PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

Hello to Aw...Mondays . My friend Carole recently shared something. She said people spend too much time on their phones and ended with this message, put your damn phone down! Everywhere we go, people  with faces buried looking at  their phones.Look at life, your hubby or wife, your kids, grands and friends.Smile at a stranger. Please put your phone down while driving

This boy is on vacation in Cheese Country, otherwise known as Wisconsin. He told me one day to put my phone down and talk to him.  Goodbye phone, hello Harrison. I miss him already.

Harrison is warming up to the idea that in December, he will be a big brother. No pink ribbons there, another blue bundle of joy. Waiting on the name. They know I love Harley but they will have to find the perfect one. Love is...sums this up nicely.

HaHaHa! Oooooohhhhh Maxine, that new baby arriving in time for the CHRISTmas season. Maxine is 100 percent right, you know that don't you?

I have a quick challenge for you. instead of an unkind word or thought proceeding from your mind and mouth please do this:

Small kindnesses make big strides. People everywhere are fighting a battle you know nothing about. Use kindness.  It makes me feel better to be kind. It is easy to be mean, kindness is hard if you make it that way. I see so many wanting their cause championed or expressing the hate they say among others and yet they are doing the same thing. Try kindness, use love to it's full potential. Love is the greatest gift of all. Prayers going up for Annie who has always shared kindness and positive notes at her blog.

Aw....Mondays and More

Dogs Playing Poker, this was everywhere at one time. I know that because my late friend Kathy O'Gane had this hanging on a wall in their home. The one pooch is even smoking which is politically incorrect today. I was thinking of my friend and the fun we use to share. I even have a charm bracelet, sterling silver, with charms she picked up for me during her travels with the U.S. Navy. Friends like Kathy are once in a lifetime. The handful of dear hearts still in my life, I have known for what seems like forever. I wanted to share the dogs with Sandee and the folks at Aw....Mondays.

A share for Blue Monday I have heard that most white cats with blue eyes may also be deaf. So pretty and such a sad fact.

My sister Mary has two different colored eyes. It is a unique trait and I love it!

Love is...seems to know me! I love when my hubby has time to massage away my stressful days.

Maxine, you and I have very different reasons for watching "the stars"! I have always loved astronomy. I guess Maxine wants celebrity neighbors. Not me! Very happy being who I am.

The Scripture and yellow daisies made me smile here.

Keeping Annie at McGruffys Reader in my prayers. I like sharing something positive. We often do not see clearly in difficult situations. But once the dust settles, you most often find a beautiful destination. Never give up. Keep believing and trusting. It is all going to turn out alright in the end.

 This is Runyon Field, in my hometown. It is a popular ball park. As kids, visiting our grandmother who lived a few minutes from the ballpark, we would walk behind the outfield wall and collect baseballs. Those were fun times and good memories.
