Happy Hour Chatter

I was standing in line to check out at Stop-N-Go yesterday.  A construction worker was standing off to the side.  I ask, “are you waiting in line?”  He says, “no I’m in no hurry.  Actually I’m looking at your sandals  Nice.  Nice toenail polish too!” I say, “Thanks…. I’ve actually gotten a few compliments on them today” (which I had, from two different officers – male, I might add.) He says, “yeah, you should’ve….they’re nice.   If you can get away with wearing strappies like that, go for it.”   Okayyyyy????  (chuckle) Never thought guys would notice shoes, let alone the color of my toe nail polish…  but oh well!  Kinda made my day, in a creepy kind of way!  (hahahaha)            

This found its way in to my mailbox over the weekend.  I couldn’t agree more with the words, so thought I’d share it with all of you as well.  Perhaps you’ve seen it, perhaps not.  Either way, it’s a wonderful read and definitely so true.  We, as sisters, need each other each and every day.  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*******~*~*~*~*~**~~~~~~~~*~*~*~*~**************~*~*~*~*~*************~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~   A  young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.     " Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love you...

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!      

The sun!!  It’s absolutely beautfiul to see the sun so bright in the sky.  I’ll take this over snowy, cold, gloomy days anytime!  Those types of days are just around the corner (brrrr!). I always have good intentions of posting on my blogs every night….but by the time I get home, eat supper, clear the table, do the dishes, and yada-yada-yada….I’m just plain exhausted!   (And NO!  I am NOT getting older!!) So how the heck are you all doing??  Been feeling well?  Been starting to think about Christmas shopping?   Ya, I know!!  It’s not that far away, is it?!  It really hit home for me when I went in to a retail store and they were sporting Christmas decorations already.   For chrissakes, it wasn’t even Halloween yet?!  Oooooo…did you all get a lot of trick or treaters??!   We didn’t!  I bought a mountain of candy – why I don’t ...
