Good Morning

Dinner last night

A favorite flower.  This was a puzzle we did some time back.  I see a picture hanging in the Gallery just like this and always think it one of the best there.   There is always a great appeal in daisies.  I think I show this picture more than any other.    I am waiting for my daughter Christine to come bye and put the camera pictures on the computer so I can show you some new ones.   This new small lap top works great but I am not used to some of the features.   I am a slow learner, what can I tell you.   

We had a Santa workshop at the Gallery last evening and we sewed buttons on some little ribbon purses we are making up for "Ladies Night Out" in town, on a Friday evening.  The purses are made of ribbon and the button does nothing but decorate them and make them look fancy.   I had no idea if the fingers would work as I haven't had to sew a button on anything in a very long time.   It was with a bit of effort to make the fingers behave, but they did, and I think I got six or eight finished before the evening was over.   The pizza and wine party is always enjoyed and last night was no exception.   Zoey, our preteen age young lady was more than willing to thread the needle for me.  She is a delight and so smart.  I don't think she finds anything difficult to do.  She makes it all look so easy.    I remember those days.....the fingers don't....age has a way of showing who is the boss!!

I had a quiet day at Ridgemont yesterday and put a new puzzle on the puzzle board.  This one is going to be hard.  It has a lot of dark pieces that all look alike in shade and shape so it should keep me busy.   It is a scenic picture;  a bit of mountain int he back ground and a lot of meadow in  the forefront with the same shades of meadow land and a few flowers.   I should have realized when the frame went together so fast that the rest would not follow..smile.    A challenge, what else . . . if you find you have some free time, feel free, I don't mind a little help at all.  Just don't plan to come today as i am heading out the door.  Chris has a meeting over in another town and it is right by the casino and of course I agreed to keep her company.    Wise me....or foolish me....we'll find out before the day is over.

Thanks for the e mails and catch ups.  It is always good to know what you are doing with your seconds.    I am glad to know your health is good and you are taking good care of yourselves.   I wish you had reasons to come this way so I could get a real hug, but a verbal one will have to do.    This is the busy time of year as we go forward to the holidays;  won't be long before they will be here.   Time to start plans as to where you want to go, what you want to do, and what time to start writing up that list of gifts you will want to buy.    Sale shop it is better on the pocket book.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle of spirit and make some one person happy today by gracing them  with your company.   Stop off at the bakery and get a little something sweet to take along and share.   A tea party, or coffee or a cold drink if you prefer, will give you reasons to feel like 'queen' for a day;  or 'king' if you take time out to visit a friend or family member.    Sharing is caring.   So Share YOU with those you like and love.    Hugs to all.
