You think?

I,m wondering this morning..... if we see ourselves as others do. Are we who we think, or are we what others think? Now hold on a second. Bear with me, as there might be a point made here. If you see yourself as kind and generous, but others see you as self serving, who's right? If you think you love openly, but others see you as controling.....who's right? How do we know if we are good or if we are not so good? Should others opinions even matter? Should we care what others think, or just go on doing what we think is right? Im a believer in growth of soul. I believe we should always reach for a higher plane or plain, however you look at it... There are times when I know for sure I am heading down the right road...but other times when anothers view of me, makes me stop and think......what? Did I do that? Did I say that? Was I that wrong? Okay, so whats the answer here... I guess to look honestly in the mirror and see what others see. See the things that yet need to be changed, and at the same time embrace the things that you KNOW are good. We are after all...humans, and being that, we are fallible and make mistakes daily. The object being, to see those errors and fix them. To stop repeating the same old mistakes over and over. Then If you can do that....you can look in the mirror and say...your okay....I like you....Late ta readers...

Tuesday at home

I COULD have gone with a friend to have a zipper put in her jacket. It was a 30 minute drive or more to a women that does zippers. I thought that staying home and cleaning cubboards would be a better thing to do with my time. After all, I was in town yesterday shopping like a mad women and I dont think running around for another day, is a good thing. There are also birds that need feeding and bulbs to plant and flower boxes to clean out....Nough said!
Poor Glor is back in the hospital again. Mc Henry this time though. The bug has returned, as they said was possible. Hopefully they caught it early this time....Poor Gaela too as she has to deal with it all.. Shes great!
Irvs cholesteral is higher and his Dr. wants it lowered. I showed him what is in his creamy dressing, that he likes to drowned his salads in. Maybe just maybe I can get him to eat more sensibly this time. No more cookies and sweets for him either cause his triglycerides are high too. Baked cod tonite and NO french fries!!!! Maybe that tummy will go down too. hahahaha.
What do you mean, mine or his????? BOTH!!!!! Okay I have to start my day. Its getting late and nothing is done yet. You have a wonderful day reader....LATE TA!

soaking Sunday

Gazing out the window, I see rain coming down, and turkeys heading in for their morning feed. The puddles are growing in magnitude as we speak. More to come, so they say. Well at least the fire danger is down now.

I woke with a headache this morning. I also had one of Irv's cousins on my mind, and couldn't sleep. I,m not at all sure what THAT was about. Odd thing, that. Its not someone we ever see or talk about......


My bread turned out real good yesterday. I took some over for Dean and Chris, and I hope they like it. Irv Jr and Tyler stopped in, so I gave him a loaf of vienna I had made a couple days ago. He always saying I never make bread for him. hahahahah. He traded his old truck for a jeep....Hope that works for him....Its good to see tyler more tho. He needs to know we all love him alot....Teens have it harder now, even though they get things given to them. Well alot of them do anyway. More and more parents are not staying together, and more parents have to both work outside the home. Kids dont have the structure that used to be there. There needs to be love, disipline, and responsibility. Kids need a solid base to fall back on.......Drugs are so easy to obtain now. Even your neighbor might sell them. I fear for the future and our kids if something doesn't stop the trends....Maybe back to basics with out kids. Back to some of the old ways....Fathers that help with the raising and loving of the kids, and moms who are not over stressed with work....Homecooked meals with the whole family sitting down at the table once in awhile. Impossible you say? No, just might take some changes, thats all. Kids need more then just a place to sleep. Okay, Im off my soap box now.....Have a wonderful day, Late Ta...

rain and more rain

WE had some strong storms last night and now steady rain falling. Puddles are being created and little rivers of water, cascading along the edge of the yard. The birds love it and Charlie the pheasant is wandering about without a care...The entire area is getting a much needed bath.....Mowing will follow after it all drys, and I almost, not quite look foward to that.
The golfing was fun yesterday. I always love being with Dean and Chris for a day on the course. Dinner after, at the local resturant, was good and we just missed the storms rolling in, when we made it home. I heard some places up north got hit hard. Trees down, ect. The only problem with the warmer days is......the storms come along with them...Our porch is great for sitting and watching the storms if..... they are of the normal variety...Funny thing, Our new digital programming goes in and out during clear weather, but now its raining steady and the picture is perfect!!!!! Go figure!
Im going to make my soy bread today. I figure its a good thing [ says Martha ] on a rainy day. Making bread is a kind of therapy for me, like meditating.. It makes me feel good inside. Of course if one eats too much of that warm bread, with butter running down the sides, its not that good for your outside!!!!!We all need a bit of decadance in our lives though. Just a tiny bit, don't you think? I hope your day is full of good things.....Like warm cookies or hugs from a small child....Late Ta....

Life? Fun isnt it?

Seems like just when we think we have it all figured out, we get a whammy thrown at us. Its like someone is saying....Dont get too comfortable...Life can be warm and wonderful and good, or cold and sad and not so hot. It makes one wonder why? How come things can't just stay the same? When you think about it...that would get boring after awhile, and we would sleep through life. Things have to hit us in the face sometimes, so we stay awake in it....How we deal with the adversity is the key to happiness I think. If we can look at whatever has hit us and say, Okay now lets deal with this. It won't last forever and we will get back to good days...How many treasures are in my life? How much love is there everyday? If I compare the good things to the bad, will it make the bad seem less important? How lucky am I to be part of this universe and all its glory? Even with all the stuff that angers me or hurts me, I am still so fortunate to be alive today. Today I will appreciate the good in my life and tomorrow if bad comes.....I will deal with it! I will fight for my happiness and that of those I love so much...After all.....This is all I have to leave behind when my time here is up. Sometimes when the days are long and the pain is heavy, I force a smile to my face...Then a laugh, then a song....It all becomes contageous and makes me feel better....Im smiling right now.....I love you reader....

Wed.with sun

Morning! The suns out bright and beautiful and I'm headed to the health food store later. Heard about this vitamin that helps cognitive memory. Lord knows we sure could use that! Now where was I? I have to get organized. My brain is fluttering from one thing to another. Guess a list is in order. Did you ever notice that without a list, life is so hectic? I love lists. They keep me from going insane. They organize my thoughts and help me focus on prioritys.
My list on the desk now has 2 things on it. 1. Make more coffee and 2. shower. What are the other 20 numbers for? I forgot! Seems like the older one gets, the fuller the brain gets. Sorta reminds me of this old computer. Theres so much junk in here, even defraging doesnt help. Theres always something running in the background that shouldn't be there. I'm considering buying a new pc to start all over with, but I don't think I can do the same for my brain. So off to the health food store to try this memory pill. Lets see how many gig a bites I get....Late Ta...

This and that!

Morning all....Im looking out the window at a male turkey, strutting his stuff for a few females. His Plumage is in full regalia as he walks back and forth to impress the girls. But of course they like the snobs they are...ignore him completely! We watched " Marley and Me" last night. This is the first time I actually was hoping a dog would go to pet heaven! This movie was so boring, I had to keep my eyes open with super glue. I found myself wondering why these two actors didnt refuse to be part of such trash. Okay, I will admit that the end got to me a smidge, but who sits thru a movie just to get to the end? If you like torture....Watch this movie....
We golfed yesterday, with Irvie and Nate. The weather was so beautiful and it was so nice to be out there again. I started out good. Actually ahead of the men. Had a couple great puts and not bad off the tee buttttttttt.....Got involved with a couple sand traps that made my day turn to a slapstick comedy. I whacked away but the ball kept fallihng back into the sand. Lets just say I acquired a couple tens for those holes, which thru my game off totally....It was still fun,,,, Today its bowling with Irv and ann, nate and hannah, maybe dean and chris, for Irv and anns anniversary. Id rather be outdoors but there will be other times for that. Glors home now from gaelas. Shes recovering nicely. Thank God....That was a bit scary for awhile....
Well Im outta here for now, Take care and be happy...Late Ta....
