Ate you watching the new series on Hallmark+?  Hope Vallley, 1874 started yesterday and will continue on Thursdays, I think.  It is ONLY on streaming not on linear TV at all.  

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

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.  

On this Wednesday I was just sitting here thinking of you!  

Hello,Rhonda, happy Tuesday! May you 

smile and find joy. I want smiles back, 

 may all doors open for you, and may 

joy find them always open, so you can

 live each day with joy, and may your dreams

 come true, may light and wisdom shine

 in your life. They say that if you give joy

 and good energy, you will receive the same

 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,Rhonda, 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.

Saturday is for doing fun things with friends!  

Friends can be right next door, on the phone, or even around the world!  

Coffee too can be shared in person or with others across the miles.  

Love each other, be kind to all and everyone will have joy in their hearts.  

Thank you for being such an awesome friend and sharing part of your day with me.  

Let the weekend begin early!  Friday is here and the day just feels different!  

It is a beautiful day to have a beautiful day with peace and joy!  

Flowers are up and blooming and then yesterday the wind shifted to blow from the north.  

What do you mean there is still another cold front coming on Sunday?  What happened to Spring?  

Just breathe, just relax, Spring will be back in a few days...  signed Mother Nature. 

Thanks for sharing your world with me and letting me share my world with you!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Love your Thursday Butterfly.  It cleared late yesterday and the temperture this morning was COLD at 39° instead of our usual 60°.  Crazy mother nature.  Blessings & Hugs to you Rhonda!

May your Wednesday be filled with laughter and happiness!  

I hope you and your friends find something wonderful to do together today.  

Don't get into too much trouble together, just find joy in being together.  

Maybe there is someone that is too far away to join you today, just let them know you are thinking of them.  

Your friends may be near or far!  You can still make wonderful memories.  

Share a part of yourself everyday with someone special and tell them you love them.

Today we are NOT eating Tacos.  We hope to have a late lunch with Wendy, Bill & Will at Vila Brazil in Garland, Texas.  It is just across Lake Ray Hubbard and next to Bass Pro.  

We hope the rain that they are predicting will wait until we get back home.  

We will all have our umbrellas!  As no one wants to look like a drowned rat or mouse!  

But we pray for no high winds or hail in the storms in our area also!  

Then after the late meal and wonderful company, we send lots of Sweet Dreams as it might rain all night long.  

Hello, Rhonda, happy Tuesday, may you

 smile and see the smile back, may

 all the doors open to you, and may joy

  find them, always open, to live each day

 with  joy, and may your dreams become

 reality, may the light and wisdom shine

 in your life,they say that if you give joy

  and good energy, you will receive

 the same during your life, big hugs,

maria, take care--

This Monday is the second week of March already.  It has been a rainy "on and off" month as Spring is beginning.  

Rain is good and it is wonderful for floating down a river especially with a friend.  

Do you have a boat or have you been on a cruise?  

Of course the rain is a necessity!  Without it we wouldn't be able to drink water.  

Oh, and boy is water necessary for a warm wonderful bath!  Best way ever to relax after a long hard day too!

I love the rain and thunder and lightning!  I am thankful for the rain and all that it provides for us!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam
