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!
Today I am grateful for:
Waking up to see a new day.
Getting rain….much needed.
God…my savior.
Laughter.
A great team to work with.
Family.
Good friendships.
Being able to treat my son to an early birthday present. A Rock concert here in town.
Vacation. Today is day one of seven.
The beautiful Lake Superior. Even on windy and rainy days, it is fascinating..
I was able to attend my sister-in-law’s funeral a couple weeks ago. She was only 63 when she passed. It was a beautiful funeral. She will be missed.
Good books and good music.
Attending a family friend’s surprise 60th birthday party the other night. Good conversation, good food and happy to be there.
Each day I am upright, breathing, walking and talking.
A peaceful day where I slowly woke up. No rushing out the door.
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!
With credit to Carol’s Helpers, I am inspired to make my own list:
Gratitude as a tool to let go of frustration and the general grouchies,
Clothes that need folded. I’m so lucky to have so many clothes that I love.
So many that I need to start a pile for the thrift.
Yesterday I found a top to wear to a party and even had a gift card to pay for it.
Today I found a pair of pants at the thrift.
Frustrated that khakis won’t fit but losing weight is a process. More movement. Less food!
Also found a coffee cup that says Pray,Pray,Pray! (Amen!)
Bought shirt that I love so much it’s on!
Wrong food got taken out of the freezer. But had more lasagna that could be microwaved for Hubby.
Then I got to eat the thawed cabbage roll.
Ready to start straightening up the house. Letting go of put upon that I’m doing it myself.
Music helps. Breaks do too. Tomorrow is going to be wonderful!
Letting go of my woes. Welcoming my blessings!

A Firestone High School reunion committee meeting and get together

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!
Tornado (or high wind) touched down only 20 miles from here. Grateful that its path did not come this way.
Grateful for the meteorologists who track and report.
Facebook site where everyone was checking in.
Changing our plans because library event was cancelled. Thanks for cancelling and thanks for letting us know.
Spring brings tornadoes in my part of the world. May I never take it casually.
God bless anyone who was impacted.
Grateful for home. Grateful for today!
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!
