I have said prayers like this.. wanting His blessing my way.  

And you never know who is looking over your shoulder.  It could be a dove flying by or an angel that you don't even see.  

Sometimes when things seem to go wrong, it could be that God isn't saying "no" but just "not right now".  

There are times when it is hard to have faith and not think that God isn't listening to us.  BELIEVE  

Good morning Lorri, wishing you a Sunday of rest and relaxation.


Blessed Be my friend.

Good Morning SunShine!  I am just checking to see if the neighbors are up yet.  

You don't think they can see me, do you?  Maybe they won't recognize me.  

I guess I could just sit in the window with my human and be obvious like she is doing right now. 

Now if that isn't the truth.  Do you have a cat?  I don't!  

After all, they can be kind of scary.  Has your cat ever scared you or itself?  

Are you crazy?  Just look at that... Not scary at all, just cuteness.  Ok, all babies are cute!  

Good morning Lorri, may you have a most wonderful weekend.


Blessed Be my friend.

hello, have a good Saturday, with your loved ones

  life is short, live it to the fullest,

make every moment a great blessing for you

and for others who are with you. Enjoy your

day, with much love, happiness, and peace, 

have fun, take care, kisses, and big hugs, Maria

Finally, it is Friday.  I hope you have had a good week and I hope the temperatures have warmed up for you too.  

Now that Easter is past, I have moved flowers and hanging baskets out into the yard from under the makeshift greenhouse.  

Time to get out the potting soil, pots, shovels, and fertilizer and get busy.  Do you like this time of year?  

Kick your shoes off and let's go pick some Spring flowers.  I love going barefoot.  I rarely wear shoes in the house or around the yard.  

Look at how vivid the colors of the flowers are this time of year too.  It just takes my breath away!

Time to get outside and enjoy the sites, smells, and fun times.  And get that squirrel away from my computer... 

Oh wait, That is me!  

Good morning Lorri, wishing you a Fabulous Friday.


Blessed Be my friend.

It is Thursday and the weekend is getting closer.  Let's find something fun to do today.  

Instead of sitting on a bench, let's sit here on this tree in Hawaii and visit.  

We can take a road trip in our minds.  Were you ever into the Hippie era?  I still love long hair on guys.  And boy did our parents hate it.  Kind of like we feel about a man bun now.  Sorry if you have one.  

Did you ever stop on the side of the road to eat... not at a roadside park but on the tailgate of your station wagon?  I still love those cars.  Remember the ones with the back seat facing the rear view?  

I will admit that I LOVE Mopar and the bigger the engine and the faster it goes, the more I like it.  We both still have our motorcycle endorsement on our drivers license even though neither of us own one anymore.  

Some things last forever, like Multnomah Falls.  Some things get more valuable with time, like old cars.  

Some people age well... like my girlfriend and I shopping and having a fun time together.  

Then some things just get better with time, like Robert and I.  I love him more every day.  I hope you are as blessed as I am.  

Good morning Lorri, may you have a most awesome Thursday.


Blessed Be my friend.

It's Wednesday..........havea  GREAAAAT day

hugs, Wendy

Middle of the week is here.  Let's make it awesome!  

I love giraffes, oh, you know that already.  I know everyone loves kisses.  Want one?  

How about just a peck?  The zoos are full of new babies.  It is Spring time after all.  

Did you know someone in my home likes zebras?  There are only 2 of us here.  

Ok, I will admit, that is a beautiful painting of a zebra, especially with the red background.  

They are very spectacular in the wild and with an orange (my favorite color, oh, you know that too) moon.  

Even the wind and the trees seem to like the zebras.  How about you?  What is your favorite wild animal?  

Good morning Lorri, wishing you a wonderful Wednesday of

Hello, Happy Wednesday with Good Wishes. shine.

May your life shine like the morning light:

It's getting brighter and brighter until it reaches

all its splendor.May today be a good day

full of light in all your projects and activities,

With all my friendship, Maria, kisses, and big hugs,

for you, take care

After coffee, let's take a trip outside today.  What shall we explore?  

Oh look!  Birds have laid eggs.  Babies are hatching.  "I am all alone!  I am hungry!  Where are you?"  

"Stop yelling!  I am here now.  I am working as fast as I can to feed you!"  

"How many are in there?  How can you all be hungry at the same time?"  

"I think I found a new home for us."  Have you seen any babies yet this Spring?  

Our neighbor next door has been sharing the new family of birds (eggs to hatchlings) that need a new home instead of in their security camera.  Can't wait to find out what kind of birds!  

But maybe their old home was turned into a flower pot.  Great ideas for tea pots, don't you think?  I do hope you enjoy my rants.  I love you all.  

Hello, this Tuesday and any other day

of the week enjoy life,

don't miss out on opportunities

add, multiply good thoughts,

expresses good feelings

and excellent actions. Happy Tuesday!

take care, thousands of kisses, and big hugs,

kisses, maria

Good morning Lorri, may your Tuesday be Terrific.


Blessed Be my friend.

Here we are with another new week and a new beginning.  

So let's put a smile on our face to share with everyone we meet today.  

Do I look good in this hat?  The sun might be shining sometime this week.  

Or I might wear this one if it is a dreary day when we go grocery shopping.  

Do you think this one would be good if I go to Brighton to pick up my key fob?  

I don't think it really matters how you look or what you wear as long as you show kindness, caring and love to others.  Enjoy today and every day!  

Hello, Happy start to the week, ideal, Many people

will enter and leave your life, but only true friends

will leave their mark on your heart. True 

friendship is not about being inseparable, but about

being able to be apart. and that nothing 

changes. Have an excellent Monday, take care

it's 30 degrees here, kisses, Maria

Saturday we went to Kelly's (FA at Ed Jones) for a crawfish boil with her family and friends.  Sunday we went to Wayne's (my son) to see our girls.  Great time was had by all on both days and we had some sun shine both days.  We are Blessed!!!

LUCKY YOU LORRI WITH SUNSHINE. SEND  ME SOME WILL YOU?   HUGS, MOE
