Happy Friday my friend and hope you have a great weekend. Very hot for today, Saturday and Sunday then cooling down with good chances of rain all week. Know having thoughts of my wife will always be but that's part of the healing process. Many years of love and happiness.
Guess what! I am excited. Yes we are going to be mid 90's today, BUT there is a hint of fall in the air. Rain is all around us, not quite here yet. We are hopeful that we get a little bit as the yard in the back is very dry in the hot spots. But not a drop for us today.
First thing every morning I look outside to see if there is color in the sky. Again, guess what... it was there today. You know how I love to take pictures. So look how our day started.
So now we are off to the feed store for more dog food and just happen to pass by the Mexican Food restaurant for some Wednesday enchilada special to bring home for lunch.
Don't forget to share that smile if you are out and about today and that I am sending Blessings & Hugs your way.
I can't tell you how much we are enjoying Bella, the dog. If none of my dogs want to play, Bella just plays by herself. She will take toys out the doggie door and later bring them back inside. Last night she found a tennis ball in the toy basket and played with it for an hour. She would put it on the couch, jump up on the couch, push it off with her nose, and then run to get it as it bounced across the tile floor.
And that is all it takes to be happy. I hope you are finding what makes you happy today and doing it. I went to Costco and to Kroger for groceries on our list and got them all put away. I even baked a Braum's Cherry Pie (from frozen). I made Lemon Cream Cheese Bars yesterday for my hubby. I also made Broccoli & Apple Salad with Yogurt but we haven't eaten it yet.
So now I am heading outside to throw something and watch Bella, Carly, Reba, J Lo, and Miss Kitty either chase it or just turn and look at me wondering when I am going to go pick it up.
The long weekend is almost over and it has not cooled off at all in Texas. My goodness it is still hot, humid and miserable outside.
I sure hope that you found time to just chill and to recharge between hurricanes, tornados, fires, flooding and just the fun times of getting older. We have to be tough to survive!
So as I am sitting here counting my blessings and just want you to know that your name is included on my list.
So now I am headed to the magical, mystical ranch in the book I am reading because that is my way of "Chillin'".
Bella is visiting for a week and Carly is so excited. They ran and ran and ran in the big backyard for over 30 minutes and were exhausted yesterday. This morning they played some inside and then Bennett came over and Bella would fetch every toy he would throw and bring it back to him.
And yes, she can jump the baby gate! She is very smart and knows to sit and lay and understands most things we say to her. We are still learning each other's routines.
Bella is a good dog with kids and other dogs. She is also very good on a leash. I worked on Friday, so we are now ready for some Football... love College football. We are also waiting on cooler weather and maybe a chance at a shower. However, we have already watered the front and the back this morning.
It is a long weekend for lots so enjoy that extra day of doing nothing on LABOR DAY.
Good day and a joyful weekend for you. Very sad days for me as I lost my beautiful wife of 65 years. She has been my life with so many happy memories. She looked so beautiful, calm and rested on her passing. So now I go on thinking and missing her........George
