Sunday April 12th~

There is a difference between

 moving fast and rushing...

 Typical of our life, yesterday Arvid made a 

phone call.  When he was done he said to me, “we

 have to leave in less than a half an hour.”  I was

 not even done with breakfast, but Arvid knows 

I am fast. Maybe too fast for my own good.

 I was ready to go in under 15 minutes. Arvid 

was not.  I’m used to taking off like a flash, but 

sometimes it is also good to know a little in advance.

Once again we went to Port Charlotte hoping to close

 on a trade we started a while back.  We got close, 

but will have to wait until the coming week.  I did 

see a car with a cool sign so all was good.

We got home. I had a 40 minute window to 

prepare lunch.  We eat at a certain time 🫣. While

 I was busy cooking, unpacking the grocery, getting 

Sniff his food; Arvid and Sniff sat in front of the 

TV watching soccer, and then he always wonders

 why I am tired by 5 o’clock.  I’m tired because 

most of the day I am on my feet working.

Last night we went once again to Bonita Springs 

for a blues/rock and roll concert.   It was okay, but the 

best part was that we met a lot of nice people.  Surprisingly 

most were from Chicago.  Arvid had on one of his Chicago 

Blues Festivals t-shirts.  That made for a good time.

Before the concert I went to feed Legacy, but she was 

not there.  Was a little too early.  Downtown Fort Myers

 is having a lot of young people flocking it.  Prom time

 and  all the girls are wearing beautiful  gowns.

It was an interesting evening just watching all 

the girls and boys in their very pretty clothes. 

 Downtown was extremely busy.  I liked it.

While downtown Arvid and I did a little bar hopping. 

 It was different and good to be out in the evening.  The 

crowd is much different.  The older crowd is out in the 

early day/afternoon, but come evening downtown belongs 

to the young ones.  Everyone was having a good time.

To all a very good day.  It's Sunday and

 I am  looking forward to our outing.

Everywhere, people are discovering that 

doing things more slowly often means doing

 them better and enjoying them more...

New Month ~ New Week Hello May ~

 We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone...

May, and it is still pretty cold here in Branson, Missouri. 

 The heat at home is still on.  Allergies are still acting up 

and,  life is sure good 😂 all things considered.

Brutus and little Shadow have birthdays in May.  Had they been 

alive, Brutus would have been an "old" man today, and Shadow would

 have been eight years old.  They both live in my heart and my memories.  

Some days their absence breaks my heart a little more than the usual.

Not sure what to expect with the new month, but I know 

that whatever it is we will make the best of this time here.  

Sniff is happy and he keeps me smiling all the time.

Every moment is a fresh new beginning.  Happy new month to all.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important 

as what you become by achieving your goals...
