SmiIe because you deserve to--




Good morning--To-day is Thursday, July 16th-- no sun---  not as much smokey air--which is good--  but--I can still smell the smoke and I see the air is whitish, outside.--I just had a call from Allison in Ohio, and she says that smokey air is now over them--She can smell it--  Her air quality , she says , is bad--I suggested she wear a mask if going out--She also asked me to put out the fires up here--I wish I could!--Well, I just walked Lopez--around the block--He did his business--It is still very hot outside--and a tad smokey-

                                    Words I wish I had written--
#1. If you know how to live well, a lifetime is enough-
#2.-Remember kind things that have been done for you.
#3. Love what you do.
#4.The fellow who blows his horn the loudest is likely in the biggest fog.

above---  only the dogs on the dock

the gate  --our old home--




My favourite cartoon of all time--I LOVE IT!!!-I just had to send you this!!!
Below--Lopez and Lola-- cousins--(LOL)
Time to stop the shenanigans and get on with the day--Make it a good day--  You might as well. because we are a part of to-day, anyway--Your happiness is the result of your own effort--Remember that! The world you live in is created by your own mind--Successful people are successful because they believe they are----Oh--I nearly forgot-
  BIG HUGS to you all--

  1. Good morning Lynda,
    It is so good to hear from you. I read your blogs but some days I just don't comment. I miss your blogs. Sparkguy sent a message to people who was on Sparkpeople and he is trying to get it started up again! If he does I will let you know.
    Dan & I are just bumping along. We still have a garden and I still am walking. Still have 10# to loose and still living at the same house for the last 50 years. We are getting estimates on having our house painted. We had siding put on years ago but the sun bleached it and it needs to be painted. Ugg, it never ends.
    We are getting smoke from the fires also and we are under an air quality alert also. It has been hot and humid here for the last week or so.
    I know you must be happy being back home, where you can still see your beloved lake and having family so close.
    I think of you often, and hope you are still playing your piano.
    Take care and keep smiling

  2. Smiling. Mom always said you weren’t dressed til you had your smile on. She was/is right!

    Oh we are sharing that smoky air. Smells like a campfire. INSIDE for sure. Unhealthy air quality.

    Allison’s kids look just like her! Beautiful.

    And love the goofy grandkids! Makes ya smile, doesn’t it!

    Stay safe.

    hugs

  3. Good morning, Lynda! Allison is so right! Smokey here in Ohio! My husband told me to stay in today! I guess I will be Sadie and clean. Then, I will read. Yes, please put out the fires. Lol! Big hugs!

  4. Good morning Lynda, the wildfire smoke from Canada is drifting over the northeastern part of the United States and several health advisories are being issued for those living in the States being impacted. Beginning tomorrow, the weather here is suppose to drop to the mid 80s, which will be a welcome relief. Last night at 9:30, it was 82 degrees which is 27.7 celsius. Do you still get your hair done on Thursdays? I hope you continue to do well.
