                above---  Son#2 the Pilot---  driving home, with his 2 daughters sound asleep-

Life should be lived with a certain pride--I hope that you place a certain value on yourself--Life can be a great bundle of little things--Keep the home fires burning--Oh--and floss your teeth--Even when you have pains, you don't have to be a pain--and if you know nothing-say nothing---and never be ashamed to fail--so so much advice----   a new day ---to get it right---

                

                        Just remember---You can never go wrong, keeping your mouth shut--

Be responsible for your own happiness.

Yes --Women CAN be strong--be smart--be sexy,  be mothers --be wives,  and be powerful--It is Tuesday, April 25th---and WE ARE A PART OF TO_DAY_

_Push your life to a higher level--Be the first to forgive--Enjoy the life you are given--Nothing of value is lost by taking your time--So so much to think about isn't there?

I see the sun, sorta hiding behind a few clouds-but--no snow is falling---and I can even see some sun coming out -

-  It is a brand new day, and we are a part of it--

To-day is Monday, April the 20th--no rain falling now--(I think!)--but it was raining earlier--NO SNOW FALLING--(YEAH!!!)--Hopefully I can get to the grocery store--early---The wash is done--ready to hit the dryer--What on earth would I do without the wash machine and dryer in the kitchen here--???---I must turn up the fire-- (Stoke the fire--LOL--as we used to say--cold on the floor)------I shall return in a bit--Remember, to be good to-day is easy--to be great, is difficult--and--to-day, I shall, let life happen.

Lopez is up---waiting to go out--

I shall return---

So, I dd make it to the grocery store--and have put it all way--  The store was practically empty-- which was so good!--so much easier to shop when no=-one is in the store--So--  Are you happy to-day?--
