Beautiful Days ~

Beauty isn't about having a pretty face.  It's about having

a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul...

The fog combined with the colors of fall makes for a very scenic drive to work.

Yes it was a cold start of the day, but the sun is shining and the day is beautiful.

As I left home this morning the most beautiful sight awaited me.  A family

of deers.  Of course the looked at me, and then took off.  But not before I managed

to get a few pictures of them.  I look forward to them everyday.

That's them in flight mode.  Boy do they scare easily.  As they ran away,

a little black and white kitty chased after them.  Nope did not get that picture.

Quiet day here so far.  can't complain about that.  It's how it always should be.

At Arvid's hotel it is also calm and quiet.  The next few weeks Branson will

be flooded with tourist again.  Like I have mentioned before, the colors

of fall and the Christmas lights draw a huge crowd every year.

I love driving home in the evenings.  That's when I get to see the beauty of Christmas at

every turn you make.  Branson is definitely a beautiful place at nights.  Especially now.

To all a good day.  Soon Friday already.  This week has just flown by.

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters...

Saturday In Branson...

Ever had one of those days when when you're holding

 a stick and everybody looks like a piñata?...

Yesterday for some reason was not one of my best days.  It was cold.  Really cold and 

combined with that I was missing my Brutus too much.  I know it will get better.  Today was 

not that day, but there is always tomorrow and more tomorrow.  Yes, time is my best friend.

My friend Anna, even with the turmoil going on in her life is always there to perk me 

up.  I am always grateful for her and I hope the day will come when something good

 happens in her life.  It sure is about time she was also given a second chance.

I woke up early to take a picture of the mailbox covered with frost.  For us it's a "first"
It's been very very long Arvid and I have experienced living in winter climates.  Never
have I seen such low digits in the temperatures.  Well not in over 20 years or so.

 The novelty will soon wear our that's for sure.  No snow right now, but we keep hearing that
 it's coming.  Hopefully like most newscasters, the ones here in Branson are also mistake.

Sniff is the only one in the family who seems to be affected by the cold.  He as had the
 sniffles for a few days now with sneezing fits throughout the day and night.  He sleeps
 snuggled close to either Arvid or I and loves being cushions with the blankets and our bodies.

 Arvid loves it because Sniff keeps him extra warm.  I have had symptoms of the cold but
 no cold as yet.  Happy about that. Arvid is doing great.  The cod just does not seem to affect
him.  I still think it's strange how we both have just adapted to these frigid temperatures.

Good morning everyone.  I love my mornings no matter where I am.  Always quiet,
and now the scenery is still new to me.  Always something to see especially
when Sniff is next to me.  Makes for a beautiful start of the day.

Don't miss the sun today worrying about the rain coming today.
Good morning beautiful souls.  Be kind to yourselves today.  Happy Saturday...
