This is me. Whenever people ask, I always say I lead a charmed life. I do. Has everything been perfect and turned out exactly as I would have wanted or planned. No, but it has turned out exactly as it was meant to be.
Han posted yesterday about the house he lived in and it made me remember a picture my brother sent me recently. It was very nostalgic because the house we grew up in hadn't changed much and I felt as if I walked in I would see my mom and dad sitting there with their ever present cup of coffee. It would have been perfect for Throwback Thursday but I couldn't seem to get the picture from my phone to my email. Oh well.
Beautiful week here weatherwise. Warm sunny days and cool nights. I think we're in our last week of Texas. The current plan is leave a week from today. We'll see.
Still no dancing but lots of rambling. See you later and have a great weekend.
Thank you for sharing that saying Sunny...one of my favorites! Happy to hear everything is going well for you. I'm assuming (I know dangerous) that Ray has healed if you two are planning on leaving Texas? You heading up to see the grands? Have a great weekend.

First to AZ and the kids will be there for Thanksgiving and then the plan is to head to CA in December be there for the holidays with the kids. God willing, of course.
DeleteLovely post Sunny snd I love the quote! I don't have to go too far out of my way to drive past the house we grew up in. In has changed a bit on the outside. Weather for us has turned wet and windy, just in time for the weekend. Sigh.

Thanks Roz. Hope the weather is better than forecast.
DeleteLovely post Sunny.
ReplyDeleteI live far from the house I grew up in. It''s still there but has changed. Happy memories.
Hope Ray has healed.
Enjoy the weekend.
Love,
Ronnie

Ray has healed.
DeleteIt still looks peaceful and a nice place to grow up. Can't beat that for about 50+ years.
Enjoy your wedding this weekend and then your warmer climes.
Hi Sunny nice post, glad you are content with life. I lived in lots of houses as a child, my parents were never happy where we were. I don't actually remember many with fondness and am so much more content with my own family in my own little home
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
That was the longest I ever lived anywhere. Since then I've been a gypsy.
DeleteGlad you are content now.
It makes me happy that you're happy. I pass the house I grew up in every day - it will always be 'my' house and I can so picture mom and dad in there. I wish happy travelings for you next week.
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet PK. Thanks for the good wishes.
DeleteI love that poster...and it is very true. Whenever I get back to Maine I make it a point to drive by the house i grew up in.....it is much the same from what i can see as are the others on the street.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!

My brother said it's the same in our old neighborhood, he said he actually thought one of our old neighbors kids still live across the street. It was a good place to grow up.
DeleteA good saying to always remember! Glad to hear Ray is getting over his problems and that you will shortly be moving onwards once again.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in several houses, but our kids say they feel very strange to think we are selling THEIR family home. Still, change is a good thing, I keep telling myself.

None of us even live in that state anymore, so we all left including my folks when my last brother was married. It's the memories seeing the house brought back, not the house that made me nostalgic.
DeleteIt is wonderful to be content, Leigh so few people are. Forget the rainy days and hold on the sunny ones. You really are a Sunny Girl.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how the travelling is going. You know we Dutch think 50 miles is quite a distance don't you. Ienie Meanie Country. Below the Sea Level as well. Still, I'm content as well.
Have a sunny day,
Han
I think with age comes wisdom Han.
DeleteI will post about the blog, 50 mi. is a walk in the park. The place doesn't provide contentment, the heart and head do.
