Thursday September 4th~

It's not about the destination, 

it's about the journey...

Arvid and I are soon on the road again.  Just being on

 a little road trip makes us happy.  For us the best trips

 are just a little weekend getaway to break up the routine of

regular life, and if the getaway includes a little music,

 good food and good company, so much better.

The destination is not that important, what matters is the 

journey and the memories we make along the way.

Good day to all.  Just remember no matter where

 you go, or what you do, do it with joy.  Make 

those memories that will last a lifetime.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list....

Wednesday September 3rd~

Don't listen to what they say. Go see....

I have been getting this urge lately to see more of the USA. 

 My niece Reshma and Torin live a life where every free time they

 have they explore another part of this beautiful country we live in. 

 Apollo their fur baby is always with them.  Well most times. 

Of all my nieces and nephews, Reshma is the one

 with the travel itch.  As she told her mom and I when 

we visited them, "right now we live to travel and to see

 as much as we can"  Reshma is very good at planning

 and mapping out their little vacations/getaways.

From a very little girl I knew Reshma was

 different, and this I say in the very best of ways. 

Here at home I still keep an eye out for Oliver.  

Hoping I will not see him.  Because if I do, that means he 

was again abandoned.  Honestly Dave and I believe that 

he has a good home now.  Charley is always on the hunt

 for either birds or squirrels.  She's a happy girl as well.

Morning is here and we are ready to face the new day.

It's important to appreciate these moments and 

make the most of them, as they can pass by quickly...

Tuesday September 2nd~

 Rainbows are made of small raindrops. 

Happy lives are made from acts of kindness...

Arvid and I enjoyed a very nice outing on 

Sunday.  We had beautiful weather, made 

for a good time to be dining outdoors . 

We first went to The Landing, our favorite 

spot but on Sunday it was PACKED! there was 

no parking spots available and the lines to get 

into the restaurants went on forever.  It didn't 

stop everyone from having a great time.

Changed our plans, but it was also 

a good change.  As we ate we saw the

Blue Angels fly over us a few times.

Our week ahead is looking good.  A few 

things going on so always happy about that, but 

from the looks of Sniff, he's not ready to face the 

day as yet.  The little birdies sure wear him out.

Arvid had a little outing with Roger while I 

did some grocery shopping. A little rain in

 the morning was also very much needed.  

Charley showed up for food but the little

rascal tried a little then took off to chase birds 

instead. Charley is for sure an expert hunter. 

It's another very good start of our day.  Wishing you 

all the same.  Rainbows sure make me happy.

  

If you want the rainbow, 

you gotta put up with the rain

September 1st~ New Month Begins🍂

September the golden threshold

between summer and winter...

 There's something undeniably enchanting about

September—the way the world starts to slow down, the

 air turns crisp, and the landscape transforms into a vibrant

 tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows. It's the month 

that ushers in cozy sweaters, warm mugs of tea,

 and the irresistible pull of all things autumn.

Summer is coming to an end.  September days have

 the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their

 lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn.

Wishing everyone a good September.  Please 

be kind to us all. Ah, September! You are the 🍂

doorway to the season that awakens my soul.

Labor day weekend draws to an end.  Branson had 

a very exciting and profitable one culminating with a 

grand performance of the U.S. Blue Angels.  Arvid and I

 heard them from our condo when they were practicing.

There comes a day each September 

when you wake up and know the summer 

is over and fall has arrived...
