My friend

She was my wonderful friend. I knew her long time..She had a big heart. We use to get together once a week. We cleaned our church together.. Than afterwards we go out to eat together..

After her husband died, she stayed around for a little while. Outside of her house covered with beautiful flowers.
And she always had a big garden. On her garden she had all kinds of vegetables.. And she had fruit trees.
Every time I go to her house she always feeds me.. And she sends me home with delicious homemade
jellies and pickles.. She was my friend... Then she sold her house and moved to Tennessee.


She used to write beautiful long letters.   I went to visit her several times.. I knew that she was sick..
When she died I was so sad... She was my friend.. I miss her very much..  Rest in peace my friend.

Nice Day Walking

It's like a spring time ... decided to take walk..  I saw couple squirrel playing in the grass. Then I saw some birds looking for food. We have couple bird feeders outside. We try to keep it full for the birds..
I walked to the library to read  a today's paper.. Not much news.. But I enjoy reading it.Try to keep up with what happening around here. Front of the library there's a big tree.. I saw a little black squirrel .. He was playing.. I stood there and patiently  watched him..
Then I walked over my friend's house.. They just made a fresh coffee. I had a cup.. And we talked old stuff.
Finally after a while I left their house and walked back home..
It was a beautiful day for walking.. Enjoyed it...

Listening...

Here I am sitting on the chair at the beauty salon.. Listening to conversation. This lady talking about her life around her children. Another talking about the weather, I hear talking about beauty products.....


I can hear hair dryers making so much noise.. There's soft music I hear..  Couple children talking.. Ringing of the cell phones.. She is writing on her appointment book.


I am looking around... there is many shelf''s in the room.. And the shelf's are full of products... many kind of shampoo's, hair sprays, creams, brushes etc...


Now is  sun shining .  I'm writing this post. Listening to Natalie Cole CD.. I like her music..

Shopping

I love to go shopping.. To me shopping is fun...If you have the money of course..
You can go to different department stores.. Don't have to buy anything.. Just  look ..
Long time ago I went to the shopping mall. I was there all day. Guess what I didn't by anything. And I had fun.. Just walk around. Ate some food.  Than drove home.. I had fun..  But sometime I spend too much money of course.. Also I have fun too.. This life..

Our Pet

We once had a black dog named Sheba...We loved him very much.. Children play with him in the yard..
We lived in the country... Beautiful place..  Of course long time ago country roads were all dirt roads... Oh u can see... every time car or truck passes... dust, dust , dust... Can't open the house windows very much... Because of the dust. It was very dark at night..
Children loved Sheba very much... But one day we came home We saw Sheba laying on the edge  of the driveway.. How sad.. She was run over by car or truck... She was a older dog.. We all cried..
We buried him in the back yard...

Look at that beautiful sunrise... I don"t see this very often. Outside is still dark.. I can smell the brewing coffee, oh.. smells good..
It is so quiet in the house.. I poured some coffee, taste good.  Listening to television.
Now I look at the window . Outside getting lighter..  I must get ready for church. I will write more later.

roses and mountains

Oregon is a such a beautiful country. You can see the mountains on the background. There is Mount Hood.

So pretty. My daughter showed me from an airplane. I took a picture.

I can see the snow on the mountains. But there is no snow on the ground. I like that.

Then  there are beautiful rose gardens. And japanese gardens. We visited both gardens. Took pictures..

There are rose bushes outside in his yard. So big wonderful fragrance smell.. I love roses. In fact I just love all kinds of flowers.. I hope you like mountains and flowers too.

my busy day

Sometime I get so discouraged that I just don't have time for anything. I want to do so many things.. I want to learn another language, I want to go places, I want to have more time for my granddaughter. She is growing too fast.
But time goes fast.. I am so thankful that I am alive so I can do all those things..
But this is life. Everybody has the same time and day.. We just have to keep on going..
Got to go, I have to help one of my friend.

Sun shining

I can see the afternoon sun, very bright shining on my eyes. Oh how nice and warm make me feel.

Grass is covered with snow.. Sun always amazes me. I know I can't look at the sun very much.Because it hurts my eyes.. But I like the sun. It makes me feel good.

Evening Walk

It is cold outside. But I wanted to go for a short walk.. I have to bundle up..

I can hear couple of birds chirping.. I know they are  cold too. Then I heard cars and semi trucks on the road.. I walked couple blocks of my neighborhood...I smelled a firewood.. Smoke coming out of chimney..

Then heard another bird singing.. I like to sing too. Sometime I wish that I was a bird.. I can fly all over.

Finally I come home.. It was a short and cold walk.. But I enjoyed it...
