few stops and we didn't find any treasures but had fun looking. I managed to find some books, so you know my bookcase is already loaded but one more book cannot hurt. Now to make time to read. The weather will be warming up and the rocking chair can go out on the porch and then I will have a hideaway for reading. The day itself was beautiful. Warm...sunshine...a slight breeze to move the tree leaves and the flowers seem to brighten in the sunshine. All in all, I had a good day, all day and cannot complain. ha..ha.....who would listen?? I have been reading most of the afternoon...a Clive Cussler book and he is good....so that is where I am heading, back for another chapter or two, before I turn on the television and get into one of the shows. My coffee is hot and tasty but there is nothing good in this house to go with it..... I'll be back tomorrow....sleep sweet, hugs to all.

Friday Morning

Good Morning!!! The sun is shining, the trees are still and the red rose bush across the way is shining in the sunlight. The bird is on the roof top and all of the worker cars are parked on my side this morning. Only one backed in....ha.ha. there is always one....I see a new light grey wagon out there this morning. The window has a lot of junk hanging, looks like a doll in a gold suit. Not a thing moving at the moment, all is quiet. We have a new day and it looks like a lovely sunshine day. My little vase looks lovely here on the desk even though it is empty. Not sure it needs anything but if I find some lovely little flowers I will put them in it. It is very quiet around here, amazing how many like to sleep in. My coffee cup is empty so I am going for a refill, hunker down in my chair, watch some news on the television and put my feet up for awhile. I have no plans so do not have to rush to put my shoes on. There is a new roadster in the lot this morning. It is white with a tan top,good looking and I bet gives a good ride. Each car is different, each a different color, and all look like they are new. The silver four door has more 'stuff' hanging in the window, something white and beady looking, looks a bit like a parrot. So, I have no new news for this morning. I am off to shower and dress for the day. There are no plans that I know of but I am always open to a suggestion or two. So.....make hay while the sun shines.....have some fun today; remember the old saying about all work and no play.....learn and live a little. Go.....Have yourself a day to remember!! hugs to all.

Thursday Evening

Hello. I had a short snooze in my chair, yes, I am getting to "that" stage of the game as I was out shopping or I should say 'looking' today and that requires a lot of stamina. My daughter Patricia and I went junking...for better word of looking for treasures that do not cost a lot of money and , of course, articles or items you just cannot live without. We have a shop here that we frequent and it is filled with treasures. Today I found a glass vase about six inches tall, cut glass, with flowers and leaf designs that is beautiful. I think it will be just the right size for the desk and now all it needs is flowers. I enjoy 'junking' and have such fun finding treasures that need a home....smile .....and I have little room for much more. I think each time we go 'junking' I find something to bring home and then have to find a place to put it. I think the vase has found its home as it sits right here on the desk and is a perfect size. It has what is known as a fluted edge, beautiful flowers and stems and is heavy, real cut glass. I would say I found a treasure..smile. So, now I have reached the limits for the desk as I have a small wooden angel holding 'the Prayer of Serenity" plaque, a glass floral holder filled with my pens and pencils. I have a small brown or tan vase that will have to go as it has lost its spot as I make room for a new beauty. The little bits of this and that which make our lives easier. I am smiling as I wonder how long before I think of something else to exchange...but...not for awhile. I have to give this a little time..smile. So today was a good day. The weather is perfect, not hot, not cold, just right. smile. Lunch out is always good and we know the right spots to frequent. I hope your day was a good one. I hope you found places to go and things to do that make you smile. I am off to my easy chair and catch up with some loose papers that need to be looked at and tossed. I may make a cup of hot tea and try hard not to have 'something good' to go with it. Have yourself a treat and then a good sleep so you stay healthy and happy. I had a good day, all day, so no complaints from here. Smile!! I am off to love you and leave you..I will be back...what is that about the proverbial penny???? Sleep tight....Be content. Hugs to all.

Wednesday Evening around six fifteen p.m.

Hello. No visitors today, been a quiet Wednesday .... all day .... smile. There is a breeze and the tree leaves are swaying; the short bushes and trees in front of the hospital building are very beautiful in the sunlight. Some are showing off with new leaves and one is a brilliant red and the wider bush has colored leaves on the top which are more on the orange blend of color while the tree, small and leafy is loaded with light green leaves. All look lovely this time of evening. The folks inside of the hospital wing have their shades open so they can enjoy them. The bird is up on the roof top, sitting quietly, hasn't moved in some time. The birds are nesting n the red bush and every now and then one wings its way across the road and flies by my window. It doesn't stop to say hello...or sit on my sill but it is more than welcome to... It has been a quiet Wednesday. No company this afternoon. I had been gone all morning as I had breakfast out with my girls and that is always fun. Both are busy today. I think Christine has a new young lady to train over at the Gallery. I didn't get over to see the new show but hope to before the week is over. I did get my doctor visit in and I fared well. I didn't hear what they said about weight and I didn't ask...smile!!! I am getting deaf, slowly and surely and some things one does not want to hear...ha.ha. I seem to be doing what I should be doing as he had no complaints. He did mention drinking more water....I have never been a good water drinker...coffee...tea...and water one in awhile...so I will have to try and change my ways and add more water to my diet. I guess we all need to do that as the bodies require it. So I will make a pact with myself and see what I can do about improving. There has been nothing on going here, so there is little news to add I work the big puzzle every lunch time upstairs with two other ladies and one gentleman. We are doing well but it really is a very slow puzzle. It is good though as it keeps us busy. There are three of us who are really working at it but every now and then another person will join but fizzes out after not finding a few pieces. It takes patience and not everyone is patient. ha..ha. So..that is my news for today. The weather is beautiful. The worker cars are new as I think there are three new ones out there this week; all in a grey shade; some with lots of windows, one on the roof the other boxed. All good looking and I am betting very expensive. What do cars cost these days? I doubt I'll ever own a car again but I have high hopes of riding in a new one now and then..smile. I hope you day was fun, good, filled with love and laughter. I hope you are feeling good and keeping up with your walking and exercising. I am waiting for the real good weather for walking as I manage a walk to the corner and back ..probably six blocks at most; but I can cross over where there is a park with walking places and a street that runs around a square block that would give me a good walk around the block... I'm off...Gabbed enough for today. I just wanted to touch base and give you a hug. Hope your day was great. Catch up. I do like a note now and then so I know what YOU are up to. Be good...be kind...be gentle....Hug to all.

Easter Sunday

Good morning. A soft sky, little color this morning, trees are still, cars are parked on my side this morning and all is silent.....no one about, nothing moving, rose bush is bright and beautiful, the bird is on the rooftop and silence. Easter Sunday morning, I wish you a Happy Easter and hope you have some tasty eggs, both real and candy, to have for breakfast this morning. It is quiet, silence, if I didn't have the television on there would be silence. It is Easter Sunday morning and I have to admit I miss going to church and the special celebrations of the holidays. There are a life time of memories of Easters long gone, dressing the children up, heading off to church, Easter baskets, all those chocolate bunnies to eat, you know the 'non' fattening kind...ha.ha. if there was such a thing...but sugar prevails and is enjoyed fat or no fat...smile. I am looking out my window, soft skies, no breeze at all, worker cars of red, white and blue, all look new. The shades are down in several of the hospital windows but a couple are up and about. There is silence. No one moving in here...I am sure folks are up but staying 'put' for awhile. The little birds are nesting in the red rose bush which is all abloom and beautiful. They seem to choose a special cluster and hide in it. Once in the bush they seem to get lost from sight and hide until they are ready to take off again. I am dressed but no shoes on until I have to...ha.ha. barefoot is so comfortable!! Plans??? Nope...but am willing to make some. It will be interesting to see how the day shapes up. I hope your day is a happy one filled with family, friends, good things to eat and a lot of laughter. I hope you find peace and harmony in your day. I hope you are healthy, a bit wealthy..then you could adopt me....and enjoying life. I hope you are content. I hope you find love and laughter to fill your hours. I hope you have smiles in your eyes and sweet words on your lips. Have yourself a Happy Easter. Be good, be kind, be content, be one who brings love and laughter along with you. Happy Easter Sunday...enjoy today!

Saturday Morning!!!

Good Morning. The sun is shining making shadows on the hospital building and showing off the tops of the colorful deep red bushes outside the building. The bird is sitting on the roof top watching the worker cars park and there is not a bit of a breeze this morning....quiet, stillness, and one of our men is out walking his long sausage dog. He is moving right along so there maybe a bit of bite to the breeze this early. The big bush with the lovely red flowers is bright and beautiful as the sun is hitting it. The bush next to it has small white buds which do not show up very much. The cars are parked on my side this morning and I can see one black, two grey, a red and a blue car I would find hard to describe. The color is a new blue I haven't seen before and quite attractive. So, a new work day, shades still drawn, only one window with shades up. The sun is making the tall trees look alive, early morning beauty to enjoy. If the parked cars were blossoms they would win first prize...all bright, new, shiny and expensive looking. I bet they do cost a "pretty penny". My coffee cup is empty so I am going to refill it, hunker in my chair for awhile and watch the television but will change the channel as there is something ugly on...a battle this early in the morning upsets the digestive system...ha.ha. It is Saturday all day and I hope you make good use of it. Find some places to go and things to do that will make you smile. Share you with those you love and like. When you have time, stop, drop a note and let me know where you went, what you did, not that I am nosy, just interested in finding out just what you are up to...smile. Make this Saturday a good one doing what you love to do best....and only you know what that is.....as for me..feet up, coffee cup refilled with hot tasty black coffee and there is 'nothing good in this house' ...smile. well there isn't, I ate it all up last evening. I am off to love you and leave you....as the old saying goes....'love you and leave you'....I will be back....now...it is your turn....smile.

Friday Morning

Good Morning!!! I am having some fun trying to find out what is going on with the computer this morning...it couldn't be me....ha.ha.ha The sky is a lovely pale blue, the tree tops are still, the little bird is sitting on the edge of the roof and the worker cars are parked on my side this morning I have three black, two silver and one dark blue and only one has a glass roof top. All look new and bright, not a junker in the group. The wages must be really good over int he hospital wing. Seems I have said that a time or two, must be true...smile. It is cloudy this morning, or I should say the sky is a pale blue with no clouds. The blinds are down so no one is in a hurry to get up this morning. I went off with the girls yesterday, did a bit of gaming but no wins....paid my dues...smile. It was fun, lunch out was delicious and being with my daughters is always special and fun. We did a little shopping, went through a couple of shops and one had a lot of very old 'stuff' which most of us discarded years ago...smile. I wonder why it looks good now...ha.ha. All in all I had a good day and always am thankful for the fun, the sun, the girls and lunch out....deserts are not fattening....ha,ha....well dream on. So I am off to get some things done around here. I have some chores waiting and off I go....have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you want to do. Be good, be kind, be loving. Drop a line as I am nosy and want to know what YOU are up to. Hugs to all.

Now It is Thursday

I am not sure where time goes but I do know it goes fast and furious. Here it is Thursday and I went shoe shopping which I might add, I really did not want to do, but was outvoted because of my out dated foot wear...smile. My girls are fussy about being seen with a person of age with 'old shoes'; I tried to tell them my shoes were fine and nobody really looks at my shoes but they were adamant and thought that I would 'wear' better if I had new shoes on ...so being out voted, I went shoe shopping today and I have to tell you it is not one of my favorite 'sports'; I can think of other things I would rather do, like playing the slots.which I did...smile. The weather was perfect for a ride. The seat in the rear of the car is comfortable and I have a window all to my self so there is nothing to spoil the views. The scenery is lovely and the sky formations are always a treat, beautiful, lots of imaginative pictures to see. We found a nice restaurant to have a late breakfast, or an early lunch, and the food was very tasty. We played awhile and had a little fun but no win sorry to say. All in all a fun day and no regrets. I find my mind is changing with this age and I am not losing it completely but I am finding a big change. It is a scary time of life and as we approach the higher numbers I think it is going to be a big challenge. I would love to poke along as is but the changes come and go without notice and each day becomes a mystery to be solved. The ride down was beautiful, the sky was filled with beautiful cloud formations and our stops were fun. How lucky I am to have loving and caring daughters. They are so easy to love and such fun to be with. I did not win but then I didn't lose much either. I played keno and tried a series of numbers which failed to line up, I need some new combinations to try so will have to put on 'my thinking cap'. smile. All in all it was a good day. I am heading for my bed and my book the lights out and off to dreamland....the end of a good day. No complaints...who who would listen???? ha, ha. No one with any sense. Everyone has their own complaints.....and not to unhappy to share them..ha...ha. So...with that I will wish you sweet dreams. I hope you enjoyed your today ....I hope you are feeling good and content....if not, then start working on it....ha.ha. such help coming from me.....it is okay, don't get 'mad' ..get even. ha...ha. Be good, be caring, be YOU. Sleep tight and dream sweet. YOU are on my mind and in my prayers....sleep sweet....dream when your feeling blue, dream that's the thing to do....la, la, la...can't remember the rest of the words to that song....goes back away....about thirty years I think...ha.ha. but you know I wish you sweet dreams, good health, a little wealth, and lots of sunshine in your life. Sleep tight. Goodnight.

Sunday, Sunday, ....

Good Morning!!! The workers are walking up the driveway slowly, time to get to work...but oh that warm bed was so comfy...work...work...oh well someone has to do it...smile!!! Sunday morning and a few of the cars are parked on my side of the driveway. I have a black, a silver, a red and a dark blue car in front of my window. The bird is on the rooftop waiting patiently for something, just wonder what, as it doesn't change its stance at all. The trees are still, the sky is a soft blue and only one window shade is up over in the hospital wing. All is quiet. Silence, early morning silence, is very still.My coffee cup is empty so you know I am going to leave you for a bit and get a refill. I have to open the other eye....be right back!!! AAH!!!! Coffee, coffee.......so tasty, so hot, so good tasting..hot, black, and it does help to open the other eye...smile. The trees are still, no breeze at all this morning. The shades are down in most of the hospital windows, only one with shades up and lights on. There is a stillness in the air as nothing is moving, even the little bird is still. Not me...I have my coffee at hand and I am busy lifting the cup...aah....so good. Now if I can find some words to share we will be off to a new start this Sunday morning. If, I am not mistaken, there is something going on at the Gallery today. I know I said I go, but for the life of me, I cannot think of what is on going...the Tea is tomorrow, so...it must just be a Sunday art show and there are new paintings to be admired. I hate to admit that age is catching up with me. I am slowly going 'over the hill' just hate to admit it...smile. I guess the secret to success is to just take one minute as it comes and not worry about time. Time is fleeting...we all know that....mine is just fleeting a bit faster than I like...smile. So, without further ado, I am going to refill my coffee cup, sit in my easy chair for a little while, news on, feet up and get dressed for a new day a little later. It is so nice to just relax and do a lot of nothing for awhile, until one has to motivate..and that comes all to soon. smile!! I wish you a blessed Sunday. I hope you have friends drop bye. I hope you have an unexpected treat. I just hope your day is as nice as you. Be good, kind, generous to a fault and share a hug or two. I am off to open the other eye, eventually get dressed and out the door to celebrate a new Sunday. I wish you lots of love, some good luck, and a hug or two. Be good, be kind, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

Good Morning...It is Saturday, a rainy one, worker cars parked in front of my window this morning and I am to feel patriotic as I have one white, two red, one blue that I can see without stretching...smile. The little bird is on the roof top and it has been raining, a sort of drizzle this morning, not a real rain but it looks like it wants to. It is silent....nothing moving...no noise inside or out. The trees are still and one bird is sitting on the roof top across the way watching the world go bye. Saturday, wonder what is in store for me today. I am unhappy with my haircut as the hair want to stand up straight...poor cut. I will have to find a new place to go. I hate to spend big dollars for a hair cut, wonder if I could find a barber that is reasonable and can cut 'female' hair...he or she probably wouldn't care one way or the other. There are some lovely red roses on the bush across the way. The tall trees behind the buildings are still, no wind at all, the sky is a very soft white blue, a rainy Saturday ...um..... wonder what is in store for me today....no plans....maybe I can invite the girls out for dinner later, wonder who has a good tender steak...wouldn't that be tasty??? but Saturday beans and hot dogs are always tasty..smile. I am in a sad mood today and no real reason why.....could be the weather, could be my mind is wandering to places I'd like to be with folks I'd like to share time with...we all have those days...but I'll get busy and have a mail visit and that will help satisfy the need for a hug from "YOU"...smile. Go, have yourself fun day doing some of the things you put off all week because of stress or time. Give yourself a 'gift' a gift of time doing some one thing you really want to do. I am off to get ready to go up for lunch and puzzle awhile. There is a tiny bird on my fence outside my window and one on the rooftop across the way sitting like it owns the building. Have yourself a day to remember. Have some fun. Take time to hug...to love....to be kind...to be YOU. Hugs to all.

Friday Morning....Good Morning!!

Hello. It is cloudy out there in the roadway and the worker cars are parked under my window today....not a junker in the bunch, but I have said that once or twice before. It wants to rain and I don't have any problem with that. I like rain, in fact I like to walk in the rain....don't you? I bet you do. I have one eye open. I have had a special breakfast roll as Christine came in early and shared one with me...one all just for me...ha.ha. I made short work of it and now am full....that is what those big round pastries do. I find my thought process is changing more every day and it is not to my liking but little I can do to change it. I use the brain as often as I can doing all the things I love to do from writing to reading and sharing time with the ladies puzzling. Getting older is a challenge and hard work so be patient with me. Christine was in with a fresh coffee roll which was delicious. How lucky I am to be blessed with children who are caring and keep an eye on me...I can't get away with anything...ha.ha... We have a cloudy day, wants to rain and it might. That cute white roadster is parked in front of my window this morning...cute...looks like speed is part of its history....the other cars are dark, black or navy blue and there is a grey one out there with a big glass roof top. It is quiet. The bird is on the roof to watching the cars come and go. The window shades are still down in the hospital wing, all but one...someone is an early riser. That is this mornings greeting and news ...so far...smile....I'll be back if there is some news to tell you. I plan to go up for some lunch and puzzling. I plan to do some laundry later...and I have a new magazine to read later and plan some time out to enjoy it. All in all a new day, a good day, and I hope that you have a day you will remember with love and laughter for some time to come. Be good, be generous to a fault, be YOU. Have yourself some'fun' today....smile. Hugs to all.

Wednesday Morning

Good Morning. Pitch black out my window, one early riser over in the hospital wing, shades drawn, outside night light still on and nothing is moving at the moment. The worker cars will be coming in soon. It is night out there as you cannot see the sky and the big trees are mere shadows. It is silent right now, a quiet that permeates the air. My coffee is hot and delicious, the toast is gone. One eye open and no new news to share. I didn't go anywhere or do anything so there really is nothing new and different to talk about. Today is hump day, have no special plans yet but am willing to make some...smile. I am smiling as I think you may be sighing a bit in relief as you do not have to wade through a lot of words so early in the morning. My brain is still asleep, not willing to wake up, even a thought of going back to bed for awhile hovers around but old habits die hard and once up, up it is....coffee to sooth the way and my easy chair awaits as the television is on and there should be a news program soon. I will say they never run out of ads...smile. So, I am letting you off easy this morning. It is hump day, a day to be busy, a day to enjoy and share. So get busy, get dressed, get out the door and find something you have been wanting to do and invite someone you like and love to go along with you..breakfast out would be fun. You get to order just what you want and that makes me wonder what your favorite breakfast is....awful waffles, pancakes, bacon and eggs, oatmeal....cereal??? I think not...ha.ha. not if you can have a ham omelet. So....go.....put your shoes on Lucy, don't you know your in the city, la...la....la.... I'm off....well don't be so quick to agree....smile.......I wish you a good day, all day, doing what YOU want to do. Make it a good one. Hugs to all.

A New Tuesday all day...

Soft skies, almost white, hardly any blue in the sky, more of reflections and not a bit of wind, nothing is moving, well....that is not true there are trucks and cars moving in and out of the big driveway outside my window. The worker cars are parked on my side and only one car has something hanging from the mirror within the car. There is a huge McKesson truck parked outside the hospital building and all is quiet. A couple of workers have walked in and a new work day begins for them. Otherwise there is silence, no movement at all, even the bird on the roof top is silent. It is what I call a 'soft' day, and I might go for a walk after lunch just for fresh air and exercise. I might stay and game a bit, the puzzle needs all the help it can get, but I have not made up my mind yet. I hope you are feeling good and finding things to do. I hope you visit a friend and pass a hug or two around. If you come this way, I'll give you one..smile. I am hungry but it is not nearly time for food....I know where the good stuff is and that is the problem...ha.ha. well, I do hide it...but...I do know where I hid it..ha.ha. I'd share if you were here. So. there is no more news today, a quiet day, a day to catch up with oneself. One of the yard workers is walking along with a big bin basket on his shoulder, stopping, picking up some 'stuff' and walking along looking for more to fill the basket up. So......off I go, shoes on, watch a little more television and then go up for lunch time and hopefully a bit of puzzle play with the ladies. I hope you find things to do, people to do things with and a lot of love and laughter to share. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Monday, April 8, 2019

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

Good Morning. Te sky is a beautiful blue, mist in the trees, quiet, no movement out my window this morning and no bird on the rooftop this morning...that is new...wonder where it went. It is dark out my window. It is quiet as the night worker cars are still parked and a few morning folks are driving in. No new news this morning. I am off for my refill of my hot black coffee and wish I had something 'good' to go with it but I didn't save anything and plain old toast just does not have the same appeal...smile. jelly doughnuts...coffee buns.....you know...the good stuff. I am going to hunker down in my easy chair, watch tv for awhile and then get ready for a new day, a new week, and hopefully something new and different in our week. Right now it is just to early...I only have one eye open.....and really not in a hurry to open the other one...smile. I hope your new day is going to be special...like you. I hope you find this Monday to be special, like you. Have yourself a fun day; go shopping; go visiting; go out and about doing what you want to do...and make your new Monday special. I am off for a refill, feet up, tv on for awhile and then I will see what this Monday has to offer....hot coffee...ha.ha. and you thought I was going to impart words of wisdom....maybe another time...ha.ha. Be good, have fun, do good deeds and smile. Hugs to all.

It Is Still Saturday ...but, evening now!!

It seem to want to rain today, but it did not...it seem to want to be a quiet day and it was. I had a lovely gift of a spaghetti dinner this evening. A couple made a spaghetti feast and shared and lucky me was in line..delicious, filling and a treat. Now to think of a thank you treat. It was delicious, filling and a lovely surprise. Folks can be amazing, good friends, caring and sharing, how wonderful to have such folks in my life. Today was a quiet day. It wanted to storm but it did not. It seem to threaten to rain most of the day but that is all it did. I had hoped for some bright sunshine and warmth and a walk to the corner and back but that did not come about. I had a quiet in day, television on, and had the cross word puzzle going but have to admit I did not do very well. My girls were busy today so I did not get to spend time with them. Pat and Erin had a busy day, work at the Gallery I think. There is a lot of things that need doing when they start to prepare for the upcoming shows. I am about to make a cup of hot tea. I have the television on and it is very quiet around here this evening. I do have a desert out there waiting to be attacked. I have yet to meet anyone who can pass up chocolate...smile. So...Saturday is ending slowly. It is quiet around here. So of I go, wishing you a good night, sleep tight and dream sweet dreams. I'll be back tomorrow and tell you all about my day. I may get to go somewhere...or not...smile. I may read awhile or maybe there will be a good movie on ....tomorrow will tell a tale of its own..smile. I hope you sleep well, dream sweet dreams and plan a visit to church. Be sure and say a prayer for me. Enjoy the rest of your day. Sleep sweet. Be good, be kind, be gentle...just continue to be YOU....hugs to all.

Saturday already...wow!!!

Good Morning. It is pitch black out my window, worker car moving in slowly and parking for the work day. It is very early so the sky is black and there is nothing moving, well, a worker car coming in but most are already in for the first shift of the day. My coffee cup is almost empty that first cup seems to disappear as you set it down. This is the time of morning when you hear silence. This is quiet time. This is a wake up time and some of us take a bit longer than others. I do have one eye open. My mind????? Well that takes a bit more time. It is Saturday, all day, and it should be interesting to find out what is going to unfold. Plans??? None..smile. I will take today as it comes and find out what I want to do as it unfolds. The sky is deep blue velvet, trees mere shadows, the television is on in one of the hospital rooms as the shade is up and a light is on. Out in the parking area the side light is on and reflects on the car roofs. Silence...quiet....can't tell the sky from the tree tops and at this moment nothing is moving.....the sound of silence...so profound. My coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill I don't have a lot to write about this morning as I had a more or less quiet day yesterday. I did get out and about. I did have a fun time with daughter Patricia, and I really have nothing to complain about....ha.ha....and you thought I did.... I am going to give you a break and let you go on about your business this morning. I have time to put my feet up, turn on the television and check out the Saturday morning cowboys...Yippee ..... I need a refill of my coffee, has to be hot and at the right sipping stage to be enjoyed. I have nothing to go with it...maybe there is a piece of bread left to toast but it wont be the same as a big fat jelly doughnut. Think of the calories I'm saving...ha.ha....well that must count for something. Make your day extra special .like you....have a day you will remember for some time to come.....a memory builder....a 'smile' day....and throw in a hug or two. I'm off for a refill, feet up, tv on....cowboys...yipee....see you later...much later...ha.ha. It is Saturday morning, la, la, la, la..... Be good, be kind, be wonderful...you are you know.

Number Two for today....afternoon....a rainy day!!

Hello. The rain is raining, nice to see and the bird is on the roof top unmindful of it, doesn't seem to bother it a bit. The worker cars are parked on my side and there is a very bright orange sedan, a four door, rail tops and the red in the back lights clash; black would have been classy!!! I was out and about with daughter Patricia for awhile this morning, a bit of the junker store and a few treasures to find. Lunch out in a local restaurant and the food was good, crowded today and busy so we had a wait before we got to have our very early breakfast late...smile. We went for a ride in the rain. I am humming "I love a rainy day." and I do. I like to watch the rain drops fall and even like to walk in the rain but not today as it is late in the afternoon and I used up all my energy. Shoes off.....feet up.....going to turn the TV on and see what is on there. I missed lunch here and the ladies and the puzzle today but I am not unhappy hunkered down in my easy chair watching a good show or two. I have a lot of reading material to go through an one of these days I might just get through some of it...smile. well, my intentions are always good. BUT.... I wanted to stop in and say hello ...wish you a good rest of your day....and hope to hear that you are having the start of a really good weekend...Friday seems endless sometimes, but it is the start of your weekend and it is important not to miss a second of it. As I told you, the rain s coming down and it is nice to watch the rain drops bounce off the pavement. I had my walk in the rain...from the restaurant where we had a late breakfast or early lunch today and not a very long one a the car was parked right by the door. I just wanted to touch base; going to hunker down in my chair, turn on the TV, and relax. Well, I might make a cup of hot tea....wonder if I have anything left to go with it. I certainly am not hungry but it seem a must to have some little munching with it. I wonder if I an classify saltine crackers as a treat......well, if I have to. Off I go. Have a good rest of the day and enjoy yourself. Be good...be kind...be gentle....be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

And Now It Is Friday Morning!!!

Good morning. Pitch black out my window, cars parked outside on my side of the tarmac and the little bird is sitting on the roof top in the dark. Well, the night light is still on and a few cars are leaving and the worker is going home to bed and a few folks are just walking up the tarmac and getting ready for a new work day. Me..I have one eye open, coffee hot...aah...had a piece of raisin toast and it was okay but.....smile!! There are two new cars on the lot this morning; one a box affair that is white and the other is a standard car with a glass roof top; one red or rust colored car and a couple of black or dark grey, too early to see. The sky is soft, tree tops still, and the bird is snoozing on the roof top as it waits for the sun to come up. There is a new boxed white car on the lot this morning and there is one that is more orange than red. and....not a junker in the bunch!!! I am smiling as you could write my opening paragraph every day....same old...same old. ha...ha.. It is Friday. I have no plans. I have laundry to do. I have dusting to do. I have a book to read and the desire to run away never goes away...smile. So, I wish you a good day ...all day....hopefully some fun time and lunch out in your favorite restaurant. Be sure you invite a friend along. As for me, I have laundry to do; move a bit of dust around and maybe go for a walk around the block for exercise a bit later. or, one never knows if an invitation or two is in the offering and I am never one to say no..smile. Go..make your day memorable. Do a good deed or two. Stay healthy and wise. Be YOU....Hugs to all.

It is Thursday all day!!!

Good morning. It is quiet, windless, nothing moving as the worker cars are all parked and they are in for the day. The blinds are down in all but one room so they are sleeping in this morning. I would be to but my body clock goes off early and says get up whether I want to or not. I have no idea why I think I have to get my feet on the floor before the sun comes up. I chalk it up to 'bad' habits or the residue of nuns who meant well...smile. It is Thursday, right now a beautiful morning. The sky is light blue and the sun is shining on the tall trees. The bird is on the roof and the worker cars look clean and bright and shining on my side of the tarmac this morning. I see a new grey wagon out there this morning...a real beauty....it has a shield on the window to protect the upholstery from the sunshine. There is one car with a soft tan shade different and really nice looking. There are more grey shades and a couple of very dark blue or black...hard to tell from here. I can tell you it is quiet My coffee cup is empty...um...think I had better get a refill, hunker down and listen to some news for awhile and later..much later....smile...I'll get dressed and start a new day but no plans as yet..smile. I hope your day is a good one and you find things to do and places to go and friends to share tie with. I hope you share you with those you love and like. Be good...be kind...be YOU!! Coffee.....coffee....my cup is empty......I'll be back when I have some news or views ..smile!! Meanwhile enjoy your breakfast, share you with those you love and like and have yourself a day to remember. Hugs to all. '

Hump Day!!

Good Morning. A new Wednesday morning and it is hazy outside, a bit of fog in the trees, grey in the sky and all the worker cars are parked on 'my' side facing my window and one is a brilliant orange...tangerine might be a better color to say, stands out loud and clear with the white and black ones. There is a haze in the air, trees are still and the bird is on the roof to looking out over its world. A new Wednesday morning, that song with the words "a hush comes over the world" comes to mind. A new day and a day to check the figures of the budget and get ready for new days, weeks, and a bit of living for a month...one follows another so the routine is easy, Now all I need is a big raise but that sure does not happen ...pinching pennies is getting to be a habit...an old one...ha.ha. I want a raise...I want some money in the bank....I want to travel....I want...I want.....ha...ha. I bet I am in good company. Well, there is nothing new and different to report this morning, It is quiet around here, the bird is on the roof top and not a leaf stirring. I am waiting for Chris to come and we are doing my budget for the month. There is so many ways to pinch a penny and I think I have thought of them all. I'd like a raise but that is not about to come about; if wishes were horses beggars would ride.....ha.ha. I'd probably get an old plow horse.... The morning quiet, the stillness of the trees, the pale sky and a blooming bush across the way tells me Spring is springing....right now I'd say we might get a little rain and that is okay. I like rain. I even like to walk in the rain. So, I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do....if you left a chore or two for another day, well it wont hurt to leave alone for one more day...go out the door...find places to go and things to do and make your day bright and beautiful...just like you. A small truck like vehicle just went through and it is dirty...wonder if they know what a car wash is.....sad to see....some one is lazy. The macadam is wet looking although it is not raining at the moment. The little birds are over in the big flowered bush this morning. One is sitting on the roof top watching the cars come in and park. I wonder if it sits up there wondering which car to give a little gift to...smile. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Catch up when you have time. I want to know what YOU are doing...nosy....no.....just curious ....wishful thinking as I'd like to be sharing time with YOU. Hugs to all.

Now It Is Tuesday Morning!!!

Good Morning. A new Tuesday, hopefully a good day all day doing what we like to do and not have to do....famous last words...smile. It is early, cannot tell the earth from the sky as it is pitch black out my window but the night light is still on over on the side of the hospital building. Nothing moving at the minute but soon worker cars will be coming in. It has to be a little after five a.m....why am I up???? Who knows, the body clock goes off and up I get and the mind is a bit behind but coming awake slowly. The coffee cup needs to be refilled and I am sure there is something to go with it. I'll be back.... yes, I had a coffee bun waiting to devour and I am already sorry I ate it....why I do that is beyond me as I know it is to early for food...just coffee is enough to wake the body up..oh well, live and learn....next time I'll just settle for a sip or two of coffee and give the body a chance to wake up. Ha, ha...until I put my feet on the floor and head for the kitchen and check out the goodies I was not going to ever buy again...well the thought was there but the body is weak when it comes to sugar....sweet rolls have a call all their own. It is a new Tuesday, no plans yet, but I am sure I'll make some before the morning is over. So I wish you a good day all day doing what you want to do and I hope you will share you with those you love and like. Good deeds are good for the body and the soul, so get busy and be a mover and a shaker today. I am off to sip my coffee, finish my news and that will not take much time as I didn't do anything special or go anywhere to brag about....but...one never knows what the day will bring so...I am off to refill my coffee cup, it is so much better when hot. I will say goodbye and wish you a good day all day. Be good, be kind, be loving and your day will be a really good one. Send me a verbal hug...yeah one or two will do...more if you are in the mood to be 'good'....and you are always so 'good'.....I will love you and leave you for now....coffee cup in hand, feet up on the hassock tv news on and tie to enjoy the early morning wake up call. Be good...be hind...be YOU!! Hugs to all.

Now it is Monday again...smile!!!

Good Morning. It is quiet, worker cars parked on my side this morning. It is silent outside, no breeze, nothing moving and I am going off to make the coffee...then I can blog as I will be awake...almost. Be back!! AAH!! Hot, delicious, raisin toast..yum....I'm set....Taste buds alert....smile!!! It is silent around here, blinds down on the windows of the hospital wing. I see three grey worker cars this morning and one orange one. There is a grey cloud in the sky behind the tree line. The bird is on the roof top. A new day begins. I hope you put a lot into your day; a lot of energy and love which you can share with those you love and like. I wish you a good day, all day...don't forget a good deed or two. Help a friend, lose an enemy and make today a banner day. Go!!!! Be YOU!!!! Hugs to all.
