Have the courage to pursue your dreams-

Good Morning on this Sunday, May 17th-- We have sunshine--  and Hummingbirds--and guess what?------- We have Spring!!--Finally-

-We can now chant, --"Spring has Sprung, the grass has riz--I wonder where the boidies iz-?---The Boid iz on the wing--But thats absoid--I thought the wing waz on the Boid!"--

I am having breakfast with my friend , Dave , this morning, so I must keep moving  here--get the washing in--and get Lopez out and around the block, before I go-

To-day, I hope you do not take life (or death) too seriously--make decisions based on the whole picture--Be patient---Patience can wait for anything! --Trust your instincts--

                                Words I wish I had written

#1.Find joy in what you have

#2.Keep life simple

#3.Stick to your guns

#4. Reaching old age is a form of winning

                                    Blasts from the past--

Grandchildren many moons ago--Ethan, Ava Charlee, Andie and Emma 

Very old pic below-Allison, John (Matt's friend) and Matt, the Pilot

Above-Matt and his wife Erin with Hannah (far rt) and her friend on her left

                    Matt the pilot with Charlee, Son#1's daughter

                  Jacob and Ethan, cousins-- on the beach at Elliot Lake

    and-of course---  Son#1 with his Dad, the man I married--

So--another day---another dollar--I hope your day will be special-- Make it that way if you can--Remember-It's no good running if you are on the wrong road----When you talk to someone, figure out_whether she wants to listen or talk more--and, think to-day-and speak to-morrow---Remember--all our dreams can come true--if we can have the courage to pursue them-

    Good morning! It is 75 in Ohio. I am happy that Spring has finally sprung for you and you have hummingbirds again. I have laundry to do, also. Enjoy your breakfast with Dave. I shall finish my coffee and get things done. I may go for a protein iced coffee in the early afternoon. Such cute pics. Have a beautiful day. It’s our fave. Hugs and ice cream!

      Yes, the warm weather is very nice! Yay! Looking forward to our ice cream! Sophia will do great in the writing contest. I think she did one last year, too. Enjoy your hummingbirds.

    Glad you finally are having some warmer spring weather! It is supposed to be in the high 80's here today. That means it will probably be humid...as we had a mostly rainy day yesterday. Need to mow, but will be too wet. Two of my grandkids came over Friday and helped me with some yard work! Was wonderful to have help! I go from being "overwhelmed" with the upkeep at this house to being "overjoyed" at how beautiful is is when the work is done. (Actually, the work is never done hahahaha! - Just like housework....we get it done and then have to do clean again!). But I am not complaining as I know that I am enjoying good health because I keep moving and doing everything that I can, and of course, I am keeping up with my yoga classes too! I'm off to change the sheets on my king bed - ugh! But will enjoy those fresh sheets tonight!

    Good Morning!
    We have sunshine here too! The birds are singing and it's going to be nice day with temperatures to hit close to 80F.
    Glad you are starting to see warmer weather too.

    Enjoy your Sunday breakfast with Dave. And enjoy that sunshine you have there today!

    Hugs,

    Good morning Lynda, your routine, since returning from Lakefield, is in full swing, with you and Dave having breakfast and conversation. Have you hung any hummingbird feeders outside yet? I hope your day is enjoyable.

    It's Kathy again catching up. I'm happy to hear that spring has finally arrived at your home. Today (Tuesday) we are having some pretty cold weather - also very dreary outside. I was suppose to go to the gym but I just couldn't make my body do it! I think I may have to cancel anyway - Tom needs some teeth pulled and reconstructive dental work done - very pricey!
