Ireland

There has got to be something good in this old Irish blessing that will bring a smile to anyone's face.
Perhaps even a good feeling in one's soul to know and read it.

Ireland is a beautiful place of rest and relaxing for those who seek it. I for one enjoy a good rest and relaxing, a time out if you will for self contemplating on what is important to bring one's mind around to the thoughts and  reflections needed from this busy life we live every day.

Could you imagine never taking time out to reflect back and be thankful for what has been given to you. It would not bring much relief. How sad.

It is said that life is not greener on the other side... but I believe it can be in a sense of belief.

Life is given to us freely to use as we see fit, to live and to love. We can choose to live life on our terms and belief. Freedom is and will always be a choice for us no matter who says it is not.

Ireland has a beautiful song that is one of my favorites called Danny Boy. When really listening to the words of this song comes a meaning of  Love.

Another Version of Danny Boy by a young man  Daniel O'Donnell

I hope you enjoy these beautiful performances as much as I did for a time out today.

Ireland means a lot to my heart because of a dear friend of mine whom is from Ireland born and raised there by his parents up until the age to leave and live his life. I truly enjoyed knowing my friend from Ireland he had such love for his country and this song Danny Boy.

Ireland is rich in green grace as well as tradition.. many an old timer there will tell you a good old story of Ireland and even a joke or two. My friend told many a good joke... I can hear the laughter he left his captured audience by a good old joke.

Who would not want to go to Ireland and see the beauty to behold.  There is yet one place to be explored and to cherish a life time of memories of happy times, old charms, old jokes and stories to be heard, peace and relaxation. Perhaps an Old Irish Blessing will begin the journey.

Exchange of Flowers!

I made a new friend. I was happy to do so.

Here is my true story.

Yesterday we were driving in our neighborhood going to the local drug store.

I have noticed this neighbor’s beautiful flowers out in front of her house for several spring seasons.

I notice she was outside so I ask hubby to slow down and let me ask her what the name of those flowers were. My husband pulled up beside her curb and I ask her.

She called a name I was not familiar with and I told her they were just beautiful. She explained to me that they smelled beautiful too and they multiply in a year with just a few. I could smell them from our car window.

She ask me if I would like a starting plant from them and I said yes I would. So she proceeded to get her shovel and I walked with her to the flower bed on the side. She dug up the clump of flowers and put them in her bucket and said, I do this all the time for people who want them.

We talked for about 20 minutes and I told her I would bring her a flower from my garden that my sister shared with me years ago. It is of the  cactus  family we think, that you don’t have to water very often. It blooms out beautiful clumps of purple flowers that last through the heat of Texas summers. She was very interested and accepted my free offer.

Making new friends in neighborhood is not a bad thing. It turns out she was from Germany decent and loved the USA.

Also you might find  this interesting to know, most neighborhoods have Neighborhood Watch club. That right, and it is very good for instance for the elderly in the neighborhoods because they are being watch to protect them from any unwanted suspicious person lurking about, robbers, gangs and such.

Our good neighbor across the street from us told us about this. It is free and you can even start one up in your own neighborhood. It is wise to know what is going on in one’s neighborhood to know if your safe or not. Drive by shootings are on the way out because of this Neighborhood watch.

I believe you will agree being involved in the neighborhood watch is most important to keep our neighborhoods safe for us and our children for years to come and for generations coming.

Making it a point of importance will be noticed by those you don’t want in your neighborhoods with the signs in the yard of the of the leader of this group will make an impact.

Think Tank

Think Tank:

Have you ever wondered how the inventors started. Never has there been an invention sold without a lot of thought process put into it. Thinking what your going to write for a article is a thought put down on paper, or typed up in word from  your computer.

Starting is the process of building any dream, dreaming is the life of that dream you have that processed and finished creates lasting happiness you started to begin with.

Looking to the future with a dream can be very profitable. Failure is not a option when you want your dream to come true so bad that you will work until it is a reality. That proves smart on your part.

Look at the one who has work on their dream and are living it today. Can you see the invention they dreamed up and work on until it was finished? Failure was not an option, making their dream come true was, Action is what they used to make their dream come true. Action always speaks louder than words.

There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness. - Maria Mitchell

Apricot Lemon Cookies

Do you like to make cookies for your children? Here is a simple recipe easy enough to make for your children for an after school snack.  What child would not like these cookies. As a matter of fact what adult would not like these delicious cookies.

Cookies are a family favorite at our house. The smell of fresh baked cookies filling the house is just what will get you attention in the kitchen quicker than anything. That smell will linger for hours pleasing the hard to please child.  

It is important to the body to use as much organic ingredients as you can in this recipe. It is not hard to switch. Your body will thank you with healthy body for years to come.

I found out switching to organic saved me a lot of money to doctors office because I was sick, and off of operating table because of illness cause by the wrong foods I chose. Organic makes sense because the foods are not sprayed 40 times with cancer causing poisons. Ever wondered why the simple fruit, grapes , look bigger than last years in the  grocery stores. It is the grapes are spread at least 40 times. Now can you image what that is doing to the body with the poisons. Those same grapes have no taste. Tasteless grapes are not good. Do a test and taste for your self. Organic grape against a non- organic grape. You will taste the difference.

Looking for Work?

Looking for work is a full time job in itself these days, and there is not guarantees you have the job or how long you will keep the job because of downsizing of these companies who are trying to put more money in their pockets.

It is hard these days to find a high paying job. almost extinct some say.

With more and more popularity leaning towards online, at home, work from home jobs that pay you a nice sizeable income for the work you produce. It is a way you can earn from home with work your own hours in a happy environment that you don't have to travel every day to and from work leaving you with headaches of pleasing the boss.

It just makes sense to some to stay at home especially if you have children. The rising cost of day care, and worries about your children safety and being taken care of is a bit concerning.

Parents are looking for ways to work from home, depending on one income out side the home. It is a smart solution to many problems. Money still rolls in and most of the time the same amount that the parent was making out side the home. This can be a life time solution for many parents who want extra income.

With new work online solutions that pop up every day or weekly... it is a choice one has to make very carefully. Choosing a company with years behind them and happy satisfied customers is what you will be looking for to work for... there are a couple I can think of right off the top of my head that have a good track record that is important. Also look at the pay in a month you can make with bonus's. It is possible with the right company.

Cocoa

About 14 years ago I decided I wanted another poodle, our first poodle was white just like the
one in this picture her name was Sugar. So I started looking for someone who sold registered poodles in the local paper which I luck out
and found a women that raised poodles so I called and sure enough she had baby poodles just
born so she said I could come and look at them. I did and they were adorable. There were only
2 left that did not already have a deposit on. So I picked out the poodle I wanted and gave her
the down payment on the poodle. She begin to tell me the story of the generation of this poodle. She had come from a long blood line of show dogs and from a famous Texas Goouchy line that
were famous poodle show dogs. Well I was impressed. And she told me when I come to pick
her up to take her home she would have newspaper clipping ready for me about Texas
Goouchy. The puppies were about 1 and 1/2 weeks old so I knew it would be at least 4 weeks
old or 5 before I could pick my poodle.
I waited ever so patiently as I could, and one day I got a call from the women that I could pick up
my poodle that the mother was trying to kill the pup at 3 1/2 weeks old. So I was so excited to
hear this news, as soon as my husband got off work we went to pick up my poodle and paid for
her, and sure enough she gave me a copy of the poodles bloodline with a newspaper clipping of
the picture of famous Texas poodle.
I named my little fluff ball Cocoa. She was so playful and loved being played with. She was so
tiny and cute. We took her just about everywhere we went. Our friends invited us to go on a trip to Mississippi and we took her along in the car with us she
slept laying across the back of my neck almost all the way there. We had such fun with her.
I think of this today and our many travel 's with her in our motor home and hotels we stay in and
how great she did. I believe traveling with a small dog as we did worked out just fine and she
seem to adapt to the traveling very well.
If we left her which was not to often we would always leave her with her vet that boarded pets.
Now Cocoa is old and blind and we know we probably won't have her with us but just a few
more years. I will not be looking forwarded to that day. As we think of her as our baby and how
much she means to us. We do have very fond memories that we will cherish forever.
A few years ago she died in her sleep. We will all ways miss her and forever in our hearts.
