Good Wednesday morning!  Rain or Shine it is a beautiful day!  

This picture of Livvy, next door neighbor, loving a Giant Turtle brought back memories to me.  

Growing up, we had turtles in our backyard.  We would find them on the side of the road going to and from the 500 acre Ranch we had in South Texas.  We would number them with fingernail polish and be careful when mowing.  

Our granddaughters have raised these turtles from little ones in an aquarium.  

Wayne made their first home in a metal water trough with a spraying fountain.  

They are in a rubber stock tank home now as they have grown.  

God's creatures are all so different and amazing.  What pets did you have growing up?  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, happy midweek, full of smiles and

 happiness! A beautiful and sincere smile

 disarms anyone. A smile is a curve that

 straightens everything. When you have a

 gray day, add color with a big smile. Whoever

 wakes up with a smile, a good day awaits

 them. A smile costs less than electricity

 and gives more light. There are three things

 in life you should never lose: your smile, your

 joy, and your personality. A smile and joy are

 the best medicine there is, and they don't

 need a prescription. If you ever don't receive

 the smile you expect, be generous and give

 yours. May your day be beautiful, like your

 friendship. Big, warm hugs, Maria. Kisses.

Trust in your Faith to make this day the best day of your life! 

This beautiful Tuesday is for the Birds! 

And of course this peaceful day is for the Bees too!  

We can't forget the joyful feeling we get when we see a Parrot.  

Or the awe we feel when we are treated to the sight of a Woodpecker!  

All over the world there are so many different kinds of birds and we are grateful that our Lord created each of us unique and He loves each of us the most.  Be Blessed!  

Hello, may your Tuesday be perfect,

 full of surprises. Be kind to those who are 

less kind; they are the ones who need it

 most. Being kind is more important than

 being right. Sometimes, people don't need

 a brilliant mind to advise them, but a kind

 heart to listen. Kindness in words creates

 trust. Kindness in thought creates depth.

 The generosity of giving creates love.

 Those who speak with a kind face fill the

 hearts of others with joy. Warm regards,

 Maria, kisses
