back to gentler times

it's Time Life  60's love songs on tv, we were much younger then and worries, well  they were nothing  as compared to today's world.  So yes, I have somewhat dated myself but that's ok.

The old songs are a reason to smile.   These days we need reasons to smile.

So how are you doing with staying at home?  What are you doing to keep busy?

always, always

thankful,

grateful 

and

blessed

take care

behind the patio hedge

life goes on at a slower place.  Finding new ways for every day routines. well it is interesting especially when everything is at home.   No more 'we're out of....' and just go to the store.

In this corner of the world it is the start of spring.  The extra hours of daylight are a bonus.  I've been planting seeds indoors for this year's patio garden. 

We missed our weekly family lunch with our daughter and grandsons.   They're safely at home.   Maybe we should plan a video chat lunch date.

remember...keep your distance,  stay safe  and healthy!

so here we are....

March 20th, 2020........the first day of Spring (yeah!!)   and most everything else (boo!!!!)

It is hard to keep perspective with the virus spreading and everything is uncharted territory.

Keep connected with friends and family.  

Thank goodness for emails.

Keep busy at home.

Read a book, pull out unfinished projects,

try a new recipe.

and always, always,

be thankful,

grateful

and blessed.

stay healthy and safe.

bring on the sunshine

These days finding reasons to smile, well sometimes are fewer and father apart. 

Spring IS right around the corner.  The weatherman is promising sunshine this week and milder
temperatures.

And this morning I can across this quote:

"Everyone should be taught to sew, not merely for the sake

 of making something, but as an accomplishment which may prove

a stabilizer in time of perplexity or distress.

Many a time when I need to hold myself firmly,

I have taken up a needle - a sewing needle, some knitting needles, 

or a crochet hook.  Whatever its form or purpose, it often

proved to be as the needle of a compass,

keeping me to the course."

- First Lady Grace Coolidge

To this quote add spindles for spinning and the compass course is easily charted.

Keep calm and carry on.
