My Favorite Things . . .

 



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!

Today I am celebrating summer.


 

Fields of Daisies . . . 


 

Magic wands  . . . 


 

Dandelion wishes  . . . 


 

Sand Castles  . . . 


 

Outdoor swimming  . . . 


 

Tents  . . .  makeshift or otherwise  . . . 


 

Icy drinks  . . . 


 

Pin wheels . . . 


 

Sandy beaches  . . . 


 

Eating Al Fresco  . . . 


 

Fire flies . . . .


 

Fresh berries  . . . 


 

Sunlight and shadows  . . . 


 

Blue Skies  . . . 


 

Ice Cream  . . . 


And so much more.  Summer is a beautiful time of year that we can enjoy being outdoors, gardening, picnicking, camping, swimming, etc.  Just a short one this week, I have run out of time. But hopefully some of these are things you enjoy about summer as well!


I am picking up Eileen and Tim today and bringing them over for a meal and some quality time together. Eileen took a really bad fall yesterday in the parking lot behind their apartment.  It is a disgrace really, that parking lot.  All uneven and full of potholes, etc. She banged up her face pretty badly and cut her hand badly as well. Not enough to go to the hospital, but enough for her to not go for her hearing test and she was pretty shaken up. I was crying about it in bed last night, just thinking about it. I love this sweet daughter of mine and I need to spend more time with her.


A thought to carry with you  . . .

    1. The parking lot for their apartment building is a disgrace Monique. I won't drive my car into it at all as I am afraid I will take out my suspension. Yes, it is THAT bad! I told her that she needs to use the front door from now on and that anyone picking them up needs to pick them up at the front door as there is a sidewalk there that they can walk on. I was really upset when I saw her face. She should sue really, but then it might get her evicted. He is a slum landlord I think. Does nothing unless really pushed. xoxo

  2. Hope Eileen’s wounds are healing. I’ve had a few falls so I know how badly they can shake you up. She needs some TLC from her mama. Enjoy your visit with them. Stay cool. Live and hugs, Elaine

    1. Thanks Elizabeth. These landlords really need to do better I think. It's a disgrace, but if you didn't pay your rent they would be right on your doorstep no doubt! Hugs, xoxo
