Waking up in the morning, I am in gratitude for another day!
Having breakfast, I am thankful for my 15 grain wheat bread.
Writing my morning page is so powerful to me.
My lunch is hopefully healthy.
A hike with Mary Ellen.
Reading in the afternoon – what a treat! Chores can wait.
Trying a new recipe – thrilling!
Watching Jeopardy with Tom.
Posting on Facebook.

Thank God for another blessed day!
this was the weekend of the Floyd Family Golf Outing
I was in charge of door prizes – quite a task!
the outing was yesterday, with 144 golfers
I took lots of photos
Maribeth was in charge of the 50/50 raffle
Dyan coordinated registration, door prize display, and getting dinner together
Kevin was in charge of everything!
So much fun and revelry!
tutored a couple of my 4th grade students this morning
we used a kid’s dictionary – a real one, not online – I love dictionaries
went to a presentation on downsizing this afternoon with my friend Mary Ellen at a local library
when we came out there were lots of carts of free books, so much for downsizing! I am a bookaholic!
I left with a bag of books and an armful!
I have a Little Free Library in my yard to keep full
then Mary Ellen and I went hiking. we saw:
a great blue heron fishing
Canada geese swimming
a huge snapping turtle splashing around
May apples blooming
a young man fishing – he caught a big bass
and then, as if my day were not good enough – Tom cooked dinner!
Dear God – thank you for the privilege of days like this!
the sermon at church was powerful and got a standing ovation!
today was the last day for collecting donations for the Hunger Walk
I only had $50 and I was a little concerned
and then WOWEE, person after person handed me cash and checks!!
later when I counted it, I was amazed to find we had collected $500!!!!
that’s the most we ever raised – Yippee yo yo YO!
I have been having a little knee trouble, so I was a little apprehensive about walking
but I made it for the one mile walk – Hallelujah!
then I wrote an article on affirmations that I really like
Tom went out to get our favorite take-outs – El Meson Cinco de Mayo
I am so grateful for this day of wonderment!!
Tonight we celebrated Mary Ann’s birthday
She is 89 years old! An icon in our church
There were 13 of us – laughing, talking, eating
Mary Ann was wearing a beautiful wrist corsage
The service was amazing
Food was great and abundant
What a terrific evening!
lunch with the Highwatch team from our church – Unity Chapel of Light
the food was potluck – a delightful array of deliciousness
we talked about new ideas for the future
and our new wooden prayer box
we talked about this and that
Of course we prayed
High Watch members take turns holding the prayer box during service
If anyone in the congregations want to talk and/or pray after service, we are available
I feel so blessed to be affiliated with this church and this team!
Tom was gone all day so I played from 11 am to 8 pm!
I started a master list from all my odds and ends of notes
An hour nap was delightful!
Enjoyed my Havarti cheese snack
Started bingeing on Palm Royale on Apple+
Called my friend Shirley
Arranged my flowers that were gifted to me this morning
An extravaganza of putzing!

A Firestone High School reunion committee meeting and get together
Debbie Lopez was here from Mexico – she is our tech person and writer of fun and inviting emails
Charlie Duvall showed up like a Harley biker vision of amazement
Anita was at her first meeting
Dodie joined our group
We are looking for an interesting and fun venue
King School Centennial – Debbie and I went at the end of it
It was great for her to see the new school for the very first time
Dyan, daughter-in-law and principal was happy with the event
These represented two of my schools of yore!
Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings!
The many miracles of snow drops, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and more!
Blooming bushes and trees – magnolia, cherry, azaleas, dogwoods and more
The promise of gardening around the corner!
Feeling so hopeful as Spring unfolds.
Sitting at my Hollywood writing desk and looking out the window as my precious dogwood buds proceed!
Let’s hear it for Spring! Hip hip hooray!
