| Happy Tuesday y'all! Thoughts from the lot, Tuesday, February 10: Morning on the porch: it's dark when we go outside. I can barely see enough to hook Gracie to her cable. Early traffic and a dog barking here and there give way to birdsong. God, coffee, and my dog...perfect. The day blushes shyly in the east, growing bolder each minute. Some days soft colors, other bold. The lot was a great start for both of us. She had lots of cars to run with. Me? 3+2+2=7 laps! |
| Sounds wonderful! |

| Good morning! It is brrr cold here. I haven't been out of the house since Friday morning. I'm okay. I can occupy myself. I have food and power. However, Gracie is bored and restless. She's into everything and making me crazy. It will be tomorrow or Tuesday afternoon before we can get out. Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy!    from me and Gracie  |
| Happy Saturday morning from m little place! I'm back online! I've been without a computer, and wifi,at home. I had a dog sitting gig right after Christmas which allowed me to buy a Chromebook. And, I've had Straight talk for over 30 years. I'd been having trouble with it for a few months now and decided to change to the pink company. Phone and wifi. Yay!!!! PLease forgive me if my posts look weird--spelling, punctuation, etc. I'm still workin on brain stuff since my stroke. I try to slow down and focus.Now that I'm back to writing, that will help. Gracie and I are still going to the lot for her to play and me to walk. We have a whole following now! Those going to work and taking their kids to school wave are me while Gracie runs the fence line with them. Several have stopped to say hello. They tell me how much they love seeing Gracie play. That makes my heart smile. Y'all have a gorgeous day! from me and Graie! |
| Thoughts from the lot, Wednesday, December 10: We got to the lot early. The morning was still yawning itself awake. There was a bright half moon in the sky and the clouds were tinged in rose pink. Two different flocks of geese flew over. Gracie grabbed her purple ball and chased them. She's so funny! A buzzard flew low overhead. I waved at it so it knew I was alive and it wouldn't start circling. At my age you can't be too careful! Y'all have a gorgeous day! |
| Happy Tuesday from my little place! We're doing well. Gracie and I go to the lot every morning. Since the first I've been wearing a Santa hat. Its fun! My best friend from high school and I have reconnected over writing and stroke. She had hers at 50. Anyway, she tagged me on a post for a 12 day writing Chatham began on the first. You write either vignette, short poem ,or haiku. Depending on the day. Some ate written prompts ,some are pictures Ive never written a haiku before. It was fun! This has really awakened my creative side again! I hope to get a computer with dog sitting money. Y'all have a gorgeous day from me and Gracie! |
| I do these on Facebook each day. Its been a hit. Thoughts from the lot, Friday, December 5: Even though it was in the mid30s, it was nice out. No wind makes a difference. I'm conflicted about something that happened this morning. There was an old man on a bicycle with a small crate on front with stuff(belongings?) I'm it. He was excited thrilled with Gracie. He stopped on the west side and tried to make friends. She was hesitant. He then rode down the alley and stopped again. This time she moved about midway between us and stayed there. No aggression. Then, he came around the north side and stopped. This time she okay with him. He asked her name. Something said no. I told him Mae. Her name is Gracie Mae. He pet her over the fence for a few minutes then told me to have a nice day and left. These days, it's just smart to be wary. I'd never seen him before. On the other hand, was I wrong to not be friendly? It kinda makes me wary of going but I think Gracie would go after anyone that meant harm. And she did warm up to him. I don't want to be rude to someone who may be homeless and is just looking for human connection. Anyway, 4 laps. Yall enjoy your day, hugs! |
| Thoughts from my warm, dry house, Thursday, December 4: Gracie is not happy about us not going to the lot this morning. I have to pick up a prescription after while so she gets to go for a ride. Maybe then. She's getting chest scratches so she's content right now. I'm going to attempt addressing Christmas cards today. The stroke affected my left side and I'm a lefty so my writing is horrid. I'll go to the library to type out letters. Today was a close friend's birthday. She hated it because her nephew passed , I think, on the 3rd. I always told her that I celebrated it because if she hadn't been born I never would have met her. I kind of get deaths taking the luster off. Mom died 5 days after my birthday and this same friend died 9 days before. I do celebrate that I made it another year. As one gets older, we tend to cherish our time. I think I'll read today. Y'all find something special to bring joy to your day! |
| Thoughts from the lot, Monday, December 1: Gracie was one happy girl this morning. Her public is back! She ran and played with purple ball. A plane flew overhead over the clouds. She could hear it but not see it. It was funny watching her look for it. It's December and tis the season. I decided to wear one of my Santa hats this morning. It's fun and, hopefully, brightens everyone's day during this busy, crazy season. I have a headband with Christmas trees also but the hat was warmer on this cold morn. Now we're home snug under the covers. Y'all have a cozy day! |
