Good Morning!!!!

I am about to take a ride on my broom....thought you might like to come along!!!

Good morning.  I've been awake for hours,  why?   Who knows...I don't.  Just some mornings are like that or should I say nights?    No rhyme or reason just awake and I spent time looking at the paintings on my wall.  I have an excellent collection, six , by count, all originals and all with a story to tell.    I will have to think about getting some paints and see what I can create....must be something that would make my world a better place ....but, I'd need more wall space...smile!!

I have not opened the blinds..it is dark out there...smile!!!   I have been up for hours, not sleepy....maybe a chair nap is in the offering....but, there is a puzzle on the  table so you know I cannot just leave it alone. 

A new day, hopefully warm and sunny for a walk to the corner and back....but...I think we are in for some wet weather today...not sure, haven't turned on the television and news of the daily weather.    A little rain wouldn't hurt and I do like a rainy day...don't you?    If I had galoshes and a rain coat I'd go walk in it anyway....nothing like a walk in the rain...snow would be even better....smile....or not....depends on your own likes and dislikes....some prefer to be a hot house plant and then there are 'us'...smile.

I hope your day is a good one, filled with love and laughter.    I am off for a refill..coffee...aah!!!  Wish there was something good to go with it....oh well, toast is toast with a bit of jelly it has to do.   Make the best of what you have....it is the only way to save your day...smile.....going to love you and leave you....off to catch up on some snoozing..turn on the t.v., hunker down in my easy chair and off I go....I'll be back!!!

Have yourself a day to remember.  Be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!

Fall Colors does a lot for awakening the love of Fall in us.....bright, beautiful, changing colors before our eyes and I picked up several to bring back for my little hall table yesterday when I walked up to the corner and back.   Nature wearing Joseph's coat!!

A new day.  A beautiful day to share with those you love and like.   

I could't resist....I haven't made up my mind yet this morning, but....I am working on it....seconds needed for coffee...I'm off to fill the mug....want some????   Come on over I'll pour you a cup.

I have three dried leaves on my desk this morning;   a very deep amber, a russet shade with veins of red and a mixture of colors with veins of deep red and one golden leaf with thin red lines  to define the shape of the leaf.     They are really beautiful and a little memory of a nice walk outside yesterday, not only to the corner, but up the road by the baseball field, a bit hilly but doable .  Exercise, fresh air, and you really never meet a stranger as the folks walking bye manage a hello and a smile.   Walking out in the sunshine doesn't hurt a bit...smile!!

So, today a new day begins, the shade is drawn, cars are all parked in the lot and a new work day  begins for those in the hospital wing.   All the shades, but one, are closed and that person is watching television, shades up, light on and probably the only one over in the hospital wing awake at this time of the morning....after five thirty, I think....haven't looked at the clock....it only tells time...smile....

So I am off for a refill, turn on the television and see what has happened in the wee hours.   I have no special plans for today but would love to be making some....a trip....yes, I'd like a trip off to visit old friends and a bit of family....but I don't think it is in 'the cards' today.   I will be plotting and planning a trip to the corner and back as I think the girls are busy...something to do with grapes.....Chris has a small arbor and the grapes are ready for jelly making and they don't wait when they are ripe and ready for picking....I like grape jelly on my toast, so....I'm not going to complain.   I'd offer to help but you know that old adage of too many cooks in the kitchen....my day has come and gone even if I do not think so...smile....but I can always help by having a jar or two in my cupboard after they do all the hard work.   Old habits die hard, and this getting older may slow us down but it doesn't cure that old adage about being young in heart but old to soon....but there is something about passing the baton that is truly pleasing as you get to sit back and let someone else do all that work.

So, I am going to love you and leave you to making your day a good day, all day...go.....enjoy your seconds and share you with those you love and like.    Be happy today!!  Hugs to all.

Favorites

Beauty is everywhere as the leaves fly free in the morning light...go see!!

A masterpiece......well ...... I thought it was.....wonder who has it now?    I thought I captured Tom Selleck pretty good.....well the dog came out pretty good.....miss painting, um....maybe I'll get busy ....daughter Patricia just painted a masterpiece;  a seascape and did a great job of it....

A favorite picture, has a special feeling all its own...one of my favorites.....it was a puzzle, not easy to do, but worth the effort.    The charm, the light, the feeling of all is well comes to mind.   Roses are red, violets are blue, but you have to admit the lowly daisy shines through!!!  smile!!! 

A new day coming, but not yet, it has to be all of five a.m. and the parking lot is pitch black, not one car moving in or out.  The lights are not on in the hospital wing ...nope...take that back, there is one room light on and the television is on as the blinds are open...another early bird.....well someone has to greet the first morning light....you...sleeping in.....um.....lucky you, smile!!

My first cup of coffee is long gone so I am going to love you and leave you and go for a refill, hunker down in my easy chair and watch the news and hope something good is on.... but .... right now it is political....oh dear......people calling in with their opinion and this particular fellow is very clear about how he feels.   The "Donald" must have very red ears this morning.....some like him, some do not.....some things never change...smile.

So, today is a good day to be happy.   Today is a good day to be generous.  Today is a good day to share YOU with those you like and love....SO!!!!  Go Share.....hugs to all.

A New Day!!!

If I had a bank account of any size that counted, I would send each of you a bouquet to make you smile, know you are loved and missed.

Not a bad way at all to send your daylight hours,  or even your night time hours...smile!!!

A new day, something good is about to happen....probably a little bitter with the sweet but we can handle anything....get up...get going....make today the best one yet.....you can do it.

I am off for a refill.....that first cup goes so fast.....hot black coffee...um......good for sending signals to the brain cells......but....it is pitch black out my window, not a sign of life, silence prevails;  a good time of morning as the first light is about to shine and a brand new day is in the offering.   I am thankful for a new day, old friends, a bit of company, something good to share and a hug or two;  a good way to start a brand new day.

I had a good day yesterday with drop in company, heard some old tales, some wishful thinking and got a hug, now that always 'makes my day'.

So get up and get going and make your day bright and beautiful, just like you....be someone who knows how to be a friend.....a few kind words, a hug or two, a knock on the door with a big coffee bun to share....yeah....life can be good if you decide to share you with those you like and love.    Go.....start your day with a surprise, a treat, a smile and a hug and you will be happy all day.

Be good, be kind, be gentle....be YOU!!  Hugs to all.  The weekend is here...let us hope and pray that it will be filled with good moments shared with those you not only like but love....be ready to lead the parade...smile...." and the drums go bang and the symbols clang and the horn they blaze away.....la, la, la......go......have a weekend building memories.    Love, hugs, laughter...sounds good to me......come on over, I'll put the tea kettle on...you bring the goodies a there 'is nothing good in this house' ....well, I like sweets and even the crumbs disappeared .....oh, never mind...I think I filled the cookie jar yesterday and didn't have or take the time to test each one....smile.    Okay....you know the drill.....be good, be kind, be gentle....be a lover.....hug and smiles....practice, practice, practice.....la, la, la,   ready set go...."three little words, that's all I live for....la, la, la......and I do....I love you.  Later gater...off for a refill.....'smile, you could be on candid camera'.....smile!!! 

Time Out!!

Wishful thinking in pictures this morning.    A time to memory walk and relax as you wake up to a new day hopefully bright and beautiful...but....I find no reason to fault the rain when it falls....life is good.....relax....wake up, smell the roses and enjoy TODAY!!!

I am off for a refill.   I have laundry day.   I have things to do, an apartment to clean, no, pickup as the cleaning is done by a young lady who whisks through like it was a no nothing job;  experience tells...smile.  I own a duster or two but no heavy household brooms and brushes;  apartment living at its best....or....for one who does not mind doing housework, I miss it and like to make things shine.  Friday is cleaning day and chasing dust kitties is the name of the game....come on over I'll give you a chance to hold the dust mop...smile...yes, I heard you,you have one of your own....well......put it to good use...smile.

I did a little grocery shopping yesterday so got my exercise walking up and down the aisles.   There is a lot of 'wants' when you walk the aisles, but....and the but is a good one....prices keep you in line and the choices are for keeping you healthy and happy for the week;  with a little good stuff thrown in as calories do not count in store bought cookies....just do not have the pizzazz of homemade ones.  So, make your today a good one.   Share you with those you love and like;  find a bit of time for everyone who counts in your life;  not my fault you are so popular...smile!!    Get up, get going and make today special;  just like YOU!!!  As the old timers always said when we decided to be 'bored'...."Go out in the fresh air and live a little"....and they knew what they were talking about....so....get up, go out and make your today 'shine'.   Be happy!!  Stay 'in love' with the world in general and your special folks who do put up with you...smile.    Be one of 'the good guys' today and see just what you can accomplish ...um...hugs, smiles, a bit of love, laughter....it is all good....try it!!!
Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and share YOU with those you love and like today!!!!

Odd Bits!

Good Morning to You!!!!  Good morning to you!!!   Put your shoes on and go for an early morning walk, get  a little exercise and fresh air, then back and cook up a healthy hardy breakfast.....'green eggs and ham'   or burned toast could be in the offering!!

There is nothing that says you cannot make a"Dagwood sandwich"....yum!!!

Remember how to do this?   Keep your hands busy while the eggs are cooking...smile!!

Well, here we are with a new day.....the night shades have not changed yet, much to early;   but, pretty soon the light will come and the shades will be up and the folks will be up and moving.   A new day....um...wonder what is in store for us today......time to shop, time to visit, time to wake up and smell the roses before they are long gone and the winter months show up in all their glory.    Got your winter clothing all aired?   Check out your boots and make sure they are waterproof....time to re do the closet and throw out the old and useless and buy some new winter duds that will keep you toasty and warm for your long winter walks....you do get out there and walk don't you?    Good to get up, get out in
 the fresh air and have a 'brisk' walk;  those slow lazy steps just wont do....you would get frost bite..smile.

I do hear from some folks who like to get up early and get going;  Jock is a prime example as he is already out the door, fishing pole in hand, and even gets 'the kid' up and out with him very early in the black of the early morning.   Fishing is important, no matter how old you are....wish them a good catch and some fun this morning.    I sometimes envy folks who know how to fish.  I never had the opportunity, wasn't offered it but then someone has to cook it....smile.    I think the difference is in where you grew up..city or country.  We live and learn, just think of the different life style if you would have had one more time to go around...smile!!!

So, today...be good, be kind, be generous....think BIG!!!!  Do something 'good' and brighten someones day . . . a hug, a smile, a treat....what a way to start your day..try it...you may find you really like it.....what is that old adage?   "One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and GO"....SO!!!  Get going!!! Have yourself a very special bright and beautiful day....all day!!!! 

Be good, be kind, be YOU!!!   Hugs to all.

October Faces!!

Get Ready....It is almost time.....Ghosts, Goblins, and screeching owls.

Time for a little witches brew!!!  or not...smile!!!

It is coming.  Halloween.....be patient....it is almost here!!!

Fun time, candy time, and October beams with delights of all kinds.    Dress up this year and surprise your neighbor;  just hope he or she does not call in the little men in white coats to carry you away.   I'm smiling as I remember a Halloween of some years back when a neighbor lady chased us off with her witches broom and sent us on our way.   She had had enough of trick or treat and decided it was lights out time....she had a pitcher of water in her hands when she opened her door...yes, we scattered quickly.....mean old witch!!!  smile!!!!

I had a ride uptown, or should I say downtown, yesterday.   Patricia and I decided to go and have lunch at one of our old haunts which is about  to close, or it seems to be. Not may of the business folks there now and the big surprise was the bakery closed  How can they close the only bakery in town?  Easy, I guess, maybe they are opening somewhere else.   Our town seems to be dying by neglect or disinterest, and it does not bode well.....don't like it, but if the folks do not buy local then the business folks need to move on...such a shame.  In my head are the words running around..."you.ll be sorry!"....

So, off I go for a refill.   I have a brand new day with lots of hours to fill.   What do I want to do?   Well, want is one thing...needs another...doing is what counts so I am off to get 'doing' or 'going' as the old expression claims.....and make my today a good one...join me, there is more than enough time and space for the two of us..smile.    Be good, be kind, be gentle,  love one another.....save a little for me, I am always needy...smile.   Hugs to all.
