Never, never, never give up-------



I am up but it was hard to put the feet onto the floor--so dark----and kinda cold in here--to-day is Monday, October 19th---about 5-30am--Lopez and I are up--Sushi still fast asleep upstairs---- Of course, the wash  is in. I hear the washer  chugging away  in the kitchen, behind me--
                            Words I wish I had written--below---
                            #1. Welcome change
                            #2.He who looks behind will never get ahead.
                            #3.Get up and go.
                            #4.Do not think small.
                            #5.Dump your unwanted baggage

                                   and--Blasts from the past
                                Our grown children-below
                            Beau with his Ball on the Dock, below


            Son#2 , the Pilot, with his wife and Gerrard, their son
                                on the way to the dock below
                        Below--Allison with her 2 children
I must keep moving on here--a brand new day--ahead of us-I think I am over that flu---on the last of the meds--Did any of you get that flu bug?--It kinds zaps your energy--So, remember----
I hope your day will be special in every way-Never , never, never, give up--Keep your children close--It is harder than we remember to be a child--love them to the moon sand back--and never forget to talk to your pets--Enjoy this day-It only comes once.--oh------and---------
                            BIG HUGS TO  YOU ALL!

  3. Good morning! Happy Monday, Lynda! It is high 66 and sunny in Ohio! It is my husband’s birthday so we are going out shopping and dinner. I love the pic of sweet Beau on the dock! That is precious! Gerrard, the son. LOL! We love them like children, for sure. I hope you are feeling better. What are your plans today? Hope it’s a great day! Big hugs!

  4. Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. I love that photo of your 5 children - you have such a great family. It's been years since my 5 have been in the same place at the same time - I hope it happens BEFORE my funeral! We'll see. Today I have another acupuncture treatment.although the pain in my leg has mysteriously disappeared. That's great news. I sure didn't want to get up today! It was so nice and warm in bed. But Daisy needed to go out, so mom had to get up! She goes in for her check up tomorrow - she will NOT be happy with us! I hope you have a really good day.n. Tom offered to drive me to the doctor this morning - I sure appreciate that.

  6. Hi Lynda, happy Monday. I love the photo of Beau on the dock, the gorgeous flowers and the tranquil lake. As I was looking at the photo showing your property, I was amazed at how much outside yard work you had when you lived in the big house. Very nice photo of your five children.
