Ramblings




Good morning. With coffee in hand I thought I would do a post and just some ramblings .... Have been cutting and embellishing paper dolls once again the past couple days. I may have time to share some this weekend... Tom has city tournaments this weekend and when he is finished on Sunday he will be leaving for Indy to visit with his son and family for 3 days. I usually stay at home as they spend father and son time golfing most of the whole time. I can work on dolls and dolls and more dolls and I want to make some Christmas Tags for my tree this coming season. Thinking it is about time to start changing my home to a warmer look for fall and the winter season... Changing cloths, silks, pillows ect.... I know things are coming to a complete change soon as we covered the pool yesterday. The water temp was no longer a comfortable temp for a few weeks now... It is a wake up call when I see the pool covered however. The crickets and the leaves were the only ones using the pool. Last night as I sat and watched the sunset, the crickets and the locust were what seemed to be deafing.... The neighbors dog was barking, cause they were riding their horse and he spasses out... I was wondering for a couple hours what had happened to my quiet home in the country... This morning however as the sun rises the peace has returned.... I haven't told my daughter but I have started a rough draft on a outline of a book I want to write for her about my life.... I will put it together only for her and the boys to read... I am so sure there are so many things that she is not aware of that happened during those years.... I not must try to come up with the creativity to fill in the stories. I am thinking this may become a real venture and could end up pulling at some heart strings... mainly mine ... as no one else is aware I am doing this... I haven't even said anything to Tom. A great winter project... It will be a tale of many struggles and wisdom gained because of them.... Not so much as story of wealth and laughter but some giggles along the way... It will be a story of truths however.... The story will take a plunge after a few pages with the loss of a father at a young teen age creating many mountains to climb... and I had to use ropes to catch the many falls downward.... Like I said a minute ago... Many heart strings will be pulled at once again....

I must sign off for now as today is cleaning day.... Tom just put the portable air conditioner back in storage... another sign that the fall season is upon us.... The day appears to be a beautiful one and so is the forecast for the weekend ... Time to enjoy......

Oh Marietta, I can think of no better gift for a parent to give a child. I know your book will be wonderful!! Happy writing!

We need to get our air conditioners out of the windows and put away too. Definitely a sign of fall being upon us.
