Subject: Shared Beauty
When you find a beautiful spot
Don’t keep the place all to yourself
Share the beauty with your dear friends
It’s more sweet with a dozen eyes
I hope your day was as beautiful as mine.

Beautiful friendships
Add quality to your life
Give colorful love
Nothing beats friendship
In the sunshine of real love
Quality time shared
Life’s real blessings:
Health, love, and long-time friendships.
They color my life.
Love is what we want
Love is what the world needs most
There’s never too much
Today Bob & I had the privilege of the company of two very happy, warm, genuine people. Friends like these are part of life’s treasures. We are so grateful for them.
Last year we shared time with these friends at their place. This year they are sharing time with us here in Rancho Mirage.
When you have friends who are happy and positive, it is easy to remain cheerful – even when crazy, bizarre things are happening in the world around you.
Never give up hope.
Find happy, warm, genuine
and sincere people.
Keep your eyes open
And your mind constantly keen.
Joy and kindness reign!
Let joy come to you
In the form of caring friends.
Let them fill your heart!
Today I will be quiet on WordPress. It is my day to be present with my friends who are visiting.. I hope you have a beautiful Saturday.
I pray that you have happy,
warm, genuine friends
to share your weekend with you.
God bless you!
I wish you could be here with us!
Yesterday I posted my pictures with angel wings.
I toldja my maiden name’s DeAngeles (of angels). But who woulda thunk that’d pay off in 2020 here on earth?
What a blessing! We are enjoying a little piece of heaven right here on earth today. Yup, God is good!
Those ladies are teeing off right outside our patio.
Inside it’s as beautiful as it is outside.
What’re you doin’ this evening?
Tell me about your favorite place that’s like heaven on earth to you.
See ya tomorrow!
Ever wanted to
Wear your angel wings right now?
Why wait for heaven?
Here I am in wings
Before my heavenly home
How did that happen?
Sadly, fifty-eight
Beautiful souls were gunned down;
But their souls live on.
Riverside City
Has many wings on display
For would-be angels.
They’re just waiting for
Angelic folks like I’m not –
Ready to pose there.
Doesn’t it look fun
To pretend you’ve earned your wings
Long before you do?
Keep working at it!
You, too, can look angelic…
Now – try acting it!!
After our angel tour in Riverside, we went with Janet and Charley to the Mission Inn. The Christmas decorations all still were up – only of course, the outdoor light display was not twinkling. We could see all the light bulbs, though. Must have been a million of them.
I hope you had a happy Saturday, too.
You can see mine was quite enjoyable.
I think I already see some feathers growing …
See ya tomorrow.
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
Dolly Parton
We are headed for a weekend with our dear friends, the Ducsays. They live 6 months in our “hood” in Montana and 6 months in Southern California. We are in miserable 😩 CA traffic. But, if ya wanna see your friends, Dolly Parton would tell us, ya gotta put up with the traffic.
When we went to our son’s for Christmas, we stopped overnight at a half way point, and woke up to snow covered cars the next morning. Dolly would say, “If ya wanna see family who live two days away, ya gotta sacrifice a little time and comfort.”
Last night we had dinner with Bob’s brother and his wife. We enjoyed this week’s visit with them. Don’t feel like we had to “put up” with anything to enjoy their company. But, they had to “put up” with us! We’re so grateful for their love and hospitality!
What “rain” do you have to “put up with” in order to see your next 🌈 rainbow 🌈?
That Dolly Parton quote was part of an excellent post by Barbara Franken today. Her blog inspired these thoughts of mine. Check it out! There is lots of “meat” in it to chew on. Not hard to “put up” with her at all!
Barbara’s WordPress site is “Me, My Magnificent Self.”
Have a Fabulous Friday and a Wonderful Weekend.
We had a wonderful day yesterday – the day of Bob’s 81st birthday. It started at our son’s house in Placerville where happiness definitely knocked on our door and entered in full array!
We went to church with our family at “Jesus Culture” in Folsom. We filled a row in the congregation of more than 1,500 people. It was amazing! Every seat was filled. People were standing in the aisles. The music and the message were God-inspired.
After church we visited dear, long-time friends whom we had not seen in a decade. We learned that our friend has stayed in touch with us (between years of Christmas cards) by following my Facebook posts. She doesn’t click “like” or leave a message, so I had no idea that she was one of my regular followers. When we got together, the years dissolved … and it was like we had never been apart. Do you have friends like that?
After that wonderful visit, with a delicious lunch and memorable, heart-felt, warm conversation, we returned to our son’s house where we celebrated Bob’s 81st birthday. Our daughter-in-law and granddaughter made Bob’s favorite birthday “cake,” a Jamoca-Almond-Fudge pie. Mmmm!
I pray that the happiness we feel be in your heart today. May it knock on your door, stay late, and leave the gifts of peace, love, joy and good health behind.
Hugs to You !!
