“Stop comparing yourself to other people,

just choose to be happy and live your own life”.

Blessings to you this Friday.  My page right now is all about winter and family but today let's take a road trip.  

All my life has been about cars.  My dad was a Plymouth, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep car dealer for 50 years.  Roadtrips were always a part of that life.  Do you have trips to reminisce about?  

Growning up with 500 acres I learned to ride motorcycles at a young age.  My favorite motorcycle road trip with Rbt was from Portland, OR down the coast on highway 101 around Crater Lake back up Hwy 97 through Bend and back to Portland.  Wayne and Evelyn were on that trip with us.  What memories!  

I love roadtrip along the coast lines.  Many, many years ago, Rbt and I traveled the coast line of California on Hwy 1.  We went through Pebble Beach and made a stop at Carmel Beach.  That was such a SHOCK to Rbt that the water was so cold.  Texas coast has warm water and NO wetsuits needed.  

While I don't like the cold weather, I have traveled to Banff in Canada and seen the biggest snow flurries on Mount Hood in Washington, again many years ago.  It is beautiful to look at but I still can't understand how people live in such cold.  I love the entire State of Texas!

A small car is fun to zip around town in, we had a Mini Cooper for a while, but I will always be a "MUSCLE CAR" girl at heart and no matter what I drive, I love driving fast.  

I wish I had gotten my Grandparents VW bus from Oakland, CA and had turned it into something like this 40 years or so ago.  What fun traveling around and sharing books with others would be.  I hope you have enjoyed the roadtrip and the vehicles and will explore a trip of your own soon.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam 

Hello, good morning. Each new day

can be a new beginning in our  lives. May your

Friday be prosperous. Enjoy a day of peace 

and harmony. Let's face  new challenges and

  continue with the energy you have in your  

 progress. Have a day full of happiness and 

 success, and never lose your beauty. Smile.

 A big hug, Maria. Take care...

No matter what happens, 

in most cases there is a way forward. 

Move forward by assessing the facts, 

with a vision of the ideal outcome in mind. 

Act with kindness, consideration, and care. 

And if there isn't a way yet, it's time to forge one.

It is Thursday and I sure hope to finish this project soon.  Every time I think I am done, something else shows up.  

I found this beautiful gate that would be perfect to enter the back yard through.  

Then this would look so natural in the bedroom for a dressing table.  Do people sitll use those?  

Of course I found a bed for the bedroom too and it really is comfortable.  

In the bathroom, after enlarging the tub, there was enough room for all my rubber duckies.  

It's almost FRiDAY by now and this project is closed!  Now I expect all of you to come for a visit sometime this year!  See you soon with lots of Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

You are not an insignificant 

particle of the universe; 

you possess the power of the 

entire universe in a single cell. 

That power is love.

It is Wednesday and my mind is still on redoing the entire house.  I just can't stop thinking about it.  

Would you just look at this coffee table!  It even lights up at night!  I just have to have it.  

I love fish and aquariums and this one is not so little but not too big.  It would fit somewhere, I'm sure of it.  

I know I am going to have to have them make a new front door for the house too.  I am having trouble deciding on the right size.  

I am considering a pool for the backyard.  My neighbors put a pool in last year across the street and the kids next door would love it if we had one too.  

After all, I need something to go with this cute bench I found.  Besides, I want you to come over and sit with me for a while.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam
