No can do believe my 

guy!

Starting about 2:00 a.m. 

he got up every half an 

hour to check out the

moon.

Finally about 5:00, he 

decided 'twas time I had

a look-see. And, from

then on, we did the every

half hour thing together!

I have to smile . . . he's

sun and pays attention to

the moon and I'm moon

and pay attention to the

sun.

Methinks must mean we

are made for each other.

Might just be the best

supermoon  E V E R !!!

Pray tell me I'm your 

favest lunatic . . .

"Light a candle while you

fold laundry. Put fresh 

flowers on your desk while

you work. Brew your coffee

like it's a ceremony. These

small acts of intentionality

transform routine into ritual, 

tasks into treasures, and 

moments into memories."

~Vex King

Found this delightful quote

this early morn . . .

Rather wish the entire world

could see it and be so inspired.

Chores are mundane for a

reason. What could it hurt to

spice them up a tad?!

   -Music whilst cooking

   -Ask hub's help to make bed

   -Ice cream for doing dishes

All of us have tasks and errands

when we'd rather be at the beach

taking in the sun. 

Not living near a beach at this 

time, methinks I'd do well to 

spice up my daily do list . . .

 . . . one way or another!

I would so love to write

but I'll be busy w/Day 4

of mole making . . .

As soon as I get done

with the dentist today, 

(!@#$%^&*()_+)

I'll be devouring mole

every little while . . .

Delish! Delightful!! 

Divine!

Today is Day 3 of my

annual mole making . . .

Rather beyond exhausting

but over the top phenom

at the end of the day!

Day 1 is stem, seed, soak!

As I tend to make a lot, it

takes a lot of time.

Day 2 is slow boil for hrs

and Day 3 is blend, sift

three times over.

Then comes the seasoning

part . . . I have a list of 99

ingredients I like to add. 

In reality, I probably use

anywhere from 40 - 60.

Slow boiling, seasoning,

tasting . . . and finally we

get to eat. Sooooo enjoy 

it over rice and beans, 

enchiladas!

I can already feel the 

scales tipping upward,

but ever so worth it!

Like a taste?

"I hope I never tire of

the night sky, of watching

cream make galaxies in 

my coffee. I hope I never

grow to be someone who

can no longer see the small

beautiful things." spilled ink

One of the things I like about

being older is the joy I find

in the small things.

-Sitting on the porch with a

friend watching the night 

lights turn on . . .

-Ice cream for breakfast in

bed . . .

-An unexpected compliment . . .

-A card in the mailbox . . .

All sweet, small gifts that

make my day ever so lovely!

Thanking the Universe ever

and always!

"You cannot get through a

single day without having

an impact on the world

around you. What you do

makes a difference, and

you have to decide what

kind of difference you

want to make."

~Dr. Jane Goodall

I bow at the feet of this

incredible woman. What

an example she is for us

all.

She is a shero for all time!

I use 'is' rather than 'was'

because she lives within

our hearts forever and

always.

We obviously cannot be

her. Still, it's important that

we too make a difference

in our own way.

Maybe for us it may be 

a smile at someone who 

seems sad. Perhaps an

unexpected compliment.

Reaching up high at the

supermarket for an old

gal who's otherwise too

short.

Methinks we tend to

believe that if our acts

aren't grand, they don't

matter. Bottom line,

they do matter.

Doing the small things

brighten the days on

both sides of the fence.

Let's do this!!!

"The best thing about

getting older is becoming

clear on what does and

doesn't matter." 

~Anita Opper

Sooooo like this! Indeed,

clarity seems to come

with age. Wish it could

be sooner, but seems age

is a requirement.

Having been at death's door

myself, I simply have no

issue with aging. 'Tis a fab

blessing, make no mistake!

Every time I hear someone

complaining about aging, I

always think, "Consider the

alternative!"

Here's moi, looking forward

to my 76th year. Need to

listen to my own advice and

stop complaining. Looking

forward to what may be

coming. 

May I be up for anything 

and everything!!!

10/01/2025

Finally!!!

I look forward all year to

October, my birth month!

Thought it would never

come . . .

And, the first four days

promise to be lovely. I'll

be sitting outside by the 

pond, enjoying the last

of the good weather and

raising my marg to the

sun!

I like to do something

special each day of the

month. This time around,

I'm keeping it simple. 

As I turned 75 last year, 

I went a tad crazy and the

result was gaining 20 lb.

Funny, took me one mo

to gain it and nine mo to

take it off . . . a full

gestation period . . . go

figure!

Today, we're off to town

for my fave pizza. My

tasks for the month, make

a new spice mix and . . .

MOLE!!!

Can hardly wait . . .
