This blog was formerly dedicated in 2009 to my Dad who died of Alzheimer's in 2013. It's been three years now...and I find myself missing blogging...so I am re-inventing my blog... because, after all, life is about moving through, and going forward...

"For Fast-Acting Relief, Try Slowing Down"...

This quote was by Lily Tomlin.  Wise advice and it is exactly what we did this weekend...Saturday we lazed around, puttering, chatting, I made a roast in the crock pot, and we just did what we felt like doing.

Today was more of the same, only while Izzy and my husband napped and watched TV, I went thrift store hopping with my neighbor.  We had took our time, browsed and hunted for bargains, and then enjoyed a nice lunch at In and Out.  Got home and hubby barbecued, while I made corn on the cob and a fresh salad.
What a great weekend...


I found this picture of a backyard. 
I can really see myself sitting in one of those chairs,
 enjoying a nice refreshing drink,
munching on some grapes and cucumbers,
and reading a book...
Doesn't it look inviting?
I sure wish I had a million dollars..
.I'd have my Architect
build me a house around
this peaceful place....

A little down time can be the best thing for us sometimes. I'm glad you had such a restful day.

So glad that you had a great weekend! I love to go to thrift shops, and love that backyard, too.
Was also glad to hear that your Dad is doing better!

It is wonderful to just do the things you want to, reading a book,watching a good movie, etc. I love those stress free days. I have a couple of books waiting at the Post Office and I hope to have one of those kick back days reading a book soon. My husband and I daydream sometimes thinking of all the things we would do if we were rich. Like lets take our private jet and go to San Francisco and eat fish and watch the waves and dolphins playing.
