GOOD DAY

Love to tell you of good days,  because some are not as good as others.  It should be that way.  If everything goes all "rosie"  how could you know the difference.  Great thinking at 7 in the morning.  Amy took me to the DOLLAR STORE or is it DOLLAR TREE?  Either way, it was fun.  They were well stocked with Valentine and St. Patrick Day stuff.  I went for a supply of greeting cards.  I use a lot of Birthday ones.  They are very nice ones and they were well stocked.  Of course I came out with more than cards.  One item stood out.  CRACKER JACKS!!! Remember them? They claim "The snack America has LOVED for over 120 years."  Alright, I believe it.  And don't forget the prize inside.      We picked up Chick Filet'  Came back here and ate in my Bubble.  And of course shared a box of Crack Jack"s..  Brought about old memories to us both.  She then took my grocery list and went to Kroger for me.  Thank you special daughter. 

Yesterday was also good. Amy and Ivy came for visit and lunch.  So glad to see her.  She looked great and she brought me a beautiful glass container of three hyacinthine bulbs ready to burst with blooms.  This morning one is fully opened and is a beautiful purple.  Smells sweet and Bitsy is leaving it alone!!Enjoyed  Ivy so much.  I paraded her and the arrangement into  the Cyber.  Everyone thought she was so cute.  Come again Ivy, I enjoy the attention.

SMALL DRAMA

I did not write early because I could not think of anything worth writing.  A small thing just happened, kind of funny.  I stepped out my door to replace flowers on my table.  Now you know everybody knows to close the door.  A certain furry ball may just roll out.  Only a second, I thought.  Well from the corner of my eye slowly moving along, I spied HER.  I looked around-nobody in sight-good.  Should I grab her or play it cool.  She looked so proud as she moved on down the hall, hugging the wall.  I eased behind her, saying sweet things to her yet wanting to break her neck for putting me in this mess.  She moved into the next opening. my neighbor's entrance.  Oh, please don't let him open his door.  She  turned and headed  back toward home.  Good.  I walked behind her as she picked up speed.  Should I jump her or play it cool.  I decided to grab her.  I wrapped my hands around her generous soft belly and almost dropped her.  But we did make it back safely and she seems proud of her breakout.  I am glad nobody saw us.  I am sure this was not worth writing about, but it is what happened.

GOOD MORNING

Think Spring.  Hard to do when we are used to more Winter than we have had. But the season isn't over yet.  There may be some cold yet. So last winter was not much colder. I bought a new red coat last year. Got to wear it two times.  Not at all this year.

My Valentine display in my hall for everyone to see, is very pretty.  The old valentines are interesting to everyone.  I have more left over.  I stored them in plastic sheets to keep them.  I should have done it long ago as the writing is fading. Truman's Mother saved some of his that he received in school a long, time ago.  How sweet of her, because they mean a lot to me. Wish I had saved mine.   I remember making mine instead of buying them.  Made the paste too with flour and water.   Remember?  That was in Elementary school.  Later we got a little modern. According to the times. Whether we were in-or-out- of the money. Song title in there. I am full of them. Useless things to remember.

LITTLE TOKYO

One of the best on Sunday.  The Miso soup and Spring Rolls were great yesterday.  Such a quiet place and with all the usual gang- it was nice. M. G. & Ryan love the fresh sea food.   They are adventurous  with choices.  We got caught up with all their projects and they are so busy living their lives and I had to think how Truman and I  thought we were really something going our new way of life.  So different from our parents.  Interesting how time changes and each generation has such a lot of differences.  Yet,  many things stay the same.  You have to be on the other side like me to really realize so many things.  Thinking too much this morning.

Saw the sky writer this morning.  In fact there were two working together to have fun.  Such a beautiful spring like day. 
Super Bowl behind us and soon the impeachment -- what will be next?

GROUNDHOG DAY

Do you believe the Groundhog in York, Pa?  He did not see his shadow, so an early Spring!!  Well if Punxsutawney lived here, he would see his shadow this morning.  Beautiful sunshine here would really chase him back in hiding.  Just fun and he is not always right by the way. 

WILDLIFE REPORT :  A resident spotted a large skunk under his balcony.  Then security discovered several more roaming around.  Eleven in all were captured by a professional.  Several cats were relocated to shelters.  So far the one opossum is still on the run.  My I am living in a jungle.  We also see deer on occasion. They get to stay.  The skunks were relocated too. We do have excitement from time to time, but no groundhog!!  We are kind to all the wildlife, especially the two legged ones who live inside the building.  Don't you know the Security team had a field day?

MORNING AFTER

As Scarlet would say,  "I do declare!", I am amazed at my 93rd Birthday. So many people have been involved in wishing me blessings for the next year.  How can I not look forward to it.  From flowers, lunches, cards, visits, presents, phone calls and even singing in the hall, I feel really celebrated.  And humbled that I know so many caring and loving people.  Thank you everyone.   On top of that--it is not raining!!  Another blessing.  Thank you Lord, you are so good to me.
