A Blog Post Can Be: Three Beautiful Things This Week

Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Clare writes called Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

1) Jenny and I drove out to The Falls today.  It's a state park about 

20 minutes from here.

We had a great time!

2) I am amazed at the weather this November.  Our highs are still in the 50's - 60's - 70's!

Yes, a few days that warm.

Maybe I won't close up the woman cave yet.

3) The election is almost over!

A Blog Post Can Be Worth Repeating: Memories

I stopped when I opened the small, corked jar,

and

for one, brief second,

I stopped breathing.

More memories,

certainly 

unexpected.

Who would have thought that someone

at one time

placed these roses in that jar.

The fragrance was still there,

not strong, just a whisp of scent to remind me

of 

that Mother's Day,

that anniversary,

that birthday,

I'm not sure when, 

but the memories flooded back.

I'm just not sure which one.

Surprise!

Memories in a jar.

 

A Blog Post Can Be and Idea

I read a short article the other day, and I don't remember where, 

but the article suggested 

that a person would remember their 

To-Do List

by d

drawing the list

rather than writing it out.

I thought I'd give it a try.

This was part of my to do list

the other day.

I have to admit I remembered it

without looking.

One of the items is completed.  I haven't forgotten, 

I just haven't had the time.

Can you figure out what I have left to do? 

It's #1.

Close up the Woman Cave.

Have you ever tried something like this?

How do you remember things more easily?

A Blog Post Can be a Letter: Dear November,

Dear November,

The months have flown by this year.

Somehow, I missed the advent of fall, and next month, winter will officially be here. 

Today is cloudy and cold.

That's typical weather for you, November.

Life has changed so much, again, but there are some steadying influences this month.

Last year, on Thanksgiving,

I thought I was going to loose Pixie.

I never dreamed she'd still be with us this November.

For that, I am grateful.

Pixie turned 12 this year.

I don't know how much longer I have with her, but she has been a great gift from God to me.

 As far as Thanksgiving goes, I'm not sure that I'll be able to get together with our "extended family."

Knee surgery is the week before Thanksgiving.  Well the kids can go and bring me some food back.

That's  ok.

Pixie, kitties and I can celebrate until everyone comes back.

 We'll see our first snowfall this month.  

Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

To me the first snowfall is the most beautiful.

After that, I'd rather see rain, not freezing rain, just rain.

Well, November, there's really not much more to say.

I'm not fond of your weather, so, other than that, I hope you don't fly by.

Christmas comes way too soon.

I'm hungry for turkey and dressing.

Nummy.

Now, I have to clean my house.

It's time for me to go.

Good-bye.
