An open door, is welcoming, come inside and visit. These doors beckon the visitor to come inside to view the shining old fire trucks. Polished with dedication, they shout out le bienvenue.

I revisited this picture wanted to put it on my screen for a backdrop. I can’t see how one would open that car door?

In this case, I’ve had a good day, I’ve been creative, and I’ve spent time with friends I feel grateful, and appreciate that I am so blessed. If today was a picture it would have been a watercolour of soft harmonizing colours. Yep, calm, peaceful and beautiful.

It is said that one can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I have resisted changing to this new format on WordPress for ages. My PC died right. I had to get a new tower, hard drive etc. For some reason, all my bookmarks are gone, Boo hoo. Big girls do cry.

Phew… I found a new way to get my pictures from my camera into this new set up. See good things come out of change. One has to believe everything will be alright. Thank goodness I didn’t have to hold my breath for too long.

Everything is OK now. I can safely put myself to bed, and know I’ll sleep =^_^=

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”

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity

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.

from the main rooms

yes on second thought

youy may want to refrain from opening closed doors

feel free to use the spa

should you need a quick fix

dinner will be served around six

I’ll do my best to sit with you

although it could get complex

I might need some time to dress

ignore the baby should he scream

after all, this is only a dream

see you on my return…. have fun, enjoy everyday!

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.

Chop Suey Thursday

Finally the colour is appearing along the fence and in our backyard. On my way to Orleans this afternoon, I was again delighted by the colour the lined the highway. This time I was taking another way in, I was driving by farmland, fruit stands, and even a golf course. So I enjoyed the contrast of colour against the manicured shades of green on the course itself.

Norm (Thursday Doors) I did wonder, if this could be considered a “kind of” door. After all it does symbolize the ending of life here on earth, and the journey to another “dimension”. After a brief dialogue with myself .. I passed on the idea… but I did like the picture.

I like discovering old resting places… some are a tad sad due to neglect… but if you see beyond the disrepair .. you discover wonderful works of art, and interesting sentiments Mother Nature has a way of adding her own decorative etchings and colouring on the tombstones.

You all know how much I love the play of light and shadows, in the fall, the darkness deepens, and I can lose myself in the depth of imagination and vegetation that has started to decay. Life is beautiful in all stages.

I have no idea, where this is, or how this picture found its way into the folder I was viewing.. but.. hey it is a door and by jove, it is Thursday

Tomorrow, I am having my second eye done.. (how many does she have you ask.. even I wonder at times).. so I will “see” you when I “see” you.

Have good days, peaceful nights, and I won’t say be good, I’ll say… live each moment, put your whole heart into it, and you will never have regrets.

memory lane

The pumps are gone, the mechanics retired, but the building remains… this little lot is perched on the corner where two secondary roads intersect. (see below) I liked its character. =^_^=

What were the cars it serviced in its “hay” day. The following cars were in a collection that I found in New Hampshire, this was one of the nicest and well maintained displays I’ve seen in many a day.

check out the bee on the bonnet. What a restoration! You will find these “ladies” at

Kancamagus Collectables on the Kancamagus Hwy, Rte 112 between Rte 3 and 1 -93, North Woodstock, NH. USA ( 603-745-0915 ) for those of you who saw the phone booth, it was in this location. Admission is free.

The vintage service center is in Madrid, New York, USA

Life is full of wonders. We need only look around us for the remnants of a time gone by. The world is a wonderful place, and we have had such a colourful and creative past. Today we live every day, starting each morning with a brand new canvas.

10,7 > appreciation

Isn’t this beautiful. A picture of a faded bloom from Australia, a very dear and talented friend down under sent me flowers the other night. This was one of the pictures. With the hours spent sitting in the hospital this past week, I felt that this could be a floral representation of my “bed hair”… Soft wispy and static charged.

Being in a different climate, and location on the globe, the vegetation will be so different, here we are going into the colours of autumn, which for us, are the reds, golds, deep metallic shades of rust and crimsons. Where Mother Nature has yet to focus, there is a soft peachy blush to the greens on the hardwood trees, Even a squeeze of lemon.

Please permit me to take a few moments to say a heart-felt thank you to each and every one of you who share this time with me. I know while I was away recently, this blog gained new readers, with my being away from the office, i saw mail, but could not respond. Thank you. Welcome. I could not be … without you.. I truly do care for each and every one of you. It is a joy and a pleasure to visit with you.

In Canada, this is our Thanksgiving week-end. please travel safe if you are on the roads, eat wisely, =^_^= think, “waste” or “waist”. LOL there is a spoil sport in every group.

Happy Weekend …. may your days be blessed with activities that will bring happy memories for years to come.

Chop suey Tuesday- impressions

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.
