another day

 And another random observation...

Hi Marti, J & K  ♥

Pedicure time, for me and my Lady Z.  She is 92 and since she does not drive any more, I take her with me.  

We have a favorite spot, just about 5 minutes away

Today is not a real busy day, there is only one other patron getting "the treatment"

It is a gentleman.  That is no surprise. A time or two prior, I have seen a male customer and believe me I KNOW a couple gentlemen who SHOULD be in that chair.

This gentleman is on the phone...does that ring ♫ a bell ? !   He is making sure that someone knows where to put the pods.  There is plenty of room for the pods.  There are plenty of pods.  

Not really paying attention, but this very tall gentleman in yellow has a very good voice and I am sure the party on the other end should be getting the picture.  He also has very nice looking feet.  They are big, and clean and no polish.  Right now he is getting his fingernails buffed. I cannot see the color ( not polite to stare ).   His pants, like football tight athletic pants, are white.  But his head band and sweatshirt are pretty yellow.  Also, his facemask.   I am pretty sure he is handsome.   And, maybe, he is famous.  

My favorite nail color is red ( only toes, I don't do fingernails any more ).   Red is almost like natural. It seems to go with everything.  I have never tried black or blue, but for me red goes with everything.

And my feet are now ready for sunny Arizona

I wonder if gentleman in yellow means pallets.   They are very versatile and sometimes you can get a free load, delivered !  The person on the other end should know by now that there is plenty of room for those pods.

Lady Z and I are in the finishing stages and gentleman in yellow. still on his phone,  slips into his.....yellow shoes...and goes out to the car.   Comes back, still on the phone, leaves $$ on the counter and away he goes

Now I am wondering, was there anybody on the other end of the phone, or perhaps,  he is deaf ?  because I can tell you ,
 for sure,
  right now, 
   even I know 
 there is plenty of room for those pods right where they belong

end of story.

I live an exciting life 

Random observation

 

Picture has nothing to do with my story
but it is a lovely bouquet
left at our door
without a card 

Hard NOT to notice a rather short "lady" entering the Cafe. She was wearing a very puffy white jogging suit.  In her hand was a very puffy clear bag full of red hearts     
 ( I was  thinking  she was thinking Valentines ).   

She was on her phone.

I was alone and minding my own business

My food came.  Even though it is noonish I order breakfast, my favorite meal.  I bowed my head and was thankful.   Looked up to see "lady in white" still on her phone.  She was now eating French fries. I love French fries.

I am enjoying my eggs, potatoes and bacon. I love bacon.  Lady in white is still on her phone.

But wait...I see some movement in her booth. Yes, there is a little person sitting across from her !  Now I see very cute pink boots.

Getting full, I seldom eat all my meal and Nikki ( my favorite waitress ) had already brought a box and bag for me to take home the rest.  She has also brought me another cup of hot coffee. 

My bill is paid.
Tip is given.
My chair is pushed in...
Step toward the booth of the lady in white and lean down to smile at the little gal in pink boots.  She looks up at me when I tell her " You have the cutest boots in the world"  She smiled back and said "thank you".  I told her that her hair was darling too.  It was several little braids that take Moms a long time to style.   She giggled. 

I felt warm inside and a little...different...

Life is full of interesting moments...I don't want to miss any..especially when they are right in front of me.

I live an exciting life

missing her today

 

Hardly a day goes by that I do not think about and miss my Mother

This picture stays on my kitchen windowsill 


Maybe it's because my friend Anita said goodbye to her mother last week and I was viewing the memorial to her.   The memories that come to mind ....so special.  Then I start to think about my own Mother and ...being a mother... and being a grandmother.

Then I began  reading cards that were sent to me 15 1/2 years ago and I could not stop.  Extra special when someone added a note, even if they had never met my mother.    Some that I could tell before opening, who had sent them.       Family, friends, one unsigned ...

 Then there was this one. 

Well it was perfect

Different from all the others

My mother,  your mother, well different from all the others 

Laughter and tears and highs and lows    

This is life, life to be taken seriously 

Yes is is a privilege
Yes there are times of laughter
Yes it happens every day

But

It is still a moment by moment reality that carries a responsibility
My opportunity as a mother is still open
and there are still grands that are part of my world

So,   Mom,   Grammy, Auntie, 
Take advantage of every moment to love on those I love so much



I live an exciting life
