I don't need fancy things---just a world that makers sense again!

Good morning It is  the last day of May-Sunday---the 31st --and to-morrow will be JUNE--FINALLY!-- I see sun  away off on the horizon--It is freezing cold in here so I shall have to turn that wee stove I have, up----Lopez and I are down here on the main level, but the wash is NOT in yet--so I must get a few things done and then I shall return-
-This is another morning--"Breakfast with Dave"--at 9:30am----We have lotza blackflies outside now-- which means bug hats sitting by the door, ready to  put on the head--a sign of "Spring"in the North--
 
                        So--"Words I wish I had Written--"
#1.You should not always bail your children out of trouble.
# 2.Eat less-live longer
#3. Honour your Father and  your Mother
#4.Thinking is one of the hardest tasks you can do.
#5. If you cannot tell someone why you are mad at her, then you should not be mad at her.

                        And---- " Blasts From The Past"
                    Below--Allisons son, Jacob, many moons go
                            Below-- Beautiful Elliot Lake
Below--  Fred, with Son#2, the Pilot


Below---in our kitchen--must've been Sunday--
Look at all their smiles!

and-- there they are agin-- one Christmas

Fun at Andrew's Dock--out at Dunlop

Time to stop the dreaming here--get on with the day--So, I hope your day will be happy--Never think that you're not good enough--Remember, you cannot always have things exactly as you wish--It takes a lot of work to make a house a home--So, GO  On! Get offa here and get on with your day-Hang in there--and, face adversity with a smile- to-day--

  1. Good morning, Lynda! Good for you going out to breakfast with Dave. I am just drinking coffee before I turn into a Sadie and get laundry going. It is our favorite day. Let’s make it a good one. It is high 72 and sunny in Ohio. Perfect! Big hugs to you!

  2. Good Morning!
    Boy, your graphic today couldn't be more on point! And that's sad.

  3. Good morning, sis. It's cloudy here, rain on and off, and cooler. The high will only be in the mid 70s.

    The blasts are wonderful. As you say, smiling faces. And the lakes are beautiful. In the one photo, it seems several of the kids are getting ready to jump in the water. Fred doesn't even have a cane in the photo with his son.

    You will enjoy your breakfast with Dave. In fact, you are probably with him as I am typing this.

    I did go to karaoke last night but only sang two songs. Got up on the stage for one of them. It was so tricky getting back down, I decided not to do that again.

    My new air conditioner for the bedroom was delivered. Now I have to prepare the bedroom by moving the stacking drawers by the window. I will have to consolidate other stuff to find a place for them. I am over waking up so sweaty. The air conditioner that comes with the apartment is in the living room and doesn't reach to the bedroom.

    I will get offa here now and eat breakfast. I always come back in the evening to check replies and see what's up. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  4. Good morning Lynda, going out to have brunch with Dave is a great way to begin your Sunday. The laundry can wait. Sorry about the blackflies. I hope there aren't as many to deal with as those you had when you lived at the lake in the big house. I hope Gil's wife has recovered so that he can return to your house and get the tree roots covered and the yard ready for planting. Enjoy the remainder of your day. Who is the lady standing next to you when the family is gathered in the kitchen for Christmas?

  6. It's Kathy. I absolutely agree with the first meme! I want the world to make sense once more. This world we are living in is not the world we grew up with! I wonder if my grandparents felt the same way being born in the later 1800's and very early 1900's. All the new inventions they must have seen! My grandfather was a photographer for the Minneapolis newspaper - I found some of his photos years ago and what he must have seen! Love your 5 suggestions - especially #5. Enjoy your breakfast with Dave. Tom and I are staying close to home today, that makes little Daisy happy!
