Thursday doors, 11.3.16

Had to get a closer look. Around the block we drove, so I could really see t his entrance way to a church we saw along the way

Nice colours used in the stained glass…I like the simplicity of it.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

This entrance was hidden, but I was determined to get a closer look. the building appealed to me, we are trying to get more information on it. Hwy 3, NY State going towards Watertown. It is not always easy getting the real estate people to call us back…

Some of you are really good at search and find, this is the real estate agent of note.. there was another sign, but it was long over grown with vegetation.

OK so it isn’t everyone’s idea of “turn-key” and it doesn’t have the greatest “curb appeal” To each his/her own, right.

I see a ton of possibility, AND it sets my mind to “dreaming” of what was, and what could be…

Never give up on your dreams. always look for the “something” that appeals to you. It isn’t about what others may want, it is what “speaks to you”

ps. I was feeling rather sluggish with the weather today, happy, but draggin.. then I started to work on this blog, sharing with you, I was pulling out my pictures of this latest “find” of mine. I couldn’t help it, my heart took wings, a smile as broad as my face plastered itself across my “pus” this building makes me smile, what can I say, the old weathered wood, the placement of the windows on the second story, watching out on the busy hwy.

The building was at an intersection, the sign was really too faded to read, but we thought we saw the word mini.. could have been a convenience store. Certainly there was ample parking. Yeah life is good. =^_^=

Blessings of the day to everyone… May you find peace and happiness, and your smile shine like a beacon of light for all who meet up with you today.

wishing

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!!

Chev Truck -favourite finds & people

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

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Learn to appreciate all and everything in your life, everything happens for a reason.

finally, a flashback

This is a gate that we drove by some 4, 5 years ago. I’ve never forgotten it, and I have hunted through my files to find it. Never could locate it. Today, Facebook sent me a..do you remember this.. message, it wasn’t this gate, but a location close by, in that time and space.

I had seen this rock and was smitten. I was sure I’d never see it again, but here it is. Good ole’ Facebook. There is something about rocks that appeals to me. Any size will do, if it speaks to me, that’s it, I have to stop and take a closer look.

When putting together a Chinese garden, (and Japanese) rocks are very symbolic. Just seeing these pictures again, take me back to that fall day. I can hear the crispness of the leaves under foot, and smell that delicious scent of musky foliage and the moist evergreens getting ready for the winter season, Even the sky is a different hue of blue.

The earth and moss blend together, leaving the faint scent of the cooling breeze, I can’t help it, I bend closer for another look.

The center leaves are fluffy with a soft baby down, or fuzz on a peach. I can almost see the first velvet touch of frost that will soon come to tenderly lie in the opening at its core. I am energized with the beauty of it all.

The gate was so haunting, it has never been forgotten… and now.. seeing it again, the memories of that time are just like new. A rerun of my very own special “movie”

Today at church we talked about putting “makoto” in all we do.. (sincerity) (being present, in the moment) that is so true, when we are really present, our memory is etched in such a way, that we get to enjoy it again.

Thank you for sharing these moment with me. We were in the area of Prince Edward County, we had taken a wine tasting route, totally not something we would ordinarily do.. and look what we found. No, not wine, deliciously delightful, slices of Mother Nature.

Thursday doors 10.20

Right. If only life were that simple..

Oophs sorry, wrong door, and you can simply close it and go to the next one. It happens more often than we would like to acknowledge. Another project, another impossible discussion with ?, a deadline looming and we’ve not come to a decision.

If we landed in a bit of a pickle, chances are, we by our own actions had a hand in lading us there. Time to stand back and really examine the “door/issue/challenge”. See it as an opportunity.

Don’t be deterred by how it looks, if you want inside, or to know what is behind the doors, then you will need to creatively find a way to do just that.

A door big or small, any shape at all, has always fascinated me, I doubt that will change anytime soon. Even when I know what is behind the door. I want to open the door and go inside. Unless of course it is housework, and dirty dishes waiting on the other side.

plain on the outside maybe, but inside…comforts of home in a land far far away

Where would you like to be today?

Come on, come outside and play..

we can each take a turn

at having our own way…

hahahaha

do you believe me?

sure you do

after all

I am after all

an another version

YOU

apologies

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.=^_^=
