I will dress up, show up, and never give up!

Good Morning---It is a new month--Sunday, February the 1st-- one month closer to Spring!!--Yeah!!!!! Son #1 is  somewhere over near Gaza----warm he says--I hope he gets out of there soon.-I am up-so is Lopez--  and am going for brunch with Dave , my friend--I will have to start the car soon--  but--I SHALL RETURN__Meanwhile, Son#2 sent a couple of pictures for you all to see where he is-

Just look at all the sand--a beautiful beach--and their day really has begun--lotza action over there already!--And of course, Son #2's breakfast--which. of course, is quite hearty--and healthy--

            I must  get off of here for now---  but--I shall  return--meanwhile_   A few "Blasts from the past---
                   Above-- Emma and myself--
                           Allison with Willow 
                and Miss Princess Hannah  with Cole

                            Memories are made of these!!!!

                        Wise words I wish I had written-below--

#1. Timing is everything! 

#2.-Invest heavily in yourself and  

#3.Ask for what you want

So, another day to watch the news--I certainly do not like to listen to Trump--His ideas do not seem very  normal--Is it just me who thinks this??--

I must carry on--The wash needs to get into the dryer--  Lopez shud go out into the pen into the freezing air--(Poor fellow)-----and I must get on with the day here--  I hope that your day is going well--I hope that yu are happy--and try to be strong--Lord love a Duck!! -Just remember--

  1. Good morning, Lynda! It is 7 degrees in Ohio and sunny. Poor little Lopez. My yorkie brats are pad trained but messy so no good way I guess. So, you have two sons out of the country. Son 1 and 2. The pics are always so nice. I have NEVER been a Trump fan!!! Enjoy your Sunday. Our fave day. Hugs!

  2. Good Morning,
    Happy February 1st. It's still cold here and the meteorologists are predicting these cold temperatures for at least another week. We are in a deep freeze, with a chance of snow on Tuesday.
    Son #2 gets to travel all over being a pilot. Not sure I would want to be near Gaza right now. I am sure you worry about him. His breakfast looks interesting.
    Have a nice brunch with Dave.
    Poor little Lopez, he might get lost in a snow drift, he's so small.
    Stay warm and have a great day!

    1. Jackie it is so so cold here-- the coldest winter I can ever remember-Yes I worry about the Pilot guy---He says there is a "safe" room on every floor of his hotel--made of concrete--tells men something-- Won't it be nice when it is summer?-Lynda--

  3. Hi Lynda,
    Same old same old from St.Louis. Single digit temps and 9 inches of frozen snow on the ground. I don't like getting out but made a banana run for my himself. The cold continues. Don't like it.
    Enjoy your brunch with Dave. Seems you have things to talk about although you see him often.
    Don't think I'd want to be in Gaza. Hppe son gets out soon.
    Willow was such a big, beautiful dog.
    Enjoy your day.
    Warm hugs
    Marge

  4. We who live in the Western US have missed out on those cold temps and snow, and are worried about water and fires. I was out protesting the Trump/Miller Regime yesterday and we have weather in the 40’s F. With temps in the 50’s expected this week. Love missing winter, but we need precipitation.
    I hope your son gets out of the Middle East soon. Trump has been rattling his sword at Iran, so it is a worry. I hope Matt can get that particular part of the world off his schedule.
    Enjoy your brunch. It is good to get out and be around people.

  6. Good morning, sis.

    Gaza looks amazing. And the enormous breakfast! Wow!

    Emma, Sllison, Hannah, Willow and Cole are beautiful. That fluffy, furry dog looks like he was born for cold weather.

    It's good that you're having brunch with Dave.

    We had MORE SNOW last night. The car and lot are covered by several inches again. When they plow the lot they pile up the snow behind our cars. Then we have to fight to get in, clear off the cars and move them past that pile of snow so the lot can be cleared better. You know the routine.

    I plan to get laundry done today. It all depends on how full the laundry room is how much I get done.

    Yes, get up, dress up, show up...and think happy thoughts. That's my plan.

    I'll check back later, Lynda. When I did that last night, there were no comments to read. You are a busy lady! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  7. It's Marti. I feel very fortunate to have a garage. It's not the 2 car garage I used to have, but it's a garage. I used to hate cleaning snow and ice off my car back when I lived in an apartment, and told myself "never again," if I can help it.

  9. Well, wish your son #1 safety! And son #2. Looks beautiful, though. His breakfast looks spectacular! LOVE the blasts from the past. Hannah really get into the Princess theme, didn’t she. Adorable.

    Yes, definitely have to ask for what you want and invest heavily in yourself!

    OMG, NOOOOOO!!! There are MANY protesting his immigration tactics. They are cruel and inhumane. No 2 ways about it. and his policies in general are NOT for the benefit of us constituents. Never has been, never will be. It’s frankly disgusting and distressing.

    Ok, there you have it. Now stepping off the step stool.

    Have a good brunch. And stay warm.

    HUGS and blessings
