Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday, September 20th, 2020.
Two more days till officially FALL.
The smoke from down south fills our skies this morning.
There is rain in the forecast with the potential to clear the smoke and possibly to help with fires in Oregon.
At the moment I am loading some photos from my phone to the computer so that I am able to share them with you.
I am not sure why I also end up loading ones that loaded before …… makes no sense to me.
I will have to ask my “technical support.”
Earlier I was texting with my brother who was on his way to do some farming helping out friends and neighbours.
Mentioned that they were moving equipment this morning but have been combining the past few days.
Also skies are smoky and no rain.
Fingers crossed that the farms are able to get what they need done without any moisture.
Such a time sensitive period of the year ….. harvest crops.
Wishing them time to bring in the crops.
Yesterday we had company.
My daughter who was supposed to come in the afternoon was able to come in the morning.
We had a text from Alvin’s BF Teddy’s Mom who wondered if he could come for a visit.
I texted her back and set up a playdate for 2:30 …… which extended to include Teddy’s little sister Kobi.
Amanda came about 11:30 just as I was finishing up with the LIVE on Facebook Fifth Avenue Show.
She had picked up a few things from the grocery store and bought me a surprise “potted plant” and also gave me some crafting paper.
Lucky me.
The plant matched the one that my friend Pauline gave me for my birthday.
I do not know what kind of plant they are …..
We had such a great visit …… laughing and catching up.
I love having my daughter come to visit.
Perfect touch to the weekend.
Not long after she left …. Teddy and Kobi arrived.
Their Mom was going grocery shopping and asked if I needed anything.
“No” I replied as I already got the few things on my list.
The pups ran around the house …..literally bouncing off of each other and me.
They were so happy to see us.
Kobi has not been over for awhile.
It was good to see her.
Of course, Teddy as well.
When Iris came back she had bought me the same plant that Amanda had given me earlier except this one is pink along with a box of tulip bulbs.
How blessed am I?
Very.
Well after a considerable amount of time I have been unsuccessful in downloading the photos from yesterday from my phone to the computer.
I am definitely not tech savvy.
So as I would like to go for a walk.
I will try this again later and perhaps post them tomorrow.
ARGH, ARGH and more ARGH, I say.
Disappointed to say the least.
Not sure why sometimes things go off without a hitch and the next time, not without a hiccup.
Wishing you the best Sunday.
Filled with love and laughter.
Maybe you are spending the day finishing that book that you just cannot put down.
Maybe you are on your way out the door to go for a nice long walk with your dog.
Maybe you are spending the day baking some cookies and a banana loaf or three.
Maybe you are doing laundry.
Maybe you are going to spend the day watching movies on NETFLIX by yourself or with family or friend(s).
Maybe you are going to paint a picture or take some photos.
Maybe you are going to clean your closets.
Maybe just maybe you will do something that brings a smile to your face and joy to your heart.
Just maybe …. just maybe.
Speaking of NETFLIX, I started to watch this series with Hilary Swank and Josh Charles about first mission to MARS.
I don’t remember the name but it was really good.
So good, that I watched several episodes and did not go to bed until 11:30 p.m.
Best day.
Living with kindness and respect.
I will learn this technology soon ….. time for some more lessons, methinks.
I/We shall remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
