Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Thanks and a fence of sunflowers


 Driving down a nearby road I'd never traveled, these are among the beautiful things I saw...


I add my sincere thanks to all my friends and relations who made my birthday Sunday feel so special for me. I had a great hour plus zoom group meet-up with my three sons' families. I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful family of loving people, even if we live miles apart. And besides my wonderful Facebook friends sending wishes all day long, my blog buddies were also sending wishes early and late! How blessed I am!

Today's quote:
This may also be the perfect time to finally give mindfulness a try.
...embracing [what you are doing in] the moment can distract us
from worry and what may or may not happen. ..."letting go" of
things one has no control over may be the best way to shrink
worry down to a manageable size.

    1. Thanks Robin...I have no place to plant them...except a small pot and that wouldn't do them justice.
