AND LIFE IS GOOD….,


Sleeping til 9….hubby and kitty both purring…..
Opening the blinds to an ocean blue sky with cotton clouds…
Ten cups and 3 measures offer up a delightful aroma to begin the day…
Outside the news waits patiently….some good, some not…
And life is good…

Clothes peak out of the hamper, ready for a wash…
Plants lean toward the sun and wait for their faucet drink…
Kitty paws me for his morning treat and then heads to the front porch…
Soaking beans soften up to a ham hock for tonights supper…
And life is good….

A wodpecker looks for his meal in the Florida oak…
Squirrels scamper thru palm and frond, falling in love one moment, and digging up acorns the next…
Herons and gulls correspond as the sun rises further….looking for the baitfish to fattent their bellies…
And life is good…

Neighbors await their grandchildren, coming from the frozen north….
Wagons, sand pails, and cribs come out of storage, as the family comes together…
Snowbirds come and go, feeling lucky they are here to bask in the sun where coconut palms flourish…
And life is good…..

Blessings are acknowledged and health is never taken for granted….
Our 70 years have come so quickly, we sometimes lose count, until we look into the mirror…
Friendships are stronger, deeper, and longer than ever imagined….
A 50th high school reunion puzzles us to this very day…..
And life is good…

We carry on with our day, and smile that we no longer rise to be in the office at 7…
Our kind…..retirees, sift thru life’s memories and rejoice that children are grown and have jobs….
Their paths, beginning to march to the chorus of promises, dreams, sometimes stumbling as they find their way ……
And soon, one morning, they will find themselves, waking at 9, hubby and kitty purring, and the news of the day….. right outside…..
And life is good…..

slide the gecko


slide was found at my granddaughter’s house and is in temporary confinement to be shown off to friends. He’s called Slide because he slides down the glass cage. I told them to give him his freedom so he could visit his mom and dad again….good luck slide

CHECK’IN OUT TOYS


We took the grand girls for Thanksgiving grocery shopping…That was okay, but it got better when we went to Wendys….it even got better when a toy came with the nuggets! And then, EVEN BETTER… as.it was on to Walmart to the toy department!Tthere were electric cars, and Baby Alive, and bikes, and Lion King kids, and dogs you could pet thru a special hole in the box, and Bratz, and Cabbage Patch, and Baby Alive diapers, and Barbie Houses 4′ tall, and more and more and more, and oh my gosh! Oh to be 5 and 9 again……sprinkles of stardust shown in their eyes and Christmas Lists grew and grew to 5-10-20 times the original size!! Lov’in life.
