SUNSHINE
Brenda (Sept2001)

When I woke up this morning
I found a ray of light
Shining through my window
To chase away the night...

I tried to wrap it up to send
The warmth and light to you...
But boxes don't hold sunshine
So this wish will have to do:

May the sun shine on your morning
And brighten every day,
May warmth and sunshine fill your life
And chase your cares away!

Go the Distance
Michael Bolton

I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile would be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance
And my journey is complete, oh yeah

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

Good morning..

Going to be a muggy one today..rain is forcast but so was a storm that we didn't get last night, thankfully.
Yesterday was a busy one, Vehicle wouldn't start so on the hook it went. Turned out it was a cell in the battery so a new one is now installed.Finished the rest of the garden out front and today will be doing Jane's juice.

Jane if we don't slow down on the juice we will have it all gone by the end of summer!!!

Tomereader, thank you for the heads up on the lids.

Roly, enjoyed your stroll, nice to be able to sit and enjoy while having a cup of tea.

Bubble, thank you for the new start...never give up is so right!!

Best move it.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Mid 90s expected here. It's already feeling a bit too warm for this time of day. Feels like the humidity is up.

Everyone - Have a good weekend. - Keep cool

Shirley · July 01, 2022, 10:37:20 AM

I've washed the spiders off the front of the house & watered all the "containers" (including trug) and now need to go vac the pool so those chores are done for the holiday week end. Will put up the flag first. Not too windy (for Kansas) and 78° & we're back to the near 100s... YUCK! May be enough lettuce & spinach in the trug for one more meal, but the heat fried those greens in June instead of August as expected. I will get more seed to plant in the early fall.

Peter, I will save this walk for after I clean the pool and need to sit. Thank you!

Bubble, love the graphics & all the text but my fav really is the one to "never give up". I think my kids would tell you that on my death bed I will be saying, "this is something new, won't it be fun?"....... I get that attitude from my mother... who loved to tell that one of her sons commented about her... "Mom, you could look down into a sewer and see something pretty".... both he & I believed her.

JaneS · July 01, 2022, 10:53:04 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! It's going to be a hot one here, too. It's already 82º and heading for a high of 96! I wear a sweater in the house to keep warm from the A/C and take it off to sit out on the porch and get warmed up!

Today is a quiet one. The kids and their daddy went on a holiday weekend with his parents and Ali stayed home to take her flowers to market tomorrow. My SIL and I will go with her. Cindy will be making her monthly trip to Dallas tomorrow in connection with her job and to keep another appt.

Bubble, thanks for the nice cleaning job you did on the shop and for all the new decorations. I love it!

ROLEy, THE WALKS ARE BACK AND THEY'RE GREAT! Thank you!

On with my day! I wish you all a good one...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Amy · July 01, 2022, 01:24:00 PM

Jane ,19 more jars of rhubarb juice are now pinging away. That makes 3 batches and the last!!

Canada day here today and lots of things to do if you wish. I am not looking forward to this evening as fire crackers are sure to go off.......unless it rains.

Patricia, where are you???

Lloyd Hammond · July 02, 2022, 12:04:10 AM

Late in I am but good night and sweet dreams. I had a good easy day sleeping an watching good moovies. in front of the TV.

Lloyd

Amy · July 02, 2022, 07:29:06 AM

Good morning..

Another nice day in the making here..

Fireworks did go off into the night then finally stopped.

Labeling and putting away ,laundry and chasing dust bunnies..lots of fun!

Neighbour called last night to say one out of the four eggs has hatched in the nest. Sure hope nothing finds them as they are in a nest in a low bush.

Jane, have fun at the market ..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Shirley · July 02, 2022, 07:41:40 AM

Lightning & thunder right now, nothing severe so a welcome sight & sound. We are going to have our family gathering Sunday evening, lots of fireworks already stacked up. I don't stay around for that, I've seen & done my share over the years. One of the families has Covid so will be staying home, just a block away from where the party will be so talk of taking some of the fireworks around so the youngest can watch. His sister didn't catch it so has been staying with both sets of gr-parents all week. Everyone was vacced & boosted but had traveled, just too many versions to miss them all.

Amy, hope you had a great Canada Day yesterday. Fireworks were loud all day yesterday & still plenty more to scare the critters the next few days around here. Better eat & see if I can get a few more zzzzzzzzzzs in before starting the day. Tiger was determined I got up to pour her bowl of milk about 5:00 am, she is sleeping on the chair next to me.

Gloria · July 02, 2022, 09:16:35 AM

Good morning everyone. Still worn out from the visit for the eye exam. Last year I told him about the film I GET AT TIMES IM MY RIGHT EYE, HE ASKED IF i still get it and saID YES. That was the longest exam I ever had more than 2 hours. He used all all those machines and then started the old the old way starting with the drops in my eyes. Mike stayed in the car instead of coming in where it was cooler but started getting worried and went into the office and saw wha going on. Have a script for eye drops and I cannot do that but CNA can ror the 5 days she is here-OK, have to go back in 4 months

Then I heard from Yvette -she has what her doc said looks like pneumonia. Last time she had that it was double and was in the hospitle
Better get back to bed,Still dizzy from those drops,

Lloyd Hammond · July 02, 2022, 09:51:15 AM

Good Morning everyone, well we have likuid sun cloudy and75º now at 95o am, it is comming down steady and lighy. I went to bed late and got up same way, Have a good day and a better tomorow.

Lloyd

Lloyd Hammond · July 02, 2022, 09:59:27 AM

I am setting here in my office watching the humming birds come and go hopping from flower bloom to blome, and watching it rain.

Lloyd

patricia19 · July 02, 2022, 02:31:47 PM

Good morning everyone. We're still at our low of 65 and having a welcomed steady rain which should help with those 399 fires the state has presently. Last week, the highs were all in the nineties, so today's high of 82 will be welcome. All fireworks have been banned, and gatherings are mostly canceled for the fourth due to heavy smoke from the fires still burning.

JaneS · July 02, 2022, 06:09:06 PM

Good Morning! Good Noon! And Good Afternoon! When I got home from the Farmers Market I had stuff we bought to put away and then I had to take a shower. I was sweating up the gazoo because it was already in the mid 90s! Then when Jim got home from helping Ali shut down we got to talking about a breakfast that he makes and I've been looking on line for the xtra large cupcake tins he uses so I can make them when I get home. I found some but when he looked he found some locally for about half as much as they were on line. So we did a shopping trip and filled in some holes besides.

Cindy just walked in the door from her trip to Dallas so everyone is home safe except the kids are at the lake with their OTHER grandparents! We won't see them now until Tuesday.

Now I have to sign off because Cindy is going to help me with the flower pictures. I'll be back when I can.

Shirley · July 02, 2022, 07:18:39 PM

I'm eager to see the flower photos, Jane. Sorry to hear about Yvette's latest health woe, Gloria.

Daughter & I talked a "mile a minute" all afternoon. This is a short trip for her & her husband..... they come to town every 4th of July & the oldest son & youngest daughter live here so it really is a happy time. While we were sitting at the table talking she mentioned one of the "kids" that I remember well, had posted the neatest Paul Harvey quote on their class site.... she started reading it to me & I asked her to send it e-mail so I could share it with y'all. Hope all of you enjoyed Paul Harvey back in the day.....

PAUL HARVEY'S LETTER TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN
We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.
It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.
I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.
If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.

I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.
I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy / girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it... And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he/she is not your friend.
I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.
May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.
I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.
These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.

roley · July 03, 2022, 07:25:21 AM

Hello enjoy this walk with me..Roley AKA..Peter.

JaneS · July 03, 2022, 08:12:08 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I checked out the pictures and I thanked you, BUBBLE, for posting them and I also added a bit of info about the growing and sales! Ali is such a sweetheart and she works very hard with her two kids, hubby and flowers!

Jim is already gone to look after their doggies and will be back pretty soon for breakfast. It's going to be a bit quiet around her because that family is spending the weekend with Ali's in-laws. No kiddies here to play with!

I guess I'll go have my breakfast. I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

P.S. I'm also going back and take ROLEY/PETER's walk! Thank you for doing that. I truly enjoy them!

Shirley · July 03, 2022, 02:56:40 PM

Glad you enjoyed Paul Harvey, Amy!

Peter, that was a wonderful video. We didn't do very much traveling around when there in 1954-1957. Gas was still rationed and it took us most of that time to even learn how to ride the buses & trains! The history all around is fascinating to me. Thanks so much for the link. Hope you are stronger every day and will be able to get out in the countryside yourself. Tisie/Shirley
