Blessings Daily 9

I'm thinking that today is a thankful day for PROGRESS.
Things used as a younger woman are obsolete. ME!
I no longer have to hand-wash dirty dishes...I totally LUV & respect the role of an automatic dishwasher. 
The family always makes jokes about my using REAL dishes at our get-togethers. They all rely on throw-away, flimsy plates, plastic forks/spoons & plastic cups...Y U C K! I USE my everyday plates, silverware and (cause they won't use glass!) plastic glasses...I know....!
I truly ENJOY a "rain-head" shower. The old styles we had when I was growing up were pitiful in comparison! These new shower heads give "massage" therapy  as you shower...I totally  LUV that.
Ofcourse, I'm computer-addicted....keepin in "touch with the world" has been an amazing experience for me. I  DO  still call friends/family on a phone, but cyber-space is sooooo cool! I seldom ever watch "mindless tv" anymore. I go to my computer for reading, news, and socialization. Who'd thunk @ this age I would be doing this???  lol
Then, there's my "baby"....to get me frm here to there in "sporty" style....lol   It's  FUN  to drive and causes a
"stir" everywhere I go in her. As a young driver, Dad helped me get a 4-dr(key to DISlike) Chevelle. I actually didn't mind the car and it served me well for many yrs. In comparison to my Camaro...there is NONE..lol  
So, some elements/changes over my lifetime I certainly DO welcome w/open arms. I know there will be many more....we'll see how that goes!
I was able to sweep & mop Lamar's new vinyl floor today. That's soooo much progress frm foolin w/a vacuum cleaner for carpet that never seemed clean, even after time-consuming work! Zip, zip and done...cleaner is mop & dry....no rinse...yeah! Luv this flooring. Such progress...easier on the back, too.
I'm thankful for all these things that make life simpler...heck, bring 'em on!

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos

MEMORIES.....of Evonne

Image
Isn't she beautiful? Such an ol' soul w/a very sweet spirit about her. This is a difficult blog to write....LIFEtime/Sista friend, and "Auntie" Evonne. It is one I must write for me. Tears already falling....it's still very raw. We spent so much quality time together thru our years. Friends, school chums, and then....she married my Uncle Herman. Wow! Now she was "legally" a member of our family. How wonderful! Our lives were so intertwined....and will always be that way. There  simply is no way to express all we shared in this blog! Evonne SHARED so very much w/me. At the top....her dear Mother....Miss Louise. Miss Louise was a friend, mentor and 2nd mother. She treated me as her own daughter. I MISS her so very much, and now, I MISS Evonne, too. As Donnie said....it SUCKS!! Evonne also SHARED her beautiful daughter--Bonnie, and her 2 grandkids. I am unable to clearly express the love and fun those 2 kids have brought to my life. All 3 of them w

Photo-HOLIC !

Image
There are many kinds of conditions which need medical attention...alcoholism, drugs, depression. However, I've not figured out what will "fix" me! I'm addicted to a CAMERA and "shootin" pictures. What "cure" is there for me? My family has chided me for years....uh oh, here comes Mom with the camera! Now, I'm even worse...haha  I now have a good camera w/Zoom that will "reach out and touch" whatever I want to capture. Now, understand, I'm a basic point-and-shoot woman. I'm toooo lazy to study and learn about light, lenses and that important stuff! Know that I'll never be more than an amateur with a desire....what's wrong with that? Retired people NEED structure to their lives!! lol  Honestly, I've "found" my niche....me and this camera go everywhere together. I LOVE catching "kodak moments" and enjoy looking for things I might otherwise pass on by without noticing. The above 3 p
