Talk to your children--and hug your pets-

        Good Morning--Another new day--and another few thoughts----It is Thursday, September the 10th--only 11 C. outside-- much cooler than it has been--"Hair Day"--however--- Sushi sand I are up----just!

The wash is now in the dryer--VERY dark outside yet--I must go back up and get Lopez up----as soon as I turn up the heat---I shall return--And guess what?--  It seems very "muggy" downstairs here on the main level--so-- guess what?--Now the AC is running--Decisions decisions eh??--Every morning ,  AC or windows open??---

        Allison just called from OHIO--said her AC is on also--

    She is raising her new puppy, "Kody". who they picked up in Michigan---She keeps telling me how much work a new puppy is-

                So-Words I wish I had thought of long ago---

#1.Little things can mean a lot.

#2.The test of someone's breeding, is how she behaves in a quarrel.

#3.Hang onto your dreams.

#4.He enjoys life who makes others enjoy it.

                

               

AND------BLASTS FROM THE PAST

        Below---  Ava and her friend-many moons ago--

                                        Timmy and hs family

Below--Hannah and Emma--Cousins--both in University

            

and below--is wee Charlee, with all her little people!

                                above---4 dogs on a dock, on Dunlop

So, a new day has begun--Son#2 just called--said school is back in--He is talking about me returning to the Regency in Lake field for a couple of months in the new year--to get away from the snow--something to think about--

So--Are you happy and you know it??--Can you clap your hands?--Are you ready to face a brand new day?-We do not have much choice do we?--We are alive--The sun is sorta out--Did you know that our current life is our future generation's history?-(something to think about)----I hope to-day that you allow yourself to have some fun--Hug your children and be ever so kind to your pets--They are trying  very hard to help you --Just remember that no-one is ever really normal--just do you best--Oh-----and--------BIG HUGS to you all--  Now get going!

Another day, Another dollar---

 It is Wednesday September 9th-dark-- I have to turn up some heat--get the washer going--pretty chilly on the main floor--then  I must go up and get Lopez---so--I shall return--Okay--  Lopez is down here I have some heat  going--

Did you have a good sleep last night?--I had changed the huge King sized bed yesterday so last night was a  great sleep--hard to climb out when one is so cozy--

So I am back after many trips upstairs to feed Sushi , the cat who came in from the cold, many many years ago--AND----  I have taken the 14 hundred pills-- (many vitamins)--not easy to do-

This AM., I am heading to City Hall, to arrange for Fred's ashes to be put in the cemetery--in a wall--I feel, him being a Doctor, he would appreciate that--

                    So, Words I wish I had thought of --

#1.Hang onto your dreams-

#2. Divide your grief by sharing it with a friend.

#3.Love makes most people stronger together than if they were separate.

#4.To live a full life, you cannot live it half dead.

                                Blasts from the past---

I must  get off of here--get on with this day--  so hard to keep moving , when it is dark, isn't it?--I hope that your day will be great--  We must make it that way--Remember to listen much and speak little--Try to smile all day--and remember to praise others for a job well done--Again----"Listen much and speak little-"---always make your bed--Stay faithful to yourself---and try to not cry, all day--You are special---Always remember that--and---  Love your children to the moon and back-and  be kind to your pets--- Oh--and-

                        BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL!

It is still dark here--Lopez is on my sofa---was awake-- Sushi upstairs , still in bed---Again, it is another morning--"Do I turn up the heat, or do I turn on the AC?-"---Both sorta happened--Right now the AC is flying away upstairs. And it is son#4's Birthday to-day--I had to text him to ask, "Is to-day garbage day?"----and guess what?  It is--so, I will drag that to the road--later----The wash is done--so I must get it into the dryer--Mornings are pretty busy aren't they?--And so far, no cat or dog is fed --yet----

                             Words I wish I had written-

        #1.A person cannot be totally happy or totally sad.

        #2.Don't let anyone intimidate you.

        #3.Each day, set aside for a little fun.

        #4.When you're angry, count to ten.

    So, so much to remember, in't there?--But everyday, we try--

        Above--probably one of our dogs----long ago--on the sofa!

So--on with the day--so many memories  from long ago--  "Those memories keep us going to-day--don't they?----
