Wave a Wand

ABC Wednesday, Wave your magic wand, procrastination, depression






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

dog in panda costume
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

Tinikling Dance

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

Wordless Wednesday, gardens, bloom, flowers
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 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

ceramic 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

bank happiness, natural high activities, how to be happy
Enjoying a time outside, even if it's just
outside a new church.
It's the letter H week. What an inspiration to write on happiness.

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). :)
