Food for thought and other stuff

Live with the three Es: Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.
Don’t miss any opportunity to hug somebody you appreciate.

And enjoy nature, wherever you are.

Isn’t this a beauty?  It is a Pink Lady's Slipper, which is a large, showy wildflower belonging to the orchid family.  Our shorty birthday gal knows how much I love them, so she took this photo and sent it to me.  That makes this even more special.  None of mine are in bloom yet, so now I can enjoy this one.  Any time.

Spring Fest at Young Harris College is calling Joy, Joan and me today.  Hopefully the fog will be gone by the time we get there so that we can enjoy the arts and crafts on display.  At least there is no liquid sunshine!

That’s it from paradise.  Have yourself a peachy day, y’all!

Rock ‘n roll lives on!

MM and I just happened to catch part of this presentation and loved them!

This music will put a little zip in your Friday, y’all!  Rock on…

Missy the stalker!

Little does my mighty hunter know, but these mallards can fly away and avoid her prowess. They are having a bit of a stand off staring contest.

It is a joy watching nature here in overcast paradise, y'all!

Wordless Wednesday

Happy, happy day!

 

See that cute shortie up there?  She is 11 today, that “between age” of not being a young child, but not quite a teenager yet.  Age limbo.  That is what this is.  Stuck in the middle.

All too soon you’ll be heading off to college, sweet gal.  Trust me.  Time flies.  It does.  Enjoy each day.  You are a blessing to all of us.  We love you bunches!

Oh, and after she was born, I got to cut the cord to set her free.  She hasn’t stopped since!

Help yourself to some birthday cake!

Celebrate life, honey.  It is very good…especially with YOU in it!

Chilly Monday in Paradise

Someone wanted to see the cards from class yesterday, so I am playing with both the iPad and blogging from there. Hmmm, this photo is not as crisp as I like, but enough detail for y'all to ooh and aahhhh over our project, thankyouverymuch. There were 8 of us, and being the hostess I forgot to take a group photo. Bugger.

There is a rumor that we may have a dusting of snow in the higher elevations tonight. Did I mention that it is chilly??? I thought the calendar indicated it was spring!!!!! Brrr...bugger.

Does anyone have any warm weather they can pretty please send us?

Holy humor

A  minister waited in line to have his car filled  with gas just before a long holiday weekend.  The  attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him.  Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.


"Reverend," said the  young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay.  It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."


The minister chuckled,  "I know what you mean.  It's the same in my business."


Haley’s bi-monthly card class is this afternoon—here at my house, which means that yesterday was cleaning day!  I think I’m ready for the gang, not that they care if my house is spotless, but still…it gave me a deadline.  I need that.

I hope you are doing something fun today.  If so, share what it is!

Life is…creative…here in paradise today!
