and colors too. What does a man do when he's new to town .... he goes looking for a new pair of boots. Let me tell you ... all shapes, all sizes, all colors & all kinds of materials. Being logical .. a man needs a utility pair (cheap!) and Sunday-going-to-meetin' pair and a pair to wear OUT TO IMPRESS! what?!!! $$$$$ so he just looked, tried on and said 'thank you, kindly!' Do you own BOOTS? what kind? dare to share the size? do you have a 'dream' pair of boots?? talk later! m

LOVE YOU ... saying it!!

 
We all say this to our beloveds (and we really should say it more often!) ... darlin' D and I have this 'game' we play = he says "I love you" and I'll chime back "I love you more!" then he'll say "I've loved you longer" .. get the jist of it? Well, there's a song 'I love you more than the sun' ... I'll say that and we can go on and on with this ... I saw this and had to PRINT this. I put it into B&W and soft-focused one word 'LOVE'. Tell those you love ... I love you more ...try ending your conversation this way ... or whisper it in their ear ... just say it! have a great day, xoxo, m

I did NOT 'plan' to travel ... but that's what I've been doing lately. To Destin FLORIDA with the Church Ladies Gone Wild ... then to Anaheim b/c darlin' D had a convention ... then to Boise! These photos are some that just captured my heart. I have always admired and been fascinated with the fire dept. the last 3 photos are of oldest son Ryan and his place of employment. He likes his job and is working hard.

BROTHERS ... how many does it take to change a light bulb? Well at least 2!! this is on the front porch of Ryan's home and Paul seems to be doing ALL the work!!

CONTENTMENT ... what is it?

I have a story for all of you ... but a Q first for all of U: what level is your contentment????? be honest!!! Every third Thursday I head to my recycling place, to say 'Ola' to my new friends (Tavo & Gregoio) and catchup with their lives. Well, Wednesdays is trash pickup in my neighborhood. For some reason I was awoken (only by the Good Lord Himself b/c I never awaken at 5AMish) to witness this .... a woman (older than me) was searching for bottles, plastics, and glass. She must visit the recycling place too! However, I watched her face ... when she 'captured' a 'treasure' she smiled and was PROUD of herself. WOW, imagine being excited ~ even content with your AM's work/duties. I'm sure she was doing this to survive! I wondered if she had a family. I thought to myself: how do I go and give her all my cans/plastic/glass to help her. I couldn't answer my own Q ..... ARE YOU CONTENT with your life? with your duties? with your self? with the treasures YOU capture each day??? I know that I know that I know we are given treasures daily ... WORDS from God (Donie that's for you girlfriend) .. we ought to share these more often!!!! so here's my challenge ~~~ enjoy life, be CONTENT with whatever TODAY brings!! Have a great weekend for darlin' D and I are off to Anaheim!! love always, m
