Friday November 3rd ~

Keep a positive attitude, even if results don't seem 

to be occurring as quickly as you want them to...

 Doctor or not, my day always starts out on a good note.  

So far being on this iodine diet in preparation for my

 body scan has not been so terrible.  Of course the other day we

  went out to lunch and I could not eat anything, but thankfully 

there was a smoothie place close by.  I had a good one.

It's been a little cold in the mornings.  Sniff does not want 

to move from his bed.  Not even when Arvid calls him to go out

 on the balcony with him.  Florida.. at 61F  (16C) we are cold.

Today's memory clip takes me back to Punt Cana.  Arvid and I 

have been there a few times.  It was beautiful and we met a very special 

couple, who eventually visited us when we lived in the Bahamas. In the last 

23 years together Arvid and I have lived a lifetime, and it's not over.

Wishing everyone a good and may we always keep in 

mind that something wonderful is about to happy.  What 

fall colors look like in Florida, at least in Fort Myers.

They burned the bridge, then ask why I don't visit.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom...

Branson Days~ Thursday

The traveler sees what he sees, 

the tourist sees what he has come to see...

There is something about Branson that attracts people to 

come back year after year.  The lakes, the family activities,

 the shows.  Whatever it is they come for, it's always good for

 all the local businesses, and of course for the (our) hotels.  

Yesterday at Almost Home I checked out the garden. 

 Thanks to Andrew and Ralph this garden has delighted many with

 it's vegetables for several months now.  Even I have sampled

 their tomatoes , and I'll tell you, it's the best.

Once again we are waking up to cooler temperatures.  A bit foggy 

right now, but should clear up later in the day.  A good day to all.  

Arvid and I will be back to work, preparing Almost Home

 for next week's inspection.  We're slowly getting there.

Life is a long lesson in humility.  The greatest happiness

 of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for

 ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves...
