quotes

I used a quote in conversation the other day and then questioned my self as to the correct choice of words. The quote was, "Discretion is the better part of valor." Had to look it up and see if I was correct, and I was... (why do I doubt myself?) Made me wonder if any of you had a favorite quote and I am going to be thinking about what mine is. I will get back to you on that.
It is Friday!
Here is a Friday quote:
ARCHBISHOP, n. An ecclesiastical dignitary one point holier than a bishop.
If I were a jolly archbishop,On Fridays I'd eat all the fish up --Salmon and flounders and smelts;On other days everything else. Jodo Rem
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914),

Storm Warning

So, the weather channel is telling you that you are under a storm warning. Do you:
a) Take cover in an inner room with a mattress over you
b) Go outside to watch it touch down
Just curious.

when you are all alone and missing your honey, it helps to have a cat on your lap.

Friends and Friday

Yesterday I got to hang out with a friend from highschool for a few hours. We had the same haircut even though we hadn't seen each other in years. (totally unplanned!) She was my red headed friend and it was nice to know that she too is getting those new crinkly hairs along with the white ones. We celebrated being 50 at LaMadelines, and caught up on our kids and spouses. Today, Mere comes and I get to hang with her and the cutest baby ever. It's Friday!

Duck Duck Goose

My new abode is across the street from a large park with walking Tree lined trails that surround a series of ponds. I was thrilled the other day to see a mother goose and her NINE babies swimming in a row in the pond. I saw a turtle on a log. I saw a Mallard, fly in low and do a beautiful splashless, gliding landing on a long, shallow, strip of water. I know the other ducks were giving him a score of "10". It was so fun to watch. I am enjoying these simple moments of joy in my new neighborhood.

Monday ?

I was just sitting at my desk thinking about writing a little something for this blog and humming "Monday Monday, la la la la la la" and realized all of a sudden that it is Tuesday. Well, lost a day while in Abilene hanging with my parentals. Yesterday I was blessed to have lunch with the residents of University Place, a Senior Living environment, and today I am back in the saddle again. AND, now that I know it is Tuesday, better get with it and catch up! Over and out.
