Tuesday SOL 1/31/17 - Waiting & Anticipation

Sometimes I feel like a kid - waiting and anticipating for something special to happen - Christmas, birthdays, last day of school, reaching a special age.  The list is endless of what kids wait for and anticipate.  But as an adult, I too have to wait and anticipate - vacations, home improvements, reaching a milestone birthday. spring....

Today I'm waiting/anticipating a call from our cabinet man to install two pantry cabinets in my kitchen and move my refrigerator to a better spot.  Today I'm waiting/anticipating Saturday when we fly to Sacramento for a week's stay in Angels Camp to enjoy someplace we've never been.  I'm anticipating lots of wine tastings, good food, beautiful scenery and hopefully warmer temps (although from the weather station, that's not looking very good).

I'm just as antsy as a kid, waiting for something special to happen.

    May your upcoming trip be all you hope for! For me, anticipation is a big part of the overall pleasure of planned events / activities.

    I think sometimes in life we are so busy we get frustrated with waiting or something not happening on our timeline. I think by changing our thought process and "anticipating" something good coming up can make a positive change in our lives when everything else seems so rushed and busy! Have fun on your trip!

    Anticipation is good for the soul -- the waiting for JOY!

    The kid inside you keeps you young. Hopefully the days before Saturday go fast. Enjoy your trip.

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
