Fishing

Fishing for compliments; of course Angie grew this all by herself and is very pleased with the results.   

Jock's friend caught a big one.

Passion Flowers ...I used to have some of these growing on a fence some years back and they were special.

and our Jock is not to be outdone.   Look at the size of that fish....it really is 
WOW.   Congratulations on a good catch.  

 

A new Monday and the start of a new week and eighty degrees today . . . um, the start of warmer weather so it is time to think about fans, air conditioners and a hand fan or two for emergency cooling.    I left my door and windows opened to catch the coolness of the night so it remains to be seen if it was a good idea or not.   Right now it is cool here in the apartment but will it stay that way?   I hope so.   A good time to think about having your cooling system checked.   You want it to work when the thermostat hits the high notes.

I got to the Casino yesterday...wow....all I had to do was ask.    That doesn't always work but the ladies were in the mood for a little town shopping and Poulsbo is a cute little town with shops and streets of houses, and yard sales and stuff like that there...We had lunch when they rescued me and I came home with my own money so that signals a win....I'd like to come home with some of their money but as someone once said; 'they don't build those casinos on their money'   It was fun for me as I had a couple of machines that let me play and entertained me for awhile.     I keep trying to win a big one and have for forty years or better.  I know, I know...if I had saved that money and let it grow I'd have some to leave behind but that would have left some play time out of my life and that chance to win the big one.....who said "a sucker is born every minute"?    Barnum and Baily . . . well they were right.   Actually it is fun as long as you remember not to overdo.    You have to have discipline.    A lesson of life we learned the hard way.

Patricia is shoveling dirt today and I offered to help .  She said I could help plant later when it is all done.    I don't think she trusts me with a shovel.   Probably a good thing.    the spirit is willing the back is weak...smile.

.Speaking of smiling, you would think I could have done much better.   Not sure what I was thinking, probably wishing Louis would take his camera and take pictures of his other guests.    My girls are beautiful and we all had a lovely time.    Pat is sprouting a short haircut for a change and it looks great.  Christine likes her hair length just as it is and , as for me, I could use a bit more hair...did you know it thins as you age. If I get any older I may have a bald spot yet.

So today take your camera for a walk and find some of the folks you like and love and take their pictures.    If you snap them unawares you may get some lovely smiles .    Send me a few and I'll blog about you.     I am off for a refill of my coffee.    I'd like a master chef out in my kitchen cooking up a storm but there are no volunteers so I guess I'll have to put on some toast and see if there is anything left in the peanut butter jar.   Go, have yourself a busy day; so you stay out of mischief.    Bad advice. . . kick up; your heels and have a bit of fun today and everyday.      Bring love and laughter into your lives and share YOU with those you like and love.      Hugs to all.
