Hello my dear friends, I'm back! I know I apologize for being away, but I've been working and I'd honestly forgotten about my favorite pastime, which is this site. Today I came back and had so many wonderful memories that it really made me want to return. I hope to continue to have your friendship, and I'll start visiting more often. Blessings and love to you all. ♥

“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open itself again and 

again so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~

Hello my friend, last day of July, smile it's Friday! Blessed Be...

“Believe in your infinite potential.

Your only limitations are those you impose on yourself.

Believe in yourself, in your abilities, 

and in your own potential.

Never let doubt paralyze you.

You are worthy of everything you dream of and yearn for.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

... and Friday and goodbye
to July; enjoy the weekend
and the start of August,
dear friend!  *hugs*

Hello my friend, enjoy your Thursday! One day closer...Blessed Be...

Hello! How is your week going for you?? Boyd&I are fine. I certainly have to work on my landscaping on the south West side of our house! Something happened to it this year!! South side gets very little sun, because of pine trees, West side gets plenty of sun in the afternoon. One of our neighbors down the road, brought us corn&green beans from his garden. This year, Boyd only planted, cucumbers& tomatoe plants. Too hard to maintain. Enjoy your week my friends! Hugs Shirley

“The least you can do in life

is discover what you yearn for.

And the most you can do is

live within that hope.

Not admire it from afar, but

live it fully, under its protection.”

~ Barbara Kingsolver ~

"It is interesting to observe 

that where life is simple and natural, 

and where children participate in the 

lives of adults, they are calm and happy."

~ Maria Montessori ~

“You will discover that it is 

necessary to let go of things;

simply because they are heavy.

So let them go, release them.

I don't tie weights to my ankles.”

Hello my friend, have a wonderful start to the new week. Last week of July! Blessed Be...

Good Morning my friends!  Another Monday has come around again and this is the last one in July.  

I love starting each day with my friends and coffee, most especially with you!  

That is the way I start each day, saying prayers and blessings over you and all those you love.  

I hope you feel the happiness and that it puts a smile on your face to share with others.  

Then as the day turns to evening and night, I hope you have been blessed beyond measure,  You are also remembered in my night time prayers.  

SWEETIE!

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE COUCH FOR YOU AND ME...

TAKE A LITTTLE TIME TO RELAX AWHILE...

I'LL POUR YOU A NICE CUP OF COFFEE AND SING A SONG , JUST FOR YOU! 

ANY PREFERENCE? JUST LET ME KNOW! HOW ABOUT "WE JUST COULDN'T SAY GOOD BYE" 

LOVE ALWAYS, AND FOREVER, ANN3ETTE HANSHAW "THAT'S ALL!"  

Saturday is the best day of the week.  A day for fun and family or to do NOTHING!  

It is also a day to share your love!  Find any way you can, by email, text, visiting someone in person or by phone.  

Take time to smell the flowers but watch out for bees and wasps.  They love to pollinate the plants so we have many more growing!  

If you are out and about be sure to give someone you know a Hug!  A stranger might not understand it, unless you ask them if they need a Hug first.

At the end of the day, take the time to show your love by visiting with your family or even reading a book to the grands.  Love will abound!  

“I would say that today is a beautiful day,

not because of the weather or how beautiful the sky looks,

but because it is a new day full of opportunities

and a chance to start from scratch.”

~ Onipede Ayomide ~

“One of the lessons I grew up with

was to always be true to myself and

never let what others say

distract me from my goals. That’s why,

when I hear about negative

and false attacks, I don’t pay attention to them,

because I know who I am.”

~ Michelle Obama ~

HI, SWEETIE!

Hello on this hot Thursday!  It is definitely Beach weather!  

Have you ever seen turtle tracks on the sand?  I have on South Padre Island!  All I can say is WoW!  

You have to be there at the right time before the tide comes in and washes the tracks away.  

From Sunup to Sundown each day is different and there is so much to see, like Sand Castles being built!  

It warms the heart as well as your body!  Now go grab that tan and enjoy the day!  

Before you know it the day is over but the memories will be still there! 

Blessings & Hugs!  

Hello my friend, have a lazy hazy day just because. Blessed Be...

"Never miss an opportunity to show your love, 

especially to your loved ones, 

because we are always more cautious 

with them for fear of getting hurt."

Hello my friend, wishing a terrific Tuesday for you! Blessed Be...
