I should choose to be an angel . . .


On the back porch, swinging away and absolutely enjoying life at this moment, I think I should choose to be an angel in the hereafter. I believe that Higgs Boson would allow me that privilege. I’m not even close to perfection; as a matter of fact that might not be much fun! Life is to be learned as you grow. Not sure how long I shall be growing but I hope when the time comes I will be ready to speak with the Chief Architect of this small world and convince Him that I am ready for the new journey to earn my wings! I figure that Higgs Boson has much to do as He may be daring enough to try to make another world and He will certainly need some help in getting it right or at least a bit better than our Earth World. The Earth is a true marvel in all aspects: rivers, mountains,  solar system,  Milky Way, jungles, deserts, oceans, lakes, seasons, stars, all creatures great and small, flowers, trees, fields and intelligent beings that have the capacity for so much good yet often choose evil. Perhaps with the help of those who have left this Earth to join the Lord of All as He attempts to create another world where human beings will still have free choice but angels will be allowed to guide them to choose love, honor, respect, honesty, kindness, knowledge, labor, pleasure and yet  retain their individuality and allow for differences of every kind in the New World without recourse to physical or mental force against others which creates chaos, this New World would be pretty close to perfection (there is no perfection) but pretty close. Life would be a series of endeavors at enjoyment, companionship, intrigue, work, discernment, love, commitment, learning, beauty, sharing, laughter and of course a superior Harvey’s Bristol Cream to keep the new world mellow! Ah, there it is. All figured out! I do love you so, my Higgs Boson and my Loves. Being an angel, though I couldn't be perfect, comme Maman disait, 'Old stick in the mud, we wouldn’t want more than one Irène, or David, or Pauline or Rose or Joe!' and since Little Louise is already an angel, I will be in luck as she’s been helping the Lord of All to get that New World in proper order until the rest of us get there to help out, that is, if we should choose to be angels!

Super miserable weather . . .

Northern  Mockingbird
I think it has been raining for about 14 hours and it is still coming down. The lower lawn looks like a small pond! I suppose I should have taken my potted plants onto the porch but they are so soaked right now I’ll just hope they survive. Perhaps we’ll get some drying out tomorrow although the forecast doesn’t bode well for any sunshine. I helped out at the Early Learning Center today and I was impressed with the lady who was subbing for the regular teacher. Since the kiddos couldn’t go out and play she set up three different play areas in the classroom and assigned 3 children to each play area. After 10minutes she shifted them to different play areas and sometimes changed the kiddos in the various groups. It worked out very well. Some of the little ones wanted to change places or go to a different area than the one assigned but she was firm and they complied! Cool beansies!

It was the last day of work for one of the teachers and the administration bought lunch for all and sundry. My goodness, I ate much too much for lunch. I had chosen Chicken Fajitas and they came with absolutely everything possible including extra corn chips, salsa and whatever else can be imagined! I ate all of the chicken, vegetables and sauces but gave the lady I was working with everything else to take home for her kids. I don’t feel like cooking supper tonight but P&D’s Pop must eat so I guess I’ll have to start cooking soon. I should never eat a big lunch. It makes me lazy!

Neighborhood impressions . . .

Snapdragon
Decided I needed to walk the circle last evening. It's amazing how beautiful and calm our neighborhood is. Yesterday morning as I was out for my regular exercise one of our neighbors called to me and wanted me to choose a birdhouse out of the many her Uncle had made over the years. It was so thoughtful. They know how much I enjoy the birds and they themselves have many bird houses on their property. I think we must be feeding the neighborhood with all of our feeders! As I was roaming around I saw a lost Canada Goose. He was flying overhead and honking. I think he must have been looking for his compatriots as he flew by at least three times in widening circles. I don't think I would normally feel sorry for a Canada Goose as they are dirty birds as far as I am concerned but I did feel badly as I've never seen a lone goose crying. I hope he's found his family and friends!

Today we ended up at James's Grill for breakfast and it was an eye opener! The restaurant has been sold and one of the new owners was sitting at a back table.  They have already cleaned up a lot of the junk that had been displayed on the shelves for years and there were no prices listed for the meals! P&D's Pop knew what was coming next when he went to pay. It cost him a whopping $1 more than usual. I have no idea if they will be able to keep the prices as low as they are.  Even paying the extra $1 is cheap.  He always has 2 eggs, grits, grilled sausage and a huge biscuit while I have a large pancake with one fried egg on top along with 2 coffees and refills for about $12. The waitress who usually waited on us came to tell us that she is now the manager and is finding it hard to not wait on everyone.  Rony has been there 16 years!  What's cool is that the cook was the one I like who makes my pancake with crispy edges! It'll be interesting to see the changes as they go along. It's a very old dilapidated building so any improvements will be great.

In the mood to complain about my new glasses which I'll be returning and also to complain about the stand in for my poor sick Cardiologist but in stead I'll just go and listen to my Audible.  That always puts me in a good mood.

Disgruntled I am . . .

Beautiful, beautiful Finches!
That is all for now. I'm disgruntled with Facebook but it's just me finding it boring and also allowing it to waste my time. Not sure if I will be able to control my urge to see how my friends are doing though! So who knows? I might be back there tomorrow!  What a farce am I creating! And to all a Good Night!
