Wordless Wednesday – Pink tulip

Yes, some of you have seen this one before, not sure if you saw it cropped though. That is Leon in those jeans behind the tulip.

Happy Anniversary, Leon. . . You survived 33 years with me (well, on the first, you will have.) So, I suppose congratulations on your patience are in order, [...]

Life’s realities

Some of us strive to be the very best, while some of us strive to be our best.Some of us strive to be our best, but only our best at that moment.

Which means some of us strive daily for final edited drafts; others strive for the draft of the moment.

Both can be right, both can [...]

One nice thought -

The sun always comes up! If may only come up for someone else to enjoy today, but it will always come back up for us to bask in its rays soon.

I have an Idea

I have an idea. . . I will give my eyes a much needed and more than well-deserved break from the computer — they have suffered enough abuse. Now, if I can just convince my sometimes obsessive personality to go along with my brain’s plan. . .

Have a great Friday, y’all. [...]

I follow and follow and follow and. . . .

Finally, my four more public blogs have had “no follow” removed, and the pathetic thing: it was a cinch once I remembered to copy the few words to remove and use my find key to find them quickly, duh.

I MAY have posted this before, but computer woes continue and I can’t even scan one in because I broke my CD drive so can’t load the software for the new all-in-one. So, since I LOVE this photo anyway, I am posting it. Taken on the Bremerton to Seattle Pugent Sound Ferry [...]

We Rant – Parking lot design and maintenance

A simple rant today, but important. Would some designers of parking lots please reconsider their jobs? While they are reconsidering theirs, would those in charge of line maintenance please reconsider theirs as well? At least reconsider the responsibilities you have to public safety.Parking lot maintenance: We won’t even discuss giant potholes. [...]

Life’s realities

We can make a difference, sometimes without trying, sometimes with more effort than we think we can give, but we can. Sometimes no one will notice, but that’s OK, as long as we made a difference. Sometimes only the one person we made a difference to will notice, but that’s OK, as long [...]

One nice thought!

Story tellers, artists, musicians, writers, poets, builders, and other people with imagination and the wherewithal to create their dreams all make life more beautiful for us, but it is every smile from every human being toward another that is the true art and building block behind and for humanity. The nice thought for today, [...]

If I were. . . but I am. . . .

If I were a dog, I would spend my time digging to China and then sprawl in the coolness of the dirt I had just excavated, although I would not think the word excavate. . . .

If I were a cat, I would rule my household differently than I do now. I would [...]
