It's Saturday!!

Competitions  starts early.

You have to have a sense of humor;  some jobs are tougher than others.

How true!!   We certainly need a great leader, even a good one would do.

Finally an answer to a prayer....ha, ha.

Hope your sense of humor is high this morning.   We can always use a laugh or two.   

Only two days left of February and the last one is the 29th...Leap Year.  had not given that much thought; every four years a special day for the ladies to play the part of  Romeo and chase that man down....you know the one that wonders if commitment is a mortal sin.   But, once the love bug bites them, they wouldn't have it any other way.  There is proof of that here at Ridgemont as you hear the surviving spouse talk about the sixty or more years spent with their chosen one and their stories of everlasting love.    They were the lucky ones who took the time and energy to know each other and became partners in life, no one upmanship, no jealousy, no wanting the romantic world with a fence around it.  Folks who worked hard at making marriage work in their favor.  Like all good things in life, it takes two to tango and the music is endless.

 

I invited myself over to daughter Pat's house to watch a few more episodes of "House of Cards"  , the third season and it is moving along  fast and furious.  Kevin Spacy is a really into the part of being a true 'nasty' president;  we have had a few of those, not mentioning any names, and he does bring the sleaziness to Academy Award acting.  It is quite a cast and the story line shines like the headlines of todays newspapers.    Pat tunes in now and then but she had other things she wanted to do.  She was thinking of what to make for our dinner but I talked her into a pizza  which I had not had in awhile.   The pizza parlor here does a really good job and it includes a salad so it is dinner without work.   Christine came and joined us and the conversation turned to the Sydney Gallery and the remodeling of the upper floor as they change the artifacts around and update the historical items to make it even more interesting to the public.   I didn't volunteer to help as there area to many stairs to climb to get up to the second floor.   I did bring back a couple of pieces of pizza and shared them with Doris, our cookie baking lady who was baking cookies when I returned to Ridgemont.  Smells were in the air, so I walked down the hall, pizza in hand and gave them to her.  She said she was to tired to fix a dinner for herself , she just turned ninety nine this past week, and sat right down and devoured them as they were still warm. 

 

So life goes on at its rapid pace.   A weekend here and the weather is iffy.   Hopefully the sun will break through again today but only time will tell.  It is much to early to open the blinds.   I am off to have my coffee and wake up, blogging has a way of awakening the brain...slowly.... sometimes it is four a.m. . . . just an early bird.   Some folks are early risers, don't you just hate them.....go away.....leave me alone.....come back at noon.....then there are 'us' the up at crack of dawn, at the ready, breakfast before the sun is up and energy to lick the world with one hand behind.

 

So be an early riser, get up and get going.   You have things to do today.   The early bird catches the worm..blah, blah, blah....smile.....be happy that you can get up.    Make up your mind today is going to be wonderful.   Get in a good deed today and make sure you supply enough hugs to make your world go around.    A light touch, a soft word, a smile . . . Go...Be YOU!   Hugs to all.
