I hope something beautiful happens to you to-day--





                                               Good Morning--

                                    To-day is Friday, July 3rd--

Lopez and I are up and -at-er here-- freezing cold in here--the AC is running-- looks a lot like rain outside--kinda dark still--The washer is chugging away--Lopez is on the sofa--I really hope  that we do "NOT" lose power to-day--oh-- I do see that this afternoon, we will have rain--That might cool the temperatures down--I hope! Right now it looks like a storm is about to hit us--kind of dark out there--

                            Words I wish I had written--
#1. When a marriage works, nothing on earth can take its place.
#2. It isn't the whistle that pulls the train.
#3.Long faces make short lives.
#4.Don't let being tired stop you.

                            and-Blasts from the past--
                            below-- Son#3, Fred, and me


 Below---Did you ever see so many water toys along the shore??--
                    oh my goodness--The whole family below
                        below--Fred, Me and Andie
                    above--Me--with Andrew, #1 son,   as a baby

Time to put the  wash into the dryer--It is still looking like a storm about to hit us--I best get off of here before we lose power--I hope your day is absolutely fabulous--Refuse to be negative to-day--Be   happy--Let love be the only thing you do in excess-and give yourself plenty of time to play--and--try--to -Be happy--__and----- BIG HUGS---

  1. Happy Friday Lynda,
    It's still hot and humid here today with an expected high of 94F. We also have rain chances for the next few days with gusty winds, heavy downpours and thunderstorms. Hopefully, not too bad.
    I am traveling to visit my Mom and brother tomorrow and my hubby is out of town so it will just be me going. I am not looking forward to the 5 hour round trip drive, hubby usually drives, especially if the weather is bad. But, it will be nice to visit most of my family. My sister isn't able to meet up as she and her hubby had something else scheduled.
    The fireworks in our neighborhood have already starting going off for 4th of July. Not so great for wildlife and pets. There are several major fireworks displays around the area scheduled for tomorrow night. But, I hope to be home by then as I am sure the traffic will be bad.

    Enjoyed all the pictures as always. Have a fantastic Friday!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

  2. It's Kathy. Another dreary day here - more rain overnight and possibly more to come. I've been okay with not going outside. Love the photo of you with your first little one. How quickly they grow up! Nothing much planned for the holiday tomorrow and I'm okay with that. Have a wonderful day.

    I I was able to sleep in and then I just got busy with projects I totally forgot to check the computer wonderful words you should have written
    as usual great pictures I am envious of the closeness among your family a women's work is never fully done but I feel this is what keeps us going

  4. Hi Lynda, it seems you're having a lot of hot weather. I can't remember when you had mild weather. It's almost like you went from extreme cold/freezing to very warm. You're a busy bee, but I think you prefer to keep busy. Did Gil finish your deck? You haven't sent a photo of it. All the photos today are wonderful. I remember the days when you lived in the big house and all of your family member came to enjoy the lake and you had to make lunch for everyone. Enjoy your day. Perhaps you've found a good book to read.
