Happy Thursday!

The last day of April and we are still getting showers!  

While we were blessed not to have any damage, I can't say the same for others in the North Central Texas area.  I hope you haven't had any bad storms!  

The rain doesn't come in colors but rainbows do.  We are ready for beautiful rainbows now.  

There is standing water after each shower with puddles just waiting for me!  

I will say the grass is green and it really needs mowing.  We almost can't see the dogs in it.  I hope you have enjoyed a month with just the right amount of rain!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Wednesday is another day with possible rain on and off.  

When you are gathering up things for a rainy day, don't forget an umbrella.  

You can't always be lucky enough to find one along the way.  However, this one doesn't look like it will keep you very dry in the blowing wind and rain.  

Maybe you will find a friend that will share it with you!  

If you do have your own umbrella, then kick up your heels and have some fun.  I still do this barefoot going to the mailbox on a rainy day.  

Also if you have one, don't forget kindness and share it with others.  

Hello, good morning, may your Wednesday

be a shower of blessings,

I send you a greeting full of love,

peace, and happiness, a hug full of affection,

may your day be complete,

with good humor and full of smiles,

may the force protect you all day,

I leave you all my best wishes,

big hugs, Maria, take care, kisses

Tuesday is for Tacos on the Beach this week!  

Palm Trees swaying in the breeze.  Can you hear the water lapping on the beach?  

Turtles are swimming in the clear water checking you out!  

As night starts to fall the temperatures begin to cool.  

Always be on the lookout for jelly fish especially as it begins to get dark.  

Lightning off in the distance gives you time to pack up and head for cover.  Hope you had a fun time dreaming of the beach!  

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

Here we are!  We are up and ready to face Monday!  

The sun is up and it is time to get a move on the day!  

Don't forget to share a hug and a kiss and show some love.  

No matter how far apart we are, we all need to love each other.  

Be sure to take time to smell the flowers that are blooming this Spring.  

Whatever else you do this week be sure to SMILE with Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, we're starting a new week. The

 days are flying by. I hope your day is as

 bright as your smile. Start Monday with a

 good coffee and some delicious toast with

cheese and jam. Fill yourself with energy to

 begin the morning with new aspirations, and

 you'll achieve everything you desire. May 

your day shine like the stars in your eyes. Make

 a wish; it will always come true. I wish you

 all the best this world has to offer, filled with

 joy and happiness. A big hug, Maria, take care.

Gosh I love coming here and hearing from you!!!

Sunday is one of the best days of the week.  

All of God's creations fascinate me!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, may your Sunday be as beautiful

as you expect, may a goblin come

with a magic wand and light you up like

the stars in the sky that shine

may your day be fulfilled with all your plans

with all your enthusiasm, may you hope that every

day is happy and everything goes well

with surprises you don't expect

full of positive and bright energy

and may it be like a gift you so desire

big hugs Maria, take care of yourself

Laugh, Love and have fun all day !  

It's a good thing!  How does anyone start the day without coffee?  

Our 3 dogs think that treats are unlimited everyday!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello,  start your Saturday off wonderfully,

 successfully, with smiles and love. Being

 free isn't just about breaking your chains, but

 about living respectfully and enhancing the

 freedom of others. The greatest proof of love

 is letting the person we love live freely. Love

 isn't a cage, and freedom isn't being alone. Love

 is the freedom to fly together, it's letting be

 without possessing. On the flag of freedom, I

 embroidered the greatest love of my life. I 

send you warm hugs, Maria, kisses.

The weekend is very close and today is going to be awesome.  Shall we go for a ride on horses today and see what we can see.  

That's right!  Friday!  Everyday is awesome!  Dogs are awesome too!  

And everyday is unique.  Just look at those horns!  You know I love Longhorns!  

Have you ever seen a dragonfly up close?  I bet the wind really pushes them around.  

On the other end of the scale, I bet the wind doesn't move elephants at all.  

I wonder what it feels like to spread your wings and see where the wind takes you.  Enjoy the ride and the day to the max.  

Hello, the weekend is here again! How

 the days fly by! Enjoy it as you please, and

 with great enthusiasm. Life is like a rose:

 each petal is a dream and each thorn a reality.

 You create your thoughts, your thoughts

 create your ideas, and your ideas generate

 your reality. Your words say what you want

 to be, your actions say what you truly are.

 Life doesn't teach you to be strong, it forces

 you to be. Love with all your heart, but don't let

 love blind you to reality. Warm hugs, Maria, kisses

Happy Thursday!  It is voting time for our city and county elections.  

So many don't realize how important this is but these people make decisions in your community.  

This is where many get their start and go on to higher offices.  

Then you get a background on how they vote and if they really have a heart for the people.  

We have talked to the candidates and tried to learn about their hearts.  

In just a couple of weeks, we will be voting for a runoff election for state candidates.  We have always been very active voters.  

Hello, have a beautiful Thursday, ideal, with

 your smiles, and lovely wishes. In life, as in

 a garden, you reap what you sow; if you sow

 love, you will reap love. If you wish to win the

 lottery, you certainly won't. It's better to have a

 big heart, full of love. If you want your life to

 change, change the way you live, change what

 you give to life, and what you receive from life

 will change. Sometimes, the greatest show 

of love for someone is to leave their life.

 One word frees us from all the weight and

 pain of life. That word is love. Big hugs, Maria,

 kisses, and love to your heart.

Wednesday and the days fly by!  

How many different birds are there?  Each is different and so are we!  

They come in all sizes and shapes and so do we!  

God LOVES each and every one of them as He does us without favoritism!  

He provides us with shelter, food, drink, and all that we need.  

Be grateful and give thanks for all we have belongs to Jesus!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello, have a wonderful Wednesday, full

 of smiles and new joys. Life is a long journey

 where you are both teacher and student;

 sometimes you teach, every day you learn.

Life is like an echo. What you send out comes

 back. What you sow, you reap. What you give,

 you receive. What you see in others is in you.

 Life is like a restaurant; no one leaves without

 paying the bill. Everything you do in this world,

 you will pay for here. Life is like riding a bicycle;

 you have to pedal forward to maintain your

 balance. It's like a box of chocolates, sweet as 

your friendship, warm hugs, Maria, and kisses.

Hello, start your Tuesday off right, with

 smiles and new joys. Life is wonderful if you

're not afraid of it. Enjoy life. Because good or

 bad, it's the only one you'll have. Life is sweet

 or bitter; it's short or long. Those who enjoy

 it find it short, and those who suffer find it

 long. Life teaches you who is right for you,

 who isn't, and who never will be. To be happy

 in life, it's very important to know how to

 enjoy the simple things it brings. Life is a 

challenge: Live it, feel it, love it, laugh, cry, play,

 win, lose, stumble, but always get up and

 keep going, enjoying it in your own way.

 Warm hugs, Maria, kisses

Monday is here again!  It should be a beautiful day full of love and smiles.  

Isn't it amazing how each of God's creations is so unique and different?  

Jesus knows you before you are born and loves you!  

I hope you know that He danced the day you were born!  

No matter how old you are, Jesus still loves everything about you!  

I love reading all the stories that God gave us to read.  Spend a quiet day reading and it will make your day peaceful and fill you with joy!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hello,   good morning! May your week be

 magical, full of new joys and happiness. Your

 life will be shaped by the thoughts and emotions

 you nurture. Feed your positive thoughts and

 emotions, and you will have a happier life.

When I talk about managing emotions, I only

 mean the truly distressing and debilitating ones.

 Feeling emotions is what enriches life. If you

 change your thoughts, your emotions change.

 If you change your emotions, your attitude

 changes. If you change your attitude, your life

 and your destiny change. Sending you big,

 warm hugs, love, Maria, kisses

Hello my sweet friend.  It was a perfect day today.  Have sweet dreams and a great new week!

Hello, happy Sunday, and may your week

 begin well. Be like the ocean waves, which,

 even crashing against the rocks, find the

 strength to start again. It's sad to look at the

 sea on a moonless night, but sadder still is 

to love without any hope. Life is like a sea

 voyage: there are calm days and stormy days.

 The important thing is to be a good captain

 of our ship. When I sit by the sea and, with

 my eyes closed, listen to the sound of the

 waves, I feel free from all the obligations

 and people of this world. Sending you big, 

warm hugs, Maria, kisses.

I love finding new roads and seeing where they lead me.  Hope your Saturday is an adventure too!  

Did you ever get to ride in a station wagon growing up?  Was the back seat facing the front or looking out the back of the car?  

Did you ever have a convertible?  We rented one when we flew into Dallas one year in the middle of a very hot summer!  You couldn't even touch the steering wheel with the top down without burning your hands.  

We still love the real old vehicles.  We enjoy the car shows and looking at all the different years and brands.  

I can't imagine having a car that looks that good that does not run.  But I do love flowers a lot and think this is an eye turner for sure.  

As we get older, we just want a car that gets us where we want to go and a house that doesn't need repairs.  We put down 8 more bags of mulch so a house with flower beds looks less inviting too!  Hope you enjoy your weekend!  

Hi, I'm just stopping by to leave my

best wishes for this Saturday. May it be

 full of surprises! Happiness begins within

 you, not in your relationships, not in your

 job, not in your money, but in you. The first

 ingredient for happiness is avoiding dwelling

 too much on the past. The most important

 thing is to enjoy your life; that's what truly

 matters. Happiness will never come to those

 who don't appreciate what they have. True

 happiness is enjoying the present without

 anxiously looking to the future. Wishing you

 much happiness, warm hugs, Maria, kisses.

Hello, the weekend is here again, the

 days fly by! Start your Friday with smiles.

 Kind words may seem insignificant, but they

 mean a lot. Never miss an opportunity to

 treat someone well and be kind. When you

 are kind and affectionate with others, you

 feel more comfortable with yourself. You can

 see for yourself. I love simple, kind, and

 good-hearted people who know how to

listen and give you affection when you need

 it most. Kind words come from kind hearts.

 Warm hugs, Maria, kisses.
