Respect/love

Found, in a search and find mission the other day. Was actually looking for paint. Thinking I got off the “track” somehow. There she was, patiently waiting to be discovered. It was the highlights in her hair and her make up that “hooked” me. Her eyes are still bright with a sparkle. She had been well loved, now she was discarded waiting for her new fate.

I can easily be distracted when I am in an interesting place. I learn about myself and life by being open to new possibilities. My husband as a reporter, was a great observer, we could be in the same place at the same time, but his sense of what was happening, and mine were often very different. The unique components of his personality and character blended and added to my own “self”.

It is interesting how often in the day, his presence in my life is felt. Never be afraid of love or of differences, in a relationship, they make us stronger. Love is unconditional, it is faith, trust, & so much more. The word respect is so important, in defining a strong relationship, whatever the relationship might be.

Is RESPECT in your life? “love”

Thursday Doors – 9.20

Charm of days gone by. There is so much to take in when you travel a back road. You have to know that you will not get anywhere fast, you simply accept the moments of discovery. This was the scene that beckoned loud enough for me to stop and actually get out. It is aged, tired and worn, but yet it is standing proud. Wind, snow, ice, rain, yes they have left their mark, but the place, for me , still had a quiet dignity. It stood, just off a paved road, but the surrounding land, was rich and bore the remnants of a bountiful crop.

The day was a happy one, and totally productive in a very creative way. I hope you enjoyed the same.

Happy Tuesday everyone

Treasures found yesterday, wonderful bricks, a sign with history, and a set of doors to a root cellar.

Does anyone know what these doors are called? I want to say trap doors, but.. I am not sure? I found wonderful doors, but will save them for Norm’s Thursday Doors.

It was misting off and on, practically all day but that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. I have this lovely friend who I can always count on to get in touch at the last moment and suggest a road trip. Whooo hoooo out of the blue, we took off for an adventure that led us to a wonderful tea room in Perth, Ontario. We really did well, we got there early enough to get a table at the lace curtained table where we could enjoy the street traffic on Perth’s main street at the noon hour.

I didn’t think of it, or I would have taken pictures of the delicate china our lunch was served on, Bonnie had a fancy tea, while I stayed with my ice water.. We both tried the Thai soup, while Bonnie had a sandwich I had a wrap, all delicious. YES we both indulged in dessert. Uh huh, not telling, calories were not counted. Address will be shown below.

Doing something ..just because… can be a wonderful way to enjoy a mini vacation when none was planned.

Happiness is something that comes from within. Doing something that brings smiles and a lot of chuckling is a super way to make a dull weather day, a whole lot of fun. Good food, and great company Whoooo hoooo Katchoo.. =^_^=

Wordless Wednesday – time was

Once alive with tourists, visitors enjoying a bit of history while touring the carefully tended gardens, and game park nearby. This “car” now sits, empty. A relic days gone by.

NH discovering

Hello on Tuesday.. Was bright and sunny here today, yet where I would be up and out of the house bright and early, I was slow in getting going. Happens, I may have mentioned that while in NH I was suddenly hit with a flash of recognition. I didn’t want to shop, or really look around. I had enough! I’m sorry, for those of you who have had to pick yourselves of the floor, I assure you, it really happened

Such things do happen. Let’s face it, a book was written about the “strange events” that have been recorded to have happened, in the hills of NH. Shrouded Memories, True Stories from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, by Floyd W. Ramsey.

Will it last, who knows. So far, so good, I ran errands yesterday and today, and was not tempted to browse, or “look around”.. I applied myself to what needed to be done, then came back home. I do have some of my artwork on display at Raglan Art Walk 2017 in SL, I have participated for the last couple of years. I do need to send out some invitations.

What you see here, is my darling Canaille (Portuguese Water Dog) watching her human “daddy” eating a sandwich while relaxing with his “notebook” after a day of driving his “lovely” wife around touring the wilds of NH. You can see she is trained on his every move, I think, she believes, that if she waits it out, he will drop something. LOL he never does, but she never gives up hope.

That is what life is all about isn’t it. We need to live each moment, focused on what we are doing, appreciating the moment. When we are “hit” with an “idea” or “inspiration” we should listen, take heed, recognize that it is a “personal” message”

communication

When I saw this picture, I had to look twice, it was on a Pinterest feed, but you can see on it, it originally came from Facebook. Text was on it, you are seeing the photo exactly as it was sent to me.

Does this picture ring any bells for you? Can you relate to this picture. How long ago do you think this was? I don’t think it was really all that long ago. I do recall seeing old replays of television shows where people had to go to where-ever the phone was to answer it. Often, there was only one phone to a household.

I do have a cell phone .. but confess to often forgetting it at home, or not having it where I can access it. In fact, I prefer meeting up with a friend, and chatting in person. It is true with cell phones, and Skype, we can communicate with family, friends and do business using the internet or cell phones more conveniently. But do I consider it an improvement on the quality of life?.

Any thoughts?
