Hello,
Beautiful Sunday morning.
Alvin and I were up early and just came back from a walk.
As we walked around the ponds in the park, I for a moment closed my eyes.
I could feel the cool breeze lightly dancing on my face.
I could hear the boom of the water from the fountain as it rushed up and then down.
I could hear the chirping of birds as they enjoyed the early morning.
I could smell the roses ….. the fragrance from heaven.
What a glorious walk.
Made me dream of walks like this everyday.
It wasn’t until we were away from the water that I noticed in the field (houses back onto) in the park …. a bunch of birds were flying about.
As I looked more closely I saw this big bag of garbage in the field.
A small flock of sea gulls, crows and magpies were ripping through the bag scattering garbage all over the field.
What a nice sight for those folks to awake to.
As we walked around on the sidewalk I noticed some garbage outside of that area …. a smaller bag …. so I grabbed a poop bag and squeezed it in..
ARGH.
From beauty to not.
All within a few moments.
As we keeping motoring on …. water bottle, garbage and Alvin, in tow.
I noticed as we came out of the park – another garbage bag ripped open littering the street.
Not sure why folks would put their trash out several days before the garbagemen arrive.
OH well.
I did pick up what I could …..
I did my small part.
On a lighter note.
These photos tell the story.
Alvin had his supper before these photos up insisted upon having some veg.
So I gave him this big head of broccoli.
He was sitting at the back door looking at me with the broccoli in his mouth.
By the time I could grab my phone/camera ….. these were the best shots I could get.
I only wished that you could have seen him at first …. looked like a green soother in his mouth.
That is my boy ….. silly.
My grand pups did not spend the afternoon/evening with us after all.
Their parents thought less stress for Miss Aspen to stay at home.
She needs to have GRAVOL to travel.
Poor girl.
Alvin does not love car rides either.
I get it.
We did have an unexpected visit from the kids after the ceremony.
The ceremony was held close by at the DEVONIAN GARDENS.
Teddy did join us for the day.
We had fun.
We had a walk just after he arrived before the heat of the day set in.
Quiet evening…..
Watched a movie.
Well the girls are coming for coffee this morning.
We had better have breakfast here …. I got sidetracked putting away some things in my office.
Have an awesome Sunday.
Looks like another hot one on the way.
Remember KINDNESS and RESPECT make for better todays and tomorrows.
Always, Carol & Alvin

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 29th day of January, 2015.
How are you this morning?
Another weekend about to arrive.
What are your plans?
Mine are pretty much the same from week to week.
I have a list of things to do on Saturday my day off for the week.
The list can range from laundry which is always on the top to running out to take Alvin to the Vet to have his pedicure to coffee with my girl friends to making jewellery to cleaning.
It is a varied list for the most part from week to week.
NICE.
I am very blessed and even though sometimes my “EGO” gets in the way ( I do not like when it rears it’s ugly head as I always go over and over the situation and give myself heck ).
I guess most people have a moment or three.
I try very hard every day to be polite, helpful and kind and not to let my feelings which are my EGO take over a situation.
Because it usually means I let a comment or situation be personal and most times they are not.
Last night I let some comments get my EGO and I regret a couple of things that I said and not that they were particularly mean or low-spirited but I felt regretful for letting the words leave my mouth.
You know what I mean.
I believe that most people let it happen from time to time.
Sometimes it is just that we take things personally when they are not meant to be .
Anyway …. that is my “thought” for this Friday.
Try to … I will be a better, more thoughtful, kind and generous person today.
Thank you for reading and I love your comments.
Special Hello to: all my fellow bloggers ….. great job.
Always, Carol and Alvin
P.S: this thought has always ran through my mind ….. who are the people who get to design the “facial tissues boxes” ….. the KLEENEX boxes and such. They always do such an awesome job. Now I want my kleenex boxes to match my decor. I would love to design these boxes. I think this would be one of the best jobs on the planet and you never hear about it.
