Summer Days

My brother and sister and I grew up when playing outside was great. In fact, Summer days us and the Wilkeys (they lived next door and were a constant in my life) and the current military brats living in the rent houses on our street packed a lunch, our stay at home Mom made kool-aid for everyone and put it in our school lunch thermoses, and we were off for the day on our bikes. No 10 speeds. I do not think there was even a Schwin among us although we dreamed of owning one. Usually the ride was down our street the back way over the big hump pretty much impassable to cars, down the dirt road till it played out, thru the soft sand and brush beside the Laguna to the Duncan Family Cemetary. We spent the day reading the old tombstones and when we got hungary we ate  at the edge of Mr. Duncan's super green carpet grass yard in the shade of a huge oak tree. Those were the days my friend. How does the song go? Well Summer is almost here. I might just look for me a bicycle and it might just be a Schwin. Have a happy sunshine Monday. kisses

Proverbs17:17

Happy sunshine, clear blue sky,  Sunday day.   I was just thinking how very nice it is to have friends. Especially those ones you can just forget about social ettiquite, no worries, no tip toes around 'feelings' cause it is all good, it is all real. Upside down and backwards, most times at the very least a  little sideways - that is if we are to be compared to 'conventional' society.  Not that anyone would even attempt!  Giggle out loud. Friendships do take some effort if we desire life long ones but I will save that story for another day. I am headed out to hang out upside down & backwards, maybe a little sideways at the very least with my super fun Sunday buddies at 90 West Bike Stop. Have a super sunshine Sunday!! kisses

Bright Eyes

So I don't know if this has ever happened to you or not...I woke up bright and early the other morning excited to start my happy day. I pulled on my glasses ( one of the joys of over 40/50 eyes) picked up my phone off the Coca-Cola chair I use as a bedside table and started attempting to  compose a good morning text.  How very unkind of nature that as we age our eyesight tends to dim! I gave up trying to focus for the moment as nature called and I dashed to the bathroom. I glanced at my face as I passed a mirror and the reason for my inability to focus became clear. I was wearing my sunglasses!  Now I sure am glad my eyes are bright but what does this say about my over 40/50 brain? I may have to read up on this....if I can find my glasses. Have a Sunshine Saturday! kisses
