C.LOUDY EAIRLIER----SUN OFF AND ON

 Sounds like my weather people.  Anyway, I thought of Truman's Papa ---  George Whitfield Ellis.  THE UNCLOUDED DAY was one of his favorite Hymns.  I thought of him as a very good man and he helped Truman 's mother instill values in Truman's life that were lifelong.  He was a very good man too.  The country side and near a small town was indeed a good place for a boy to grow up.  Hard at times, but good training for life.  Little country Church was named Ellis Church. Methodist and was built by his ancestors.  I am convinced that a background like he grew up in was very positive and right.

SATURDAY ????Y

 Purple for grapes and dark red for cherries (almost purple).  I have been enjoying those beauties.  Worth the seeds in the cherries.  I shared a few  cherries with one of my neighbors who is always giving me sugar-free candy from her bridge partner.  Passed around because I safe the dark chocolate for Jan.  As The World Turns is our motto at SCV.  Give and accept little favors, keeps the world turning.

EARLY FOR THE BEAUTY

 Yes, early on the Balcony was a beauty today.  So still that the Lake looked like a painting. The Willow and Cyprus trees' reflections were so clear.  Number 3 came on the scene again.  I looked to the roof next to me and 3 birds and  spaced just so were perched.  I was amazed when they flew one after the other to the Cross on the Chapel. One on the each point of the Cross.  Wow!!!!

Picked up my NEW glasses. I am so pleased with the reading ones.  Glad I took Dr.'s advice on that one.  I like the new regular one too. So that went well.  Lunch was great.  Cesar Salad and a slice of pizza.  Will go back there again. All and all, a good day but tired as usual.  I try and try to do more, but alas I seem to do less and less.

SO BE IT

THEY COME IN 3'

 I mean my mind works that way. Have you noticed?  THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, WINKING, BLINKING AND NOD, THREE LITTLE GIRLS, BACON, EGG AND TOAST, WILLIE NELSON, ME, & BIDEN, 3 MINUTES TO SPEAK, on and on. Then there is the best of all---FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.  AMEN

DANCING PARTNER

 Do you remember my several blogs with the little dancing 3 foot man (his size changes withe each Blog).  He found me this morning on the Balcony.  The breeze and temp was good and I thought of him.  He was the subject of a few Blogs in the past. He lives, I guess under the stairs on first floor and has surprised me several times.  He jumps out and says "May I have this dance?)  The music starts and we twirl and spin our best and he bows and vanishes.  What fun. I have wondered where he has been hiding from me.  As the gentle breeze and a sort of low temp was going, He appeared on the Balcony!!! "May I have this dance?" He pushed the chairs aside, made a long dance floor and Took my hand and away we went.  My robe flowing, I felt like a fairy floating in the air.  He is a good dancer and he carried me away. All a sudden the music stopped and he waved goodbye. Promising to meet again when I need him to lift me up and away to dance.

FLOWERS FOR LITTLE DOT

 I grow my own  thank you.  Although I love to get them from a thoughtful and loved one so much.  My little pink and purple Zinnias are delighting me.  I made a fresh vase full this  morning.  My Mother loved flowers.  She grew them where ever they lived.  Brought them to Church for the Altar table regularly.  I did not appreciate her gift, just took it without thinking what she was doing.  Her gift to everyone.  I like to think it was a gift I got from her and passed on to my daughters and grands too.  What a sweet gift.

NEW WEEK

 New start.  That is how I look at a new week.  Be more cheerful and hope to feel good.  The chances of feel  "good" are slim at 97 and tending to every little ailment as I can pick up, is a blessing as long as they are "little."  Goes with the small ailments I have.  Keeps me busy.  "Which one do I pick for today?"  Let the games begin.  Or how about a "day without something to complain about?"  Move over "trouble", find something good to talk about.  Food is an off subject.  Did you see the Sophia pictures of the new Kitty at their house.  So cute this morning, fetching? Smart cat.  I have owned many cats in my days, but never one that would "fetch" like a dog.  Would make a good one for the TV shows.
