Tuesday Show and Tail and Happy Tuesday and More

I have loved Tom and Jerry since I was a kid.  They have been around longer than I have! The series started in 1940 and ran until 1958. There have been several spin offs. I still watch the show with my hubby and we enjoy it immensely. Their antics are so silly and sometime frustrating, especially for Tom, but they belong together even though they antagonize each other. They are a favorite memory for me to share with my love of Tuesday Show and Tails that Angela once hosted.

If you visit Happy Tuesday you can share some happiness there. I am sharing Tom and Jerry. It is rare to see them smile together.

Ah....the little necessities of life! Love is....reads my mind.  A cup of hot tea and some tea cookies and my evening is almost complete.

HaHaHa! Maxine is so snarky! You gotta love her!

A little humor never hurt anyone. This one was truly just too cute not to share.

Did you grow up with an ash pit? Incinerator was another name, This isn't in the yard of my childhood home but someone shared it on my hometown page on social media. My dad always burned the trash. Today you can't use them in the city. Yet the air quality is still awful.  Too many people assembled in too many places all together. There is a big part of your answer. I miss my childhood, life was simple and people were kind.

Then and now. Boy does life move quickly.

Aw....Mondays and More

It is a late post for Aw...Mondays and a sweet kitten who looks like I feel!

Getting ready for one of those milestone birthdays where you have to apply for Medicare was weighing heavily onmy mind. Recently,  I made the call and spoke to the lovliest lady named Robin. She really put my mind at ease. Often people who think they are helping you are really scaring the pants off of you with their horror tales of the Medicare system. So enough said except I am grateful I spoke with Robin at the Social Security 800 number. I heard God whispering "I told you so!". Learning to listen to Him is getting a bit easier.

You can call it what you like, special needs, disabilities. I like Joni Eareckson-Tada's take on it best:

She has often said, she dislikes labels. She said I am a cripple. I sit in a wheelchair. I don't really have a disability. I broke my neck and it put me in this chair! She always says when she gets to heaven she is going to dance with Jesus! Our country loves labels and offering pharmaceuticals to whoever feels like they need one. Have you seen the warning labels on so many of these drugs? It is absolutely frightening.

A friend I have known since we were 13 via "pen pals" reconnected with me at social media. She lost her younger sister Jackie recently. Jackie had Downs Syndrome. She lived a life that touched so many. I did not know her but hearing what others have to say about her makes me smile. I think Jane was truly blessed to have Jackie as her sibling. May Jackie Rest In Peace .

My friend Dr. T. or "Koko" as we call her always said her grandmother told her people do not understand those born with a pure soul. If you know someone with Downs Syndrome I know you will relate to this. Koko and I worked together, for many years in an ENT office. She was the doctor of Audiology.

The hubby is winding down his six days off in a row. He returns to work on Wednesday but we worked hard all weekend long with the newlyweds.

The start of our weekend long project.

The green, green grass of home.

Oh Maxine, stop reading my mind!

A thoughtful share for Anniewho always spread kindness. Remeber her in your prayers please as she is taking a much needed blog break.
