FOUR !!

Today Jim and I are sharing FOUR of our

most favorite people ever.

Our daughters !!!!

Here they are on their annual

"Sisters Week"

get together.

We got the following picture from them......

with instructions to figure out which foot belonged

to which daughter.

Well, the tattoo on the ankle helped

but it still took us a couple of guesses to get it right.

Soooooo........

we sent them this picture

and asked them to figure out which foot

belonged to Mom or Dad.

They did pretty well with that little quiz.

Can't imagine why !!!

We love them.

And it's such a joy and a pleasure to

think of them daily and appreciate what we have.

And they are so much FUN !!!

We are the luckiest of parents.

Here's to more Favorite Things -

and may you all be as fortunate as we.

Favorites??

DAILY FAVORITES

My handsome dog, Bailey,

and his shadow - Peter Pan like.

The lamp post in the park -

very " The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".

Hope you're following all this.

Fence with grass - 

I'm in the old west.

Is that a hitching post I see ???

"Gunsmoke", "Bonanza" ???

The point is - ordinary things can evoke

such imaginative, extraordinary thoughts.

What ordinary things do you see on your daily routine

And do they take you on great imaginary journeys ??

If not, I'm sorry for you.

Try harder.

There are so many ordinary things just waiting

to be your new 'favorites'.

There's a new favorite waiting out there

every single day.

Dragonflies

I love pretty things..........................

And beautiful words....................

So meet David Copperfield.

He and his family live in our backyard.  

Today only he was feeling photogenic.

Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Mr Green

all reside near our pool also.

OK - YES - I name all the dragonflies.

Can't help myself.

I love pretty things. 

One of My Favorite Things.

ENJOY

Y-A-W-N

To sleep, perchance to dream........

Does anyone want to disagree with this????

I know it works for me!!

This first week of retirement has  made me 

realize how sleep deprived I've been for...........

oooo, maybe the last 25 years???!!! 

Is that even possible??

And laughter is called the"best medicine".
As part of my 'retirement research', I hope
to prove these two statements true.
I urge everyone to join me in this research.
I'd like to hear from you and know how
your personal research is going.
