Wednesday Vibes ~

Eat, drink and love… the rest is not worth a nickel...

Yesterday, just for a short time I had the pool all to myself, 

and best of all I had some time to just sit, relax and read 

my book.  Yes, by the pool. Loved every moment of it.

Today after my workout I also enjoyed a little time 

by the pool.  So peaceful, and very quiet because no one

 was there.  Best of times.  I love my mornings.

The boats are now coming back.  Unfortunately,

 the boat that was docked in front of our balcony is back.  

Blocking most of our view.  Not too happy about that, but 

all good. It gives us something to look at at all times.

Sniff still not eating like he should.  Have no idea why, 

and I am a little concerned.  Hopefully it's just the stress of 

having had so much company lately.  Started with all of

my family coming here.  Sure his anxiety began there.

Wishing everyone a beautiful day.  Remember, 

Nobody can predict the future; the idea is 

to have a firm grasp of the present.

What gives meaning are challenges. A beautiful

 life is a meaningful. Say yes to challenges...

Start Of Summer ~

Never get tired of doing little things for others.  Sometimes 

those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts...

Yesterday ended on a little warmer note.  

It did help that Arvid and I went to the hot tub

and stayed under for at least a good half hour.  

Sniff has not seen the sunlight since we got to Chicago. 

Makes him try all sorts of things to stay busy.

  Like me, he gets bored fast. One thing he loves

 to bask in it.  Hopefully if predictions are correct we 

will sure see some this weekend.  One can hope.

From what I was able to research, it seems that the

 last time it was this cold in Chicago was 1992.  

The fact that the lake is still so very cold, that 

means most likely the fog will remain.

Chicago has experienced more rain than usual. 

This also contributes to this crazy weather that’s going

 on right now.  I am chilled to the bones. The apartment

 has no heat during this time of the year.

But yesterday is gone, and today is a new day.  

As I woke up the first thing I noticed was that 

the fog was gone.  The skies are blue and the

 sun is most likely to make its presence felt. 

 Definitely a beautiful start for the first day of summer.

  If this holds, I would live to go to the park with Arvid

 and to our favorite Friday hangout, The Grille Park.  

Who knows maybe a few mojitos today.  

Rain is predicted later on in the afternoon bummer,

but these predictions are constantly wrong.  So in the

 meantime it is happy positive thoughts.  After all it is 

Friday.  Happy Hour Friday is not that far away.

Summertime and the living is easy. It's a smile, 

it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ... it's summertime!..
