Tuesday SOL 2/27/18 - Our Next Journey

We have always taken a week to travel in the winter months and get away from the cold.  We traveled to Florida for many years, but since my Aunt passed away, we decided to try other parts of the country.

Several years ago to Las Vegas where we made the decision to purchase a time share.  Good, bad, otherwise.  Well, it's been all of that.  But last year we enjoyed a week in Angel's Camp, CA and this year we're traveling to New Bern, NC.

Hopefully we'll find warmers temps, but if not, we'll enjoy seeing new places and investigating the Outer Banks.  And while we're there, we will visit a 95 year old friend.  She has been living with her daughter, but just this week she has moved into a Senior Apartment/Assisted Living.  So we'll get to see her new abode and have lunch with her.  Then we'll stop in Asheville, NC and meet up with Len's cousin and his wife.  They sold their home in TX and have purchased land just south of Asheville.  We will only have a day with them before we have to pick up our neighbor just south of Nashville.

We'll drop her off on the way east.  She'll be visiting with her son and his family in Birmingham.

So with all the traveling, I'll have to make sure I have access to internet to start the March challenge.

Looking forward to many slices.

    OH! OH! OH! I love the Outer Banks. I have so many memories -- camping in tents on Hatteras before the bridges were built and we had to take the WWII landing craft like a ferry between islands.... of climbing the Hatteras lighthouse every morning with my brothers.... of crabbing, fishing, clamming... Have fun visiting everyone and seeing new places. Safe travels!

    What an enjoyable trip you have planned! Enjoy every minute! I'm always amazed at how much our country has to offer -- so much to see and do. Happy to hear you'll be visiting friends and relatives. Say hi to everyone for us! Best of luck finding that internet access .. and if not, no worries. Do the best you can, Mom! I just love that you are on this journey with me! :) Safe travels. Love you.

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...
