Knowing I am very keen on vintage automobiles, a friend from Montreal sent me this photo along with many others.

What do these items have in common? Nothing, except they were all part of my world in some way or another, prior to today. I introduce them to you, because, even tho’ they are part of the past, they are also part of my present. Why, they remain connected through “friendships”
Our friends are all different, they are the gemstones in our treasure chest at the end of the rainbow. It is not about how often we see them, but how much joy and happiness they bring into our lives by being part of who we are, our memories, our challenges and our futures.
Friendships are unique and beautiful. I am blessed for having had such beautiful souls thread their lives through mine.

What is this?
A picture gone rogue. Even with the best intentions, there are times, even when we do everything “supposedly” right… We don’t get what we were expecting. Happens.
Do we worry, stress about it.. Of course not, we simply either do it again, or move on to something else.
That works when we are dealing with objects. When we are dealing with another person, or plural, people, redoing something isn’t always easy peasy. In PL, Perfect Liberty, we see each new day, as a new canvas. the possibilities are endless.
I enjoy a good moan and groan, just like anyone else, but it is a moment in time, I move on. that is the beauty of Living in Perfect Liberty (Precept #21) We are given the tools, to help us maneuver the challenges we face on a day-to-day basis.
Perfect Liberty is unique in its way of offering personal guidance to members. We are all so different, with our own personalities and characteristics. Through consultations given by PL ministers members receive personal guidance tailored to their individual situations.
I already know that I plan on a wonderful new week. Each night is about having a good sleep so that I can begin my new “adventure”
Smiles and waves, how you doing today? how has it been so far? Had your morning brew yet? Blessings… have a super grand day, doing whatever it is you need or want to do.

Back from our short stint into the States. We had damp weather, some rain, not much, but I had a new experience that had me talking to myself and the strangers around me, who were wondering about my state of mind, Although I have seen the signs, as we have driven by other locations in the States, I have never before stopped and gone in.
What I was wishing was that I had thought to whip out my camera and take a picture. I missed the moment, because I was totally awed by the sight of wall to wall cartons of cigarettes. When we drove in, we did see the long and I mean long line of cars, driving up to the “take out” window. Still I was unprepared for the sight that greeted me when I walked in.
I have never seen that many different kinds of cigarettes, it was so well-organized, a whole wall of cigarettes, with people channeled through lines so that they went through designated lines picked out what they wanted, and then followed the queue to the cashier. The lines are well-defined, keeping the buyers between metal type fencing, Once in the lineup, you have no where else to go but follow the buyer in front of you.
It was amazing how efficient they were at getting customers in and out. No being a smoker, it was like watching a foreign film No smoking inside but the air outside was blue with smoke.
Life offers us new experiences when we least expect it. I went in there for information on the Native territory we were on, but was so “blown away” with what I did find… I left, without the needed information, and didn’t care. I had a super “holy smokes artichokes” WOW moment.
I wish I could have given you a visual, wishing won’t make it so… but believe me… I was thrilled…. (ok ok, it doesn’t take much.. I know.. =^_^= ) If you are ever in the NY,Onadaga area… have a look…
Tomorrow is Wordless Wednesday… and yup I did get great picture to share, I liked it enough to holler…stop the truck!!

What is this?
It is a gift from my son,& his bf & partner, wonderful Brig, who is patiently holding it so I can see it. The question was did I want it all. Hmmm tough decision. In the end I went with the fender and logo. I would have loved the whole truck grill, BUT I did have to be somewhat realistic. I don’t live on land with lots and lots of room, we are on a city lot, walking distance from the city’s core. It now sits in the living room where I can see it every day.
PL Principle # 3 have a mind of appreciation towards others and things.
I am grateful that my son and his Brig are so thoughtful, they are such blessings in my life. I appreciate that he spared me going out to the metal yards to round this up for myself. I was planning on have a go at going there with the tools to harvest whatever I could find. But lovely Brig and he went out on their own, and found it for me. =^_^=
A day of adventure, at Ontario’s Sand Banks. It was on the cool side, the summer tourist and cottage season over, the beach was a paradise of sand and surf.
There is something hauntingly beautiful about spending time on a beach that at times is so crowded with human energy, that it is buzzing… and finding it quiet and peaceful. The land simply “BEING”.
We will be heading out at the end of this week, to go where-ever the road leads. I love my memories of a time that was, but I am keen to discover, the world that will unfold as we take roads less traveled in our quest for new places to appreciate and enjoy

Dogs want to eat, I just want to sleep

you might still be a tad out of focus
but you CAN do it
head for the woods, hills, whatever beckons
yesterday, was yesterday
today is today
seize the day
make it yours

Hi Everyone… my apologies to those of you who have joined our little “group” in the last month or so. I have been experiencing issues with Windows defender, and my security software. While away on my last trip, I noted that several new members had joined up. However when I got back home to have a look and say hello, thank you etc. Some were not to be found, and others caused problems when I tried opening them. So now I am being cautious.
I welcome you .. in time I will find a way to actually get to your blogs. Meanwhile, welcome, welcome, I look forward to getting to know what part of the blogs you enjoy the most. =^_^=
The month of October is a very creative month. In August I begin with the fall greeting cards, and doing up Thanksgiving one, and yes… I get a head start on the ghoulish and witching ones. Yet.. I do not do Halloween. Go figure, I simply like the creativity it brings out in me. I remember in the days when I did ATC* challenges, my envelopes would be decorated with tombstones, ghosts and “characters” in all shapes and sizes.
Today I was told that our cards will be sold at one of the Craft fairs, by two of our members. So here I am doing HO HO HO cards. By December I’m doing Hearts and Flowers cards, and working my way into Irish greetings.=^_^=

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.

smell the sea
follow the crowd
to the
fresh catch
there is no match
indulging in the day’s catch
I totally enjoyed
the succulent lobster
stuffed into my roll
a treat, indeed.
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity
APPRECIATION -& GRATITUDE
