Wednesday.



Hi. Happy Midweek.

Life is good; I keep telling myself that today. I am not the homeless person living down by the river. I am not the person who has lost a loved one. I am not the person who lives in a one bedroom apartment with 8 other people. I have it pretty good. If I ever sound like I am bored or not happy about my life, it isn't true. I need to have a better attitude!

I love driving into my driveway and seeing my tulips in bloom. That is one 20 dollar investment that was well worth it. They are so pretty. I cut a few off today and put them in my apartment so I can enjoy them lots and lots.

Do you love the picture of my nephew and his family's new puppy? So very cute. I was talking to my sister yesterday and told her that I was excited to meet the puppy. She told me she figured the dog was higher on the totem pole than my actual family members. That is not true but I love puppies. Seeing E in that photo made me think: "Man, E is so big!" Those kids are growing so fast. I am glad that I still get to go see them every summer. Funny note about the puppy. My brother-in-law convinced my sister that they needed a puppy so there would be at least one thing at the house that would greet him happy and be glad to see him when he came home. So funny!

I also put a picture of my pussy willows. I used to go and gather those at my Grandfather's farm. My memories of those times, on that farm and in the woods surrounding them are so rich and special. Bringing home those willows brought back so many of those memories and I am glad I said yes to the three dollars. As my mom would say, "They just make me happy!"

Well, off to bed. Much too late.
