When the Right Song Comes on...


The volume dial goes up,
the shades go on,
I ignore my neighbors glares,
and have the time of my life!

No Matter the Size


 
Be humble.
Be kind.
We're all in this life together.
Have a blessed day.

Which Would You Choose?


Me:  It's a toss-up between A and B.  A would be nice but B would be so much better!  I guess that makes my answer the letter B!

How about you?  Which one would you choose?

Texting Humor



Texter:  Wanna come to the gym with me?

          Textee:  You spelt bar wrong.

How is that for a little Monday morning humor?  I wish I could have copied it but Instagram would not let me.  Now, smile and get to work!

Not for me but his lovely wife.
Maybe a dozen?  Wouldn't that be fun?

Evening Trials


Since I've gone back to work full time, this is how my evenings have been.  It's amazing that two little Chihuahua's can take up the full couch around me but they manage just fine, that is, when they aren't laying on top of me!  I love my little guys and know that I stress them out every morning when I put the doggie door up so their space is limited but I know that they are safe in a controlled environment and it gives me piece of mind.  My husband let's them loose before I get home so they meet me at the garage door with wagging tails, happy dancing, and lot's of puppy love.  All is forgiven and forgotten.  Life truly doesn't get much better than that!

A Good Book


I love reading every bit as much as I love writing.
Writers have to stay in the same place for much longer than the reader,
but that's okay.  My goal is to take you away from where you are.
If I've done that, I am ecstatic!

I Believe


Believe in yourself and you can do anything.
Big or small, you are capable of it all.
Just Believe.

Think About it...


It truly does say a lot about you.  Though I always put my in the coral, my car always seems to attract those loose carts that people feel entitled to leave wherever they want.  In my mind, it's pure laziness and/or lack of consideration for anyone else.  But then, having worked in retail for a short while, it is truly amazing just how low some people behave.  The stories that I could share with you would make you sick to your stomach.  It certainly did mine.  I guess you now know how I feel about this topic and I'll get off my soapbox!  My apologies - unless you're one of those who refuses to coral your cart.  It's not difficult or time consuming to do the right thing.

Remember Sunscreen


This is a humorous reminder for something that's not quite so humorous for some of us.  I am a skin cancer survivor - I won't go into the details - but know that it's no laughing matter.  It takes lives every day.  Be diligent and protect yourself and your loved ones.  That said, go out and enjoy the sunshine.

The Power of Positivity


Strength isn't a external gift, it's an internal one.
Stay positive, no matter the circumstance.

Ahhh...Colorado


This picture from Colorado was sent by a friend from Kansas, though it could have been shared by my parents.  Their summer road trip has taken them to Telluride to spend some time with my uncle Paul.  They now have two weeks under their wheels and are having a great time!  Love you and be safe!

Keeping it Cool


This is an excellent idea.  We've used it for an outdoor (at the park) baby shower.  The pool cost us less than $4 and fit in the trunk of our car.  Fill it with ice, then add food and drinks.  It kept everything we needed to chill, cold.  It was also a fun thing for the kids during clean up.  Once the food and drink items were removed, the ice was melted but still cool so we placed it on the ground for the little ones to play in.  They had a ball!

Today is a Good Day


Oh yes - today is my last day working for American Greetings.  I start my new job with the county engineering services on Monday!  I interviewed for it months ago and was not the chosen candidate.  A few weeks ago, out of the blue, they called me to see if I was still interested.  Thank you God for giving me patience and the ability to trust in you.  This offer came just when it needed to and I am so excited to start this new chapter.  So off I go to tidy up a few loose ends and deliver a couple dozen cookies to those who have been a joy to work with and made my job easier.  Today is a good day!

Bring on the Rain



June means afternoon thundershowers in Florida.  It's also the beginning of the hurricane season - yay!   Although I've been more involved with hurricane evacuation by visiting Florida than living here; they say that we are due.  Other than that annual threat, the sky is a beautiful blue and the landscape is lush and bright green.  June is a beautiful time of year - anywhere!  Enjoy it because June will be gone before we know it and then, half of the year will have evaporated!  Wow does time fly whether you're having fun or not.
