Talent

My son Michael is very talented and there is nothing he cannot make .  This year the parade theme is Pirates and here you see the ship, called the Rum Runner, which is just about finished and ready for the summer parade in Gardnerville, Nevada. 

Here is Barbara and her daughter Connie enjoying dinner at an inn in Ireland.   They are having a wonderful time and we will hear more from them as they see the sights and sounds of Ireland.  Sure would like to be along and re do a few steps of the Irish sod.

These are cars , railroad cars, which have been around for many years,.  I never heard of them.  The only thing other than a train was a had car but never did I see or hear of these.    There were pictures but no story.   I guess we will all have to learn together and 'Google' it to find out the whys and wherefores.

 

 

The week has flown by, the time is getting short and my  sons will be returning to their homes.    But .. not yet.  All my traveling around and living high on the hog caught up with me yesterday and reminded me I am not as young as I used to be.   I had to sit out the steak fry and stay home with my shoes off and a nap time.   It was a hot day and I did get to a yard sale, which I haven't been to for some time, and saw some lovely furniture but I have no room for it.    They had books but not any authors I wanted to read.    Mostly table books, which are big and beautiful and fun to look at but take up much to much space for me.    I got  to the grocery store and stocked up on a few things I needed and then I crashed.     I will hear later how the steaks were, just hope they were tender.

 

So today, take stock of your energy.   Make sure you do not overdo.   Pace yourself.    A lesson to learn as we give our bodies and minds a workout without thinking they need some tender loving care.    Be wise, be good, be kind, be gentle and make your weekend memorable.    Put YOU on the priority list of rest and relaxation and enjoy your seconds as they come.   I am off to make my coffee and watch some news and maybe have a nap before I put those shoes on today.   Be lazy today. . . be a slug, but be a goodie two shoes as you tend to your good deed for today and pass out a few bear hugs along the way.  One is never to busy, or to relaxed  to share a hug or two.    Hugs to all.
