thankful thursday

“Are You My Mother” is the title of this post’s featured picture…This was when we first got little Mz. Rosie and she thought our sweet Mz. Bella was her mom, awwww too cute !!! <3 .

Good Thursday morning blogger’s, same song, second verse, blah, blah, blah…Winter Weather Advisory…yes more snow, wind, ice, and below zero temperatures !!! January in Chicago, but life is always so much better when you are thankful for a new day, no matter..

Just a few updates to share with my blogging fam…The Potato People is coming along…

The Potato Eater’s/Vincent

The artist will be working on his painting this weekend b/c I’m sure we will be inside. It’s payday this week. That’s always a good thing. I’m getting my hair done with my very best friend’s tomorrow so looking forward to that.

I think I’ll add some music today. Music soothes the soul and can heal. Singing and dancing is the fabric of my life. It gets me through the worst of times <3 . This ones for you Connie <3 .

The “Vid” seems to be going away, imagine that. Who would have thunk that after President Trump was out of office, all of the sudden it’s gone. They really must thing we’re stupid, NOT…. I live in a blue state so for some reason they want us shut down still. I guess that fat old Pritzker wants to get as many of the fed’s dollar’s to waist as he can. I’m not going to think about him, I’m just going to focus getting out of here (Illinois) asap !!!! Move to a red state, and find some freedom and sanity while this is still America land of the free !!!!

Here’s a thought to think about. When your 20 years old, you have a heart <3 . When your 40 years old, you now have a brain 😉 . Thank God, I’m in the latter category 🙂 …

Signing off for this morning, time for coffee with the husband and get my day going…He’s out on a walk with our new friend Mz. Rosie <3 She’s a bundle of energy and has so much Rosie Love <3 …

Rosie <3

A Work in Progress

Vincent Van Gough…One of his first painting’s…”The Potato Eater’s” I think, “The Potato People” is a better title, but shhhhh don’t tell the painter he’ll definitely give me that look. You know the look, “What are you thinking,” look. I’m calling it the The Potato People, 😉 …

The Artist begins the painting, “The Potato Eater’s.”
The Artist continues…
Getting a lot done, better than snow blowing 🙂

Song Lyric Sunday

Happy Song Lyric Sunday fellow blogger’s…Todays prompt from Mr. Jim is, “Chat/Laugh/Rant/Scream/Talk.” Oh brother, here we go again, if it’s not broken, stop fixing it. WordPress has changed things around again, ughhh. I suppose I’ll learn it, after all what choice do I have. I digress, sorry. WordPress has made creating a link different but I figured it out. This is my song for today. It makes me feel a little bit old, but I have decided that is kind of a good thing. I have learned so much this far and when I think of things people have said to me, it makes me smile b/c I think I’ve been there, done that 😉 and I’m glad I’m past that place in time. Because some of it wasn’t that great to begin with and they don’t even know the road they’re on is long and it’s not always an easy one. It’s fun watching, b/c I’m good and I already made it. Their tunnel is long and they can’t even see the light yet. Back to the Song Lyric Sunday…

Midnight Cowboy

Everybody’s Talkin’

Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mindPeople stopping, staring
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyesI’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothesBanking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stoneI’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothesBanking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stoneEverybody’s talking at me
Can’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mindI won’t let you leave my love behind
No, I won’t let you leave
I won’t let you leave my love behind

I admit I never watched the movie and the song came from the husband…He’s a couple of years older than me, 4 years to be exact. He knows a lot of different songs so he’s a big help. I’ll give you a peak at Monday’s Masterpiece. He’s working on another one of Vincent Van Gogh’s first paintings. I keep calling it, “The Potato People.” Of course that’s not right it’s the, “Potato Eater’s.” 😉 …

The Potato Eater’s

Well it’s suppose to be a stormy Monday and boy do I hope it goes south or north but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Whatever, it’s January in Chicago so I’m really over it. Blessing blogger’s on your week. Stay safe out there and be well.

Monday’s Masterpiece

Good Monday Morning Blogger’s. Hope all are having a great start to their week, I am. In fact Monday is probably one of my fav’s !!! Always love, love, love the beginning of anything, so many possibilities. It’s fresh, it’s new and that’s always a good thing.

Planner Desk…Isn’t it beautius

Sorry, I digress back to Monday’s Masterpiece. I’m really loving this one for a couple of reasons. First would be it is my 3rd Son and always love pictures/painting of my kiddo’s. Second, it’s Ballet and anything that has to do with that well that says it all. The Artist i.e. husband has really out done himself this time <3 Drumroll please…..

Masterpiece Monday

Just start…I suppose that is just what to do. Learning might look different for awhile, but it will get easier 😉 I hope. If you know me at all, I love font’s and color buttons. It just seems like it’s more original than just straight vanilla all the time. I think it’ll be more fun but at the same time maybe a bit wonky !!! I’m sure you know what I mean.

I’ve also been a bit distracted as one of our dog’s, Bella is not doing so well and that has been taking up a lot of my time. I know what’s ahead and I’m trying to make her as comfortable as possible. I’m her human and she can tell whenever I’m upset and that is not good for her so I have to play it very cool, which is not easy to do. She has been a great loyal friend to me for a very long time and I really love her.

My Sweet, Sweet Bella
Hanging outside with dad…

She’s hanging in their for now, we are just going take it one day at a time for now. The husband, my artist has been painting over the weekend and he finally finished the painting. Here is the finished product and I think he did a beautius job on it !!!

Phillipe

I think it turned out really nice. Happy Monday, Blessings Bloggers

Stream of Conciousness Saturday

OLD/NEW That is the prompt for today. Seems appropriate as I am trying to re-set my OLD blog. I did other things this past summer so my OLD blog went away. Now that we are heading into a NEW season, Fall, I want to start a NEW Blog but I’m finding it a bit challenging. When I left, things were a lot different on the OLD WordPress. Now everything seems different so setting up my NEW blog is going to be a challenge. The OLD WordPress was easier but maybe that’s okay. I’m always up for learning NEW things. NEW challenges are good and I don’t feel so OLD. I was very happy to see many of my OLD blogging buddies still around. OLD friends are the best friends. I’ll be working on my NEW Blog and I hope it doesn’t get too wonky. Should be fun. I’m still the Planner Girl and having so much fun with that. I’m also still the painterswife and he has been getting a lot of new painting’s done as he has been home with me since March 13th OMG. This is his latest painting

Will this ever end…Thank you for staying with me on this blogging journey. I’ll be posting the Artist’s paintings and my planner escapades. Life is good. Blessings Bloggers <3 . I forgot I’m suppose to tag and post this so I better get to it…
