I have a worker/friend, here fixing the gate , going out to the road--- filling in the holes where the gate meets the fence--- He is doing a great job and the Chihuahua now cannot get out to the road---He brought us a jar of maple syrup--The syrup is till warm--right from where they were boiling the sap---That will be such a treat!
How is your day going?-- How are you this day?--What's new Honeydew? What's up buttercup? Remember the "sayings" we used to use and then laugh and laugh?
So. time for lunch--- then a nap--with my Kindle--I need a new book--Any suggestions?-- Every book I pick up to read right now, I cannot get interested in it--
Remember-- Patience is a virtue--- (Mom always did that!)---I believe her verse went--- "Patience is a virtue, -Possess it if you can, -It's often found in Women, -but never in a man!--(not saying too much for men there!)-------STRONG--- Women must be strong--After all, we hold up half the sky--
Great blog, Lynda. Just saved the Doc's quote to share.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to have friends to help? And family, of course.
Beau is aging. The visitors are harder on you and Himself, who are also aging. You know the stress is also affecting Beau.
I had a wonderful HUGE Yamaha keyboard, but I gave it to my grandson. It was just too big for my space.
Got a newsletter yesterday (I believe from AARP) that suggested some Irish books. I haven't looked them up yet, but the 2 that interested me the most are titled, "Small Things Like These," and (my gel pen smeared), "The Queen of Dirty Sand'. That title doesn't come up, though. Lots of great books are shown if you search, "books by Irish authors."
I woke up so early this morning that I'm almost ready for a nap. Lucky wants to play, though.
Sadie may do a bit around here later today.
Though I know you love them, I am sure you will be happy for your guests to return home.
☘️🍀May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more.

Yes I never knew that too much chaos cannot be handled by dogs even--I know its hard on people-- cute Irish poem--I must remember it!-- die never got here to-day--tough to have her with 4 dogs--LOL--At least Himself was OK to-day--=well --sorta OK-Lynda
DeleteFound the book title...just looked in my history! It's "The Queen of Dirt Island."
ReplyDeleteK--I'll look for that book--I need a good book to get my mind off everything--LOL--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I love the Dr. Seuss quote. I used to love reading Dr. Seuss to my children. The rhyming so clever! I'm glad big Beau is feeling better. My Daisy didn't eat this morning - not sure what's up with her! Kind of a hectic day for me today - way too much to do and too many problems to handle. One thing at a time, I keep telling myself! I'd like to escape into a book today - maybe tonight! Have a good day and enjoy your quiet time.
ReplyDeleteOh no--too many problems for you to handle--That is the worst isn't it?--I hope that you managed to handle it all--I hear tht the Ticks re out--That means another trip to the vet for Tick med--LOL--- Cool day to-day here-- and all is well--now-=LOL--Lynda
DeleteAging takes a toll on man and beast - praying for both!
ReplyDeleteDeb-Bless yer heart-- yes, tough to get old --- Hugs my dear friend-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, Dr.Seuss has it right. Thanks for your blog and great inserts. You make my day. Admire your strength and love your positivity.
ReplyDeleteHoping Beau bounces back when the other dogs leave. Poor Beau has his routine upset, you too.
No more Lopez escape yay. Fresh maple syrup sounds delightful. I'm glad you have friend who can help you as needed.
Please play the piano for the pups. It must sound perfect when the tuner leaves.
We awoke to tornado sirens this morning in St.Louis. Thankfully just bouts of heavy rain and wind. It's been too warm here and tornadoes are the result.
No hair day today?
Relax this afternoon...a nap, book, music..whatever you choose.
Hugs and blessings
Marge
Oh Marge--- I'm not always positive--but--- life is better if I am--LOL-- Tornado sirens--that would freak me out! -It was a lovely day to-day, but I hear the weekend will have messy wether--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Glad Beau is feeling some better. I guess he'll be glad when company goes home! I remember a lot of those sayings from back in the day! Hope you don't get any more snow this year. Our weather this weekend is supposed to be miserable - rain and perhaps some flurries. But yesterday an absolutely gorgeous day. Hope you find a book you like. Hanve a good night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteWe have snow predicted for the weekend--Terrible eh?---- 2 more days with 4 dogs-- Lynda
DeleteOh my! Getting your fence fixed AND fresh maple syrup! YUMMMMM!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, for sure, music would make the cows happy!
Glad that Beau is feeling a little better and eating. Sounds like he will be even better after the 2 pooches return to their home! Dogs are sensitive to their routine and environment. Change is hard for them, just like for us!
Hope you got to read! Relaxing
Hugs

Barb I never new that dogs would not do well if their environment was different--I did not want to give him the prednisone-but it has settlerd him down-Lynda
DeleteDr. Suess books were some of the favorites of my Kindergarten students. I used read to them every day! And we celebrated Dr. Suess's birthday every year in March! I have a plaque on my wall attributed to Dr. Suess "Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened!" Got it after my DH passed. A good reminder to be grateful for what we have or had. And my cats love music! There is a station on YouTube TV that plays relaxing music for cats - called Cats love Music! I put it on the television whenever I have to leave my cats alone for over a couple of hours. I think they have a station for dogs too - maybe it would be soothing to Beau if you have YouTube TV.....I don't have a subscription, it is just free if you have a Smart TV. Crazy weather day here today....lots of thunderstorms, tornado warnings, hail and high winds! My weather station radio has gone off at least 15 times with warnings - and no Jeopardy on TV today because the station is doing extended weather alerts all evening! I love to watch Jeopardy every day!
ReplyDeleteI do have a smart TV Sandra----What do they call that station?--Sounds like fun--Lynda
DeleteDogs and music - that’s a good life! Glad Beau is feeling better. ~ALICIA363
ReplyDeleteMy book suggestion: "No Two Persons" by Erica Bauermeister. It's a novel about how reading the same book affects different people.
