And So Begins Another Week ~

Train your mind to see the good in everything...

Interesting day yesterday.  We had lunch with the previous 

owners of the hotels we own.  We went to a place we 

had not gone to before and boy was I happy about that. 

 Amazing views is the only way to describe it. 

 The brunch was so so.  No one had any of the mimosas. 

 Too bad because I used to like mimosas a lot, but now they

 just upset my stomach.  Aside from that we had a 

good time and lots of laugh.  Very relaxing.

After lunch we went to the mall.  Macy's and Dillard's.  Just

 like back home.  Both Arvid and I bout some clothes and I also bought 

some makeup items I needed.  Made for a very happy and  good day.

Back in Branson Arvid went in a little to his hotel while I did 

some more shopping at the Outlets.  Boy was I tired.

The rest of the evening was spent at home with Sniff.  

Peaceful.  Quiet and relaxed.  Now it's Monday again.  Time to get busy.

Happy Monday all and may your week ahead be a productive one.

To all Happy July Fourth Weekend.  Some of us have to work.

Discipline is just choosing between what you 

want now and what you want most...

Chilly Start...

Baby it's cold outside...

The day begins on a cold note for us.  For those in the Sunshine State it is always 

warm and for Arvid's family in Norway and mine in other states in the US, 

it is also a cold time.  Never thought that Arvid and I will have these 

temperatures any longer.  At some given time we both lived in

 cold places.  His home was Norway and I lived in NYC.

Was cold, but for over 20 years he has been in the USA and I have been living 

in the Sunshine State.  Neither of us are used to these low digits in the weather, 

but like everyone who does experience this we will also "adapt"

Take a look at the images below.  I'm sure you can tell which is which.  Question is 

where would you rather be right now?  I know for certain that many like the 

snow and the cold weather.  Many in my family do.  Otherwise why

 would they have left life in Florida for cold winters elsewhere?  

Also here in Branson I have met quite a few people, yes I talk to everyone.  

Many have lived in Florida and have told me that they do not miss 

the humidity nor the weather.  Find it difficult to believe especially after

 experiencing the cold first hand again after so long.  But we are 

all different and that's what makes us all unique.

Good morning everyone.  Have a great day and stay bundled up.

Wherever you go, no matter the weather always bring your own sunshine...
