It Is Saturday...all day

Good morning.   Looking out my window I see a wet pavement so we must have had a few rain drops in the night.   I didn't hear anything!!  It is a light grey sky out there this morning;  quiet; not a leaf stirring, nothing moving and not one light on in the hospital wing, unusual for this time of the morning....seven fourteen a.m. according to my little calendar square which tells me the day, time and date, keeps me aware...well something has to, the brain is slowly going its own way....and it isn't letting me in on all the news...smile.

I had a day off with the ladies yesterday, a nice ride to the casino and the very first of a fire drill.  Not sure who set the alarm but we were outside for about a half hour then led back in.  We had been just seated in the dining area, about to choose our food, not good timing when you are hungry...smile!!

I got to play my keno for some time before the machine gobbled up my money. It was fun, no wins, but close..ha..ha.  like in horseshoes!!  One of our ladies had a small win so we were happy for her. 

I enjoy the ride up and back.   The sun was shining, a beautiful day, not a lot of traffic and being out and about is always a good time.   The best part of going off is coming back home and taking the shoes off..smile.

So today is Saturday all day.   I have no special plans ...yet....smile....I haven't had a chance to catch up with the girls to find out what they plot and plan for the day.   I hope you have a fun day doing what you like to do best.    Get into the swing of things and enjoy.   I am off for a refill.....hot coffee...aah!!!!   Be good, be kind, be gentle and spread a little love and joy around today....be a sweet harbinger of Spring!!!   Hugs to all.

Friday Morning !!

I have a date with the ladies to go to the casino this morning, breakfast out, find a lucky machine which, by the way, they do not have in any size casino, and. . . live in high hope and die in despair;  but the fun is in the trying and once in a blue moon you come home with at least some of your own money....but not often...ha,ha.....

but....breakfast out with the ladies is always fun.   The drive is not too long and it is a change for the day;  a bit of fun and a lot of laughter, and someone else does the cooking...smile!!

Right now there is no light in our skies.  it is too early in the morning for that;  but...it will change and soon folks will be up and making noises.    Friday morning;  a good day to make noises!!

So....be good, be kind, have fun to day and make those you like and love happy to see you walk in the door.   Don't forget to stop for a "goodie" or two as the coffee pot will be on and the cup waiting for you to be filled.    Relax, enjoy and count your blessings.

As for me....my shoes are on....I'm out the door.......later...gater......love and luck my friends, may your day be bright and beautiful just like YOU.....SMILE....who knows you could be on candid camera.....smile!!!! Hugs to all.

An April Thursday

 "If I were a rich man, la, la, la, la...la...I'd send you a bouquet to brighten your day but then you may be one of the lucky ones with a garden full of lovely flowers to pick and choose for your bouquet today.   Flowers have a way of bringing on smiles, sweet words and thankful hugs.    Get busy and gift someone today!!

A clever book mark but it takes up space.  That old piece of paper does a good job. 

Good morning.  I am half awake....coffee...coffee...right here by my elbow...I'm sipping as I write and it is amazing how the eyes respond;   as too the rest of the mind and body...well that takes a little more time.

It is the usual pitch black out in the parking lot, nothing moving, no lights on over in the hospital wing, not a moving car this morning but it is early....folks are not up and ready for a new work day.   Come to think of it...what am I doing up?   I have nothing new and different to talk about;  have nothing old and useful to remind you of.....so I am going for a refill, into my easy chair, turn on the TV and hunker down for a bit more 'down time' and then , maybe, just maybe, I'll stir and participate in a new day....but now I'm not in the mood....smile....so off I go for my refill, easy chair, TV and perfect the art of laziness.   You can join me....sit, feet up, tv on, zzzzzzzzzz.  Later gater....have yourself a good day, all day.   Hugs to all.

Mid Week!

Of course it is a favorite picture of one of my favorite places...up in Carson City, Nevada;  lots of memories when I look at this picture.   Good ones!!!  Aah, I am thankful for having some great memories of great times;  there is sometime about and old barn...smile!!!

and the frame was made from old barn wood.

So you have seen the daisies before...whats not to like....smile!!!

This little guy used to visit me in the early morning..  I think he liked my fence as much as I did.  There really is a lot of beauty in old fence posts.   I think there is a cute little mouse in the knot of the wood....see it?   smile!!!!

The peace and serenity of early morning.    Get up, open the blinds and look.....aah......

It is Wednesday morning, a little after five a.m.;  so I am an early riser...the fourth day of April, blinds not open as yet so cannot tell you what is on going in the outside;   hold on a second.....

The blinds are open now and it is pitch black outside my window;   the small light on the side of the building is lit, pavement looks a bit on the wet side;  um...wonder if we had a bit of rain in the night....didn't hear a thing, but then I never do.    A car just drove bye...looking for a space to park and chose a spot right across from  my window.    One of the hospital workers. 

I have read my little plastic sign that says: "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 thought for the day.

So it is that time of day...coffee.....aah!!!!  Cup is almost empty so off I go for a refill, hunker in my chair, turn on the TV and listen to news....hopefully some good words and pictures today....that would be nice!!!    I'll go for a refill and let you sleep in;  no rush;  no fuss;   just hope you wake up to a sunshine day, good caring and sharing this morning with those you like and love.    Be the one with a smile, a hug and a good word.....Hugs to all.

Good Morning

The start of a new day;   it is a little after six and I have been sitting here at the computer for quite awhile thinking...getting no where....looking out of the big picture widow on to the parking area and not all the workers are here yet.   The hospital wing is in complete darkness, unusual but it is still early a.m. but late for them.   Right now it is quiet...silence.....not a sound. 

I am wondering what today will bring.    I have no plans.    I am going to have an easy day, do a lot of nothing special and wait patiently for some things to develop.   Maybe I'll have some company....maybe I wont.   Maybe I will be invited out.  A trip to the grocery store would be good as I am getting low on a few items.  I can't imagine who eats all those cookies, you know those sandwich kind that I don't even like.   I am thinking of an old fashioned brownie....or maybe a cruller would be different and tasty.   I would ignore the calories as once the mind goes down that road the taste buds begin to dwindle.    What is that old saying...'you can't have your cake and eat it too'.....well, I for one, keep trying.

The cars are coming in slowly.  No lights on within the hospital wing and it is after six a.m. that seems a bit strange to me.    The outside light is on so I doubt there is an electricity problem, probably just early and everyone wants to keep it that way.  So..... I am hoping you have a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Be good....be kind...be gentle and loving....and your day will blossom like a new summer rose.    I am off for a refill, some TV news, and eventually I'll put my shoes on.  ..."ON" to a new day, let us have high hope for a good one.    Be good, be gentle, be kind, be YOU!!!  Hug to all.

Monday , , , all day!!

YOU are my Sunshine, my only sunshine ...  You make me happy....la, la, la, la....your turn!!

A favorite thought when you amaze yourself with the things that you do ...say....feel....and you have a new Monday to begin.

I hope you enjoyed your Easter and have flowers left to enjoy.
Good morning....yep...it is Monday all over again....how lucky we are.  It is early...six twenty seven by my little calendar clock and it is April Second......the sky is a beautiful blue, sort of a dusky shade and the trees are still;  the hospital wing is in darkness and the outside light to brighten the parking area is still on.  Quiet...deep quiet this morning, nothing is on the move at the moment but soon the workers will be coming in and a new day of a new week begins.  April 2nd . . . um....April showers..well not yet as it looks pretty clear in a soft blue sky.

We did have breakfast out yesterday and went to what used to be called "The Doll House" and basically it still is but changes have been made by new owners.   There is more space, more openness and not one complaints about the food or the service.  Easter Sunday brunch and there was tasty treats for all.   We agreed to go junking and had fun walking the aisles looking at other folks junk, most of what we already had and donated ..smile...but there is always some one little item to pick up and take home just because.....smile.  AND, we met a friend who was doing a bit of looking around so it was nice to get a hug and a good morning greeting.   I picked up a cute candy dish for my little hall table.  I have a bowl of candy out for friends to help themselves as they come and go.   I try to buy candy that is popular and liked but the trouble is that I like everything so nothing is safe as my girlish figure attests too.    There is something about unwrapping a caramel that makes one feel good......try it, see for yourself!!

So, a new week, a new Monday, time to start a week of good deeds, good words, good thoughts and don't forget a hug or two.    As for me, off for a refill, some news....feet up....no plans for today ...well there is always something that needs doing  and does not go away until it is done....laundry for one thing...what ever happened to  the thought of paper clothing that you could throw away...smile....wishful thinking!! 

Have yourself a g r e a t Monday doing what you love to do best.   Be good....be kind...be gentle....be YOU!!!   Hugs to all.

Easter Sunday

The profound, the lovely, the Easter lily and three wishes for a beautiful Easter Sunday....May your day be filled with love and laughter

The sky is grey, a patch of blue here and there as the clouds go drifting by my window.   It is early morning, quiet time around here, all the worker cars are parked and the shades are still drawn over in the hospital wing.  I hope the patients feel good today so they can celebrate Easter.   I have my shoes on and am waiting for my daughters as we are 'feasting' out this morning.   A breakfast buffet over at the Airport, always delicious, always crowded, always a 'must' place to go on a holiday or any time it moves you to want to 'stuff' yourself with some really good breakfast foods.   I have on my lovely lavender sweater, my dark purple slacks and my hair is combed so I am ready...smile!!!

So, take yourself out for a treat, or cook in if you prefer, but do enjoy an Easter breakfast.   I just hope you do not have to go out and hunt up the eggs...smile....well, you are not supposed to hide them all.

It is time, put your shoes on...a smile....arms at the ready for hugs to give and take...no candy until after you eat your breakfast.....ha.ha...bet you haven't heard that in awhile.   

Be bright and beautiful, good and kind, share YOU with those you love and like.  Be an Easter Bunny!!!!   Hugs to all.
