Hello, the weekend is here again, the

 days fly by! Start your Friday with smiles.

 Kind words may seem insignificant, but they

 mean a lot. Never miss an opportunity to

 treat someone well and be kind. When you

 are kind and affectionate with others, you

 feel more comfortable with yourself. You can

 see for yourself. I love simple, kind, and

 good-hearted people who know how to

listen and give you affection when you need

 it most. Kind words come from kind hearts.

 Warm hugs, Maria, kisses.

Thursday already?  The month is half OVER!!!  

Sing it out loud and all day long!  I can hardly wait for the new Dale Watson album to be released!!!  New Album "Unwanted" has my favorite song, "If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me)". 

Listen for the Holy Spirit and Trust what He tells you!  

I hope you know how strong you are and how far you have already come in life.  

Falling asleep to some music or the bible being read to you will kickstart your day.  

Hello, may your Thursday be wonderful,

 just like you start your day, with smiles.

 The most beautiful curve on a woman is her

 smile. Laughter is the language of the soul.

 A smile is the key that opens your heart to

 the whole world. If you give smiles to those

 around you, life will return them to you with

 happiness. A smile is the best makeup a 

woman can wear. Use your smile to change 

the world; don't let the world change your

 smile. A smile is better than a tear. Warm

 hugs, Maria. Kisses.

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
