Spent the day with my sister and great nieces and nephews. A fun time. We took them to a small petting farm, where they saw little goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks. They also had SAND to play in and kids love sand! But the best thing is having my little three year old niece say, “I love you Aunt Carolyn.” What is it about little ones that make you melt. What made you smile today?

Happy Tuesday! There is an inspirational thought going around our town now. It’s the saying, “If our mall hasn’t given up yet, neither should you!” LOL! I think I shared on here before how our mall used to be a bustling place, the place to be, but like many malls, has now become a ghost town. Everyone expected it to go under years ago, but its still standing with one solitary store still operating inside of it. An antique store. The movie theater just left the mall last month, which we would thought would close the mall for sure, but it still stands. So, if anyone is looking to open up a shop, we have the space here for you! Come to the wonderful state of Pennsylvania. While you are thinking of what business to start up in our mall, enjoy the following quotes! Have a great week and thanks for reading.

Happy Tuesday! Tried something new in regards to making S’mores. Roasted a strawberry with marshmallow fluff on it and added some chocolate to it with graham crackers. Like a regular S’more. Well, sometimes what sounds good, isn’t as good as it sounds. A little too sweet, for even me. But one doesn’t know if they don’t try! Enjoy the quotes, may they bring the right amount of sweetness, inspiration and laughs to your week.

Happy Tuesday, or is it Monday? Today you get quotes and a song. A song that I am sure most of you have heard, “Manic Monday”. I listened to it this morning on Clive’s blog, . https://cliveblogs.wordpress.com/2023/05/14/song-lyric-sunday-bangling/
I listened to this song when my day started and well, my day was manic, but all is well now, and it was worth the smile it brought me this morning. He shares the orignial version by the Bangles, and a version by Kate Rusby. A video of her singing with her adorable little girls. Its worth watching! I hope you enjoy it, and if your day has been manic, I hope you can have a relaxing evening. That’s my plan!

Happy Tuesday! My husband and I have a chance at fame. They are filming a Christmas movie in Gettysburg, which is close by us and they are looking for people willing to be cast as extras. You know, the people who are walking the streets or in restaurant, etc.We read how one of the spots they are filming at is a historical restaurant that we have been to before. It is a really good restaurant and it was a part of the underground railroad. You can explore the part of the building where they hid the slaves, after or before your meal. Anyway IF, which is a big if, we get to participate as “extras”, I will be sure to let you know and don’t worry, I won’t let the fame go to my head. I hope your week is going well and that you enjoy the following quotes. That they bring a smile and a bounce to your step.

If you are having to do something hard, think of how you accomplished something really tough years ago! You learned how to walk! I am watching a one year old this week who is learning how to walk. She pulls herself up and lets go with one hand of what she is holding onto, and for a split second holds on with no hands and then falls down. Then back up. So determined. We need to keep that spirit of determination as adults. Don’t give up! Keep Smiling and I hope you enjoy the following quotes.

Happy Tuesday which I keep thinking is Monday, but I did remember the quotes today. My daughter and I had a relaxing morning of watching another Christmas movie, for Christmas really isn’t over until after New Year’s. I hope warm, happy memories were made to those who celebrated Christmas and if Christmas was hard this year, I am sorry. I know that it isn’t always the “Most wonderful time of the year.” I hope that next year can be better for you. To all those parents out there that wonder if your children will remember the Christmas traditions you have, I would like to say they pay more attention than you think. I was told by my children who are now 21 and 23 that I had done something wrong, according to our tradition. It was something small but they noticed!It was something easily fixed, and all was well, as I shook my head. Then there was the tradition of Egg Nog that almost didn’t happen! We got the last Egg Nog on the shelf. Next year I am buying it December 1st.
I wish you a good week, whether you are still relaxing and celebrating or back to work. At least its a shorter work week. Any big plans for welcoming in the New Year?

Happy Tuesday before Christmas! We could possibly have a white Christmas this year. Its supposed to be bitter cold so there at least should be some pretty snow to look at out the window, as we stay cozy inside. I wouldn’t mind being snowed in for the weekend. As long as Santa has Rudolph, he will be able to see his way through any snowstorm. Rudolph is another one of my favorite Christmas movies. Can’t leave that part of my childhood go. Enjoy the clip and the Christmas quotes.

Happy December! Christmas jazz is playing and some of my Christmas lights are on. My son got me an Enchanted Rose light that is so pretty. He told me that its a flower that won’t die, being that most of mine do. Did anyone else go over the reccomended daily allowance of sugar ? Peppermint Bark is making me go over, what is your favorite Christmas candy? Enjoy the quotes and remember to slow down this month amidst all the busyness of the season. Take time to savor the magic.
