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.

It has been a day of drop ins and an almost rainy day; been sunless; wants to do something but cannot make up its minds..smile. Catch up when you have time.

Off to listen to news..feet up...aah...love you, more every day.

Friday Afternoon

Hello Just got down from puzzling, didn't do to bad. All is quiet as it is one of those overcast grey days. Cars all parked under my window seven, all different models. one truck. There is a new berry red one today and it is a beauty, window roof top and all, looks like a compact car and it is wine red. All is quiet Looks like it wants to rain. I just got down from puzzling so will take the shoes off and rest the feet..smile. Hope you and Jo are having a good day all day doing what you want to do. Catch up when you have time. I am off to find out what I want to do....read????watch tv????? I'd go for a walk for exercise but it is not a nice day out there. It is threatening to rain and it would wait for me to go out the door to do so. smile. I will turn on the television and see what is on. Can't think of anything I want to watch. A good movie if there was one. It is one of those dull overcast days so I may just stay put and do nothing..ha.ha. love you. hurry back.

Friday Morning

The shades are down in the hospital wing; the bird is on the roof top; the trees are still and the sky is a soft blue. The worker cars are parked on my side this morning The tarmac is wet. It is Friday morning and a soft grey sky is soft and light and the trees are still, no movement at all. It is early, a Friday morning and the little bird is keeping watch on the roof top across the way. I have one eye open. I am really not awake but getting there slowly. There is a variety of color in the cars and trucks parked outside my window. No two alike. One truck and four sedans I can see from the window. All is silent. Not even the trees have movement this morning. I have no new news this morning. I am really not all the way awake yet and have no desire to rush this morning. I see a new 'celery green; car driving in, not bad looking, different. I am going out to my kitchen, fill my coffee cup, sit and watch the news ...feet up...no rush....it is Friday morning, a weekend coming up and I wonder what is in store for us. Go....have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do. Make it something fun and relax. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Friday morning

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window but the night light is on and gives a little light to the side of the hospital wing. It is so dark on the lot you cannot see anything. WE have a way to go before daylight shines bright. I am awake...well almost...a sip of coffee will help. You may be sleeping so I will tiptoe away and sit in my easy chair and watch the television news. If you are awake then the prayer of serenity is in order. "God grant me the serenity to accept the thing I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know...the difference." That should get us off to a good start. My coffee cup needs filling, news is on, pitch black out my window and all is silent. Friday morning....off to wake up. I will be back later gater...smile. Coffee, coffee.....aah.

Thursday Evening

I started to write quite awhile ago, got way laid and am back. Now I don't remember what I was going to say...ha.ha. I am getting 'addled' brained and I am a bit scared of it; this getting o l d is not fun, it is worrisome as the brain cells go their own way when you are not thinking or looking. Oh well, time has a way of catching up and although I hate to admit it, my time is coming faster than I like. It was a good day today. I cannot complain. I enjoy the girls and our outings no matter how big or little we do. The weather was lovely, nothing to complain about. We saw a couple of huge barges today; wonder what they haul. I hope you and JO had a good day. Catch up and let me know what you two are up to. Something fun I hope. I am taking my shoes off. The laundry room is off limits for the rest of tonight. I am going to sit in my easy chair, watch tv, and do a lot of tea sipping....um...wonder if there is anything good out in the kitchen to go with it....probably not as I eat anything good as it comes in the door..smile. Sleep sweet; give JO a hug and get one back. Catch up. love you, more every day. Mom

Now It's WEdnesday Morning!!!

Good morning. The sky is light, almost colorless, this morning....still...nothing moving. The worker cars are parked under my window and the road way is wet with rain drops. the little bird is on the roof top across the way and all is quiet. My coffee cup is empty. My eyes are open but really not awake yet but..working on it...ha.ha. you have heard that before. I am up, almost awake, not in a hurry to motivate....it is hump day...no fuss, no rush....until someone comes up with an idea or two. The worker cars are parked in front of my window and I see two new ones this morning. There are two light grey side by side that are brand new and shining bright...lovely...bet they ride well. I bet they cost a pretty penny as well. There is a new white boxed type car further up the line and a couple of dark blue sedans in between. The lot is full. The workers already in and busy. Not all of the blinds are up in the hospital wing. One worker is heading in with her umbrella up, so it is raining out there. The bus just took off for a shopping trip I am surprised as it is early and I didn't think anyone was up and out the door already. The fellow on television just said we have a 90 percent change of rain....easy for him to say....smile. I am off and going to get ready for a new day. I hope your day is going to be a good one and you get to do all you planned. Fellow on television is saying a light snow....hope he isn't close by....ha, ha. My mind is thinking sunshine and sunny beaches... I am going to love you and leave you. I have to find which 'uniform' I want to wear for the day. smile. Have yourself a banner day doing what you want to do. Be good, be kind, be gentle and loving. Make today special, like YOU!!!

Still Tuesday Morning!!!

Hello again. It is still Tuesday morning and I am still sitting here at the computer trying to come up with a few more words..but not of wisdom..ha.ha. all is quiet....all is still, worker cars are in front of my window and there is a new blue beauty that I would find hard to tell you the true color as they must have put a little purple in the blue paint to come up with the color it is. There are a variety of colors, a tan, a grey, a blue, a black, two whites in the row in front of my window. The tarmac looks wet so it must have been raining a little. The little bird is on the tall tree in front of the hospital wing and sees content. All is quiet. I don't think there is any wind at all as the trees have not moved even a little. The little birds are flying around and have not made up their minds as to where they want to sit awhile. They do have a favorite spot on top of the roof across the way..and there is a low branch on a small tree one little bird seems to have claimed as its own. There is a tan, blue, black and two white cars parked out there right now. All is quiet. No wind as the trees are not moving at all. One of the workers is walking in with the umbrella up...and I didn't think it was raining...but I guess it is. not hard anyway. smile. I am going for a coffee refill; feet up....tv on....no rush...no fuss...all is quiet around here. I hope you and Jo have a good day all day doing what you want to do. Take time for a little fun. I love you, more every day. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Love you..more every day.

Now It's Tuesday Morning!!

Silence, a sky of soft blue, almost a grey shade and the tree tops are not moving at all. The night light is still on the side of the hospital wing. There is a shade up on one window showing the tv on, the other windows are dark. No breeze this morning. Silence!!! The worker cars are under my window and there is a new bright blue one, a new shade I have not seen before. It is bright and alive with a few white designs on the hood. There are three grey cars, two are wagons. The workers are in and a new day begins. My coffee cup is empty so I am going to love you and leave you and go for a refill, feet up, tv on, do a lot of waking up and get ready for a new day. I hope your day is a good one and you put a lot into it so you get a lot out of it...smile. Just remember some words of wisdom and that is that you get out of your day what you put into it..no more, no less. So now you have to get busy and think of things you want to do, love to do, and even have to do. I am off for some hot coffee, feet up.....cowboys on..yippee ki yeah....go...make your day the best one yet. Hugs to all.

Now It's Tuesday Morning!!!

I want to say pitch black out my window but the night light is still on and all of the blinds are down in the windows of the hospital wing. The sky is a violet blue this morning, no wind at all, nothing moving. The worker cars are parked under my window this morning and, at the moment, all is quiet...silent really. There must have been a 'fire' sale on white cars as there are four out in front of my window this morning. The sky is a soft violet shade and there is not a sign of a breeze, nothing is moving. The night light shines in my window...oh for a b b gun...ha...ha. My coffee cup needs attention. I need to open the eyes. I have no new news I am sorry to say. Nothing much happened around here yesterday and it is going to take some time to wake up before getting active for today. Early morning....yawn...yawn....... So...wake up, enjoy your new day, find things to do and places to go. Be a friend. Be a love. Be YOU!!!

Monday Afternoon

There is a flu bug enjoying the area this week and so many of the folks are coming down with it. I thought I had a light case of it not long ago so hopefully that was enough for this season. We have a dull day, a want a rain day, but it isn't doing it, no puddles on the ground and the little bird is on the roof top across the way waiting patiently for something to fall from the sky....such patience, been there for hours. One of the ladies who works in the hospital unit is walking to her car and has strange head gear on...not sure if it is a hat or what...sure is funny. I have the cowboys on; late in the day for them, I don't mind.smile. I just had some icecream to tide me over until dinner time...smile. It is quiet here, no one moving about. Just wanted to stop and say hello. I am bored, can't you tell....ha.ha. I want out...I want to go play but it really is not a good day for driving about. I am just bored. Good think you have broad shoulders. ha.ha. thanks for listening. ha.ha. just what you need on a Monday afternoon. I hope you are having a good day doing what you want to do. Give Jo a hug and get one back. I'm going to watch more of the cowboys and watch the rain drops fall.

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

Good morning. I hope you and Jo are hale and hardy and ready for a new day. It is quiet around here, no noise at all, no one up an moving that I can hear and I certainly am not making any noise. It is still. It is quiet. The worker cars are parked under my window and each one is different, not very old and all in great condition. The pay scale must be good in the hospital wing. The little bird is on the roof top. The trees are still. No one about and nothing moving. Cars are parked under my window and each one is different in style and color. It is silent right now. No noise outside or inside. I am off for a refill of my coffee; feet up; news on; wow,someone just drove bye in a lovely little car, don't know what it is but it sure has a lot of style and I bet it drives nice. It is quiet around here, no one up and moving yet, if they are they are being very quiet..smile...it is just to early to wake up and make noise. It looks like it is going to be a good day, a nice day, a sunshine day. I have no plans as yet but am not adverse to making some. I will have to check and see what the girls are up to. Right now it is silent. I have had my coffee, not ready to eat anything yet and there really is nothing good in this house....ha,ha. you have heard that before. I am going to love you and leave you for now. I am going to get dressed and get ready to put my shoes on, one never knows when an invitation is extended to go for a 'bite'....and, the sky is bright and clear so we may be in for a nice day. I a off to shower and dress and get ready for a new day. I hope your day is wonderful, just like YOU!!! I will be back....later gater. bye for now.

I am ready. It has been a good day, a long day, a do nothing special day and I am glad I took time out to catch up with myself. Now, I can get ready to turn in, book in hand, aah.....then sweet dreams.

Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Hello!!! Tuesday evening!!!

Hello. Just got back, spent the afternoon with Pat watching television and having something 'good' as a treat...smile. nothing fattening though....ha, ha.ha...I wish. We are having rain. It is going to storm more and more according to the newscaster tonight. No new news, all the same, enjoyed the television programs and the company and the treats. Erin was busy with homework, seems to have a lot of it. So that was today, no new news...nothing exciting but nothing to complain about. smile. I just wanted to say hello and good night, sleep tight. Give Jo a hug and get one back and catch up when you have some time. I am taking my shoes off, pj's on, tv on. and do a lot of nothing more today. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Catch up. Love you. Sweet dreams when you get there.

Now it's Tuesday Morning!!

Good morning.Pitch black out my window, nothing moving, night light on side of hospital building but no inside lights yet; it is early, a little after seven and no one in a hurry to start their new day. Well, a few of us are up but not really awake as yet but the hot coffee should help. I am almost awake...smile...... A new Tuesday, wonder what today will hold for us. I have no special plans but I will probably think of something before the morning is over. Let us start with 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." That should give us a good start...now..coffee...aah..hot and tasty. The blinds are open and the sky is early morning blue, and the trees are still. At the moment nothing is moving even the lights are not on over in the hospital wing; all snoozing in. My coffee is hot and delicious. There is nothing to go with it but I really am not hungry yet. I have to open the eyes and wake up....so off I go to the kitchen, find something for my breakfast, news on, feet up and start a new day. I hope your day is going to be a fun one and you get to do all you plan to do. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

Monday, January 20, 2020

It is a New Monday Morning!!!

Dark outside my window, worker cars moving in slowly and the sky is more lavender than blue. The trees are still and the taller ones in shadow, night time is slowly changing to day light. I have one eye open. Almost....smile. The sky is a lovely shade of blue; the tree tops are still; the night light is still on the side of the hospital wing and some of the workers are slowly walking in. The worker cars are parked under my window. Still, dark, quiet. I am off for a coffee refill. The first cup goes down so fast you hardly know you have had a cup of hot coffee..smile. I marvel at how quiet the worker cars are early in the morning. The motor seems to know it should not be noisy..workers are moving along quite fast this morning; in a hurry to get working..smile. I am off for a refill, feet up, tv news on and some wake up time. i hope your day is a good one. Be good, be kind, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Sunday, January 19, 2020

Sunday night

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. I just received news of the passing of a neighbor and friend of many years when living in Brookings. Laverne was a good neighbor. She was a friend. She was caring and shared her friendship and time whenever she could. We shared a lot of time and life together as neighbors. She will be missed. I have many memories of our years as neighbors and friends. She loved sharing and caring and did a very good job of it. She is going to be missed. When you next go to church light a candle in honor of her good neighbor policies and the time and love she shared. I am smiling as I remember her coming in my door saying...."this is your nosy neighbor" and she was, the good kind. Laverne will be missed so when you next stop by church light a candle in thanksgiving for the time you had to share. It is never easy to lose a neighbor and friend, or anyone you care about. We never know how much time we have to share so we need to put a little more time and effort into sharing and caring. Life is short at best, so make each day a day to remember with the love you feel for family and friends; neighbors are true friends once we let the guard down and become true neighbors. So make an effort to be the best you can be. A good friend, a good neighbor, a good person who knows how to share. Be YOU and make the your world a happier place to be Go....be the best you can be. Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning

Good Morning!!! It is pitch black out my window, night light on the building across the way; so dark out there you cannot see the parked cars and that is with the night light still on. It is quiet...silent...nothing moving, no noise of any kind...all the sleepers are snoozing away and a new day begins, a Sunday, a church day, a holy day, a quiet day. So let us start off with 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." A Sunday all day, let us try and make it a good one. I have no new news so wont take much time this morning. I have my coffee cup at the elbow and am enjoying hot coffee. There is no new news, nothing interesting happened yesterday and it is much to early to think about anything going on at this time of the morning...a good excuse to go back to bed...but once up, I am up and that is the end of that. but....there is nothing that says I cannot head for the easy chair, tv on, feet up and enjoy the early morning doing nothing..smile. Go, have yourself a day to remember. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Catch up when you have time. I want to know how you are and what you are up to. I am off for a refill, feet up, tv on and wake up. Have a good day, all day, doing what you want to do. Be a good family member, be a good neighbor, be a good YOU....have a good day all day...Hugs to all.

It has been a good Saturday and nothing to complain about...who would listen??? ha.ha. no one I know of.... It is quiet around here tonight. I think everyone has already decided to hunker down, watch some tv nd turn in early. I didn't go anywhere. I didn't do anything new or different. I have no new news, so....I am going to say good night, sweet dreams and I will catch up with you tomorrow. Yes, I have a good book going...how could you tell? ha.ha. off I go to read awhile and turn in for this day. A new day tomorrow, a Sunday, and that has to be a good omen...A quiet day..A good day....a day to share, to visit, to go out and about for a nice breakfast or lunch...um...wonder if I will hear from anyone early in the morning...or will the sleepers stay tucked in cozy and content.. time will tell..smile. Sweet dreams when you get there. Hugs to all.

Saturday morning

Good morning. It is pitch black out my window as far as the sky is concerned but the night light is on the side of the hospital wing and all is silent the workers cars are coming in slowly, folks having to wake up on a Saturday morning and put in a days work...bet they wish they could snooze in. I am awake, or almost, coffee mug is empty so I am going for a refill to help me open the other eye....be right back. Coffee....aah!!! I am not awake, but working on it. I am looking out the window at a night light still on, black sky you cannot see at all and nothing moving at the moment. Worker cars should be coming in. The lights are not on inside the hospital wing so everyone is snoozing in. Saturday morning is a good snoozing morning...but not being a snoozer, I am up and waking up to a new day as I wonder what is in store for me. are you 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 It's Friday morning"

Pitch black out my window. No light in the sky as yet but there is a night light on the side of the hospital building, all quiet..Not a patient stirring as yet. I have had my first cup of hot coffee and am ready to go for a refill. The coffee is hot and tasty and is a good wake up drink. There is nothing good to go with it. Can you imagine that? The night light on the side of the hospital wing is on, nothing coming in or out at the moment. It's early. My coffee cup is empty so off I go. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do. Make your life style shine with love and good deeds. Go..be you and make today 'a banner day'. Hugs to all....coffee....coffee...wake up, wake up....smile.

Shopping got done; visiting got done; good deed were done and all are content to say good night to another day. I wish you a good night; a good snoozing night; a good dreaming night. Don't forget to say a prayer for me when you say your good nights. Look forward to a good sleep....a good night and wake up feeling g r e a t. Don't forget a hardy breakfast for energy and stamina.

I wish you sweet dreams....good health...a bit of wealth...and days that roll out to be warm and wonderful no matter what the weather. Hugs and Sweet Dreams.

A Thursday Morning!!

The sky is lavender this morning, very pretty and the tree tops are still, not a sign of a breeze. There is a little snow on the roof top of the hospital wing, not a lot, just a long ribbon of white. All is quiet, lights on behind closed drapes and all is quiet. I think white is the new car color this month as I see three out there this morning. As for me, I have one eye open, the brain is not awake yet, the tv is on, news I think, but I am not really listening yet. I have some waking up to do and my coffee cup is empty so you know where I am heading. I hope your day is going to be a fun one. I hope you get to do all you want to do and have time to enjoy yourself doing what you like to do. I wish I could describe the morning sky in its quiet beauty. I enjoy looking at the quiet of the tree tops and love to find the pictures the tree tops make. This morning there is a huge "Z" letter in the tree top. Not a branch is moving. Silence at its best. The worker cars are coming in slowly, no motor noise as they seem to drift in quietly. They take turns on which side to park and today the cars are under my window At the moment there are three white, one black and one grey along with a lovely blue truck. So....coffee cup empty...news on....off to put the feet up and laze a bit before starting a new day. I hope your day is going to be the best yet. Go and see what you can do to make it so. Off to refill the coffee cup, feet up on the hassock, news on, and....wake up. Later gater, put some fun in your mix today....be a lover, be a friend, be YOU!!! Hugs to all.

"Now It's Wednesday Evening!

I have been sitting here at the computer for some time looking out the window to a winter scene The tall trees are snow trees as the branches are carrying a heavy load of snow. The roof top of the hospital wing is white with the exception of a small black bird sitting on the roof top. There are tiny bushes covered in snow and the street has tire marks in snow on my side of the road. The hospital windows have the shades up but darkness is within the rooms. One or two are still drawn but those that are open do not show anyone moving about. All is silent. It is hard to believe there is only one car parked out there right now. All is silent. An American Service automobile just drove in. The tall trees are covered in snow, very pretty to look at as the sky is light, more white than blue and nothing is moving.It is now after four p.m. and the room lights are beginning to shine. The drapes have not been drawn as yet but I am willing to say they will be soon. It is closing time over at the hospital wing and the night shift is coming in to take over the work for the rest of the day. Silence. Not a leaf stirring. Quiet....no movement whatsoever. It is time for me to move from the computer to my chair, turn on the latest news and decide what it is I want for my dinner. I am hungry and will have to go see what I have to work with. So thanks for sharing time with me today. I am off to have my dinner, some television news and the quiet of the rest of today. I wish I could describe the look of the outside right now; there is a glow in the sky; a soft grey, almost white, as if the last of the suns rays were leaving the area. It is really very beautiful and should be caught on a camera showing the face of a snow evening. How lucky we are, how beautiful as it seems to glow before leaving for the night.

Wednesday morning....Hump Day!!

Good morning. There is snow on the roof top across the way, the little bird is sitting on the edge of the roof top and it looks snowy white on the little trees and bushes. the worker cars are parked under my window this morning and all have snow on their roofs. The macadam is wet and all is still.. I am awake...well let us say waking up a little more. I have to go and get a refill of coffee.....aah...coffee..what would we do without it? I don't want to find out. There is a little bird on the roof top across the way, silence, white sky and still trees so all is silent around here this morning. I am going to wis you a good day all day doing what you want to do, a little of what you have to do, and some fun time in the mix. Off for a refill of hot coffee, feet up on the hassock, tv on, new ..um wonder what is going on. I am about to find out. Go...have yourself a fun morning doing what you want to do. Enjoy your day. Be good, be kind, be gentle, be loving. Hugs to all.

Tuesday Night

Time to call it a day; read awhile; looks like winter out my window; cold out there, not going to get me out the door any more today..smile. All is quiet...most folks already in for the night and no noise of any kind around here. I hope you and JO have sweet dreams when you get there. Catch up when you have time. Love you..

Another Few Words this Tuesday morning...smile!!!

Hello again. It is a winter scene out my window this morning, snow on the car roof tops, on the ground, in the bushes and on the hospital roof top. It looks cold and wintry and silence prevails. I am in need of a coffee refill and I will go for one soon as I leave the desk for my easy chair. The scene out my window is one of winter, snow on the roof top of the hospital wing; all worker car roof tops are loaded with snow and the bushes in front of the hospital wing are covered in a frosty white, so pretty, quiet, silence and one little bird sitting quietly on the roof top. A new day. Coffee cup is empty so off for a refill, feet up, news on, relax and spend some quiet time and wake up. I hope your day is a good one and you get to do all you want to do today. Enjoy. Catch up when you have time. Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning!!

Good morning. There is a white covering on the roof top across the way, the sky is as white as the roof top and all of the worker car roof tops are covered in white. Silence out there. Nothing moving at the moment, guess all who are on this shift are in and working already. I have no new news. All is quiet around here and I have the television on and the first news of the day. My coffee cup needs attention, A hot refill and back to my chair and news. I hope your day is going to be a good one and you find things to do and places to go. I have not made plans as yet but will think about it when I wake up. Right now, feet up, coffee refill, news on and wake up. Go..have yourself a good day, one you will remember with love and pride. Be good. Be kind. Be YOU!!

Now It's Tuesday Morning

Pitch black out my window, no lights on in the hospital building, all snoozing away with no thought of getting up and out of bed....lucky they can sleep in, some of us are just early risers and I blame my children for that..smile. There is frost on the big bush over by the hospital window, looks cold and frosty so I am not complaining about being in looking out. The worker cars are coming in slowly. They do not make a lot of noise which surprises me. I am hoping for a good day. Not sure what will come about but hopefully a trip out for awhile. Right now my coffee cup is empty and I need a refill...feet up...news on...and wake up. I hope your day is going to be a good one and you get to do all you want to do as well as all you have to do....a busy day is always a good day. Take good care to be healthy, a bit wealthy and you can adopt me, enjoy your day, all day. Off for a refill, feet up, news on, no rush, no fuss....aah....a new Tuesday. Have a good one. Hugs to all.

Another Monday morning greeting ..just for YOU!!!

I am sitting here at the computer watching snow fall onto the tarmac and the parked worker cars. It is coming down in big flakes so it will be interesting to see if it sticks. So far it is just a wet road but the car roof tops have a little white on them. It looks like winter; it looks cold and it is quiet. The little bird is on the roof top just sitting there. Guess the weather doesn't bother it. The bushes and little trees are covered in white and the ground has a white cover so winter wants to hang in for awhile longer. Early morning silence and one of our fellows is walking his little dog. He is bundled up and it looks cold but the little dog doesn't seem to mind at all. The birds are hanging onto the tree limbs and one big fellow is on the roof top. No wind at all, nothing moving. My coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill. I think I will sit awhile and listen to some news. It is going to be awhile before lunch time. I had breakfast so early I am hungry...oh what it takes to keep the girlish figure in tune. It looks like it is going to be a good day for a movie or if the invitation is not forthcoming I do have a good book going. So a quiet day isn't all bad. I hope your day is going to be wonderful, just like YOU....enjoy....work done, feet up, aah!!! Catch up when you have time. I want to know what you are up to....something fun I hope; smile!!! Hugs to all.

A New Monday Morning!!

There is a little snow on the bushes, pitch black out my window but the night light is on the side of the building showing frost on the car roofs. It is cold out there and I am happy I don't have to go out this early of a morning. It is early, no movement out there right now. The trees are tall shadows and only one room light on in the hospital wing; folks are still asleep this Monday morning. It is to early to make plans, it is to early to do anything but wake up and refill the coffee cup, feet up, news on, and realize a new Monday has begun and right now I have to work on waking up. Coffee, coffee, that should help..smile. Hot and black, tasty and that little doughnut seems to have a nice taste to it even this early of the morning. I wish you a good day, a fun day, a day to get your chores done and over with and as the old Irish used to say, "have the rest of the day to yourself." So, as you fill your Monday with all of the things you planned, take time to be loving and kind. Be YOU!!! Stop for a latte or a hot coffee; add a little something sweet as it helps your disposition shine...try it, you may find you like it...smile. Monday is the beginning of your new week. Monday is the day you start a new chapter. Monday is a new beginning and we can always use that. Wake up, start your day with a prayer of thanksgiving for your new day. Remember to say a prayer for the souls who have gone before us. Remember to say a prayer for those in need and add a little one for strength and courage to face your new day with a smile. Off for a refill, news, wake up and plot and plan a new Monday....although rolling over and having a few more minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt but the coffee cup is empty and the news is starting so off to the easy chair, feet up, sip...sip...and wake up to celebrate a new day. Enjoy your morning beverage, open both eyes to your new day and take time to enjoy it. Go...be YOU and do some good today. Hugs to all.

Sunday, January 12, 2020

Still Sunday morning but later.smile.

Hello again. I am sitting at the computer watching the rain drops fall; yes, a rainy day and the bird is on the roof top and doesn't seem to mind the rain at all. The worker cars are parked under my window this morning and there is a new light grey one, a sedan, and there is another similar next to it, then an empty space before a black car and a brown truck are parked. A busy place. The bird is on the roof top so it is not raining at the moment.Puddles on the pavement and the little birds are hiding in the bushes right now. Last count was three. You should see the new grey cars out there this morning. One is white and another light grey, both look new. It is quiet right now. No noise inside here...a quiet Sunday....and that is not bad at all..smile. Just wanted to touch base and say hello. Hope your day is a good one and you and Jo go out and about doing what you want to do...or not and stay in and do some snoozing...smile. I am off to fill my coffee cup. It is almost time to go up for lunch. A quiet Sunday isn't hard to take at all..smile. Love you...catch up when you have time. Give Jo a hug and get one back.

Sunday morning

Good morning to you and JO; pitch black out my window, quiet, one eye open and news on. I am off for some hot coffee, feet up, news on and wake up. I hope you two have a good day all day doing what you want to do. Hope it is fun ...catch up when you have time. Love you more every day. I'm awake, i'm awake...well almost...coffee...coffee...feet up...wake up. I will be back. love you, more every day.

A Saturday Morning Musing

It is pitch black out my window as you cannot see the sky from the earth The night light is on the building side reflected on a parked car. Worker cars are coming in slowly as a new work day begins. Silence and my coffee cup is empty so you know where I am going. Are you 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." Go...have a good Saturday doing what you love to do best. Be a friend, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!! Coffee....aah!!! Feet up....Cowboys on.......Saturday morning ..aah!!!!

Now It's Saturday Morning!!!

Good Morning. Coffee ..aah!!! Black out my window, a worker's car coming in to park for the work day. The night light is still on and you cannot see the roof top from the sky it is that dark out there. All is quiet. Silence really, even the car motors do not make a loud noise, folks tread easy this time of the morning. I have one eye open, coffee, coffee...aah!!! 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," A new day, Saturday all day, shopping day, could even be a fun day, depends on what YOU want to do. I am not awake but working on it. Coffee cup is empty so off for a refill, feet up for awhile as I listen to tv...cowboys will be on soon.....smile. Have yourself a good day doing what you want to do. Take care of business first and then add the fun of a new day to your menu of things to do. Be good, be kind, be gentle but most of all be loving....Go...have yourself a day that will go down in your history book. Off for a refill of my hot coffee, feet up, tv on, a lazy Saturday morning...aah!!!!! Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend, be a lover, be YOU!!!

Friday, January 10, 2020

Now It's Friday Morning!!!

Good Morning to YOU...Good Morning to YOU....smile, out of tune, singing you a good morning and wishing you a good day all day doing what you want to do. I am awake...well that is debatable...ha.ha. I do have both eyes open, the brain is still snoozing and the worker cars are coming in as they head for their special parking spot. I thank God for the coffee bean and a enjoying my first hot cup of coffee. The sky is pretty this morning with a tinge of lavender in the blue. the tree tops are still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning. The night light is on and the worker cars are parked under my window this morning. I am almost awake. It is Friday. No plans, much to early to even think of what to do today. I am sure something will come up. Hopefully the girls will have a suggestion or two and I will put my shoes on and go out the door. Meanwhile, it is early, to early to do anything but wake up I have my hot coffee, tv is on and news should be on to let me know what happened in the night. The ads are always clear....smile. I wish you a good day all day doing what you want to do. I have no special plans but not adverse to making some. So, catch up ...wake up...have a good tasty breakfast and energize...smile. Don't forget a good deed or two. Stay healthy and happy and catch up when you have some time. Hugs to all.

Now It's Thursday Morning!!!

Good morning to you...Good morning to you...la, la, la, la...Good morning to you....I hope your new day is going to be a good one all day. I hope you get to do all you want to do as well as getting done some of what has to be done. It is pitch black out my window right now; I have had one cup of hot coffee and am looking at an empty cup so you know where I am going.....be right back!!! AAH!!!! Hot coffee.... I cannot see the trees or the sky it is so dark out there right now. All is quiet. A few trucks have come in to unload their goods for the day and leave very quietly. It is still, quiet, and only one window light is on in the hospital wing. As for me, I have a refill of my coffee, hot and tasty and a wake-up libation for the early morning. I have no new news so wont stay. I will let you go back and snooze a bit longer. I am awake, once up that is it...I will hunker down in my chair for awhile and watch the tv news. I hope your day is going to be a good one. I hope you get to do what you want to do. I think I heard on television that the weather is going to be good today and that isn't bad news. So....go have a cup of hot coffee or cocoa or tea...something hot and tasty. There is nothing good in this house so I can't share news of what is good and tasty. Strange how all the 'good stuff' never hangs around here. A trip to the store will cure that problem but then it wont stay...smile. I hope you find things to do, places to go and friends to share time with. Have yourself a day you will remember with smiles. Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and catch up when you have a little time.

Wednesday afternoon

It wants to rain, the tarmac looks wet. It is quiet around here. Was quiet upstairs today, did a bit of the puzzle and found a piece or two. It is a tough one..but aren't they all???? yes!!!! All is quiet. The worker cars are under my window and have not left all day. The day shift must feel like it is forever for the work day to end. Several of the window shades are pulled down today, hope the folks are okay. They have a full house over there. I am going off to my easy chair, turn on the tv for a bit and see what is on. I want my shoes off. I think I will fix a cup of hot coffee and sip. I hope you are having a good day all day doing what you want to do. Catch up when you have time. Love you more every day. Give Jo a hug and get one back.

Now it's Wednesday Morning!!!

My little sign says so and I have one eye open to agree; cars coming in slowly and it is amazing how quiet the car motors are early in the morning, hard to believe they can be so quiet. It is pitch black out there and no lights on in the hospital wing. It is almost six thirty a.m. and really t o early to be awake and up and moving..but..the coffee pot needs to be one, the cup needs filling and the eyes need to open....I am up...I am not awake..smile. I am going off to fill my coffee cup. I am going to sit awhile and watch some news. I am in no hurry to start my day and a little tiny snooze in the chair never hurt.... I hope your day is going to be a good one. I hope you do all you want to do and enjoy it. Off I go...Coffee....coffee... I'll be back ....

Tuesday Afternoon

Hello. Just stopping bye to say hello to you and Jo. I am in...confined with a head cold which isn't really all that bad but it sounds like it so I have to stay away from the crowd...smile. I have been pouring over some magazines and that has been fun. I am now having some hot tea and a look out the window at the rain on the pavement. It hasn't been pouring but sort of a misty rain. I am having a cup of hot tea, the last of the cookies..um...where did they go? smile!!! isn't that feed a cold and starve a fever??? ha.ha. Just want to touch base. I love you two. Hope you are having a great day and doing what you want to do. Stay away from the germs....No..I did not include any, they are just to evasive for that. I am off to have my tea. TV is on. Rain on the macadam. A new soldier blue truck in front of my window...bet the price was right...smile. Off I go. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Love you. bye for now.

Tuesday Morning

Good Morning. Pitch black out my window, a left over puddle or two on the tarmac so it may have rained a bit in the night...if it did I didn't hear it..smile. It is quiet. Night lights on the roof top and several bulbs are out but it does not effect the string of lights. No cars parked in front of my window this morning, must be the turn of the other side of the road but it is to dark to see. I am not awake...can't you tell??? ha...ha. I am of for a coffee refill, feet up, news on and maybe another small snooze before it is time to get up and get going for the day. I hope you and Jo have a wonderful day all day doing what you want to do. I am off for a coffee refill, feet up, news on......and wake up. love you more every day. Catch up when you have time.

A good night!!

Just a note to say hello and goodnight. I am enjoying quiet, don't feel too bad as the cold seems to be fading away and I like that. Had company which was good. Had hot soup which was even better. Sure hope this cold bug doesn't continue its rounds....not a fun one. I have nothing good in this house...ha.ha. nothing sweet that is.....oh well, I will take care of that next shopping trip. I am getting ready to close down, going to read awhile and call it a day early. I hope you and Jo have a good night, sleep tight, and catch up tomorrow. Love you both Give Jo a hug and get one back. Sweet dreams when you get there.

Monday Evening

Hello. How are you doing? I am better. Had the door open for a few minutes to air the place out. Had company for a bit and that was nice. Had my dinner and that was even better. Had a little jello for desert. It is quiet around here. I am thinking of you and hope you are good. I hope you don't catch this bug as it is not a nice one. I am going to make some hot tea. I am going to watch tv. I am going to pray for a cure so I can get outside...I want out...out..out. I say...smile, Sleep sweet. Love you,more every day.

Monday Afternoon

The weather outside is frightful, the rain is not delightful, the worker cars are under my window, the little bird is on the roof top and there are several brand new cars on the lot, two in front of my window...wow cars...expensive....creme seems to be the choice although there are grey and a blue one out there. It wants to rain. It is a rain sky and there is no wind at all, a tiny lift to a tree to on one tree, the others are all still. I just returned from lunch and puzzling. Head is a bit stuffy so I didn't stay long. I don't want to pass the germs on for one thing. It is quiet, silent around here, no voices, no noise, silence. I am going to go over to my easy chair, turn on the television and see what is on. I wont be going anywhere today as the throat is a bit sore, not enough to worry about but if I don't take care of it I might get more and I wouldn't like that at all. So, I will love you and leave you. Go, have yourself a good rest of today and do something you have been wanting to do,,,,or not...resting is good...the rain is coming down and I am wondering if it is going to rain hard...I hope so....I'd love to see a good storm to clear the air. Off I go, feet up, puzzle on hand, a book to pick up and read some more and quiet....not all bad. Be good, be kind, be YOU. I will be back. Hugs to all.

Monday Morning

Good morning. Pitch black out my window, nothing moving at the minute but I know that cars will be coming in with the day workers and a new day begins. My coffee is hot and delicious and all is quiet. I am awake, well that is debatable. I have a way to go as I have just started to sip my hot coffee...aah!!! A new day, a Monday, the start of a new week; um....wonder what is in store for us......something good I hope. That first cup emptied in a hurry; off I go for a refill. The worker cars are coming in slowly; each has its own place to park. No lights on inside the hospital wing. Well that changed in a hurry as lights are now on in two of the rooms. Folks waking up. My coffee is hot and delicious. I am always reminded of Pa, and I smile. How thankful I am for warm and happy memories. I am going to wish you a happy day; one filled with love and laughter. I am going to refill my coffee cup, sit in my easy chair, feet up on the hassock, news on and sit awhile. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do as well as have to do..smile. Don't forget one good deed, maybe two if you feel ambitious. The start of a new week, make it a good one. Off I go, coffee...coffee....

Still Sunday Morning

I am back. Quiet around here Been listening to news, or not...half asleep in my chair, lazy morning, not anxious to get up and get going....lazy....worker cars care under my window, three white, one black and a grey fit the window area but there is more cars parked further down. It is quiet. It is still. It is hazy looking like it wants to rain some more. The lady on tv is saying there was a bit of snow in the pass; more rain due so it is going to be a wet one today. They are saying winter weather. Chains required ....I wasn't planning on going that way anyway. smile. I am waking up again; fell asleep in my chair. Got up to early thinking I was ready for a new day but found out I was not. smile. I am going out to the kitchen and see if there is anything good out there to go with some coffee. A snooze woke up the hunger bug. smile. I am awake....ha.ha. now you tell one. I love you. Give Jo a hug and get one back. A horrible picture on TV about a big accident on the highway back east. Off I go...I'll be back...love you more every day.

It is Sunday morning!!!

Pitch black out the window; night lights on the roof top across the way, worker cars parked over on my side this morning but it is dark and they cannot be seen. I cannot see the trees this morning and the sky is dark, all is quiet, no noise at all, even the worker cars have not shown up yet. It is early. It is to early for anyone to be up and about. I have finished one cup of coffee and have an empty cup so you know where I am going. I will fill my cup, turn on the television and find out what is going on this Sunday morning. I will give you a little time for wake up but I will be back....later....I am going to hunker down in my easy chair and find out what is going on in the world this morning. I hope your Sunday is peaceful. I hope you find places to go and things to do that please you. I hope you take a friend or two along and find reasons to smile today. Be good, be kind, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Now It's Friday Afternoon

Hello. I am just back from breakfast out with daughter Christine. For one who thought hunger pangs were off somewhere else didn't sit at my table as there was food to eat and share and still have left overs. I had a foot doctor appointment this morning so anything is a good excuse for a breakfast out..smile. I did fine, no major work and all seems to be okay. Now if I can stay away for a long time then I will have nothing to complain about. I am a walker by nature so want to keep the legs moving and so far so good..smile. Now if I could find some doctor who can keep the mind going for a long time then I will be in good stead. The brain changes daily as you age and I am not sure I will be able to keep up with it, but...I sure will try. Breakfast out with Christine is always fun and good. There is always something delicious to devour and no crumbs left. The day itself is bright and beautiful, quiet. I am back at the apartment, have no special plans but will look around here and see what needs doing. I am sure there is something that needs attention. I am off to check the laundry basket; clean up some of the kitchen counter of clean dishes to be put away. Why I didn't do it as I went along is anyone's guess...ha.ha. lazy..a good word.... So...have yourself a good rest of today doing what you want to do. I will be back later....off I go. for now....hugs to all.

Thursday evening

Hello. It is rainy, cold, miserable out there today, the start of a new year...well better it starts and ends quickly so we can have some nice weather for awhile. It is quiet today, some folks gone off for family visits, some just hunkered down and don't want to move. I have stayed in today and Pat stopped by to check on me and make sure I had plenty to eat. With this gird of wrinkles I have around my waist she doesn't have to worry...smile. It has been quiet most of the day as most have stayed in their rooms and hunkered down with tv and quiet. Erin has had a bug so I am hoping it doesn't spread. We are having rain and cold. I hope you and Jo have some nice weather and making good use of it. I hope you got to celebrate in style and had some fun. A New Year...hard to believe they come and go so fast. Come to think of it, I have been around a long..long...long....time..smile. So, back to television. It is on and I am not really watching it as I have a book in hand...I try to do both but you know that is impossible and one has to wait on the other for attention. So....off I go, feet up, tv on...and the shades pulled so the angry storm can stay outside. I love you both. I hope your day was a good one. Catch up when you have time. love you. bye for now.

It is still Thursday morning

Good morning. The sky is a very light blue this morning. The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze and there is a bird on the roof top overlooking the workers coming in for the day. The worker cars are parked under my window this morning. There is a light grey, two black, one tan and two red that fill the spaces under my widow. All face in but one...yeah..always one..ha.ha. It is still...silence...no breeze at all as nothing is moving. I did a double take a few minutes ago as I thought the little tree across the tarmac had blossoms but it is the way the outside lights follow the roof top behind it. All is silent. The worker cars are facing my window this morning, all but one who backed in. A new deep red shade with black trim is out there this morning and a bright silver one. I am going to love you and leave you as I have no new news. I am going to refill my coffee cup, hunker in my chair for awhile and listen to the news. The young lady is talking about snow.....probably up in the mountains as we only have wet tarmac at the moment. Have yourself a good day, a fun day, a day that you will remember with smiles. Lunch out in your favorite restaurant isn't hard to take especially when you can order what you like....a cheeseburger always tastes good to me....but so does every thing else....girlish figures are so easy to come by. So have yourself a good day all day doing what you like to do....that is not always easy....but....you can try...smile. Go.....l have some fun too. Hugs to all.

Thursday morning

Good morning. Night light still on; workers leaving after a night shift and the new crew is coming in. Pitch black out there right now. I am awake...well I am working on it...smile. Hope you and Jo have a good day all day doing what you want to do. I am off to fill my coffee cup, feet up, news on and wake up. Love you more every day. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Coffee, coffee...aah!!! I will be back. Love you...

Wednesday, January 1, 2020

Wednesday night

Getting ready to turn in early as I have a runny nose; guess I picked up the cold germ floating around. I just wanted to say goodnight; sleep sweet and catch up when you have time. I love you and Jo more every day. Want you to be healthy, wealthy and wise...then you can adopt me..ha.ha. I love you, I do. Give Jo a hug and get one back I am off to read awhile and hope this cold germ goes far away....Erin has had it all week. um...wonder if she passed the germ although I didn't see much of her...probably left them in a chair that I sat in over there...ha.ha. any excuse will do. I love you both. I hope your New Year greeting was all you wanted it to be. We were quiet....that isn't all bad...ha.ha. Off I go...box of kleenex at the ready...no cough syrup but the 'bottle' is filled with fancy cough medicine..ha.ha. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Love you...sweet dreams.

Happy New Year!!

Sleep sweet....dream good dreams for the new year ....and make sure you have a good day when you wake up and start off in the morning. I am off to read awhile. Brain doesn't want to work tonight....well only a little, getting old...wonder how come..ha.ha. Give Jo a hug and get one back. Love you more every day.

Now It Is Wednesday Morning!!!

Happy New Year....Parade on?? A good one....take time to turn it on and enjoy. The sky is a light blue this morning. The trees are still and the little bird is on the roof top watching the workers come and go. The worker cars are under my window this morning and there are two new grey ones, the rest all dark in shades of either a dark blue or black. The trees are still. The sky is a light blue with some white clouds shining in the sunshine. It is early. It is quiet. It is a new day. Our plans have changed as granddaughter Erin has come down with a nasty flu. Poor Erin, just what she does not need or want. I gather there is quite a bit of flu around , hopefully it wont come this way today but once in the air it spreads and there is no stopping it. Wow, I am looking at a few rain drops starting to fall....strange as the sky is clear and bright with the exception of a small cloud or two that must be filled and ready to spill...there is always one...ha.ha. I have been watching the parade and they have done such a spectacular job of the floats. I always intended to go there for a visit and see the parade but so far I haven't managed to save the money for the trip. It would be costly. But..it would be worth it...maybe some year yet before I get to ancient..ha..ha. well, I am working my way toward that goal...ancient is good...beats the alternative..ha.ha. So, I am being smart...better take myself off and have myself a cup of hot coffee and watch tv for awhile longer. It will soon be time to go up for lunch and I could do with something tasty...wonder what they are having up there today. I hope your holiday is bright, beautiful and filled with fun and good friends to share it with. I hope you have a feast to enjoy when the time comes to stop and rest from all the festivities. Go..be good...be you...and have yourself a day to remember...one filled with all of life's blessings. Be YOU and catch up soon. Hugs to all.
