It is Tuesday today...

Words from the castle this morning....well, I try to find something new and different to whet your appetite....I know, you would rather have a big fat jelly doughnut and a hot drink....my cup is empty and my toast gone....some things never last.

It looks calm, grey skies, no trees on the move, silence, stillness and the worker cars are parked on my side of the road this morning.  Blinds down in the hospital wing, one bird on the roof top and a new day begins.   I am going off with daughter Patricia to card shop today and that is always fun.    I remember going card shopping with a friend and we would stand reading funny cards to each other laughing out loud.  It didn't take long to attract some others to laugh along with us.  If you have not been card shopping, think about it, it is always fun and it makes the recipient smile all day.

I had a good day yesterday, a quiet day doing  a lot of nothing special..lazing about.  Lazy days are good for the soul, gives us a bit of stretch room...smile.

I hope your day is 'good' all day and you enjoy each second as it comes your way.   You have smiles to share, hugs too, and hopefully a drop in or two...company is always fun and welcome....you can drop in my doorway, but check to make sure I am back from card shopping...smile!!

I am off for a refill, some news, then shoes on, out the door and card shop, one of my favorite things to do.   Now if I can keep my thinking cap straight I'll be ahead of myself and that isn't always easy to do...old age...um....well it beats the alternative so it is said....

So.....make your day one to remember;   share smiles and hugs....and have yourself 'the time of your life'  be bright, be cherry, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A September Monday

Good Morning.   It is Monday morning, pitch black out my window, one car drove in to park for the day and the worker is not in  a hurry to move...just laid on the horn and I bet that woke her up..smile.

I am off to make my coffee, cannot make any sense until I have my first sip...don't go back to sleep, I'll be right back!!!

Coffee!!!!! Aah!!!!!!  A new week begins and I am wondering what is in store for us.   Not one window shade up in the hospital wing;  not a bit of a breeze this morning and not a light on over there in the hospital wing.   I think I've said those words a dozen or more times...but those are the words that come to mind as I look out the big window and see the shapes of the tree leaves, the blue of the sky that has not turned bright yet and quiet, stillness, another new day.  Yes, a new Monday, beginnings, new week, new things to do and places to go after we wake up and discover there are plans to be filled...plans????what plans??? um....have to get busy and make some.   Monday...all day....

So, I hope you wake up to a bright and beautiful day filled with love and laughter.  I hope you get the planned chores finished and you open your door and go outside to fresh air and happy plans for today.  Take a friend to breakfast.  Take a walk down a lovely pathway and smell the flowers.   Look up and see if there is a bird on your rooftop...there is one across on the hospital rooftop.  A quiet time of day;  peaceful, restful....um....think I'll go back for a little more down time, it really is much to early to be up and about.   A coffee refill, my easy chair, tv for news....um....yes, a good morning...join me!!
Hugs to all.

Sunday, Sunday....la, la,

Good Morning!!!!

Hey, it is Sunday all over again...a new one, blinds not open, little after five a.m. and that is to early to do or say much of anything.   I am up....I am not really awake but I am working on it.

I have places to go and things to do today so I am not going to blog for long...first, I am not really awake, my coffee cup is cold and I am in a rush to get dressed and out the door....I am going off with my girls...smile!!!

So, with little or nothing to say this morning, I will promise to be back later and let you in on all the festivities of the day...if there are any....well, lunch out will take place either inside or out...we will find out before the morning is over....right now I am not awake, have to go and get ready and out the door and then I'll come back with some words for you....hopefully something to make you smile.

So...go...have yourself a day to remember doing something you really want to do and love to do.    Be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!!!  I'll be back...Hugs.

Saturday All Day!!!

My first cup is gone....my cup is empty....off for a refill.....the worker cars are all parked, under my window, all spaced evenly and one a little closer than they should be as they will have to open the car door slowly;  a bit close this morning.  The sky is a lovely soft blue, trees are still, blinds still down in the hospital windows and quiet prevails....silence right now.  It has to be all of five a.m. and one bird is sitting on the roof top across the way.  The night light has been shut off, no movement in the trees, Saturday...a new day...and, I am still waiting for a bird or two to visit the little bird houses across the way, four of them all lined up and one bird is on the roof top much to big to fit into one of them.  Someone meant well but they have to think pigeon size.

It is Saturday morning, a new day, a day to fill with all manner of choices and I haven't opened my eyes long enough to think of what mischief I can get into today...there must be something I can do....um......

My coffee cup is empty;   the t.v. is not on as yet;   I didn't buy any doughnuts and there is nothing 'good in this house' ...aha..you are beginning to know my song...smile.    So....I wish you a good day all day doing what you love to do best.   Stop by the church of your choice a light a candle for a departed soul who is waiting at heaven's gate to be welcomed in;   your day will come when a few of those prayers will be stored for you.   So.....all together now:  "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"   So.....you are in good stead....go....have yourself a day to remember filled with love and laughter.  Wear a halo today!!!  Sure,you can, there is one to fit you!!! 

Good Morning..It is Friday morning!!

Good Friday morning.  The sky is pale blue, the trees are still and the Fall colors are glowing early this morning.  The blinds are down in the hospital wing and the night workers are heading for their cars and home to bed.  A new Friday morning, to early to tell what kind of a day we are in for.  Right now the sky is pale blue, trees are still, and a new Friday begins.    I have grocery shopping to do;  I have good treats to buy and I am thinking of buying some real good hamburger for my dinner tonight.  Of course, if someone should invite me out,I might save it for another day.   One invitation and my shoes are on..smile.  Oh, my little bird is on the roof top watching the worker's cars come in and park for the day. 

I have no new news;  quiet around here, no one into mischief and I'd say all on their best behavior...smile.  So...it is Friday all day and I am going shopping for groceries and I think it is time for one of those big fat jelly doughnuts or a cruller, it has been some time since I invested in one of those....no calories..of course....but then I do stretch the facts now and then....but then I don't have to watch my girlish figure anymore....ha, ha,  it has been a long time since I even gave that a thought...

So, off for a refill, a bit of news, let time catch up with me and I'll be off, out the door and shopping...a favorite past time as I walk the grocery shop aisles and get to choose the foods I like....maybe a little hamburger and a slice or two of cheese to go on it;  pickle and onion...of course.   Is it supper time yet?   Breakfast!!!! There is nothing in this house....you have heard that before...smile!!!

Have yourself a good day, all day, it may rain, or not...we will take the weather in stride....I think it is sprinkling now.  The Fall colors are gorgeous this morning as the colors shine even without sunshine.   As for me...off for a refill, a bit of news, and a new Friday begins.   I hope each of you has a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best....your choice!!

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Mid Week!!!

I like to think of it as rebuilding time when you take the time to rebuild, renew, recall the good things in your life and how lucky to have so many ....bet you ran out of fingers to count them on....smile!!! 

Time Out!!!  Thank YOU!!!! Each one for caring, sharing and being a caring family member and friends who make my world go around and around. 

It is hump day, ... Wednesday, all day, and it is dark out my window right now, don't think I have hit the five a.m. mark yet...worker cars are parked on my side this morning.  The blinds are down in the hospital wing and the sky is soft blue as it waits for the sun to come up.  The trees are still this morning.  One bird on the roof top across the way, the night light still on, not a bit of movement right this minute but that will soon change.  A new day begins.

I am in good shape as my laundry is caught up;  the dusting done, and, one of the ladies shared her book which she thought I would enjoy reading.  I might put my rocker out on the porch and do that a little later on, but only if I do not get an offer to go off for awhile.   Junking appeals to my fancy nature, not that I need any more junk in this small apartment, but...who can resist...not me!!!

So, with little to say this morning, I wish you a good day, all day, doing what YOU love to do best.  Make someone, including yourself, happy by opening your mind, your heart and your purse...ha,ha...go..buy yourself a present today, you deserve one.

Hugs to all.

Monday All Day!!!

Monday, Monday...la, la, la.....there is a song about it but I don't know all the lyrics, lucky you, or I'd be singing to you right now..smile!!!

The sky is a light baby blue with a mist of cloud in it.  The trees are still.  The hospital shades are down, cars parked under my window this morning and all is quiet around here.   It is early.   Silence is fleeting so I enjoy this time of the morning.  The little bird is on the roof top across the way and my coffee cup is empty....that will never do...be right back.

AAH!!!! Coffee!!!!  Coffee!!!  Hot and tasty and a "waker upper"...one sip and 'aah'!!!!

A new week begins and I wonder what is in store for us.  We have a beautiful blue sky with soft white clouds from one window and my door is open to another view which is a huge dark cloud with a bit of pink thrown in for good measure;  the look of a big bird and not a bit of a breeze, nothing moving.  I have mentioned the bush here in the back of the apartment.  The leaves are beautiful, brilliant, the colors of Fall , so lovely, bright and the colors of magic.  I do get to 'hear' silence early in the morning and it is soft and peaceful.   I never took time to 'listen' to silence but I find that the older I get the more I appreciate it.  So a new day begins and I have to decide how to fill the hours...a bit of puzzling;  a dusting wouldn't hurt and maybe a walk out a bit later.   I have much to be thankful for, and a walk out doesn't hurt at all...smile.

I wish you a good morning...a good day....a fun day after the chores are done.  I hope you find things to do that make you smile.   Hugs are necessary....kind words, a smile as only you can give....so...practice, practice, practice....ha..ha....well practice makes perfect I'm told.   Go....have yourself a day to remember!!!  Hugs to all.
