I just wanted you to know that I have a 2:30 appointment today with a "new to me" cardiologist.  I don't know what to expect yet.  I will send a more updated history after today if at all possible.  Those that have my phone number know that if I can't get back to my computer, I will text an update.  

The pictures above are from this morning that I hope you will enjoy as much as we did.  If you saw the crescent moon this morning, we were both looking at the same moon.  

Thank you for all the posts, pictures, prayers and love you have sent.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Spring is trying to come in but old man winter still wants to stay around. Snow once again for tonight and tomorrow. March is always full of surprises. My how I love my moments. May you have a pleasant weekend. Share your smile and might have someone smile back at you. Smiles Gloria

Hello friend, another weekend. Time flies by.

Today, Saturday, we're going to ADD confidence,

joy, and hope. And we're going to SUBTRACT worries,

complaints, and fears. LIFE has many beautiful new surprises

 in store for you. You just have to live them day by day.

Live with enthusiasm and love. Spend your day with a

big smile on your beautiful face. Cast aside your sorrows and spend

a successful day. Hugs, Maria.

Happy Spring!  If these were in my yard, there wouldn't be a leaf on them.  The wind is terrible.  

I hope to hear something about my computer tomorrow.  We will see.  

If you read the bulletins posted, you know I was in the hospital.  I went to the ER Sunday morning.  On Monday afternoon, I had a pacemaker put in.  Happy St. Patty's day to me.  I want you to know that I had almost NO symptoms.  My Apple Watch told me 3 times early Sunday morning that my heart rate dropped below 40 beats for over 10 minutes.  

I got home Tuesday afternoon.  I am doing fine.  Wednesday I spent getting things caught up like paying bills, going through mail,  and getting the APP for the pacemaker finally set up.  

I hope this is Thursday and I get it sent to each of you.  Thank you for the prayers and love that you have shown.  I am working on getting strength built back up.  I hope some time soon to be able to send my daily emails/posts.  

LOVELY TO HEAR FROM YOU ANNE. BEEN A LONG TIME. HAVE A GREAT SPRING DAY. LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU. MOE

Hello again, we had a great day today, Wednesday.

And tomorrow will be another day. You have to make the most of your days, as much as you can.

This new Wednesday is a day for smiling. It's the best way to spend it the way you like. And leave the sadness behind. Life is sweeter if you smile.

Take care. Hugs, Maria.

I am so sorry I missed your birthday.  I hope you saw the bulletin that I was in the hospital.  My prayers are that it was very special and that you are still having a blessed week!  Pam

Anne, I had to answer you and tell you how good it was to hear from you.  I hope to be posting again soon!  Blessings & Hugs!!! Pam

Hello, start your Tuesday bright like

your smile, don't start your day without your

smile, let it shine and light you up throughout

the day, like the stars at night

never lose hope, there are miracles

every day, no matter what day it is

get up and shine and follow the path

that you want, full of fun and pleasure

warm and healthy and special and beautiful

like your friendship, big hugs

take care, Maria wishes you......................

Start this Wednesday right with being Thankful for God's Grace.  Then add music, dance, and a smile.  

It is the middle of the week.  Look at all the changes going on around you.  

Today might be your laundry day, but hopefully if you hang it outside to dry, there isn't snow all around you.  

As the sun comes up each morning, we are blessed with God painting beautiful colors in the sky.  

Even if you don't have sun, maybe it is overcast or foggy, there is always a surprise just waiting for you.  

Today might even be the day that God says the timing is right to answer your prayer.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Tuesday Morning my friend!  A perfect week temperature wise is ahead, 50's to 70's.  

It sounds like picture perfect weather if that is the only thing you look at!  

Then they tell you that there might be a day or two with a chance of rain.  So you see the birds gathering at the feeder to stock up.  

Now they also tell you that half of the days will be windy.  It is March after all.  But 50 mph straight line winds cause lots of damage.  

Be sure to look at all the details.  Perfect days and not so perfect days together make you stronger.  

Go out and make the entire week, one day at a time, the best it can be.  Smile and share your love.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, friend, I want to wish you a wonderful 

Tuesday Thank God we woke up together again

From a distance, wanting to have a good time 

and Enjoy life to the fullest. I hope it goes 

great for you Everything you plan today, dream 

without limits Live without fear and keep moving 

forward Every new dawn is a gift that we have

One more day I wish you a beautiful day like your 

friendship, May your day protect you and keep you 

under its heavenly mantle Always give the best of 

yourself And the best will come back to you. 

 Start your day with smiles To get everything you

 Take care, Maria kisses

This Saturday the rain showers are heading our way!  It is the perfect day to rest, relax and recover.  

Take a run at something you haven't done in a while. 

Look for the beauty all around you.  Find something different and share it.  

Always share your love with others.  Someone out there may really need it.  

Be a blessing and share some of your kindness with them.  Say a prayer over them.  It will make your Saturday better too!  

At the end of the day, don't forget to set your clocks forward if you are changing to Daylight Savings Time.  You don't want to be late for church tomorrow.  

You bet it is Friday!  The best day of the week and the best day ever!  

The sky is blue and the temperature today should be a perfect 80°.  Yes, it will be cold and rainy for the weekend.  

So put your prettiest hat on today and get out and share that smile!  

Never let anyone or anything that happens spoil your "PINK" perfect day or your life.  

Love is in the air and all around you today and every day.  

Backup and really look at this graphic.  Jesus is always by your side and inside of you!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Thursday Morning!  It is still dark and cold.  In just a few days, the time will be an hour later and it won't be quite as dark.  

We will have to stay up later to catch the moon coming up.  Are you a night person?  

Or are you an early riser and one who doesn't get to see the moon in the middle of the night?  

I am both!  I love watching the crack of dawn as the sun comes up and to see all the different colors God paints in the sky.  I also love the night and all the stars.  

I don't need as much sleep as the "average" calls for.  So I am giddy with excitement that we lose an hour and have more sun later in the day.  

No matter if you like mornings or late nights, I pray for you to have joy in your heart! 

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Morning!  After the wind dies down there is hope left in our world for a new day.  

It is Ash Wednesday after all.  It means Easter is 6 and 1/2 weeks away.  

Always look for the best especially after you've had a tough time.  

Find a way to do something good each and every day or at least the start of something good.  

We are all praying for Peace and for God's Favor.  

May you also have His Blessings and feel His Hugs because Jesus loves you!  

Tuesday is here and that means tacos for lunch.  They are always on sale at Rosa's Cantina!!!  We love sales and discounts.

Now that you have laughed out loud today, share that smile & love with others.  

It is Monday and we are starting another week!  

We did have rain overnight but I don't know how much yet!  That is why we mowed the yard yesterday afternoon to bag all the dried grass.  

So I hope you will have a beautiful first full week of March and share your smiles with others.  

Now it is time for coffee.  I can hear it brewing and smell that delightful scent.  

Blessings & Hugs!  Kisses too!  Pam

Spring is in the air even though we are to have snow falling down tomorrow. The month of March always has surprises as winter is trying to stay in and spring is coming in the back door. Smiles Gloria

CONTINUED more Friday pictures.  

Roosters just can't resist saying "Good Morning, are you enjoying the sunshine?"  "Where is our food this morning?"  

The word is out and spreading fast that you are here to feed all of us!  

"Good Morning, snort, snort!" says Wilber or Big Daddy.  I am heading for the cool water on the ground as soon as you scratch my neck.  ( I can only take so many pictures on FaceTime but that is where he went.) 

Good Morning Mamma Charlotte!  Do you need some love too?  

Oh and Good Morning Momma Molly!  I know you miss your babies but they all have such good homes with kids who are loving them!  

One more trip around the yard to get your exercise.  Now start looking for bugs to clean up the yard and enjoy the warm sunshine to make your day magnificent.  Yes, I was sweating by the time I went back inside and it felt so very good!  

I love taking  and getting pictures (I know you can tell) and sharing my most wonderful memories with you and I love to go back and look at them often.  I hope you have a collection of your own to warm your heart!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Happy Caturday but today is Saturday!  And it is more about my dogs, AGAIN!   It is also about our BEAUTIFUL sunshine in Texas.

It is also the first day of March!  Can you believe it???  

I couldn't resist taking this of Carly and her shadow. Carly has been with us since 2018.  As I sat in the rocking chair on the patio for over 2 hours on Friday with the warm sunshine on me too.  

Reba came out to join us all as she strolled the backyard to make sure we were all safe.  Reba has been with us since 2013.  All our dogs are rescued.

J Lo was napping in the sun and guarding the doggie door so no one could get past her without the password.  J Lo has been with us since 2014.  

The password was to call her name! She is really a cutie patootie!  Next adventure in pictures from Friday later today, I hope, from our over an hour on FaceTime with my daughter, Wendy.  

I hope you have signs of March and Spring around you and are enjoying them.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Final Friday and final day of February is here.  Now I know Easter is late this year and we can have a freeze up until Easter, but I hope NOT and NO more Snow either.  How about you?

However, again, I don't know about you, but where I live the pollen count is already high and I am having trouble breathing!  Now is that a good sign or not?  

Just because February is almost over doesn't mean that Hearts are gone.  I fell in love with this and wanted to say Thank You for being my friend.  

The leaves are NOT on the trees yet, but we can still gather together and support each other.  I have a bird that loves to sing loud and proud that the weather has changed some.  I just haven't caught him or her in a video yet.  

Before you know it, we will see flowers blooming everywhere and there will be beautiful fresh cut flowers on the table!  

2025 is going by very fast and yet we didn't think the cold and snow would ever leave.  February has wonderful blessings but we say goodbye and we will see you next year.  Bring on the March Blessings!  

Good Thursday Morning!  After working for three days, this was taken when I got home yesterday.  We had 3 beautiful days in the 70's.  Last night we had a 15% chance of rain.  We got about 1/4" with thunder and lightning between 1-3 am.  

When I walked in the house, this is what I saw... Reba had pulled her bed out in the middle of the room.  It is supposed to be under the coffee table.  

Then J Lo comes in and is like... What happened to our bed?  Why are you out there?  

She finally gives up and just gets in it too.  I mean they share it together most of the time.  So about 3 am this morning, I finally moved it under the table again.  After all, we were up because Reba doesn't like thunder or lightning and was vibrating.  

This morning Carly was trying to catch up on her sleep because of the comotion during the rain, lightning and thunder from last night.  No sleep for me because hubby and I have to run errands today.  

Just wanted to say I missed you while I was enjoying my time at work.  I tried to answer your posts while I was working though each evening.  Thanks so much for remembering me and being such a terrific friend.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, friend, happy Tuesday, may your day be

full of joy. Sometimes you find in life

 you find what you don't expect, a special

 friendship: that someone who, when entering

your life, changes it completely. That someone

who makes you laugh incessantly, that someone who

makes you believe that there are good things in 

the world, that someone who convinces you that there 

 is an open door. I hope you open your door for me

when I visit you, give us a hug and smile, that 

is the most beautiful thing that this life gives 

us take care of yourself and don't leave your 

smile, it is the best gift,maria kisses

 and friendship.

I am so sorry you were ill.  I try to say a pray for you each day that I visit your page.  It is SO good to hear from you Ann.  I think we warmed up to near 70° today.  I have 2 more days of work and I will be back to leave you messages.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Thank you, friend, for accepting my request

I hope to meet you. My name is Maria. Take care.
