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.

Now It's Thursday Morning!!!

Good Morning. It is pitch black out my window, night light still on across the way and a few cars are parked under my window this morning...a new day..and hopefully a good one. I wish I had a lot of chatter to share but I do not. It has been quiet. and, come to think of it....quiet is not at all bad. I wish I had stories to tell and news you would be interested in but that is not the case....I have no new news. I just did not go anywhere or do anything different to brag about. Maybe today will tell a different story and I will find places to go and things to do. At this time of the morning I have one eye open, brain is not in full gear as yet and I am on my way to the kitchen for a hot coffee refill and then to my chair and watch the news. A new day, there has to be something in store for me, I just have to wait until I wake up and find out just what it is. I hope your day is g r e a t, and you get to do what you want to do. That is the secret of a good day. Be good, be kind, be someone you love to see coming in your door....don't forget if you are on your way for an early morning visit, stop at the bakery and find some big fat jelly doughnuts and share. Be happy, kind, and a person folks love to see coming in their door. It is Thursday all day, a good day to fill with the making of memories. Kindness and love ..um...l what more could you ask for!!! Enjoy today. Hugs to all.

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

Good Morning to you, Good morning to you....la, la, la.....ha..ha...bet that went over like a lead balloon. It is Monday, and it is early, and I have one eye open. The shade is up and the sky is deep lavender this morning, no morning light yet and all is still. The night light is on the side of the hospital wing and the worker cars are parked under my window, a new day, a new Monday. I have one eye open. Coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill and I will be right back...unless I find something good to eat and then you will be put on hold for a bit..... well there is nothing good in this house...cupboards are bare, not a sweet to be had, and toast is okay but it isn't a morning honey bun. The color in the sky is soft this morning, a light blue, more grey than blue and all is still. No bird on the roof top across the way, must be early for it. The roof top itself looks like there is frost on it. All still. All quiet. Cars parked under my window this morning and a few workers still coming in slowly. A new work day and they are not in a hurry to get started. As for me, I am off to my easy chair, feet up on the hassock, coffee in hand, tv news on and I am ready to start a new day....well 'ready' may be in awhile...smile. There is quite a bit of frost on the roof top across the way, cold out there. Even the car roof tops are covered....Fall is here with winter coming up close behind it. AND holidays along with it.....well, it has to happen...smile. I need a refill, off I go, feet up, tv on, a new day...go...wake up when you want to.....feel good....enjoy a good breakfast and drop' an egg it is good for you. Make your day special, just like you....catch up and let me know what you are up to today....something fun and good for you, I hope. Off I go to start a new day. Hugs to all.

Sunday, October 27, 2019

Now It's Sunday Morning!!

The sky is beautiful this morning as the color is soft blue, a bit of white and grey as the trees are still and the night light is still on over at the hospital wing. The worker cars are parked on my side this morning, a new white one is out there, good looking. The others are parked in a darker area so it is hard to tell what color they are. An early morning sky is really soft and easy to look at. The trees are still and the little bird is on the roof top across the way. A new day to wake up to and spend as you want to. I hope you have plans to enjoy your day. My coffee cup is empty. My eyes are almost awake. My mind is still asleep and that always takes a bit more time. I am not sure this 'old age' is going to be fun but there is nothing we can do but our best and make our time count. So.....I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do. I hope you find friends and family to send time with and enjoy. Be good, be kind, be gentle. Celebrate YOU today. I am off for a refill, feet up, news on and a new day begins. Go...enjoy it. I am going to try..smile. Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

Good Morning. Pitch black out my window, cars parked on my side this morning and all is quiet. I have not had my coffee so you know I have to go and fill a cup so I can wake up. Make your today a good one doing what you want to do. Add a bit of fun in the mix and enjoy today. I am off for some hot coffee and wake up....I will be back.The little bird is on the roof top; a new grey sport car parked under my window and all silence reigns. My coffee cup is empty and that will never do. I am singing "wake up, you sleepy head, get up, get out of bed," la, la, la.....so count your blessings and be happy you cannot hear me...smile. Go...have yourself a day to remember. Hugs to all.

Friday Evening

Hello!!! Well day is ending. It is pitch black outside my window and it is dark...it is night time...the day is over and done with and it was not bad at all. I didn't go anywhere or do anything special but relaxed with my book, enjoyed the girls as they visited and realized I was so wrapped up in having a 'down' day that I forgot about a meeting that was upstairs today. I will have to ask the ladies tomorrow about its content...wonder if I missed much. I will find out. smile. It was and is quiet. There is cold moving in and I thought for some time today we were going to storm but it did not. The season is changing and it is easy to see it happening. Chris came and fixed my computer so it is up and running again. She is a whiz and I am so thankful for her. It has been a good day. I enjoyed taking time out to read my novel which I am thoroughly enjoying. So.....I have nothing to complain about; I have nothing to grouse about; I have had a quiet day and we all need one of those. I hope you had a good day doing what you love to do best. I hope you caught up with yourself and found time to just relax and enjoy your time. Sleep sweet....be good, be kind, be YOU...Catch up when you have some time. Hugs to all.

Thursday evening

The door is open because it is so summer like today...strange weather for this time of year but it is lovely so I should not complain. I have been trying to salvage my brain power and do a little special mailings tonight but the brain has ideas of its own. I really do not think I am going to like this new age we oldsters finally reach; new age is a good sounding name for it but if the truth was known it certainly would have a much stronger name...I have a few in mind but you really don't want to hear them. The weather is lovely, the door is open and it is night time...hard to believe that we have such summer weather today...wonder what is going on...probably hit the low marks before the week is over and I will gripe and groan...well,you do want to know...I hope you do..ha.ha. At this age changes occur in the brain cells and the changes are not only shocking but create a temper tantrum for loss of directions...it is not going to be an easy road but then we have heard our 'oldsters' tell us that for years ...did we believe it??? I don't think so..but...we are about to find out. So we are going to need patience. WE are going to need a sense of humor. So are going to behave whether we like it or not. I had an old family snap shot sent to identify the folks int he picture and it brought back a myriad of memories. It was taken in Newport, Rhode island at my sister-in-law Peg's house and I could identify all but one lady in the picture. I remember she was a friend of my sister-in- laws but I could not remember her name. The picture brought back memories of a time long gone...amazing how fast the years have gone. So, before I lose my way, I am going to wish you sweet dreams and know I will be back. Be good, be kind, be all you can be....share a little love and friendship. Hugs to all.

hello

not with it tonight so do not know if I am getting words down okay. Save the Sullivan pics...in case Ididn't get it right. Brain not working as it should today but I am trying. I'll check it in the morning and let you know if I was successful or not. I am in my own way tonight...smile. this 'old' stuff is scary....love you...I'll be back tomorrow.

Wednesday, October 23, 2019

Now It's Wednesday morning!!!

Good early morning, about six fifty and I have been sitting here at the computer hoping the eyes are going to open and the brain awaken ....pitch black out my window, worker cars coming in slowly and the night light does not cast a lot of bright light...can't tell the earth from the sky yet...A new Wednesday morning. Are you ready for the morning greeting??? "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." A good start for our day. Let us make this Wednesday a banner day. I am off for a refill, feet up, news on and start a new day. I hope you will join me. It is so early, the eyes do not want to stay open yet do not want to go back to sleep either....a new day....I'll get it together soon....at least I am working on it. Go..ave yourself your favorite breakfast drink, turn on the news and find out what happened during our sleeping session....make up your mind to have a good day all day doing what you want to do. Be good....be kind....be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Tuesday, October 22, 2019

Now it is Tuesday NIght

Bells ringing but no one there.....Guess it took to long to cross the room to answer the phone..smile. All is quiet. News on. Had delicious pizza for dinner tonight when Pat and I got two big ones to share and enjoy. I had two nice size pieces and sent the rest along with her. That is a delicacy you cannot say no to ....I am off to sit awhile and listen to news. I hope your day was a good one and you have a restful snooze tonight. Catch up when you have time and let me know what is on going in your life...good things I hope. Sleep sweet and catch up. Hugs to all.

Now It is Tuesday morning!!

Good morning. A new Tuesday to fill up and I bet you have plans and thoughts and deeds to fill it all up. I have not opened my eyes all the way but am working on it. At the moment I don't have plans but I am sure I will makes some once I wake up. It is pitch black out my window, trees are in shadows and the night light is still on the side of the hospital wing. There is moving traffic so some folks are up and about. I have one eye open, an empty coffee cup and nothing new and different to talk about. It was quiet yesterday and that is a good thing as we all need quiet days in our lives. So it will be interesting to find out what is in store for me today. Right now I am interested in another up of hot coffee, feet up, news on, and eventually start the new day. The sky is beautiful in that it is a soft lavender shade, trees are still, night light still on the side of the hospital wing. The worker cars are under my window and all is silent. I will leave you in peace, a chance to open your eyes to a new day and hopefully a good one. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Catch up when you have some time....off I go, refill, feet up, tv on, no rush...a new day to start....hope you have a good one. Hugs to all.

A New Monday Morning!!!

The golden trees, how beautiful they are, a sky that shows signs of wanting to rain, the little bird on the roof top across the way and all of the worker cars are parked in front of my window this morning. There is a new car out there this morning, a strange and new color that looks light tan, new and different and quite lovely. I wish I could describe the colors of the trees as they light up the entire area, so beautiful, so alive with color of Fall, the onset of winter and it is a salute in color. The worker cars are parked under my window, two white, one tan, two black. A new day...um...wonder what is in store for us. Right now there is silence. The little bird on the roof top is sitting quietly watching the workers come in. There are a few new cars and the new colors are something to see. A blue one just went by that was bright and beautiful. As I have said before, there is not a junker in the crowd. So, it is silent, a few small birds out there, one on the roof top another in the tall tree. The sky is grey so it may rain. I think the tarmac looks wet from an earlier rain in the wee hours. I have had my early morning wake up time so off I go to get dressed and face a new day. It will be interesting, and hopefully fun, to find out what is in store for me today. I am almost awake...smile. I hope your day is special, full of good deeds and fun times with family and friends. I hope you stop and light a candle for those who have gone before us and say an extra prayer or two for those who are in need. Make your day a good day, all day, doing what your heart tells you is the right thing to do. Be good, be loving, be kind....be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Sunday, October 20, 2019

And Monday morning is still with me.

I have been sitting here at the computer which is in front of my large picture window overlooking the parking lot filled with worker cars and the hospital wing with shades both up and down. The trees over and above the hospital wing are so beautiful this morning. They are in a misty sky which is light almost white and the yellow leaves are ore golden and deep with a beauty all their own. One little bird is in the tree across the way, a small tree in front of the hospital wing window. The birds love it and there is one bird who sits on the roof top, same spot every day and enjoys the views. The worker cars are all parked in front of my building. From my window I can see four of the parked cars and they are all different models, different colors and all look new. There must be good wages. The rain drops are falling. All is still and beautiful. A good way to spend some time enjoying the blessings of Mother Nature. How lucky we are. I am waiting to go up for lunch. I am hungry as I didn't have anything yet and I am ready for a feast. I wonder what will be served today. The food here is not at all bad. We have some very good food served on a daily basis and the crew should be complimented for a job well done. It isn't easy to come up with all the meals served. Right now I am looking at rain drops falling. There are two birds on my fence, one on the roof top across the street and one in the little tree on a low branch. They should all be looking for a dry spot soon. As for me, I am ready for lunch and I still have a little more time before I go up. It is tempting to go to the kitchen right here and fix something but it is more fun to visit with the ladies and poke around the big puzzle which we have going. All in all, a new day, a rainy day, a day to enjoy peace and quiet and do a lot of nothing special unless you really have a yen to do something that requires movement of the feet and body...smile. Once again, I want to comment on the beauty of the Fall colors. So beautiful. Enjoy the sights and signs of the coming winter, it will all change soon enough...smile. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do. Hugs to all.

Still Monday morning!!!

There is a small tree in front of a hospital window that has a tiny bird on a limb this morning. It is still, silent, quiet this early in the morning and the Fall colors are spectacular. The sky is soft, hardly any color, a patch of blue in several areas but mostly a huge cloud cover which could mean some rain moving in. The trees are so beautiful this time of year. The leaves have turned golden with a bit of russet shading and some very deep dark green. Fall is beautiful. The little bird, on the roof top, is not moving a muscle; sort of a silent guard as it watches the workers park and walk into the building for a new work day. There are two grey, one red, one black car that fill my window space, if I crane my neck I can see a car that has a vanilla shade to it, almost white but a yellow cast to it. There is a bird on a branch of the tree, wonder if it communicates with the bird on the roof top..smile. All in all Fall colors are spectacular and beautiful. I am off for a refill of my coffee....to the kitchen and see if there is anything out there to nibble on...I doubt it as nothing is sacred in this kitchen....a girlish figure is hard to keep up....ha.ha....now you tell one. I am leaving you in peace and contentment today...have a good one doing what you want to do. Catch up when you have time. I am going off to shower, dress, shoes on and see if I can talk someone into breakfast out...well there is nothing good in my kitchen as food disappears by magic..ha,,ha..... Have a day to remember!! Hugs to all.

More Words!!

It is quiet, still, the little bird on the roof top, stillness, so nice to hear the sound of silence. A new day. Wonder what is in store for us today. a bit of rain I think as the macadam is wet. Silence. Worker cars are parked under my window and two light grey, one black and a red car fill the spaces under my window. They all look new, not a junker in the bunch. How often I have said that...smile. I have no plans for the day...yet...but there is time to think about something to do or a place to go but what, where and once awake I can decide...right now the brain is still asleep. I didn't realize how long it takes the brain to wake up...or aybe I am just getting slower with age....admit that??? never!!! ha..ha. The trees are gorgeous ...bright, beautiful, and still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning. It must have rained in the wee hours as the macadam is still wet. If I repeat myself, ignore me, as I am not awake yet but working on it...a cup of hot coffee might help...so not having any new news, words to share, gripes or problems to share, I will take myself to the kitchen and fill a cup up, find my way to my easy chair, feet up, tv on, and sit awhile. Be good, be kind, but most of all be happy....make today a special day filled with love and smiles. Go...make today a 'banner' day. Coffee....coffee....aah.....I will be back just not sure when...smile. Make your day a really good one. Hugs to all.

A New Day

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window. Cars are parked under my window this morning, night light still on, trees are still and all is quiet. I am up, not all the way awake but working on it. I had a few sips of coffee but that is not enough so off to fill my cup and listen to some news for awhile. I hope you are having a good snooze and sleep in this morning just because you can...smile. I will be back after I wake up a bit more. The sky is beautiful with deep lavender over the trees along with soft blue and all is still. Coffee, coffee.....smile.....off to fill my cup and listen to the news of our new day. I wish you a good day ...all day...doing what you want to do...."wake up you sleepy head, get up, get out of bed" la, la, la, aren't you glad you don't have the'voice' on.....smile!!! Coffee, coffee....off to the kitchen.....I'll be back....okay, roll over, see if I care....ha.ha. bye for now.

Leaves.....la, la,la........

Fall....so beautiful.....trees are all lit up in bright orange,yellow and green colors showing off in honor of our Fall season...how beautiful, how lucky we are to be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Fall.....The little bird is on the roof top across the way, a favorite spot I might add....don't know if it is a he or a she, but I do know that it does not share its space on the roof. The sky is a stormy shade of grey, light, wants to do something bu I guess it isn't ready. WE did have some rain this morning and the tarmac is still wet. The worker cars are under my window and I have two new grey ones out there this morning. Each one is different...same shade of grey but the roof top of one has racks built in and some kind of antenna while the other one is just plain. Both look new. Both are lovely and I bet give a good ride. It wants to rain or seems to. It did earlier as the tarmac still is wet. I think I already said that..but at this age you can expect repetition. A big black truck is slowly leaving the yard. Daughter Pat was in this morning with goodies...how else could I keep this girlish figure???? ha...ha...now you tell one. I am going to love you and leave you for now. Go...have something for a late breakfast or an early lunch and enjoy. I am hungry...of course ..I am. ha, ha. I hope the rest of your today is a good one and you get to do some of the things you really want to do. I am off to the lunch room. Later I think the laundry room will get some attention. I wonder what it would cost for a small washing machine for an apartment...don't know if it is allowed. So, I am off to the lunch room. I am leaving the window and the beautiful, gorgeous, Fall colors....so beautiful....hard to even describe....I hope you have trees of color in your area....I often think of New England and the Fall colors.... I would hate to have to be a judge and decide which had the most beauty...I don't think there would be a winner...they are all winners. Go..have yourself a good rest of your day. It wants to rain so I think a book time is in order and I have a good one going...smile. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

Hello. Looks like a rainy day without the down pour yet...trees are beautiful this morning, Worker cars parked under my window...silver is the color today and a couple of white ones....wants to pour but has not made up its mind yet. I bet it is cold. Winter is coming much too soon....I am not ready...ha.ha. I had a ball with the girls yesterday, did a bit of gaming and came out with my own money so that is a win...smile. I had one of those fun machines that let me play without grabbing all my cash at one time...it just took a long while and that isn't all bad as you feel like you at least got a chance to play. I am getting ready to go up for lunch and maybe puzzle awhile today. It is a rainy day, well the rain is not falling but it did and all is wet and cold looking. I have to check my closet and see if I have a winter jacket to wear. I think I have to buy one this year. So, there is not a lot of new news. I had a fun visit with Marcia from Brookings. A sweet and lovely lady friend who is fun to share time with. Pat was in with some goodies this morning and that is always good...I think it is to keep me fat and sassy...smile. I wish I could show you the trees today as they are bright and beautiful. There is a mist, a fog between the high trees that are the color of the sunshine with deep yellows and a bit of orange in the leaves...very beautiful. It is almost time to go up for lunch and that is not all bad. I am hungry as usual....If you were here I'd invite you along. So....go...be good, be careful, be someone who is loving and fun to be around. I am off but will be back if I have something to share...smile. Be good, be YOU, be loving and have yourself a day to remember with smiles and a lot of love. Hugs to all.

Good Morning!

I have one eye open, brain asleep, eyes not open, what is that old Irish ditty..."I hate to get up in the morning, ...la,la.la; it isn't always easy as some mornings we just want to snooze in a little bit longer...but there is a reason or two we have to get up and join the busy day all over again. It is pitch black out my window, no noise or traffic a yet. There is a light on the outside of the hospital wing and silence. Coffee....aah!!!! My coffee is hot and good. There is nothing to go with it. I do have to go grocery shopping and find something good to eat for this week. We ladies were off to game a bit yesterday and that was fun. I had a little luck in that I had a chance to come home with my own money for a change left theirs behind as they are much to selfish to share..smile. A nice ride, a good lunch, a little play, and coming home with your own money is considered 'a win'...smile. And....best of all was having Marcia visiting from Brookings. She and her friend were up for the weekend and they are fun and so easy to be with and enjoy. I don't think any one of us won, but we did come home with some of our own money so that is considered 'good'; coming home with theirs would make it much better, but the casino folks know more about hanging on to their cash than we do. All in all, we had a lot of laughs, good food, some fun time trying to win a little of that cash in the machine, Probably has glue to keep it where it is...smile. So the weekend passed much to quickly, as it does when you are having some fun. I am off to refill my coffee cup. It is empty...um....wonder where that coffee went...ha.ha. well I do have one eye open...be patient with me. I need to make a grocery list as the cupboards are bare. I would love to have something 'good' to go with my coffee but there just isn't anything here...if there was you know I'd have it all gone...smile. I wish you a good day. I hope you find things to do that are pure pleasure...reasons to smile and laughter follow you around. Catch up when you have time as I want to know how you are and what you are up to......um.....I wonder....ha.ha. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be you. Hugs to all.

Hello Again...Still...Yet!!! ha...ha...ha....

I am sitting at the desk which is in front of my big picture window looking at the most beautiful Fall colors in the tall trees that are behind the hospital wing. The sky is murky and it wants to rain but right now it is not raining but the tarmac is still wet from an earlier deluge. The trees ae beautiful, even more than that, but I don't have the words to describe them. Such beauty...The bird on the roof top agrees. All of the worker cars are in front of my window. There is a new box like car, small, square, compact; have no idea what it is. I had not noticed earlier but there is a deep purple car in front of my window; a beautiful deep shade; must be one of the newer colors as I have not seen it before. There are white, grey, black and tan cars parked but those at the end of the lot are out of sight so I cannot tell you about them. It has been raining, the tarmac is puddled and the bird on the roof top is not moving, rain or no rain....smile. The shades are up in the hospital wing, no lights on in the room or tv's which you can usually get a glimpse of. All is silent. I am waiting for time to pass for lunch time. Some days takes longer than others and today seems endless...smile...yes, I am hungry. I don't want to go in the kitchen and spoil my appetite but believe me it is tempting...smile. I hope you are having a good day doing what you want to do. AS for me, I am going to sit in my easy chair and watch some television news and wait for time to go up and join the crowd for lunch. I am hungry. ha...ha. i am always hungry!!! Go..have yourself a good rest of today doing what you want to do, like to do, and do so well.....Enjoy!!! Hugs to all.

"Now its Thursday morning"

Good morning One eye open, well...almost. pitch black out my window, night light still on, silence...a new day. I am not all the way awake but working on it. Coffee helps..."aah"....hot, black, and tasty...a wake-upper if there ever was one. I have one eye open; it is too early to gab and I am really not awake...but I am working on it....just be patient, know I would say a lot if I had something to say...smile. A quiet morning, pitch black out the window now having said that I can go finish my coffee, get a refill, feet up, news on and wake up. I hope your day is going to be one of your best and you are content and happy. The prayer of serenity says: "God grant e the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." So, put your mind and heart into having a good day all day doing what you want to do..... As for me, I have to open the other eye. I have a coffee cup that is already empty. I have to wake up....now that is a good idea; I am off to wake up....smile. Be good, be kind, be YOU......make those you love and like happy to see you walk in the door today. Hugs are a cure all; try a couple and see for yourself.

Wednesday evening

I hope you and Jo had a good day all day. I had a quiet one, stayed in, nothing on going to brag about. It is raining. The trees are beautiful, the colors are spectacular. New very light grey truck out there tonight. One darker grey and a red one; only a skeleton crew at night I think. I am going to go sit in my chair and watch tv. I have no desert in this house so you know I will have to shop tomorrow...smile. The sky looks dark, clouds moving in so we may be having some rain before the night is over I love you. I love Jo too. I hope you both had a good day doing what you wanted to do. Catchup. love you, more every day.

Now it is Wednesday morning .....early....

Good morning to you, Good morning to you. la, la,...ha....ha. aren't you glad you are there and not here listening to my dulcet tones. It is pitch black out my window, night light on the side of the hospital wing and silence. The worker cars are parked in front of my window, can't see them though as it is dark out there..early....not a sign of a breeze, nothing moving....even me....ha.ha. I hope your day is going to be a good one and you get to do all that you want to do. I know, there are some things you have to do but that is the 'name of the game' and you will get things done..when you wake up. I am working on it....yawn, yawn..... Darkness out my window, quiet, night light shining and all is silent....morning...early...aah!!! I hope your day is a good one and you enjoy your seconds. I hope you feel good. I hope that you do good deeds and make those you love and like happy that you are in their lives. I am off for a coffee refill; feet up; news on; quiet time and lazy time, so nice....a good way to start a new day. hugs to all.

Tuesday, October 15, 2019

Tuesday Morning

Good morning. Coffee ..aah!!! hot and tasty, thank God for the coffee bean....It is pitch black out my window, no lights on in the hospital wing, way too early for that. The outside night light is still on and all is quiet...silence...can't see the difference between sky and ground. A new Tuesday, wonder what is in store for us today... Ready??? 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". Now we are all set for a new day...smile. It is dark out my window, night light on the side of the hospital wing, a few cars parked outside my window and silence. If I repeat myself bear with me as it is early and I only have one eye open. Coffee hot and tasty should help wake me up. I am amazed at the worker cars coming in so silently; it is if they do not want to wake anyone up...I am laughing as they probably are not even awake yet. I am going for a refill of my coffee, feet up, watch the television for awhile and wake up.....a new day....um.... I hope your day is wonderful, just like you...be good, be kind, be gentle, and have a day for yourself that will live long in your memory banks. I am off for a refill as my coffee cup is empty....yep, drank it to the last drop...smile. Have some fun, you know that old adage..."all work and no play...." Catch up when you have time. Hugs to all.

A New Monday!!

Good Morning. It is quiet, silent really, little bird on the roof top watching the workers come n and park. They are parking under my window this morning and I can see four of the parked cars in their shining colors, a red, a grey, a black and a tan, all look new...not a dent to see in any one of them and hopefully there will not be any..smile. The trees are lovely this morning all dressed up in their winter colors and I might add very beautiful. The little birds are busy flying in and out of the bushes across the way and one is sitting on top of the rooftop watching the activity on going in the driveway. It is quiet. It is still. It is a new Monday. I hope your day is going to be a good one all day and you get to do all the things you want to do; the have to do will be lined up so get them out of the way and free yourself up to do what you want to do. I am of for a coffee refill; watching tv news; no rush, no fuss, a big fat sugar doughnut would be good but it isn't going to happen today... Have yourself a good day all day. Catch up when you have time. Off for a hot coffee refill, feet up, tv on....no rush, no fuss...it is a new Monday all day ....no place to go, nothing to do, poor me...ha.ha. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be one who shares love and laughter. Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

Good morning. The sky is soft, more white than blue and the trees are beautiful and golden and not moving. The little bird is on the roof top of the hospital building in its usual spot. I think it thinks it is a traffic cop and leads the cars into the parking spots. There are several worker cars parked under my window, two are grey, light and silvery colored; a bright red one and a dark blue one so far. It is early and it is Saturday so maybe there will not be many more coming in for awhile. I am not all the way awake but working on it. I need to go for a refill of hot coffee and that should help. I hope you and Jo have a good Saturday doing what you want to do. I have no plans as yet but will think of something before the day is over. Have a fun day, do something you want to do...let the have tos go for another time..smile. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Have some fun today. Love you more every day.

"Now it's Friday Morning"

Good Morning. The sun is out. The trees are still and all in their beautiful Fall colors; how lovely. The worker cars are parked under my window and there are three grey ones, which probably is the color this Fall...Good looking, not one old car in the line up. I am dressed, shoes on, waiting for an invitation...smile. It is too early for lunch time but I am ready for it. I have tv on, news, and the young lady has a nasal voice and i wonder how she got hired. She whines.... I have no new news and have already forgotten the old stuff..smile. I will give you a break and go away early this morning. I am going out to the kitchen and heat the coffee and maybe look for some 'small'..ha..ha...thing to go with it. I don't think I have anything 'small' in the kitchen....but I don't want to ruin lunch time as they may have something really tasty today. All in all, I am ready for a new day. I hope your day is wonderful, like yOU...Hugs to all.

Friday Morning

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window. A big truck just went bye....cars coming in slowly and a new work day begins. There is only one room lit up over there , the others are all dark and the folks sleeping in. They should be as it isn't even six thirty a.m. I am off for a refill...be right back. AAH!!! Coffee, hot and black. Hot and tasty. How thankful I am for the coffee bean...smile. A new Friday, no plans, pitch black out my window at 6:40 a.m. and I've been sitting here at he typewriter for at least a half hour, if not more. I am awake..well, almost. I have no new news. I am not planning any special things to do today but thee is plenty of things I can do from ;picking up after myself to laundry and a few other mundane duties that keeps us off the streets. All in all, i am awake. My coffee is hot and tasty. The sky is black, no lights on in the hospital wing so it is early... Off it go to start my day, number one is to hunker in my chair, after I turn the TV on, find something to look at...news is always good...or a good Western doesn't hurt.

hello!!!

Dinner over, apartment cleaned today, sun was out, no wind, no invites out, so there is little or nothing to tell you about. I wish I had some fun tales to tell. I had some time waiting for the apartment to be cleaned and I go out to the big room out by my door where they have meetings and such and waited there and visit with any one that comes through and takes a minute to visit. Nice folks here for the most part....there is always one or two curmudgeons in the mix. I have no new news. The girls were busy today so I didn't get to visit with them. Chris has a lot to do with the Gallery and Pat was busy doing housework today. The weather itself was beautiful; getting colder you can feel it in the air. So I have no tales to tell. I hope you and Jo had a good day all day doing what you wanted to do. Catch up soon. Give JO a hug and get one back. I am off for a little TV...on to continue my novel and then lights out. Sleep sweet, give JO a hug and get one back from me. Love you. Good night. Sweet dreams. Sleep sweet.... just found this and wonder if it ever went out....I don't think so; oh well the brain is one of the first things to go...smile.

Hello!!!

It is dinner time and I am having my coffee here at the computer; had a few nibbles in the kitchen and wish I had something 'good' to go along with it but there is nothing good in this house....ha.ha. you have heard that before. A quiet day. Apartment cleaned, in about five minutes; they don't do much and there really isn't much for them to do as I keep the apartment clean. It is a cool day, sunshine day and the evening sun is now shining on the tree tops; so beautiful. One tree top is bright and has a lot of orange shading to it along with yellow. A quiet day, nothing to complain about....well.....ha.ha. I hope you and JO had a good day all day doing what you love to do. Sleep sweet and check with me soon so I know what you two are up to. I love you, more every day. Give Jo a hug and get one back....sweet dreams when you get there.

Hello!!!

Not sure this is working. Giving me fits today. It is a beautiful sunshine day. I hope to go out in a bit and get a little fresh air and sunshine although I have had door wide open and am getting a breeze right now. A little cool....sweater weather. Not much going on so no new news. All seems fine, girls seem okay, no one complaining..ha.ha. well, I do on occasion. The little cleaning girl just came and I have nothing to clean ..I am a good housekeeper and a one bedroom is easy to keep ship shape. There is no new news. All seems quiet. No one is complaining, at last not that I heard. I do all the time but nobody listens. ha.ha. I just wanted to touch base. Say hello. Tell you I love you and Jo and hope you are having some fun today. I think you should go out to dinner and treat yourselves to your favorite food. I am thinking I'd like to go for some Chinese this week...I will have to talk the girls into it. I am not sure it is their favorite. I am off..not to far...just a little..ha.ha. have yourself a good rest of today; Give JO a hug and get one back. love you, more every day.

Good Morning!!

It is quiet, still, a pink cast in the sky this morning, wonder if that means a storm....the trees are still, the worker cars are parked under my window and all is quiet. One worker walking along all bundled up so it must be cold out there this morning. A little frost on the roof top and the bird is out there waiting for a new day to begins. I am awake....well that is debatable...smile......Most of the cars are black or dark blue but here is one white one that sticks out like a sore thumb. There is frost on the roof top. All the shades are down and dark but one room and someone is up. I have no new news this morning. I am not quite awake..ha.ha. I am off for a coffee refill, feet up, news on, but right now there is a cowboy on...I am off for a new day and hope it is a good one. I hope your day is too. Do something you have been wanting to do..smile. Be good, be kind, be you...love you more every day. Give Jo a hug and get one back.

Wednesday Evening

I am getting ready to call it a day; it is very early and I intend to read awhile but time will tell..smile. It was a good day, had time with the girls and got to sit in Pat's back yard for awhile. It is lovely out doors , at least it was today, but the weather is changing slowly...Fall is coming closer and soon we will be in heavy coats and wishing for warmer weather..never satisfied..ha..ha. There is no new news. Same old .same old...the mind is changing and soon I wont remember what I did early in the day or the day before....I hate to see it coming but old age has a way of catching up with one....and I am not going to like it..ha.ha. I have no new news. A quiet day. I've been watching television and feet up so no complaints. I hope you and Jo had a good day. I hope you found things to do that made you smile. I love you. I hope you are having a busy time getting things ready for the oncoming change of season....The word holiday comes to mind but we wont go there yet. ha.ha. Give Jo a hug and get one back.

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window, no lights on in the hospital wing and the night light is on outside showing off the parking spaces...all is quiet..silent...not a peep from anyone or anything; early is quiet time and I am off to refill my coffee cup...that first cup goes down fast...smile. AAH, coffee, hot and black....are you ready? The 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." Wake up time and a time to say good morning and have a good day all day doing what you want to do. I am not awake so have no idea what I want to do...yet...smile. I know I will think of something. It is dark and quiet outside my window. The worker cars are coming in slowly and the night light is shining brightly to lead the way. The quiet of early morning...aah!!! I hope your day is a good one. I hope you get to do what you want to do and find reasons to smile. Be good. Be kind. Be a beacon of light and lead the way for those searching for a foot to stand on. Be a friend.

Monday Evening

Hello. It wants to rain but seems to be having trouble doing it; the macadam looks wet but it must be from earlier as the car windows of the parked cars are clear. There are only two out there right now,a beige one and a small truck like affair. There are so many new type models out there anymore. I wouldn't be able to choose one over the other if I were still driving, but I am happy not driving...I never did like it..I was always afraid I would cause an accident...no confidence. but I did okay so I cannot complain...I would, I could but I wont..haha. All is quiet. The girls stopped in and visited and are home with their feet up and happy to have the day over and done with. Chris spent time at the Gallery. Pat was busy in her house doing work and out and about. I got to see them and that is always good for me. I had a quiet day. I have nothing to complain about....well.....ha.ha.ha. It is starting to rain. One white car and one black truck like car is out there. The little bird is on the roof top across the way and all is silent.

It is pitch black out my window, the sky is almost a purple shade this early in the morning. The trees are still, nothing moving. the night light is still on the hospital building and I cannot see if the bird is there or not..probably is, watching the workers come in for the day. I have no new news...same old ..same old...so I will give you a break and let you off this morning.

Sunday Evening!!!

Hello. The sky is absolutely beautiful right now. There is a pink cast spreading over the entire area and a half moon hovering over it; so beautiful, and the trees are still, a colorful pink sky behind the trees, so beautiful...a lovely sight to remember. It was a good day all day spent with my girls. We had dinner at Pat's home and watched some television programs. I am very thankful for all the love and attention that I get. We had a lovely dinner. We watched some television programs we are all 'into' and enjoyed. All in all a good day, a wonderful day. I have my shoes off, television is on and I am hunkered in for the night. I am ready to call it a day and have to smile as it was a very good day one to remember. I have a good book going but not ready to start a new chapter until later...have a little tv to watch before I turn in and face the book..smile. I am off to make a cup of hot tea. I think there are some cookies left in the tin but I wouldn't swear to it. I don't know how long 'sweets' last in your house but they don't last long in this one. I wish you a good night...sweet dreams when you get there...and...a good tomorrow when you wake up and face your new day. Sleep sweet...don't forget a little prayer or two, one in thanksgiving for the day you had to day and you made it through...smile. Catch up and let me know how you are doing. Hugs. Jean

Sunday Morning!!!

Good morning There is fog this morning hovering over and through the trees. The little birds are busy at the feeders and the big bird is on the roof top overlooking the traffic as it comes in. All is quiet. It is Sunday...the cars are parked under my window this morning and there are a couple of new ones, a pretty soft grey for one and a white one with racks on the top. The others are dark, a blue or black, hard to tell from here. All is quiet. Silence really. Some of the shades are still drawn in the hospital wing but a few are up and have opened their shades. A new Sunday and this morning there is a heavy duty fog that is really very pretty as it hides the huge trees. The worker cars are under my window and there is a silver grey, a black, a white and a dark grey I can see without standing up and stretching to see...smile. The little tree is in full bloom, bright colors of Fall and very lovely. The bird feeders, there are two of them, are almost empty as the birds have been busy this morning. The fog is soft and hazy making shadows of the huge trees and all is still. A quiet Sunday morning. I am off to get dressed and will check with the girls and see if anyone is interested in going out for breakfast. They probably already had their breakfast but I have been thinking about it but not doing anything about it. I am wishing you all a good day, a happy day, a day filled with adventures you enjoy....a walk out; a visit with a friend; a tea party with something tasty, not a bit of waste on a Sunday...smile. I am off to get ready for a new Sunday. Have a good day all day doing what you want to do. Be good, be kind, be loving...be YOU!! Hugs to all.

Now It's Saturday Morning!!!

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window. The worker cars are parked under my window this morning and there are no lights shining in the hospital wing; all snoozing away and I'd say that is good for a Saturday morning. I am moving slowly, no rush, no fuss, all is quiet and the little bird is on the roof top watching the workers park and come in to work for the day. I am almost awake...well I really have not been up that long....awake, laying there thinking about getting up and finally did....I wanted to roll over and go back and sleep for another hour or so but the body clock says no way and up you go and that I do....the hot coffee is worth it...but the cup is empty so you know what I am going to do next.....I will be back. AAH, thank God for the coffee bean. It is quiet...not a sign of a breeze as the trees are still. The worker cars parked under my window and there is a new white one this morning, only one facing out the others all facing in. There is one in every crowd...ha.ha. My little calendar says it is Saturday morning, the tv is on, something on about Starbucks getting sued. I have no new news. Nothing exciting going on around here. No plots and plans, all is quiet and that is not all bad...smile. So, I wish you a good day all day doing what you want to do. I hope you are healthy and happy; or at least content...smile. Be good, be kind, be YOU. Have a day you will remember with love and caring for a long time to come. I am off....well do not be so quick to agree....smile.....it does take all kinds to make the world go around...smile. Be good, be kind, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Friday, October 4, 2019

NOW It is Friday morning, all morning!!

Hello. Not sure what is going on with the computer or me...either one...ha.ha. How are you this morning? I am good, brain not clear but working on it. The sky is bright and beautiful filled with white clouds and not a bit of a breeze. The bird is on the roof to and the worker cars are parked in front of my window. All is quiet and that is good. I am dressed, shoes on, now for an invitation out. I don't think so as the girls are busy. I think shopping probably Costco this morning. They manage to find things for my larder so I don't have anything to complain about.....well, I could think of something...ha...ha... The little bird is on the roof top of the hospital wing. The trees are still, the Fall colors so beautiful. I am dressed, shoes on, all I need is an invitation and I think that will be upstairs for lunch time but that is quite a way off yet. I have not had breakfast yet..and there is nothing good in this house...lots to eat if I look but not what I am looking for....sweets....the kind that are non fattening...ha..ha. when you find out what, when and where they are let me know. I think I will settle for a cup of good hot coffee, a little something to go with it but I have to look and see what is out there. So...off I go...ready for a new day...a good day...in fact a beautiful sunshine day....lovely clouds this morning in a very pretty blue sky...how lucky we are. Have yourself a good day, a day to remember. Be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!! Hugs to all.

"Now It's Thursday Morning:

My little calendar says so....smile. It is light blue skies with a bit block of dark clouds wafting bye. The trees are still. The worker cars are parked under my window and I have a new red open car with a black covering to protect it from wet weather. There are some dark clouds up in the sky but no wind at all. It is quiet...silent and the little bird is on the roof top in its favorite place. The night light is still on the side of the hospital building. Not a creature is stirring not even one of the squirrels right now. Silence.... Vera is out walking her little dog. She is moving slowly and all hunched over so it must be a bit chilly out there. No new news...no old news....It takes a bit of time to wake up...and I am not awake as yet but working on it. I will go refill my coffee cup, feet up and watch the news. A new day...hopefully a busy and a good one. The lady on TV is saying we may hae thunder storms with highs in the fifties...so a new day and not a bad one. I hope you have a good day all day doing what you want to do, after the have to's have been taken care of...smile. The cars are parked under my window and there is several going by to the back area. One is a brand new blue and ti is really blue....There is a variety of colors as I see a bright red, a wind shade, one black, and two that look navy blue...there are more but further away from my sight....good thing or I'd bore you with details...smile. Have yourself a good day doing what you love to do. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Wednesday Morning!!

Good Morning. The sky is filled with clouds over a lovely soft blue this morning. The trees are still and the Fall colors are beautiful. One small tree across from my window is filled with the most beautiful Fall colors...striking and so lovely. The tall trees in the back are turning but very slowly. There is not a lot of color yet. It is hard to believe Fall is here and a new winter time will begin. How fast our seasons go, or is it I am slowing down and they catch up and pass me by. The worker cars are all parked in front of my window this morning. There is a new grey one with a glass roof top that is very good looking. The others are all dark and there is one red wagon parked out there that I can see if I stand up and really look. The little bird is on the roof top and the tree tops are still, all is quiet. one of our men is out walking his little dog, a daily routine, and this morning they are moving a little on the fast side so it must be cold out there. We have folks with new cars and I have to admit some of them are really beautiful. There is a new blue color this year that is striking. Five of the worker cars fill my window, one red, two on the purple shade and one a pretty soft grey. All look brand new. My little bird is on the fence, usually it has a friend or two along but this morning it is all by itself. The sun has caught the top of the little tree that is really beautiful in its Fall coat. A new day....I am going for a refill of my coffee, feet up, news on, and wake up. Oh for a big fat jelly doughnut....oh well toast isn't all that bad....but...if I had my druthers....ha...ha. I hope your day is a good one. Do your best to make it so. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.
