AROUND the Mountain....yet again !!

Yellow means CAUTION.....Sorry. I'm years past that!
Joyce Meyer states in sermons.....IF you don't learn from something....you can go 'round that mountain until you do!
The last few days, I've been 'round that mountain.
It's not healthy to be so loving of any THING. I know that.
Facebook has opened a "new" world for me. Retirement is truly a new lifestyle! I find myself w/monthly business,  running errands to keep this life going (groceries and such), and whatever comes up----we handle.
When that's done....I do rely on my retired-life routine.
Heavily am a "creature of habit"!! Get up @ 7am, take my BP med, go for the caffine (my TEA), take Ariel for her morning walk......then it's MY time to say  hello to my world.!!
Yep. Hit the Facebook. Read the news, weather.Ck on Pinterest!
I find much enjoyment in FB---being able to communicate socially w/friends and family. It brings me JOY. Yep. I'm hooked, lined and sunk...LOL
The past 3 days were totally MISERABLE for me.....NO internet. I felt lonely and "lost" w/o being able to "see" and participate in FB!!!!!!!
Four walls, only radio.....Ofcourse, there are books, but I was way past MOODY and not up for that!
Saving grace was that (w/o internet) was able to "play" my home Scrabble game. I did. Also, spent time accessing photos -- deleting poor shots, organizing folders and such. (that really does need a completion date!) I was also able to use Media Player for my personal music choices. So. Not totally paralyzed -- sort of!!
Point --I know so vividly, attachment to such "things" is unnecessary, for some. It can so quickly be gone!! For me --it is fresh breath EVERY day. It is my relaxation, time well-spent learning, reading and interacting w/real LIVE people. People I  LOVE.....
Have I learned? Yes. That I do  NOT  want to be w/o  Facebook every day.!!! Guess that "mountain" is still there for me............

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
