Thinking......

It's been a busy day with a wide variety of things going on. My mind has been busy, too, especially this evening. It all started when I went into a business to pick something up for Randy. The 3 people working there were of such different dispositions, I couldn't help but notice. The lady in the back was cranky, unfriendly, rude to her fellow workers. She kept yelling at them about things that didn't suit her fancy. The guy up front was demanding, fast-pace, yet somewhat helpful when she yelled at him enough. The other girl was rather nervous, unsure of herself, and definitely embarrassed by the other woman's actions.

This scene immediately brought to mind a saying I'd heard several years ago. Perhaps you heard it, too. It went something like this. "Be careful. You're sportin' a 'tude!!" Yes, we ARE all spreading some kind of attitude---without "trying" maybe..... or maybe deliberately--to give an intended message.

I left that store realizing that maybe my 'tude could use some adjusting. How about yours?

Two for One!!!

It's the time of year for furry friends to seek warmth and shelter....during these cold winter temps, so they found our house :-) Wallace, our mini-schnauzer, began sniffing fiercly at the cabint door this moring. When we investigated, we were surprised to find two friends instead of one sharing the same trap! I had the bright idea of taking a picture, just so I could post for your enjoyment, by the way. Anyway, in the process of taking the pix, one of the creatures got loose. He ran into the living with Wallace in hot pursuit. Tim moved the bookshelf where he was hiding and the chase was on again. Poor Wallace, though! The mouse disappeared through a crack in the floor. He will hopefully never be heard from or seen again!

What a great way to begin the day, huh? It was convient for me that I was unavailable when all this took place. Wallace on the other hand, has kept a close watch on the cabinet door all day long awaiting his "friend" to return.... Well, until next time, have a wonderful day!!

New Beginnings

Happy New Year! Trust it has begun well for you. Many people begin with resolutions, diets, exercise programs, going back to school, or a number of other "new" beginnings. I decided to try my hand, or rather my mind, at blogging. Why not, huh? One of our children gave us a really nice camera for Christmas, so why not put the pics to good use :-) We'll see how that all goes.....

We did have a wonderful Christmas with all seven children home. First year to have a married child with her husband, and it was super!!! The house always feels so empty when they leave. I know, I know, with five still home it really isn't, but it sure feels that way.

Well, looking forward to great days ahead and ideas to post.....
