Sunday Afternoon

Good Afternoon, a tiny squirrel is running across the street, and, one bird, with a red like coat, is sitting on the roof top on the hospital wing.   It is cloudy in our skies today, but not much of interest, mostly a bank of white clouds, a 'patch' of blue and some grey clouds that are floating shapes, and a few very bright blue tiny wispy clouds in a sea of grey.   It is quiet.   It is still.   It is Fall as the bush outside my window attests to with its branches of russet shades,leaves of gold, a bit of green yet to turn and the beauty is awesome.   How lucky we are to have such beauty in our lives when the season changes...Fall is really beautiful.

It is Sunday all day  and I had a great start with breakfast out with my girls...nothing pleases me more and I do not have the words to tell them how much they mean to me.  I've used thousands of them over and over and there is never enough words to wrap them in the love I feel.   A wonderful way to start a Sunday morning...breakfast out....hot coffee.....and a choice from the menu of what you like and enjoy.   Tales to tell and listen to;   smiles, giggles and grins, hot tasty food served.   A great way to start a Sunday morning.

I came back and joined the ladies up in the dining room;  did a bit of puzzling; then came down to quiet.  It isn't all bad but...the proverbial but...it does get lonely and the television gets a workout...I thought of going for a walk, but did not...lazy....at this age hunkering down in an easy chair is so much easier to do....

So Sunday is a day of rest and resting I really know how to do....smile....I am nearing dinner time and am going out to my kitchen, and find some soup to heat up....chicken noodle is good;   chicken vegetable is better;   French onion ...nah.....um, wonder if I have any crackers....I'll have to go find out.   Enjoy your repast....make it a good one...share it if you can as that makes it all the more fun. 

I hope your Sunday has been a good one.  I hope you found things to do and places to go and folks to go along too....be good....be happy....smile...and don't forget to share a hug or two....I'll take a verbal one any time.

Go....be YOU...have the rest of the day to yourself.   Hugs to all.

It is To Saturday....All day!!!

 Good Morning.   A good way to start off and say Good Morning;   the sky is a beautiful soft blue, the trees are still, the bird is on the roof top, cars are parked and the blinds still drawn in the hospital wing...a new day...a Saturday all day, and it is quiet around here inside and out.  Good Morning!!!

We are never to busy to salute our flag.  It is such an awesome sight, really stands out and reminds us who we are.

Daughter Patricia has such beautiful hands,  long fingers, lender, beautiful and is an excellent driver.   We were off to yard sales yesterday, fun, and even found a treasure or two.

This is what one looks like when the brain begins to go off on its own path...I am getting that look more every day...smile!!!

Good Morning.  It is Saturday.   I am looking out my window and see the pavement is still wet, so we must have had some rain in the night and I did not hear it, but then I had some sleeping to do as I had a great day, a long day, a yard sale day and it was fun to go hunting for treasures.  I found a couple and have a new lazy Susan on my table.  I also have a new candy dish that is empty, but not for long..ha.ha....the big job is making a decision as go what to put into it....it really doesn't matter as no matter what goes into the dish disappears before you can admire the contents of the dish..smile.

So we have a new Saturday, grey skies, probably a little rain earlier  but  clear now.  The bird houses look cute over in  the window of the patient across the way, four of them, one a bright red, a long one and two short house like ones.  The birds should be happy, wonder if they put any seeds in them...bet not.  silence prevails.   A new cream colored car is out in the lot this morning.  It has a vanilla cast to it, looks new, shiny, bright and beautiful.  Next to it is an all black coupe with a huge window with something hanging from its window but it is to dark to see.  It is Saturday, the folks sleeping in, don't have to get up and rush about.  

So that is the news this morning...not much ...just a good morning, hope your day is wonderful, just like you...fill your hours with love and laughter and take a few minutes to stop by  your church and say a prayer for the 'departed souls' and a few for those of us who seem to lead the parade...smile.  Be a good neighbor, a best friend, a lover, a wonder who shares love and laughter today.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Day!!

A wise woman with beautiful words;  and she is right, it starts with a smile!!

It is dark outside my window this morning, but then it is every morning.  No breeze this morning and it is early so cannot see if the little birds are on the roof top.  I have one eye open...thinking about opening the other but the smell of fresh coffee is beginning to permeate the apartment and that is getting my attention...I want my coffee and I want it now...smile!!!  Do not go back to sleep...I'll be right back.

"AAH!!!"  Coffee!!  Coffee!!   I am smiling!!!  I am sipping!!!  Delicious even with a bit of heat on the tongue.   There is 'nothing good in this house', yep, truth hurts but there really is not a crumb to be had.  It is time to shop. 

It is Friday, laundry to do, a bit of dusting wouldn't hurt and a bit of grocery shopping is a must.  The cupboards are bare...that is to say there is nothing 'good' in this house....when there is, it doesn't last long!!!!

So you have heard all of my words a dozen times or more so I'll let you off easy this morning.  I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.  I wish you good health, a bit of wealth, a bit of sharing and caring and a hug thrown in the mix.   You know the drill.....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

It Is Thursday All Day!!

A sunshine morning.   Folks out in their 'go' cart, some walking their dog in the sunshine and the colors are beautiful and the air warm.  It is a beautiful morning.  I have a couple of trees, well rather high bushes, and the leaves are turning that burnish color, almost a brown but more reddish coloring and the sun picks up the  color and it is Fall in all its glory.   With all of the buildings and the parked cars there is more metal than floral, but the floral that is there is beautiful and the bushes which are now small trees, are a sight to see, a beauty all its own.  Fall has a lot to offer and all we have to do is relax and enjoy it as we gaze out our windows. 

I have been up since five a.m., don't have to be, just a bad habit..smile.   I am waiting to go upstairs for lunch and hopefully a little puzzling afterwards.   I have no outside plans today and a rest day isn't all bad.  I may go for a walk to the corner and back after lunch as it is really very beautiful outside this morning.  All of the worker cars are parked on my side this morning and there are a couple of 'silver' ones today, new I'd say and very beautiful.  There is a new white four door out there this morning....a real beauty, bet it gives a nice ride. 

On television there has been the program about pawning stuff and people have been on with a lot of things to pawn and have no problem asking a high price for their treasure.  The two men, on the show, are experts and they know the worth of 'stuff' and are not bashful about putting what they think is a right price.  No one seems to complain.   I get a laugh out of the way they toss the amount out;  I haven't anything to pawn and what I do have is probably not worth very much...well in beauty and love of what I do have, I have nothing to complain about. 

I am off for lunch time...I am hungry.  I may stay up for awhile a do a bit of puzzling with the ladies.   I think the puzzle we were working on is finished but I have not seen the finished product yet.  They do leave it up for us to get a peek at it.  I don't know what the scene is next but I am sure someone chose one that is not going to be easy and that is the way we like it.  A challenge!!!  We all need a challenge to keep the mind busy and the fun going...finding the illusive piece...aah....fun....and sometimes a bit challenging.  I am off for some food and fun.  Have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.  Be sure you are a friend today;  be a good one;   a loving one.  be YOU!!! Hug to all.

Good Hump Day!!

Good Morning.   The sky is clear baby blue, the trees are still, the blinds down it the hospital wing, my coffee cup is half full and a new day begins....wonder what is in store for us????   Something good I hope...a little work, a little play, a visitor or two, a ride out, a trip to the store...so many choices....

It is quiet, two birds on the roof top across the way, not a bit of movement, no breeze in the trees and a couple of blinds have opened in the windows of the hospital wing, so someone is waking up and getting up for their new day.

The cars are parked under my window but the inside to dark for me to tell you what color the upholstery is, just looks black from here....but, the inside of the cars must have new upholstery as the outside shines with newness.  All cars in and parked but one open space.   Time to wake up and start a brand new day!!!

My coffee cup is empty so I am off for a refill, will blog a bit and try and think of some mischief to get into this Wednesday...all day...looks bright and beautiful and calm out there.  The workers are parking and walking in to start their new day.  I have four little bird houses, I think that must be what they are, hanging in front of a window across in the hospital wing.  Someone wants to encourage a visit from a bird or two.  Speaking of visitors, daughter Christine is due over this morning to do a bit of bookkeeping...have to keep my affairs in order....take about a second..ha.ha!!!

So....I am off for a coffee cup refill, sit in my favorite chair and put my feet up on the hassock as I watch some news on the television.   The sunshine on the tall trees is really beautiful, shades of bronze shine in the sunlight. 

Be good, be healthy, be wise and wealthy if you can..then adopt me...ha.ha.   I am off for a refill, a bit of news, feet up....aah!!!!  Go....have yourself a good day, all day, one you want to remember!!!  Love to all.

A New Day!!

I have a little bird, in fact, two of them but I cannot swear to their color as they sit on the rooftop across the way from me.   I would name them but my memory banks are getting stranger than strange and old age is catching up with me.   Hard to admit to the changes but it happens to the best of us and I, for one, cannot complain as I am still able to function...ha.ha...depends on who you talk with...ha.ha.   The cars are parked on 'my' side of the driveway this morning.  The sky is a pale baby blue and the trees are not moving so there is no morning breeze.  The blinds are down in the hospital wing and quiet prevails.

A new day.   I am off on a ride this morning and am not sure I want to go...the mind is fuzzy but then it is early and maybe a cup of coffee with clear the cobwebs away.  I am ambivalent, isn't that a nice word, but not sure, if and when the head will clear and I will make some sense for my new day.   Heading into the old age phase is one thing, getting there is scary as the thinking mode changes second to second.   So be patient with me, know I will tell you all about my day out.

Off to find my shoes,  have a sweater ready as it is beginning to show Fall colors and the change in the air.  It is a lovely time of year.   Have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you want to do and like to do..smile....I know there has to be some work thrown in the  pile but you will make short 'work' of it...smile.

Be good, be kind, be gentle...especially with family and friends.   Treat them well and teach them well and the mix is sure to make your day a good one.  Hugs to all.

Fall....How beautiful!!!

It is that time of year....time to choose a great big pumpkin, jack-o-lantern time....don't forget to carve a smiley face.

or a bird feeder....great, clever idea....why didn't I think of that!!

Good morning.  It is Sunday morning and the sun is shining and the trees are colorful, so beautiful in the morning sunlight.   No breeze, nothing moving and hardly any cars parked out in front of my window this morning.  Some one has a nice brand new light grey car and it is driving slowly out of the driveway....carefully...smile...no dents so far and hopefully not destined for the future.

I am being lazy this morning.  I don't have to be any where until lunch time.   I have no plans so I can take my shoes off and do a lot of nothing....although there are things to do and a book to finish and I am sure if I look around I might make friends with a dust mite or two.  It is Sunday...a day of rest....

So.....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....make or take time out today to do just what YOU want to do.  Be a friend, generous to a fault and make someone you love, or even like, feel that hug like you really mean it.    Be a lover....of family and friends....maybe take on a stranger who has not had a hug in a very long time.   Be YOU, be good and be kind....you really don't know how to be anything else...smile!!!

AND celebrate FALL as it is a very lovely time of year.    Where is your camera?  WEll,   find it.....take if for a walk and find some beauty to capture...looking out my window, I can see some really beautiful colorful trees dressed in their Fall colors and glowing in the sunlight.   GO!!!! Take a walk out and snap, snap, snap.

Have yourself a day to remember.   Hugs to all.
