Look On The Bright Side

It's a rainy morning!

               Dark and dreary!

                                 Time to think of more pleasant, happy things
                                                                           and hop over to join Random Five Friday

#1. The leaves are falling but no color yet. Guess it's too early so I have to wait! I don't do well with
       waiting!!


#2. The squirrels know that winter is coming. These two took a break from their nut gathering to have a play date. Les and I enjoyed watching them cavorting about on the tree trunk. Look at these two posing like some dad gum models!!


#3. Nothing better than playing on the floor with a great-grandson. I've not been on the floor (without falling) since my knees were done back in 2003 and 04. You just have a different perspective when you are down at that level... D. and I had fun making trains out of the little blocks and chasing them around on the rug. But, boy I could feel it this morning when I crawled out of bed! He he


#4. I hung a sign out by my back entry. A bit early for Thanksgiving but it was 'fallish' looking so why not. I say 'if you want to do it..... then do it. Life is too short to hold back on anything that makes life fun!'


#5. I spent a very exciting day yesterday. Well, exciting for me. I am nearly 80 and I try very hard to keep up with all this technology stuff (my grandkids think I rock) but sometimes the tech stuff is outdated before I find out about it or then try it. Yesterday was a TECH day for me! I downloaded Amazon Cloud Drive so that I could pull my pictures over onto my Kindle. I just thought it would be cool to be able to show people my pictures when I am out and about. And, in that train of thought... Tech thought, that is.... I posted my very first ebay sale item on that site. I doubt if it sells but hey, I know how now!!

 Gee, I hate to leave all you good people but I think I should start my day... all that yuck stuff.. like making my bed, cleaning up the kitchen from my breakfast meal... I'd rather stay with you. But, hey, I'll be back...

You all stay dry (if it's raining where you are), stay warm (if it's cold where you are) and stay cool if you are down south. Love and many hugs........

  11. I had to look at that photo of the squirrels twice to make sure I wasn't seeing double -- perfect mirror images -- amazing!

  13. I agree, Latane: "you rock"!
    I don't know anything about Cloud or Kindles, and although I've bought plenty of things on e-bay, I've never placed anything for sale on there.!
    You go, girl!

  15. Your youthfulness inspires me, Latane. Except for the squirrels' tails, I would have thought the photograph was a mirror image. Love your blog and I'm following you so I can continue to be inspired. Thanks, Nancy
