Good Afternoon and welcome to summer! My girls got back after their vacation trip to Myrtle Beach and all around the South East.
They stopped by on the way home to share pictures. So I have uploaded some new pictures on my home page. I am sure enjoying all the new pages on The Hill with cute and beautiful pictures. I don't change my main page but I do try to update pictures and hope you enjoy them.
I am hoping that all the fires in Canada have been put out now. Any fire is a scary time and I hope none of you were affected personally. It is time for me to start getting ready for work tomorrow and Friday. Be sure to check the bulletins on the days that I am working.
Share your smile and kindness with others. Blessings upon Blessings to you my friend!
Wednesday, half way through the week. Yesterday we had new AC units installed upstairs and outside. Today temperatures will begin in the 90's in our area.
The yard looks beautiful. Hubby got most of the yard edged and I got front and back mowed. The daily popup showers did not come near us but everyday there is a slim chance.
My strawberry plants have produced a few already this year. I gave one to Livvy last week and she cried all the way home for more. It was the only one at the time. I have shared with several other people since then including the one I dropped that Carly got.
Today is all about catching up on things around the house with a smile on my face. Maybe this and maybe that but probably not... if you know what I mean.
Now I am heading outside to check out the flowers and see who needs water the most. Also to see if I can get a picture of the Blue Jay that flew off as the camera was ready to capture him. Hummingbird feeders probably need new food too. Come sit for a while with me!
Three hours sleep + 2 more. Now our family is gone. I was still texting at 2:15 am and awake at 5:30, with a nap until 8 am.
There are no words to tell you how much fun Rbt and I had visiting all day yesterday with Amy. Denise is like my daughter and we adore Logan and his girlfriend Megan.
Carly had so much fun with Logan and with Megan too. They would play tug-of-war and where did the toy go? So now with College Baseball on TV, it is time for us and the dogs to take a nap as they are on their 7-8 hour trip to South Texas and home to Alice.
We both know I probably won't nap anytime soon. But what a wonderful day off and weekend.
I am off today because my best friend since 3rd grade is here visiting for a couple of nights! It is a perfect 4 leaf clover kind of Friday!
There will probably be a lot of sitting around and talking about all kinds of things in this world that are going on now with our family and our friends over the years.
There will probably be a lot of flowers and garden talk and sharing of plants that we love.
So much to cover with Amy since it has been a while since we have been together to just talk about whatever crosses our "come and go" memory nowadays.
But when the day is over, we will have made new memories to cherish together and be grateful for our 65 years of being friends.
Wednesday is the middle of the week and a wonderful day for a day off. Woo Hoo! Yippee Yahoo!
And with just a little help from my friends, it will be a GREAT day, if I don't look at my "todo" list, that is.
All my true friends know me through and through that what they see is what they get and I will always be there for them.
Just call my name and I'll be there. ROAR! Here I come! Move outta the way.
But if I am having trouble getting there, don't forget to call on Jesus. He is always there to help each one of us at all times. I do send you lots of Blessings and Hugs each and every day too.
I am going to work Thursday and Friday. I won't know if this girl is coming back on Monday or ever until Sunday afternoon. I will try to post my daily comment in the Bulletin. Please take time to check it there. Some days I will post early and some days after work. Stop by and leave me comments when you have time. I'll keep you up to date as I know what is happening.
Thank you for being my friend and for keeping in touch with me as I am sure I will look forward to your sweet comments and be in need of some laughter every day.
Good Morning Friday! Happy Cinco de Mayo. Let's do this day the right way. Drink some coffee, listen to music and read the day away.
OK, this may be a little extreme, but nothing like music and reading and coffee to start your day or an early weekend.
Unless you want to throw in some beautiful flowers. Now you are talking about a great lazy day.
After all, plants give off oxygen and make our life so much better. You have to remember...
And it is not Hoarding if it is used books no matter how many you have. After all, you are saving their life and saving the landfill.
I hope your Friday is a joyful calming day full of coffee, music, and reading a good book. Remember I will be working and enjoying that almost as much.
Here you come again, just when I'd begun to get myself together.
Now sing that all day... and think of me!
Maybe a little chocolate cake with your morning coffee will help start the week off right! I prefer Braum's Cherry Pie with my morning coffee.
Gosh we miss Miss Kitty! Yet, since she had a leakage problem, I haven't worn shoes in the house since she went to Heaven to wait for us. Always look for the positive in every situation.
Besides, as often as Mondays seem to come around, so do the months and years. Do you remember 1978? OFTEN, I still think of myself as this thin, energetic, able to do anything person. Boy, do I look tall there too!! All those boys are WAY taller than those two Moms are now.
Time sure does fly whether we are having fun or not. However, there is lots to be thankful for after all these years. Julie (my friend in Lubbock) and I have been friends for a very long time and have wonderful memories. I hope you take time on this Monday to remember friends and family and to give thanks!
Are you ready for the weekend? I think I am even though I don't have a clue what will happen.
All I know is that if there is sunshine, I will be outside enjoying every minute of it.
I will be on the lookout for hummingbirds. Our latest cold snap seems to have them hibernating because I have not seen them. Ok, maybe I was hibernating!
Whether I am outside or just walking past the windows, I am always on the lookout for hummingbirds or butterflies or birds or anything else that moves in the yard.
I also like to walk the front and the back just in case there is a new flower that has bloomed or some new plants that have popped up out of the ground.
I know green roses are rare but it is probably because if I had one, I would think it was a weed and pull it up. Wouldn't you? Ok, as much as I hate pulling weeds, maybe I wouldn't pull it up.
Work, work, work. I love working part time. I really wouldn't want to work more than I do but then the money sure comes in handy too!
Whether I am working or home, inside or outside, there is NOTHING like sunshine. Good ole Vitamin D. This year sunshine has been hard to come by, just cloudy, dreary and rainy weather.
So whether the sun is shining or can't be seen, whether it is day or night, be sure your Light is shining.
But don't forget about your Love toward others too. That means saying something nice to those you encounter.
