Hello, may your Friday and weekend begin well,

with a shower of blessings, live

each day with beautiful dreams, a smile

is a gift, sadness brings wrinkles and

bad moods, while you find what you are looking for,

be happy, with what you have, life gives us

a new day so that we can fill it with

joy, happiness, love, and health, fly as

high as your dreams take you, I leave you

a million kisses and friendship, Maria

What a beautiful day we had yesterday at 60°!  Happy Friday because even though we may not have as much sunshine, it should be 60° again.  

Plants in the garage all got watered.  It was so nice not to have the heater on in there as the door opens to the north wind.  

Then we had to move the bricks along the bottom of the plastic to get to the temperature device to change the battery.  All 4 devices got the batteries replaced.  

You want to do it on a warm sunny day with sunshine beating down, not when it is below freezing and you don't know the temperature under there or when to turn the heater on.  It was SO humid and hot when I lifted the plastic up.  PERFECT for our plants!  

We were being proactive since we know the arctic air is on the way (shiver as I type that).  

For us life is good when it is warm and the sun is shining brightly and when all our plants are HAPPY!  :)

I know, it isn't Caturday.  But isn't that a sweet kitty this Thursday!  

I hope I put a smile on your face today.  It is supposed to be our pick of the week's best day.  

I don't know if we will get more snow, but bitter cold temperatures are coming back for about a week.  

So we will have to get our running and exercise done this week.  Next week Mom won't want to leave the house again.  

Yes Grandma knitted these for us and we will be very thankful when that arctic blast arrives.  We are sending her this picture!  

I see she got scarves for you for Christmas too.  Now enjoy the sunshine and warmth today if it isn't too late.  

Hello, friend, good start to this Thursday

I wish you a GOOD DAY, that you have the best

time. If life doesn't smile at you, tickle it. Life 

is like a mirror that will smile at you if you smile.

 The happiest people are not those who   

  have the most, they are those settle for less 

 than life gives us If you know how to share

 joy and happinessamong the people around  

 you most of them will return that joy

that you wish for with a smile on their face

kisses, take care, Maria...........

Good Wednesday Morning to you!  Today I will give you some things to think about.  

Do you talk to yourself in the mirror, maybe with words of encouragement?

Remember you are in control of your attitude and life!  

Yesterday is gone, no need to worry about it.  You must concentrate on today!  

So go forward with an open mind as to what today will look like.    

Always show love and be real.  

As long as we have memories.. Yesterday remains

As long as we have Hope… Tomorrow Awaits

As long as we are in touch… Everyday is beautiful day..

Have a Good day! :)my dear friend.

Many hugs,Nathalie

Good Tuesday Morning!  How about a ride on the beach with me today?  

Of course it has to be someplace warmer than most of the beautiful graphics going around right now.  

So for me, it is a good morning to sit and read all day long, like my online daughter, Jo, shared with me.  

I can always just look outside to see the birds that love every season, even a snowy winter.  

Or look over at the beautiful Amaryllis that loves to bloom inside during the cold winter days that are outside.  

And I am blessed to be able to send Hubby to the mailbox to retrieve the packages and mail as I wait for his speedy return, fixing some nice Hot Chocolate and ...  

Doing good friend and thank u. Just cold.

I changed the pictures on my page to share my family from December.  Then I thought I would share with you a screenshot of the video of my girls being pulled behind the SUV with the back open.   My son, at age 56 last month, will forever be 12 years old.  The girls tell him that he is not old enough to drive.  They have done this for many years.  They live on a dead end street now.  They have been learning to drive since they had a small Barbie Car.  Then as they got older, they would sit in his lap and drive.  When they could reach the pedals, in winter he would take them to empty business parking lots when it snows and teach them how to drive in it.  They are 16 (next month) and 17 years old now.  Their Dad has made sure they have had fun their entire life.  Quote, "Homework will be there later, come outside now!"  

I wonder what blessings this week will bring us.  

It was a beautiful day yesterday with sunshine and mid 50's.  The birds had so much fun eating seeds!  

The bright red color of the cardinals getting on and off the feeder always catches your eyes.  

As well as all the little bitty birds going from the feeder to the ground so as not to miss a bite.  

Birds singing and feasting in winter is just another reminder that it is 2025!  Have you dated anything yet to remind you of the new year?  

Hello, friend, good morning, again, we

beginning of the week, make everything you

Caturday is here again on this cold January of 2025.  Do you have weekend plans?  

If not, come on over and we will sit by the fire for a while.  Do you like coffee or tea or maybe some hot chocolate?  

I can tell by the chocolate on your face already which one you prefer!  

Well, would you look at that, someone has already been in the coffee bean this morning.  

What are you guys doing in the pantry?  Don't eat it all because I need my coffee every day.  

Oh what the heck, let's just go back to bed for a while and take a short nap to start this weekend off right.
