Sun Day

Jennifer sent this picture along on her Facebook page.   What a beautiful brown eyed Susan, makes for a 'sun' day just by looking at it.    

A time to remember "there but by the Grace of God, go I . . ."   Wouldn't you think that some where along the line of  the generations that have passed this road, felt the pain, the shunning, the mind set that this would not even exist in our world.    What gives anyone the right to make another feel less of a person?   What unspoken law makes one feel superior being rich instead of poor?    It is not what you have but who you are and that one person you ridicule may become the very best friend you will ever have.   

Patricia and Jock are hard at work canning a huge tuna this weekend.    I put my order in.   Someone asked what you can do with tuna;  how many ways can you eat it?    Albacore has a taste all its own and it goes well in a salad, a sandwich, a patty cooked to perfection, and it is good and healthy for the body. 

Sheila treated herself to a  happy Buddha to remind her of her vacation that has now come to an end.  She wrote to say she returned home without a mishap and her three cats came out of hiding and greeted her like a long lost cousin.   She had her check list out and the car emptied and everything thrown into the laundry, packed away and she was preparing her meals for the work week.  Yeah, lollygagging time was over and she was back in her routine with great memories of a fun trip that ended far to soon.

This is a beach picture that Sheila took  when she was up at Gold Beach looking for agates.    The beach was clean and clear, the ocean waves making patterns in the sand.    A quiet time to remember as she returns to her everyday work routine and can plot and plan her next vacation time.  The trouble with vacations is that they end much too soon, but part of the fun is plotting and planning the next one.

There was an attachment that came in with fifteen new Murphy's Laws .  I got a kick out of "A fine is a tax for doing wrong.  A tax is a fine for doing well."  Clever and true.    Another was, "Flashlight, a case for holding dead batteries."   Now that is more truth than fiction.    When you need it most the batteries are dead.   

I am off to enjoy a quiet day and I hope you are too.    Quiet days are so good for the body and the mind.   We still have a lot of smoke in our air and last I heard the fires  were still out of control.   We have been having late sunshine in our days and that seems to clear the air a bit.    Say a prayer for the firefighters.  They sure are exhausted from fighting the fires that seem to want to spread over the entire forest.   Make your day worthwhile, share YOU with those you love and make it a day to remember.  Yeah, find reasons to smile and pass them on.    Hugs to all.
