Hello Beloved

Hello Beloved.
I made a conscious effort to be happy today.

This is the LIFE.
The family room window is open behind me where I sit in a lumpy bumpy green colored chair to type on the blog.  The wind is blowing and the spring air is fresh.  Birds are chirping and a train just went by.   Small town sounds can be heard outside.  A few trucks went by.  Church bells chime and I can hear the distant sound of the local Grain Elevator h u m m i n g with activity.

Some brave soul is out mowing a lawn.  Our time will be coming....our yard's grass has quickly grown due to rain we were blessed to have.

SPRING KLEENING DAY banner is displayed in the WINNIE THE POOH movie about eestur (Easter) eggs on the television while 5 year old Lil Miss plays with her Strawberry Shortcake figurines on the floor.  Full length feature rated for GENERAL AUDIENCES is the WINNIE THE POOH: Springtime with ROO movie from the Public Library.  Think it is pleasant for viewing.  No overly graphic crime programs here. 

Lunch is over and I'm sipping some hot Golden French Toast flavored Mountain Coffee blended with creamer out of a red pottery cup.  This would be a great breakfast beverage.

Lil Miss had Princess Chicken Soup, Strawberries, Cottage Cheese and Apple Juice to drink.  Afternoon snack will be Graham Cracker Cookies with PINK Frosting.  We made these together again today.  After they're placed in the fridge for an hour or so....they taste even better if you ask me.  Sticky fingers and frosting just seem to go together.

CHILDCARE 101:  When tending to little children....there will be messes made and accidents that happen.  No need to have a cow over the messes.  They are just a part of every day life.  Take a deep breath.  Expect them and aim for a gentle spirit.


A load of my husband's work clothes are washing in the machine and another load in the dryer.  Folded some towels already and placed them in the bathroom.

Break time.  Need to freshen up a tad before I go to the Post Office.  The Easter Baskets are completed and brown wrapped packages are ready to mail.  Pat myself on the back.  

Enjoying the way area rugs feel under my bare feet that are newly placed on the Dining room floor.  They've been in place for 5 days.
This time next year.......there will be NO FRIDGE in the Dining room.  It will actually be back in the made over Kitchen.  The place where the fridge sits at present will free up space in the Dining room.  

This Summer, I hope to take out of storage a dinette set and replace the over sized table that we're using right now.  It feels more like we are newly weds getting a start than marrieds for 37 years.  Staying young at heart.....having a flexible attitude helps.  Help! 

Last night, I picked Lilacs from one of our bushes and placed them in a vase on the Dining room table.  The fragrance is refreshing.  Our Lilacs are early this year just like our Spring.  At least 6 weeks early.  Enjoying this time of year and don't mind it coming early.  Figure our Summer will be hot.  HOT.  

Looking forward to a Date Night with the Mister.  Fancy Coffee and Conversation.   

The week-end is coming.  Heart week-ends.
Have a super day,
