Good Morning To YOU!

We would have it made in the shade.    We have a great pizza place here and every month we manage to order a large one that seems to disappear without any effort at all and I have not heard one complain about calories.

This picture was on Facebook yesterday so I copied it to the blog.   It brought back some great memories of winter rides.  The first snow is always beautiful .

Our first day with Erin was wonderful.  She looks great and had so many tales to tell.   She just finished helping a photographer with a desire to help the parents of deaf children , getting them to learn sign language and participate in the events in life.    There is so much we do not know about what goes on in our world.   Some folks have what we think of as a handicap but they don't think so and go on to learn and to teach others to take an active part in life.   Erin is a role model when it comes to showing what a person with a hearing loss can accomplish.  She has the right attitude and the willingness to participate in life which brings about a hearing all its own.    

Pat and Erin spent some time in the kitchen yesterday and Chris and I had  treat for our dinner.    Gazpacho cold soup was a beginning and then we went on to a very special mushroom treat that was delicious, ending with a desert Christine got from our special bakery here in Port Orchard and a taste of their lemon tarts.   All I can say is having super chefs in the kitchens here makes for a very satisfied customer and all I have to do is come....spoiled???  Nah, not me....well...maybe a little.

We took time to watch a movie about ships and stormy seas which was well done and could make you fear the ocean .  It was a Disney film which surprised me.  They are usually calmer , but not this one.  

A walk around the yard, more beautiful red tomatoes to pick and a lot of plums falling from the tree.   Good exercised...bend, stoop, pick up, bend, stoop pickup...see, I have the routine down pat.  

So today enjoy your back yard.  Check things out and see what needs doing.  It is the winding down of the season.  Time to think of the chores to get ready for the oncoming winter.    Leaves to be raked.  They have a crew at Ridgemont so we don't get a chance to play in the leaves.   Up in Carson City there were two very tall old oaks in the yard where I lived in an apartment and it was such fun to go help the landlord rake up the leaves.   Knee deep would be putting it mildly.   Make the best of what you have and go play outside int he leaves.  It is very good for YOU.....makes you feel young again....makes you want to play outside and be young again.    Go...be good, be kind, be gentle and make today the best one yet.  Hugs to all.
