Thankful ~

A positive mind towards everything will give you a happier life.

My memory loves you.  It asks about you all the time...

Yesterday we had a little road trip to Fort Myers.

  Arvid and I enjoy these trips.  As he likes to say,

 "now you can't run away."  He's a funny man.

It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies.  No rain in Fort Myers.

  Made for a very enjoyable outing, of course business was involved.

Our Brutus as I mentioned turned 13 years yesterday. 

 I miss him so much. There are days when the grief is a little 

heavier than most.  I sense it in Arvid, but unlike me he does 

not talk about it much.  Arvid and Sniff both know when I am

 missing Brutus.  Sniff slept very close to me last night.

I was awake very early.  Lucky me, the moon was still out. 

 Of course I went out on the balcony with my cameras.  One 

of my most relaxing times is when I take pictures.  I took way

 too many, but at least I managed to get a fairly decent one.

Sniff woke up together with me.  He ate.  

Watched as I took the pictures and now

 he is napping again, very close to me.  

Saturday is looking beautiful.  No rain as of now. 

 The sun is shining and the birds are chirping.  It's going 

to be a good one.  Because every picture tells a story, never

 forget to keep making those memories and adding to the

story that is your life. Happy Saturday everyone.

Life goes by too quickly.  So laugh, love and

 try new things.  Forgive, forget and don't

 hold grudges.  Choose to be happy...

Just For Fun ~

Just play.  Have some fun.  Enjoy the game...

I just could not resist these signs.  Saw them and had
 to take pictures. Showed then to Arvid.  When he saw
 the one with family he laughed and said, "exactly" 
gave us a good laugh.  Exactly what we needed.

I take random pictures of any and everything.
 Most of them gets deleted, but some are so darn cute
or funny I know that one day they will find their
way into my blog.  Pictures are my thing.

Anyone who knows me knows that before the
day is over I could have taken hundreds of them. 
Most are unusable, but some are pretty OK.  As Arvid
would say it keeps me busy and gives me something
 to keep me busy.  You see I am constantly restless.

We will be spending the day at home.  Once again,
but together we always seem to have good times.

COVID cases are still decreasing in Florida.  YAY,
 but on a not so good note, more people have been hospitalized,
 and yesterday surpassed all the records for the number of
deaths related to COVID in Florida.  One day at a time.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, 
show life that you have a thousands reasons to smile...

Saturday ~

Always remember that your present situation is not 

your final destination.  The best is yet to come...

It's been a very busy week in more ways than one.  Some very tense 

moments, but at least for now everything is back to being OK.

Here at home all is good.  Sniff is a happy camper and he is just getting 

cuter by the day.  Sniffs my boy and I love him to pieces.

My sister Mala and family just added a new member to their family. 

Everyone meet Rio.  Rio is a Golden retriever and he is 8 weeks old. 

 Needless to say they all all in in love with the little dude.  Just look

 at that face, and tell me if you can resist so much cuteness.

Back in Florida i rarely ate red meat.  Here in Branson I have eaten more 

red meat that I have in my entire life, weirdest thing is that I enjoy it a lot.

  Just this week we have been out to 2 different steak restaurants,

 and yes both times I have had the steak.  My favorite is

 the NY Strip.  Arvid's favorite for a while now as well.

This week has worn us us.  Mostly mentally and emotionally, but seems like 

we are back on track towards "normalcy"  Hopefully this will be the case.  Work is 

fine. Almost home is running smoothly, Tiffany, Chris and the boys are a pleasure 

to have around and everyone at Almost Home is like family, so all good there.

To all a happy day.  I'm sure everyone is super ready for Super Bowl tomorrow.

As you start and end your day,be thankful for every little thing in your life.
One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day...
