Three hours sleep + 2 more.  Now my family is gone.  I was still texting at 2:15 am and awake at 5:30, with a nap until 8 am.

There are no words to tell you how much fun Rbt and I had visiting all day yesterday with Amy.  Denise is like my daughter and we adore Logan and his girlfriend Megan.  

Carly had so much fun with Logan and with Megan too.  They would play tug-of-war and where did the toy go?  So now with College Baseball on TV, it is time for us and the dogs to take a nap as they are on their 7-8 hour trip to South Texas and home to Alice.  

We both know I probably won't nap anytime soon.  But what a wonderful day off and weekend.  

I am off today because my best friend since 3rd grade is here visiting for a couple of nights!  It is a perfect 4 leaf clover kind of Friday!  

There will probably be a lot of sitting around and talking about all kinds of things in this world that are going on now with our family and our friends over the years.  

There will probably be a lot of flowers and garden talk and sharing of plants that we love.  

So much to cover with Amy since it has been a while since we have been together to just talk about whatever crosses our "come and go" memory nowadays.  

But when the day is over, we will have made new memories to cherish together and be grateful for our 65 years of being friends.  

This Thursday is the start of a new month.  Hello June , please ease us into the summer.  

Soon enough the early morning fog and clouds will just be dust from lack of rain.  

Let us start off summer and June just being grateful for all we have right now.  

So get out and live and share your smile and happiness with others because it is contagious.  

Be the light that others are looking for and some desperately need.  

Breathe in and as you breathe out you share your love with them.  Love one another!  

Hello last Wednesday in May and the last day of May.  Goodbye to School and Hello Summer.  

It is time to get outside and enjoy life, sunshine, fresh air and to have fun!  

Go to the zoo to see the animals or the arboretum with flowers in full bloom.  

Do you have a pet?  There are lots that are looking for a FOREVER home!  What fun summer can be when you have someone to enjoy it with.  

Besides, playing outside barefoot in the grass is a wonderful way to ground your inner soul and to make you feel much happier.

have a great week. Anne

April Showers bring May flowers... What about June?  

Here come the flies, bees, yellow jackets (at my hummingbird feeder), spiders, etc.  

It may bring more weeds, but I think they have already been in my yard for a while.  

Allergy season is also on the way.  Unless you have that all year long like me.  

But oh my!  Isn't it worth all the effort?  When it starts to peek out of the ground or when the bud turns into an open flower in the rain and sunshine, the other things are forgotten.  

I am grateful that you are in my life and are a dear friend to me.  

Memorial Day is here but please never forget what this day is all about.  

You might be at home today with family and friends getting together.  

Or you might be on a summer vacation with family or visiting friends since school is out.  

Wherever you are or what you are doing, I hope your flag is flying high to remind others of this day and what it means to so many.  

When you look at flags today, remember the meaning of then flying in the wind, the last breath of those that gave their all so we could be free.  

After all, so many gave their all for our freedom.  The true meaning of Memorial Day.  

Blessings & Hugs to those left behind today and always!  Pam

It is Sunday but we have a holiday tomorrow.  Bless this day and Memorial Day!  

I hope you get to see a beautiful sunrise this weekend and enjoy the view around you.

Or maybe you will see a beautiful sunset this long weekend.  

I love taking pictures and the sun rising in the morning is a favorite time for me.  

But then, since I am up at night, I do love trying to take pictures then too.  

Whatever you do and wherever you go, enjoy the long weekend, give thanks to our Lord, and remember those you sacrificed everything.  

Happy Caturday!  Even the cats have gone to the beach!  

Family & Friends!  Not everyone is welcome but sometimes we just don't have a choice.  

OK, who let the dogs out?  Try to be nice to everyone you meet.  

Always take time to stop and smell the flowers and share your smile.  You just don't know what tomorrow will bring.  

Just don't get caught on camera doing something you aren't supposed to be doing.  

Wednesday is the middle of the week and a wonderful day for a day off.  Woo Hoo!  Yippee Yahoo!

And with just a little help from my friends, it will be a GREAT day, if I don't look at my "todo" list, that is.

All my true friends know me through and through that what they see is what they get and I will always be there for them.  

Just call my name and I'll be there.  ROAR!  Here I come!  Move outta the way.  

But if I am having trouble getting there, don't forget to call on Jesus.  He is always there to help each one of us at all times.  I do send you lots of Blessings and Hugs each and every day too.

I know you have heard it... Happy Wife, Happy Life.  Time to walk out the door with coffee to drink at work, hopefully before noon.  

An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.  Now that one is probably more true than most people care to believe.  I do prefer a Cheeseburger.  But I am taking a banana today.  

Life is beautiful and it is what we make of it each and every day.  What is in your heart?  It is your choice after all.  

Tuesday is as good a day as any other day to share what colors make your heart happy.  It just might make others happy too.  

Remember always that each day is up to you.  When you make others happy, it makes you happy too.  Share that beautiful smile and let your light shine.  

Do you have any wonderful plans for this week?  Most of the schools get out for the summer this week.  Most of the kids are so excited!  Ok, maybe they all are excited.  

I will be excited as soon as I figure out how to get up off the floor and get back to work today!  

Now, if I can just catch a ride to work and get there on time.  What fun the days gone by were for kids...  No phones, no worries, just friends being together and having fun.  

What are you looking at?  I just want to know what your week is going to be like.  Is that too much to ask since I am working?  

So who really knows what will happen each day of the week?  Now let's just sing it... What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours.  

So have a great week, be kind, share your smile and don't judge if someone is having a bad day.  

Oh what a beautiful morning!  Oh what a beautiful day!  

It is a perfect day to sit on a mushroom and watch for butterflies and hummingbirds.  

Oh how I love all the creatures that God created in all their majestic wonder.  

Won't you join me today on the patio for a cup of coffee or something else as we sit and solve the problems of the world.  

We can watch the roses as they open to show their beauty!  

And we can watch the clouds drift past us as the day comes to an end.  I am waiting for you!  

Back to work this Friday.  It really has been a great week.  I got to spend Wednesday with Kelly, my boss, and celebrate her birthday.  We even went to Salt Grass for Steak and Fried Shrimp for an early lunch.  

Do any of your dogs or animals watch TV?  Do they notice other dogs or animals?  

Do your dogs, cats, animals sleep a lot, like all night and most of the day?  

Isn't that just beautiful?!!!  I know I think my dogs are the cutest ones ever!  

Well, I hope you have a GREAT Friday with someone just as crazy as me.  I have to be crazy to go back to work, right?  

Let us start this day right.  Sing it all day now.  It is a wonderful world after all.  

What are your favorite smells?  Coffee is one of mine.  However, the smell of the seashore brings back some fun memories too. Unless there are dead fish!  

Where else can we drift off to that a specific scent would bring back good memories?  

We could gallop through a field of flowers in the country!  Wouldn't that be fun?  

From the wide open spaces to the waterfalls in the forest.  That sure has a unique scent to it too.  

And yet, not all water smells the same.  Rain has a scent of its own and we have had lots of rain lately.  As I think to myself, What a Wonderful World.  

No matter what your favorite scent is or your favorite memory, the coffee is always on and you are always welcome to stop by.  When will you be here?  

Another day, another 50 cents.  Today is my boss's birthday.  It will be a great day.  

Doesn't that make it look easy?  Just lay on your back and look up!  

That is all there is to it.  Right!  It takes practice but we can always look for the bright side or the positive in every situation.  

Looking back only slows us down when the road ahead is waiting for us and sometimes with a second chance to do it right or to do it better.  

So set your sail in the right direction.  Let's go have a wonderful day.  After all, we are halfway through the week.  

Besides, if you share your smile and love, not only will your day be great but those you encounter will have a great day too.  

Good Morning and Good Night!  Busy day tomorrow.

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Who doesn't love flowers?  Have you ever had flowers in your coffee?  Flowers always cheer up a rainy day and we have had some of those lately.  I hope all you Moms got flowers on Mother's Day.  As you can probably tell, I am working.  Just know I sure do miss praying over each of your pages each day.  I will be here on my day off so don't give up on me because I love hearing from you!
