A cluttered house where clothes are not put away
My house today is just like yesterday
I think I will be organized someday
Paul with a grin says, "That's what you say"

Sign, Sing, and a Birthday
 |
| Happy Birthday, Paul |
A greeting before eating
It's Paul's birthday
In form of singing
V is for Velvet
 |
| The time she refused to go and walk outside with me Velvet does not appreciate fake fur |
V is for Velvet
My pet, my beloved
With me she likes to cuddle
In bed and play dead
Warmth in the Cold
Not much snow did we get recently
But we enjoyed the time just equally
I do not ski, so needlessly
I don't miss the snow, I'm tropical you see :)
The Girls and the Gardens
 |
| The blooms along the walk |
I took the girls to the gardens, the girls, I mean my daughter and her friend. I offered and they agreed to come along with me and dog, Velvet. It is nice for them to come even though where we were going is a little away from the towers where we could get a good connection. Their phones did not work well to Snapchat, Facebook, or Instagram. But they worked as well to play stored music and to take images of the nature and tons of selfies.
Yellow Flowers
These yellow flowers belong to Kendrick garden. Its park is one of the 21 Parks I plan to visit in Lakewood as weather and time allow. They look like butterflies to me, so bright and pretty.
Good Week
- A lollipop from my daughter she bought from her allowance debit card. It is her first purchase and she thought of me.
A Pot of Gold
This is a pot of gold outside the mall
Where my daughter and I go
Not to shop but to stroll
A Walk in the Park: Addenbrooke
 |
| Here's the first park of my list of 21 parks to visit with a restroom, just in case I need it. I got there and they have 3 portable toilets. The park is huge and clean. There was a softball game or practice just finishing up. There are some picnic areas too and a lake. |
Week of Painting
 |
| I would post a picture of grand vacation but I don not have the money to go. What I have done are trips to the mall not to shop but to paint. Take a look at our work--simple and fun. My daughter enjoyed it too. |
Simple Ways to Bank Happiness
 |
| Enjoying a time outside, even if it's just outside a new church. |
I am working on building my reserves. Over the span of many years, I have been burdened with stress that made my happy bank empty. I compiled a list of things I do and will do to make me happy.
21 Lakewood Parks with Restrooms
 |
| Lakewood Park |
I like going to the park while taking my time walking with my dogs, and enjoying looking at whatever nature (or man-made beauty) has to offer. I am also getting old and in need of access to the restroom anywhere I go like every couple of hours or more often after a drink or coffee or tea). :)
D is For Dogs
 |
| Colors made with Color Pop as watermarked |
Inspired by ABC Wednesday and The Art Challenge, I am posting about my dogs tonight. And in the interest of time, an easy and quick entry for the art challenge is using what I already have--the pictures from today and the other day with my dogs.
Book Character
 |
| Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl |
Not just a character, but as a real person who portrayed the role of Anne Frank in real life, this girl left a permanent mark in my heart.
Bigger Fish to Fry

| The Bird and the Fish |
Hey, the link is still open!
I am virtually running to submit my artwork here (if you can call it artwork) before the door closes. It is the third of the month and I am linking my first entry.
The Challenge For Charity
 |
| Charity for Children's Cause |
A word that comes to mind is the word challenge, particularly the challenge to benefit a cause or charity for children.
The Key to Go to Church
It's half past eight in the morning. I just got back from my walk. My daughter is still sleeping and her friend staying for a sleepover is in a deep sleep. She did not move even after the dogs showered her with kisses.
Overcoming Procrastination Project 1
 |
| I went outside and thought, "It's not so bad." There is beauty outside. I just have to choose the way there and capture the moment. |
I'm trying this free app on my phone, Dragon dictation, for the first time for my post. The first sentence worked great so far.
The Day My Name Changed
I was doing my usual walk with my dogs at the park one day when a man with his dog came close.
Thankful for the Written Words
 |
| Another Week, Another Reason to Be Thankful This week is like a treasure hunt. I had to look for reasons to be grateful. I found them in my family, outdoors, my home, my bookcase, and my . . . Iphone! What do you know? *** I am still lucky I have many reasons to be thankful. Some people, some nations, some groups are less fortunate. Let us shower them with compassion. May the leaders and future leaders act with just and kindness to all. |
Bookstore, Bible, Boring Week
 |
| These are the reading plans I plan to do. |
 |
| The Just1Bible App The NABRE bible is what I use. |
I went to a Barnes and Noble Bookstore last week. I had an argument with my daughter and I decided to stop by the bookstore to get my mind off the issue.
I'm not exactly a nerd, not really. But bookstores are so amazing for me, I feel like a child in a toy store. I could spend hours in there just checking what they have.
One section I checked was the Bible section. I really like the Catholic Bible, specifically the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE). The wordings are in American English and it is so easy for me to understand. I thought of buying one, but the cheap me decided not to. I already have a Catholic Bible Digest at home, the St. Joseph edition.

This Week's Gratitude
It's summer. It's hot. When I get a chance, I go to the cafeteria to eat and see some view. I like looking at other people eating outside. I don't know most of them. I was sitting quite far across hiding under the awning as it was sprinkling a little bit. It feels good on my skin being hit by some air, however warm.

Water and Tears
 |
| We flew to California and back. It was nice to see a real body of water, not just a man-made lake for a change. Today, I am participating with Wednesday Waters. |
