A new day dawning…

I have always loved that phrase.  There is a beautiful song with that name sung by many artists.

 

“Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning

Over our mountains and valleys of green,

Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning

And shining Your light from above”

Our new day dawning here is drizzly and cloudy.  The temp is 64 degrees and  not to be nearly so warm here today.

I have my plans all made to make the trip home on Friday to put flowers on Jim’s grave.  My daughter will go with me.  I will try and stop by to say hi to my old friends.

Have a great day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Devastation…

I am heartsick over the devastation caused by the tornadoes in Oklahoma.  The loss of life, especially the children, is hard to take.  My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy.

We were lucky here.  My weather radio was constantly going off and we were under a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch until 3 AM.  It all passed to the northwest of here and all I heard was distant thunder.  It is sunny this morning but we still have a chance of  thunderstorms.

The Arias trial fizzled out yesterday as there were no mitigation witnesses to call for the defense.  Supposedly Arias will speak to the jury today and this trial can wind down.  And then, no more trial watching for me.  This one has worn me out.

Have a great day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Rainy Monday Morning…

We are in line for storms here through Wednesday.  The power was off sometime  during the night as everything is flashing here this morning.  It is 66 degrees this morning and to reach the upper 80s today.

I have quite a few errands to run this morning so I will be out and about for awhile.  Then I will settle in to watch the final phase of the Arias trial.

I hope you all have a lovely peaceful week.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Sunday morning…

and things are looking better for me.  I am still eating soft food but I am going to try eating something a little more substantial today.

It has been very warm the last few days.  To reach upper 80s to 90 degrees today.  Storms are to roll in tonight.  Right now the sun is shining at 65 degrees.

I have been reading a book called Maine Brides written by Susan Page Davis.  It is a book I got at a garage sale some time ago.  There were many books by this author, all named after a state and then ‘Brides.’  I am aggravated at myself now because I didn’t buy the one named ‘Illinois Brides.’   The book I am reading is excellent.

It is boring finding something to fill the time when you are feeling tough.I looked through all of my old pictures and videos.  I haven’t fixed a video for several years.  I did find one I think you will be interested in.  The theater in my little town (3 blocks from where I lived)burned to the ground and I was busy taking pictures along with half the town.  Pay no attention to the music.  It is some free music I got from the internet.
