I am so thankful for cooler weather on this blue sky Sunday after Thanksgiving. I don't like it much when the heat and humidity of Summer hang around past curfew causing conversations questioning, is Winter just running late or is she being held hostage by global warming? I'm not so sure the seasons care about our obsession with orderly and consistent predictable weather stability. I believe the earth has had its own rhythm since God spoke it into motion in the beginning. The one constant through time is change.

A friend sent me a link to a sweet song that touched my heart and rings so true I want to pass it along to you. God and Dog - by Wendy Francisco.  She has a cool Facebook page also. You can click the link above to watch the short video. When my kids were growing up we were blessed through the years with a loyal, happy family dog. What a treasure. Dogs can be protectors, and helpers but mostly they are willing and eager companions that turn on your heart light. You will never feel alone if you have a dog. When Daisy crossed the rainbow bridge our entire family mourned. But as hard and sad as it was losing her I am grateful for all she brought into our lives. In the beginning there was God. He knew then we would need a dog. On and on and so it goes. kisses

Just Know

It struck me the other day how I can look at my girlfriends and just ‘know’ what they need to hear to fix their latest breakup, patch up a fuss or get to the root of issues with their Mother.  While I stumble thru life in general finally resorting to the self-help aisle at Barnes & Noble.  Now relationships are only the tip of the iceberg.  Since the first day of First grade in Mrs. Townsend’s classroom when Adriana Salinas helped me find my own desk, (I have been in awe of Adriana ever since), I have wondered how come I missed the class, that link of DNA, or the secret meetings that let everyone else know ‘what to do’, ‘where to go’, ‘how to behave’, ‘what to wear’, just on and on cause I never seem to Just Know.  The hugest example of this is I always wanted to be a nurse, RN specifically.  Since I felt like everyone else in class would already ‘know’ what to do and nursing is such an important job I did the following- First I took the Nurse Aide course at my local community college.  Now keep in mind this was 30 years ago when nurse aides could be trained on the job.  No way was I to be caught off guard in nursing school not able to make the perfect mitered corner.  Then I applied for LVN school and studied like I was trying to get into Harvard.  I was accepted and graduated the very next year.  I have been an RN for over 20 years now.  I have never regretted taking the extra time to get in but I would not recommend it to anyone else.  It really is not necessary as they teach mitered corners in the first semester but hey, now you ‘KNOW’.  Have a super awesome November day.  kisses 

Meet Ya At The Raye

Happy church day, start of a new week day, finally cool weather, sunshine Sunday.  Hope you are feeling blessed and productive.  I love Saturday movie night at the Raye Theatre in Hondo, Texas.

I am not a fan of horror movies but the Raye has one large screen, is local ( the next closest theatre is at least a 50 mile round trip) very reasonable admission rates and a concession stand with prices that allow you to enjoy movie buttered popcorn and a drink without taking out a bank loan. October being ghost and goblin month of course the most recent Halloween movie is showing. It does not take much to rattle me so no surprise I screamed once... sorta loud. I get frustrated with this kind of movie script. Like seriously folks, you characters in the movie. This is a series of sequels. Did you NOT see the previous now on home video 1, 2 or 3? Have you learned nothing? Why do you continue to look in the closet? Leave the safety of your locked car on a lonely dark road? Whyyyy.

Anyway you just never know what fun prop the Raye will have in their lobby. This hometown movie house goes the extra mile. I thought it would be fun to take a picture with this colorful clown. So I stood real close and start talking to it because I think I am so funny. Well all of a sudden Mr. Clown lights up and starts moving! And see that hand? Is he trying to get fresh with me?

"Back off Bright Eyes! None of that on the first date."
I'm glad I grew up with the Shriner's circus clowns full of silly shenanigans so IT only startled me a bit. I think he may be trying to strike up a conversation.
Happy Halloween. kisses
