Our friends have left Lubbock and are well on their way. So excited! We have been friends for close to 50 years.
There will be LOTS of laughter going on and NO suppressing it! Can't afford any more spread to hips! So now I am off to clean bathrooms! I know you are jealous! Sending Blessings & Hugs because well...
The front and back yards have been water; groceries purchased and put away; Taco Salads from Rosa's have been eaten; and dogs brushed. I feel a nap coming on. We have company coming tomorrow which means vacuuming, moping, bathrooms cleaned and a million other chores. If it wasn't so hot outside, when they get here, we could just sit and enjoy the sunset. Can't wait for the laughter and love to begin but until then, I hope you already have your chores done and...
I have a wind chime with 8-12" of 2 hummingbird feeders. They don't mind it. When it gets real windy, hubby ties a small soft rope around the chimes so they don't clang all night long. I will send you an email with a video.
I toatally agree Pam, with you about having a summer day over winter. I have two friends here on NOTH that can't wait till fall. Now I like fall too, but I don't want to skip summer! We got still another thunderstorm this afternoon and it rained like the dickens! Lightning too! The grass is so green - too bad you aren't getting any. It was 88 today and the sun was out again after the storm. Earlier went to breakfast with Richie's brother - I have got to stop this eating in the morning!!! We went to Big Lots this afternoon before the rain, and picked up a few washclothes, and honey found a new griddle pan and I found a windchime that wasn't too expensive. I was just wondering if I put it out inbetween the hummingbird feeds, it it would chase them away. What do you think, Pam? The feeders are several feet away from where I want the windchime to go. Maybe take down the third on and move it out back. Got to get the towels out of the washer and put them in the dryer. Hope some rain comes your way soon! Enjoy this new month. hugs, Wendy
Good afternoon to you. Its a warm 95 here. I'm hoping it isn't to hot where you live. Supposed to get up to 102 here. I don't care for the heat or the cold. I''m a in between kind of person. Went shopping this morning and got a text while I was still on my way to Walmart. My husband got me a new dryer. Haven't got it yet. There will be a guy bringing it sometime this afternoon. Mine that I have right now makes a awful sound when its going. So I will be happy to have one that doesn't make a awful noise when its drying clothes. Not much going on here right now. Just taking it easy and waiting for the guy to get here with my new dryer. Take care and enjoy your afternoon. Hugs Cheryl
Hi there and happy first day of August. Its a hot and steamy one here. I am hoping its not another hot month. You can never tell with August. Enjoy your afternoon and evening my friend and take care. Hugs, Cheryl
Can you believe that some schools in the DFW area are starting today? My girls start on the 10th. Most all schools are starting a couple of weeks early because of time they missed during the Pandemic.
Even as hot and as dry as we are this year, I would rather have summer than a freezing winter. Which one do you prefer?
This was the Dallas area yesterday evening. And once again we did not get a drop. So near and yet so far; all around us. But one day soon, it will be our turn.
So just what are you doing this weekend? Do you have any fun plans?
I hope you make time to laugh with friends or family. Laughter, helping, kindness and love is what makes the Blessings of life. Don't you agree?
We all need to make time to help others. Sometimes it is doing something good for them. Sharing your smiles helps make others wonder if you are up to no good or just helps to put a smile on their face too.
You might even speak to a stranger, just say "Hello" and make them feel noticed, alive and important. Being kind to someone might also make them smile. You could take a drive in the evening to watch the stars come out. Whatever you do, share your Blessings with others every day.
