Tuesday SOL 7/12/16 - How quickly time passes!



It's been a year!  One whole year!
We sold the log home
Bought another
Packed
Moved

During that "short" year, we've
unpacked
settled in
put in new carpeting
and flooring
redid the master bathroom 
added wood to several walls
created this house to be
OUR HOME




We've made new friends
Bask in the peaceful atmosphere
Enjoy the serenity 
of the pond, 
the sounds of the cows and chickens,
Enjoy the antics of the rabbits
Miss our herd of deer.

It's been a year!
One Whole Year!

    I know what you mean. It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. My kids are growing so fast it's hard to keep up! :)

    It is amazing how quickly time passes as we age. As a kid, time seemed to go on forever. Now I say, "It's Wednesday. Tinme to get the garbage ready. Where did the past week go?"

    Love that you put "OUR HOME" in capital letters. Year has passed quickly but clearly it has been a rich year to make the new place feel like home.

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...
