A Little Touch of Red White & Blue American Style

Hello my dear friends!

It is so good to have a new post to

stay in touch with you.

As most of you know I had a bad fall

a few weeks ago and I injured my leg.

Healing seems very slow to me,

but I know each day the healing process

is in action.  Little by little the miraculous ability

for my body to heal is in action.

Healing is amazing!

My little Cash stays close by me.  Both of my little

fur babies have stayed close by.  They know there is

something that is not right.  It is funny how they know

and how they show their worry and concern.

I don't know what I would do without them.

So, things have come to a small stand still

around here at Apt. 157.

I am a decorator!  I love decorating my home,

I love surrounding myself with color and

happiness.  But. . . . Right now not so much

is being changed and decorated.

One of my favorite holidays to decorate for is

The 4th of July.

I love this tradition filled holiday.

Being with my family. . . watching the hometown parade

Picnics/Barbeques. . . Fireworks. . . Rodeo. . 

Concerts in the park.

Well....This year will be different

I can tell you this, me and my family will do our

own celebrating.  We love our country, 

The Great United States of America!

Yes the America I love!
God shed His Light on Thee.

The 4th of July is a couple of weeks away.
There is a possibility I will feel
strong enough to add a few more
Red White and Blue.

I just take a day at a time.

I hope your Summer is going well.

Sitting ~ Just Sitting ~ Patio Sitting

Hello my friends!

It is good to be back to blogging.

I took a little break.

Nothing dramatic, just needed a break

from social media.

Actually, I needed a break from life

in general.  But somehow

that rarely happens,

The clock keeps ticking, the days weeks

months and soon years keep on going.

Just a short break is all I needed.

In this time of Covid-19, Protests, Unsettled lives

and all manner of unbelievable things that are happening

It is good to take a break, deep breath, 

look up. . . and let silence fill your mind.

It is good and refreshing to be outside and

Just Sit!  

Ya that is what I said, Just Sit!

Since I moved to my Apt. 157

I don't have a yard, not even a tiny yard.

I have a Patio. . . and I love it.

I like nothing more than to go outside

and sit on my patio.

I come from a long line of Sitters.

Porch Sitters, Yard Sitters

Outdoor Sitters, etc.

But since I don't have a Porch or a Yard

I am what I call a Patio Sitter.

 I like sitting outside on my patio 

and just listen....

I like the fresh air, the sounds of my little

spot of earth.  I like the sound of children's laughter

The voices of my neighbors and friends.

I have the rail road tracks close by and I

like the sound of the trains. The sounds of nature

soothes my soul. The sound of silence. . .. 

allows my mind to wander. . . to ponder

or just to let peace fill my mind.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are 

sitting under my great-grandpa Pickering's

big shade tree.  Family would gather under

that tree and just sit and visit.

Sometimes it would just be me and my great-grandpa,

and sometimes it would just be me,

Yip, I am a sitter, I am a Patio Sitter

I hope I can always enjoy

just sitting outside enjoying my

little spot of this beautiful earth.
