Chop suey Tuesday- impressions
October 3, 2016
First Impressions – we all have them, when we see something, we take it in and in seconds, we have an impression
No matter the impression, I find myself looking at the details, and the story the building tells me.
Sometimes, the impression is one that is a statement, and I “know” it is not a place that I want to visit or know too much about it. It has a facade that clearly says…”I’m here, don’t mess with me”
This oldie sat off the road, I had to get out and take a closer look, this is the back of the house. We tried to find out more about the house, it was for sale, we took the details, unfortunately, the seller, didn’t have a web site, and we were out of State by the time we were where we could look further into it. I’ve not forgotten, and given the time hope that we will discover more about the house, and the selling price.
What is the fascination, don’t really know… we are on the look out for a property in the States that we can easily get to, and tour from there. Maybe it is just a dream, its nice to be able to travel into the possibilities. Life is busy, it is nice to have a place to drift too
my travels take me to a lot of places, I thrill on them all. Each tells a story, each one is unique. I feel like that about people too. It is not what someone else tells me, it is what I “see” for myself.
The past may play a part in what a person, or place is “today”… however, we live in the now, and it is what you see and feel NOW that counts.
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
PL Principle #6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
PL Precept # 6 Efface your self conceptions.
What impression will you make on the world today?
a smile works every time.
Have a good day everyone…

A stop along the way
October 2, 2016
knock, knock
I knew no one was home
so I took time to roam
explore, and enjoy the decor
will you look at this doll
she’s had her doors done up out of wood
with no Chevy in sight
I turned to the Ford
I admit it had a charm
and, it wasn’t in a barn
this is the babe
who welcomed us in
when these ladies, give with the charm
I can’t help but beam
with delight
I raise a glass to the bad ass
owners who track them down
and give them new life
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
each picture, shows a piece of art, someone made time, to reconstruct, or build
these gems for us to enjoy.
on my part, appreciation, and gratitude is sent out to them for their time and efforts
just reliving my visit brought back a big smile.

To achieve a quiet heart, so that we can live in greater harmony with the world around us, takes an effort. In life, when we are balanced, grounded, we are capable of better decisions, and more effective results to our actions.
If we are active, when we should be at rest, then when it is time to act, we are often ill prepared. We can miss opportunities that had we been rested and ready, would have been easy to deal with.
For the last many days I have been living with a sinus infection. Ok it is not the end of the world, however, when the symptoms gang up on me, I really do find myself leaning towards,a complaining mind. (that is not the right way/direction to go)
Like a hamster in a cage, running, running on my wheel, running and getting nowhere. After chasing around looking for a clinic that was open today, I finally gave up and came home. I will take the time to reflect on just why this physical annoyance is giving me grief.
It is said, that the “superior” person, first achieves quiet heart, and then acts. Hmmmmp I have some serious winding down to do, 1st step, when my body says rest, I need to listen.

APPRECIATION -& GRATITUDE
for all that happened and went into
my being able to enjoy
such a delight.
yes it is still Wednesday -but a Thursday door is in this post!
September 28, 2016
We can only wonder at the creative mind that pulled this all together. what a hoot it must have been to drive up and meet the people here, possibly someone somewhere will know more about this location, and contact me. Meanwhile…. I enjoy the little surprises as i revisit the pictures.
Both my husband and our friend Syb, were reminded of Stephen King’s writing when they saw the pictures. I personally have not read a lot of Stephen King, what do you think?
I know Norm, I know, tomorrow is Thursday, but as you can see, this door from the building is very standard issue. the one that was super cool was the one at the front, where they drove cars in and out from.
Dorinda, Elusive, does this place inspire a storyline? Anyone from Maine that knows anything about this place.. I’d love to hear from you.
Always be open to new discoveries, and when you find a piece of history that speaks to you…. enjoy it!

Close ups of a fun place. -Maine,USA.
There are times when I feel simply overwhelmed by the creativity of others. Thus was the case here, my husband is used to my hollering “stop the car, stop the car” and having to pull over turn around and bring me back to the “whatever” that brought on this outburst. I was totally taken by this building, it was once an antique car lot. The detail, the whimsical character of the architecture. I would have loved to have met the previous owner.
See the tie man!! I loved, loved, loved it. I toured around the building, as much as I could without being an intruder.
The second floor balconies made me itch with curiosity. Wanting a ladder or access to the inside to I could get closer.. I’ll post a shot from the road, so you can see what I first saw.
Like HELLO.. how could I just drive by and not get a closer look. It was on getting closer that I saw all the details, and the charming way the owner had put character into the building.
This is what life is. Think about it. How often do you meet someone, or see someone and think, how interesting, I wonder?? But, we never follow through, we never take that chance .. we are polite, and go about our business. I was blessed that in growing up, I was encouraged to meet and greet the world in a positive light.
Not only in old abandoned buildings and lost,left behind vehicles do I see beauty and wonder. I see it in my fellow-man.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
There will be more pictures of this house, (Norm’s “Thursday Doors” ) but before I sign off, please let me show you the car that was left behind. It was being textured by Mother Nature, she was looking “some” good…=^_^=
Beauty if in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it ….
For those of you who love “rust detailing” and the different patina that Mother Nature can bestow on metal
this car is showing a lot of promise
so it was, past & present

So it was, there before me, in its majestic glory, the ocean. It was later in the day than we expected to arrive, but here we were. Other cars were parked along the road, people with their camera poised for that perfect picture. For me, it was the moment itself that was perfect. Taking in a deep breath, the rest of the world around me disappeared. In a second one can live and relive a lifetime. No matter how often such moments occur in my life, I am always amazed that such serenity and peace can wash over me, filling me with a gratitude and appreciation that no words can fully express, the blessing is to live that moment to the fullest.
The camera can capture the landscape, and perhaps a “mood”… but that moment of connection to the “Universe” is very personal and unique to each person who was there on that highway, we all experienced our own individual “blessing”
Some of us travel on the water, some of us are grounded on land, but no matter where we are in life, when we experience that intimate connection with the Divine force of Nature, we are captivated, enthralled and in that moment, we are ONE totally engaged in the transcending power of LOVE.

I would like to say I resisted bringing home some fresh corn………………. however……………….. I cannot tell a lie ……………………….. the caramel corn was too juicy and plump to resist.
FYI. I will be taking a vacation, for a week plus. heading for the ocean. I look forward to seeing you all when I return. The vast expanse of ocean, and the sound of the waves making their way to the shoreline is calling… I know you all understand.
Meanwhile, enjoy your days, take in the night
dream of delights
carry love in your hearts
for you will be in mine
love always.
