Tuesday SOL 8/29/17 - Currently

I've been procrastinating all day or maybe it's just that nothing came to mind to write so, I'll try my "go to" when my fingers just don't know what to type.

Currently

Thinking/Feeling - My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people in Texas and Louisiana as they struggle with the over abundance of rain.  I cannot imagine all that they are going through.  I feel sad and frustrated that there is nothing we can do we stop the rain.

Listening - This morning as I sat on the porch, I heard the birds singing their favorite tunes, the cows mooing their morning conversation and the rooster crowing that it's time to get the day started.  So peaceful.

Enjoying - Our new front porch.  Our house projects are finished and we are content to just sit.

Planning - Our next adventure.  This time we're heading East to Williamsburg, VA and then to visit my special friend in North Carolina and an Air Force buddy of Hubby's outside of Chattanooga in addition to lots of sightseeing.

Loving - My family of friends who we share good food, drinks and fellowship with.  They make life enjoyable while my family is 10 hours away.

    What a great post when nothing special comes to mind. This just shows what a full and enriching life you have. Especially like listening to the birds in the morning. They alwasy seem to have a lot to say.

    I love the way you shared your post, Judy, and as you've read mine, you know I'm so concerned about the Texas flooding and those people who've had to leave their homes. I'm glad you have new plans, have finished your house remodeling. Happy Travels.

    Sometimes structure helps writers get their words down! I need to remember this when I have too much to write! It just took me forever to boil down too many thoughts into one short post. I love your system. Enjoy your trip!

    Very nice twist to "currently." It's great to have some sure bets like this in your back pocket for busy times. I find them perfect when I'm at a loss, but want to keep my writing streak going. Safe travels, and continued prayers for our people in TX and LA. -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/

    I love the way you responded in five categories: Thinking/Feeling, Listening, Enjoying, Planning, and Loving. This could serve as a paradigm for SOL Tuesday--especially those who are stumped on what to write!

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

Tuesday SOL - 1/13/15 - Trying "To Do" Retired

Image
Last week was my "first" week of RETIRED.  Humm.... just what does that mean? I can't say that it felt any different.  We just got back from being out of town for 10 days, so it was catch up time.  Picking up Max, unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning up the dead lady bugs that had accumulated on the floor, grocery shopping, mail...  The list seemed endless - retired???? Then a voice mail saying my aunt was in the hospital in Florida.  Many calls trying to figure out what was happening.  Many more calls checking up on her on a daily basis.  Thinks are improving. Now this week, things are slowing down, but how do I wrap my head around being retired?  How do I stop my brain from making my mental "to do list" of things that HAVE to be accomplished?  How do I decide what I REALLY want to do as opposed to what NEEDS to be done and when?  How do I answer people when they ask "what are you going to do now that you're retired?" This is go...
