Not sure how to send a hug in the mail. I once sent someone a fruitcake in the mail.

Ha Ha! We are entitled to liking whatever we want to. 🙂
Perhaps I just haven’t tried the right one. Or do you wash it down with a lot of coffee?

Coffee or booze
Not all fruit cake is the same. I think many people have had the cheap crap and think all fruit cake is bad.

Well that makes sense about the coffee, for you drink bitter black coffee which masks the taste of the fruit cake and the alcohol makes you forget the taste of it I understand now! LOL!
I am sure though that yes, the quality of the fruitcake can vary.

There are more taste buds than the sweet ones.

I’ll be sure to tell Norman. 🐶He hates wet conditions after we got pounded with a wet storm yesterday.

Indeed, this is a time for life to slow down and enjoy listening to a bluebird sing.

You know that saying … Be careful what you wish for!
But it just had me thinking how so many of us have complained about being so busy rushing from one thing to another. And now …. perhaps we just should try to enjoy the stillness.

I am still busy working from home. And trying to convince my family that I am at the office even though they can see me.

I can see how that would make it hard to work at home, trying to make yourself invisible. I still am traveling to work, so don’t have that problem. Kind of hard to take care of an elderly lady from my home. 🙂

I hope you and the elderly lady stay well.

Who cannot be cheered by hearing the singing of a bird, especially one of Benjamin’s favorite “Orange-Bluebirds”? In these times of suggested and mandatory social distancing, sending hugs and kisses via email and snail mail is a necessity and receiving them is a welcome gift indeed! I cannot recall ever actually wanting to slow down, but retirement has afforded me the ability to do so. Fortunately, being an introvert by nature, staying home now does not bother me…but not having Benjamin to share it does!! Germany Kent, author of the wonderful uplifting book of March 2015 “The Hope Handbook”, provides some very inspirational thinking : “It’s a funny thing about life, once you take note of all the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.” Stay well and keep smiling! Thank-YOU!

Oh I am sure you do miss sweet Benjamin! Praying this passes soon but yes in the meantime, snail mail, email, and texting hugs all brighten the day!
Thanks for another great quote. So true!
Hugs, my friend! 💚

I do miss Benjamin’s cheery “Namaste, Gem! It’s me, Benjamin!” every time he came through my door and his yelling from the window as Mommy’s car rolled down the road “Bye Gem, I miss you already! You’re the bestest!”. Not to mention the joy filled hours betwixt the two! As Jill’s song of the day says…”Those Were the Days”. I am grateful for the technology that has gives me FaceTime via eldest Daughter’s newest iPhone. Admittedly, the thing confounds me. My phone, with no i, is the no-frills kind that makes and receives calls. Hugs back! Thank-you, again and always! P.S. Do look for Kent’s book that I mentioned. If you can find it by Googling it may show you a few of the pages. I think that you will love it!
