Hello, happy Sunday, and have

 a great start to the week! focus on

 the journey, not the destination. Joy

 isn't found at the end of an activity,

 but along the way. (Words about the

 joy of living, which consists of not

 focusing solely on the result of what

 you do, but trying to enjoy it while you

're doing it.) Let yourself go and live

 life to the fullest; the best things

 happen unexpectedly. Enjoy life, it

 has an expiration date. Warm hugs, 

Maria, kisses.

Hello, happy Saturday! Fill it with

 smiles. It's forbidden to wake up without

 enthusiasm. Be full of positivity. In life,

 it's essential to always keep alive the 

enthusiasm for what we do, to have hope 

that we will achieve what we set out to

 do. Having a bright day depends more

 on your attitude than on the sun. Do

 what you love most and put it into

 practice, because words and good ideas

 are worthless if we don't put them into

 action. Warm hugs, Maria. Kisses.

Enjoying a cold weekend day this Saturday!  

So what are you doing this Caturday?  

Remember:  Laughter is the best medicine!!! 

Sometimes when you are stuck inside wishing for sunshine and Spring temperatures you have to entertain yourself.  

Don't paint yourself into a corner, paint a pretty picture to share with someone.  

Remember, you can be anything you want to be.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, the weekend is here again!

 Start enjoying it! How wonderful are

 those people who don't even know

 you but speak to you with such positive

 energy. (It's very important in life to

 surround yourself with people who

 generate good vibes; life is much

 more beautiful and easier with them.

 Good vibes are like a giant magnet

 that attracts everything you need

 to be happy: friends, smiles, love,

 peace of mind... Enjoy your weekend

 with love, smiles, warm hugs, Maria, kisses)

Thursday is here and the weekend can't be far behind.  

I know some of you are still having cool weather but I am hoping you will warm up soon!  

As you know our temperatures are all over the place.  Today will be in the upper 80's; however, a cool front is coming through tomorrow.  

Tuesday all 3 of our girls got a brushing and a bath by Rbt.  

Then while I was working on Wednesday, all 3 got to go for a car ride and got their nails trimmed.

So now we are back to working in the yard spreading our 16 bags of mulch in several of our flower beds.  Thanks for your friendship!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, happy Thursday, full of smiles

 and joy! Giving joy is the most beautiful

 gift you can give to someone you love.

 Joy is the way to show life that it can't 

defeat us, and it's the best way to banish

 sadness. Every day is beautiful if you

 wake up with joy in your heart and a zest 

for life. Joy is like a powerful magnet 

that attracts everything you need to be

 happy. Try to fill your Thursday with joy,

 warm hugs, Maria, and kisses.

Hello, good morning, may your

 Wednesday be beautiful, full of joy

 and smiles. When the days seem gray,

 brighten them with a big smile. Laugh

 when you're sad; crying is too easy.

 Positive people change the world,

 while negative people keep it the 

same. Things are always seen with

 more joy when you're with a positive

 person. Always wear your smile, and

 your face will look brighter. Warm hugs

 and kisses, Maria.

Tuesday, our Tacos & Run Errands Day.  We got 16 bags of mulch yesterday on sale but they will have to wait until the coming weekend.  I am working on Wednesday because they will all be at a meeting.  

Spotting the Blimp yesterday reminded me how much I love Hot Air Balloons.  We have been to Plano to watch them and it will be time this summer for the Festival again.  

Just imagine up in the air and no one else around.  Peace and solitude.  

Or lots of other beautiful balloons all around you!  

And looking down or off in the distance at all things God has created.  

Up Up and Away!  I will be back on Thursday!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

What a weekend!  Thank goodness Monday is here.  We worked in the yard this weekend but we are NOT finished.  

However, all the strawberries on all the 5 plants have been eaten.  

On Saturday, our homemade greenhouse got completely cleaned out.  Plants got trimmed and dead leaves thrown away.  Yes, I may have gotten a little "pink" after over 6 hours as it was just above 90°.  

But so many plants are blooming including all 5 of our Rose bushes.  

And most everything else has lots of buds like all my different colors of Amaryllis.  I can't wait to see which colors bloom first.  

Yes, all the plants got to go back under the shade that the lattice provides on Sunday.  Next is buying 20 bags of mulch to be put down.  

And thank you for those that ask about Reba.  She is still going in and out of the Doggie Door on her own.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hi, I was just passing by your page.

 Have a great start to the week! Have

 a wonderful Monday, full of wisdom.

 We all smile in the same language, the

 language of joy and happiness. Joy is

 nothing more than knowing how to

 enjoy the simple things in life. Don't

 miss out on life's little joys while you

 wait for great happiness. A big hug, 

kisses, and smiles, Maria

Hello, friend, happy Sunday, I send

 you a ray of light, full of good wishes,

 so that you start your day with joy, that surrounds

 your home with love, let your dreams be

 bigger, that your fears, your actions,speak 

louder  than your words, the past, trodden

  on, the present, head on, and the future,

without haste, that everything happens

  beautifully today,that your dreams come 

  truenas you wish, strong hugs, Maria,

That Friday squirrel is too darn cute!  Thanks for the smiles!!!

I had the best day at work ever yesterday.  I made 39 phone calls, left 15 voice messages, but talked to 24 clients.  It was wonderful.  

Thursday we took the plastic off of all the plants and put it away, hopefully there will be no more temperatures near freezing.  

The Hostas and Ferns are doing so well.  Just a few weeks ago, I thought that one of the Hostas would never come back this year.  God's timing is perfect.  

Got some of the Ivy plants hung up in the shady areas so the 90° sunshine doesn't burn them.  Spring will cool off next week!  

The prolific Airplane plants are happy in the shade of the Juniper trees too.  

Today in between college baseball, softball, and basketball games.  I hope to get these beautiful blooming plants set out all around the backyard.  I could surely use your help.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Have a fun day on Friday!  See you Saturday!

Thankful Thursday is here and I have a lot to be thankful for today.  

I think we grew up in the best era ever!  What fun we had outside roaming the neighborhoods with each other.

I am very thankful that I did NOT have to drive over that bridge to work or EVER for that matter.  

As I have aged, there are a lot more simple things that I enjoy.  Thankful for things that may not be perfect but still work most of the time... sight, hearing, smelling, walking... you know, the basics.  

Today we are in the low 90's.  We only had one ice storm this year.  Yes, many of you have had a terrible winter and you are always welcome in Texas.  

Hello, have a great start to your 

Thursday. They say starting off on the right

 foot brings good luck. A perfect day shouldn't

 start with coffee or tea. It should start  

with me Have a lovely morning, my friend.

Smile and be grateful for a new day.

I wish you a warm and healthy morning,

 so that your day is very special. Have

 a great day. With new hopes and dreams,

 your day will be full of blessings, just

 as you wish, peace and harmony, and

 a ray of light.  wish you all the best. maria

 throughout your life. A big hug, Maria.

Take care.

Here we go again on starting another week!

What to do with another day of Retirement!

"I am just trying to get warm!"

Are you still waiting to do your taxes too?

Who gets dressed up everyday?

Where oh where would I be without my Hubby to get my coffee refill?  

Hello, good morning! May your 

light fill your new week with joy, and

 may your Monday be a day of renewed

 hope. I decided a while ago that not

 even Mondays would erase the smile

 from my face, and I hope they won't

 erase your joy either. Have a beautiful,

 positive day. This week you will have

 new, positive hopes and big smiles.

 Kisses. Take care, Maria.
