SOL #23 – 3/23/12 – Time to Head North


               
 The suitcase came out
            Max looks questioningly – Where are “WE” going?
Sorry Max, you’re staying home with Dad
            Max wags his tail in thanks
The clothes are packed
            The laptop is in the bag
Got my vitamins
            Maybe I need extra ones for energy
Got my book (don’t need extra, Michelle’s got plenty)
            Got audio books for the road
Got my yarn for crocheting
            Won’t have time for other crafts
Everything’s in the car
            Hubby checked the oil and tire pressure
It’s 5:00 a.m.
            Time to leave
Only ten hours           
            With several stops along the way
A long way
            But, at the end of the road
                                  Kids and Granddaughters await my arrival.

    Ha! I wrote a poem today too about you coming! A perfect pair!

    Be safe, my momma! See in now 9 hours! A long day, a long drive, but a long hug will be waiting for you!

    Have a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to more posts about the same event! And, really nice you don't have to pack extra books! They take up a lot of room.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
