Sometimes I find going to the cemetery comforting. In the Jewish religion we have to wait a year. At that time the stones are up instead of the marker and of course there is a service. I’m sure your dad knows how much you miss him and happy that he drops by every now and then to say hello.
Me, I have found in the last couple of days brand new quarters. I think there is now a $1 worth.

The keys were a big thing yesterday. Without them I would not have been able to lock the door, get the mail, go to the pool, check the clubhouse, etc.. Main thing was the mail and front door. For some reason we found the front door locked and when checking the back door that I thought was unlocked, it wasn’t. Hubby had to try all his keys before one worked the front door. It took awhile. And hours later a miracle happened. Found the keys in an empty carton that we were taking to the other house. They would have been found eventually, but sooner rather than later was a good surprise.

This afternoon we will go to Aldi’s and Ace Hardware. Ace to pick up the Anti freeze for all pipes, drains, toilets, etc.. Just hope they have it when we get there. Seems people are traveling in their RVs and need it for their trips. Consequently, most stores in the area have none. Hoping we can also go one last time to the Farmer’s Market. Free ice cream for everyone today in honor of the 4th. And it’s all homemade. Yes, they have no sugar added. Yummm…..🍧🍨🍦

Talk to you later.

Summertime

Revel in the richness of life and renew yourself in the light that Summer brings.

Our memories of summer are often intense because it is a season blessed with a vividness unsurpassed by any other time of year. Our senses are delighted by bright colors, fresh scents, vibrant flavors, brilliant sunlight, and heat’s caress. There is a sumptuousness about summertime, as both flora and fauna come into their own, regaling us with natural beauty. Our day-to-day circumstances may not change as spring turns into summer, yet we nonetheless feel refreshed. Our burdens seem lighter, and we feel compelled to play, to travel, to relax, and to experience all of life’s joys to their full extent during extended sunlit hours.

Rituals specific to the summer season empower us to attune ourselves to the changes that take place in nature and within ourselves as the weather grows warmer. Some summertime rituals are highly personal — remnants of past traditions we have unconsciously preserved through practice. Others can be incorporated into our lives whenever we feel the need to experience summer’s significance on a deeper level. Summer is at its core a season of light, and by opening ourselves and our spaces to this light, we honor all the joy associated with the coming months. Unbolting windows and doors, arranging bright-golden blooms in a vase, and turning our faces toward the sun become a celebration when done with intent. Summer is also a wonderful time to practice focused listening, as the air is filled with beautiful sounds particular to the season. To begin, find a quiet, solitary spot. For 10 minutes, pay attention to the workings of your mind and allow it to wander at will. Then turn your attention to the sounds resonating around you and note what you hear, whether the buzzing of bees, children’s laughter, or birdsong.

Thoughts of summer likely evoke numerous pleasant images in your mind. However, if what you envision seems little more than a piece of your distant past, you can reacquaint yourself with the joys of summertime by immersing yourself in its pleasures. Wake up with the sunrise, take a day trip to the beach, indulge in an ice cream cone, or simply sit quietly in nature’s embrace. The season will pass quickly, but while it remains, you can revel in the richness of life and renew yourself in the wonder of the light. 😎🌹💕😘

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😘😎Very glad your mother and sister joined you for
a nice time on the Deck. 😘💕Yes I did have a great time this weekend and what a
change oh I masked up for the event. I am not taking any chances if I can help it.

No worries your project will be done in a few days. Yay! 🤣

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I am glad you and hubby were safe and sound at home. 🌹
Because I live close to where the Air Show was it was not a problem. I so enjoyed looking
at all the flying and wondering how do they do all the tricks. Hubby loved it too. 😎

We have been working on things all summer and finally things are looking up.
Hey tomorrow is one of our daughters Birthday. I went into labor on the 4th of July
and she was born on the 6th of July. Why I wanted to slap my husband I have no idea. 🤣
Our daughter was a beautiful baby and now she is a beautiful woman she is the daughter
that rescued Poppy for me because I had lost my Sheba. 💕😘 Oh my niece that lives
in your City flew to Colorado to visit my mother her grandmother. Niece had no issues flying.

Taci we had a full on Fireworks show on our block thank god they stopped at midnight. 😎
This is peace and I hope you find along the trails. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast. Oodie you seem to have a lot on your mind.
You have so much to do when you get back to North. 😎😘🌹 Just try to breathe
for now so glad you and hubby had a meal out. 🌹I know it felt good.

When this nasty virus is over I am never taking anything for granted. I went to my
father’s gravesite today and I had a somber moment. 🌹 The pain is still fresh and it
has not even been a year yet. I miss him so much. The waves are easing up and he comes
to me in the form of a butterfly one day he came straight at me and I loved it. 💕

Next time you can’t find your keys just whistle. 😘😎🌹

@defg,

Get some rest and good sleep in Maryland. Welcome to a new week 😎

Sweet dreams. 🌹

Here to a new week and new month in your neck of the woods. I do hope you had
a great Independence day. 😘😎
