Sunflower Power

"Sunflower Power"

I am seeing many posts on FB of sunflowers and others posts in blue and yellow, the colors of Ukraine. I thought of this painting I did a few years ago and am joining the "support train" standing with Ukraine as they fight through the horrific invasion by the monster next door!

Praying for the Ukrainian people.

What's New?

 Ho-Hum...what to post today.

I was going to post a picture of a plate of egg rolls but I have other things to talk about so no pictures. However, about egg rolls...I have never tried one because they never appealed to me by looking at them. Until last evening when we had our weekly Chinese take-out night for supper. I ordered my favorite Buddhist's Delight, a huge plate of rice, broccoli, carrots, tofu and a couple of things I take out immediately, like pea pods and mushrooms. Pea pods can make me choke...the string on the top...and the mushrooms seem slimy or cold.....I have enough to eat so also along with the bok choy, I slide them into my side bowl kept for those items and uneaten broccoli stems. When I opened the bag I found 2 egg rolls instead of the one my husband gets with his meals. I put it aside until I thought about it just sitting alone in the kitchen, so I got it and decided to try it. Well, I became a new person! I found something I didn't ever want anything to do with to loving it so much that I can't wait to order another with my next Chinese take-out order! It was nice and crispy and had a nice sweetness to it with just the right amount of grease!  I ate the whole thing - it enhanced my already enjoyable meal and ate for over an hour!!! (actually, I wasn't even full) The moral of this story...you're never too old to try something new, and "try it...you might like it." And I did!!!  

Oh, I shed some tears this morning hearing the latest about what's happening in Ukraine. I just have one thing to say. The world would be a much safer place minus 2 people. That's all. Just 2 people. Why go through all of this pain and suffering, thousands of killings and a possible nuclear war when there is a much safer and easier solution? Think about it.

I'll close for now...I'm depressed watching the news so I can't add anything new...I was going to add that it never ceases to amaze me watching the jays come from every direction to the deck table for breakfast every morning as they did again this morning. What a show! Screaming as they make their swooping decent for their 1 or 2 chances to grab a peanut! But I'll save that for another day. 

How Many Value You?

Ho-Ho-Ho-

I can only name a very few 

who "may" value me. 

Funny, really.  

 

Best Friends

You may have many friends

but your dog only has one.

Words Cannot Express

Words cannot express what I feel when I look at this more than adorable puppy dressed in this outfit standing oh, so perfectly. 

If I could hug this one I would never let go!

Sometimes there are just some images that words and thoughts and feelings cannot express.

My Idaho Dream

I lived in Idaho for 5 years and loved it.

I always said I could have lived there my whole life!

I came across this photo today on FB that reminded

me of Idaho. This is the house I would have chosen

if I had indeed lived there long term.

I'd love to see the floor plan!

A childhood dream came true in Idaho.

I wanted a horse in the worst way when I was just a kid but my parents wouldn't allow it - not possible where we lived in a residential area. I had fallen in love with a horse named, "Chocolate!"

Don't give up on your dreams.

It took years, but I found my "Chocolate" in Idaho!

 

Cake or Painting?

I have never seen a more beautiful cake!

Or is this a painting of a cake?

Either is a work of art.

Frosting for paint & cake for canvas.

Then I looked at the background.

 I wondered if this was in fact, a painting. 

Or perhaps, a photo of the cake in front of a

painted background. 

Don't know, for sure.

Tom Brady - To Be Continued

It has been announced that

Tom will be signing a 1-day

contract with the Patriots 

and will do it back in New England

as he will be retiring as a

New England Patriot

where he spent his first 20 years

playing football QB. 

In our hearts he was always

a NE Patriot. 

We are so proud of his

accomplishments and lucky me,

Tom and I share the same birthday,

August 3rd. (not the same year, though) 

You will continue to do great things, Tom, 

and we will be following your future 

life choices as we have for the last 22 years!

All the best, TB12, We love you!

 

Welcome February - Is it Spring Yet?

 

Happy Chinese New Year
