  Happy Friday I hope that your day is starting off nicely.  All is good at my house - just enjoying a quiet morning watching my kitty play with her newest toy - The Christmas Tree!  Yep, she thinks I put it up just for her. Did you have a good week?  This is how I spent my week - baking all my favorite Christmas cookies!  YUM!  Do you have a favorite cookie that just screams Christmas?  For me it these - peanut blossoms - and spritz. The ones my mom always made when I was a little girl.  it just isn't quite Christmas until I've had my cookies :) Enjoy the quotes and I'll see you next Friday with some new ones. ...geri   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybod...

  Happy Friday and Happy Thanksgiving!   I hope this finds your morning starting off swell.  It is chilly here at my house - our third straight day in a row to wake to frost.  But the frosty mornings have been followed by tons of sunshine - which for us is a total treat!!!! Since next Friday is Thanksgiving weekend I won't be sharing any quotes like normal.   So I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will see you in two weeks with new quotes. ...geri   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough. ~Joe E.

      Happy Friday!    I hope that your week is ending nicely!   All is good here in the Pacific Northwest - just wet and blustery like normal for this time of year.   It is starting to feel more winter like now than fall like.   The "s" word has even already cropped up in the mountains!!  Here is to hoping we get some white stuff in the lowlands this year.

        Happy Friday!    I hope this finds you have a nice start to your morning.  We have had a very foggy week 'round these parts.  The sun has broken through a few times, but mostly we are just socked in!  Here is hoping for the sun to burn through later today!! I will be taking some time off next week, so I won't be here with quotes on Friday like normal.  So enjoy this weeks selection and I'll see you in two weeks. ...geri   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   When you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder one.           ~W.

    Happy Friday! Yep if I am here with quotes you know it must be Friday :)   Do you have any big weekend plans? So far it looks to be quiet on my end. But LOL the last three weeks I thought that on Friday afternoon and then ended up working - so who knows if my phone will ring and hi ho, hi ho, off to work I will go.... Or if I will get a nice quiet day at home :)   Whatever you do this weekend I hope it is splendid! And they say it will be sunny!! Here is hoping so!

  Before the temps get too cold it is a good time to take advantage of these last few Indian Summer days and prepare your home for winter.  Here are some ideas of things to check to prepare for the colder months... - Inspect your roof and replace any damaged or missing shingles. - Make sure gutters and downspouts are free of leaves and debris. - Consider a fresh coat of paint or sealer on your deck. - On a windy day, close your windows and then feel for any air leaks and then seal them. - Turn off any outdoor faucets or in-ground sprinkler systems and drain them.  - Insulate any exposed plumbing.  - If you have an A/C unit remove leaves or debris from the outside unit and cover for the winter. - Have your chimney cleaned and inspected. - Have your furnace cleaned and inspected.

    Happy Fall!   And it certaily feels like FALL 'round these parts!  Or maybe more like winter with all the rain we have been getting.  Typically we don't see totals like this until November or December.  September went down as the wettest September on record.  And so far October is looking to be about the same.  Although they say SUN for today, so here is hoping!!   Enjoy this weeks selection of quotes and I will see you next Friday with some more.  Enjoy! ....geri   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   If you wait, all that happens is you get older. ~Larrty McMurty     Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death. ~Earl Wilson     I like the dreams of the future better than the history...

      Happy Friday!!!  I hope this finds you doing well.   All is good with me - just trying to adjust to the fact that summer has left!  And oh how quickly that happened!  The rains this month are well above average and we have had some really cool temps too.   Definitely not feeling summer like anymore.  Bye, bye flip flops!  :( My nephew texted me the other day that he heard they have had snow at Paradise at Mt. Rainier.  Oh my...  Snow in September!  I wonder what kind of winter we will have...

    Happy Friday!     I hope this finds your morning starting off nicely.  All is good in my corner of the world, although it certainly feels very fall like out there.  It is very chilly and they say it will be damp by the end of the day.  Yesterday was sunny and mid 70's...  just perfect!  But I fear that might have been the end of summer for us.  But what a summer it has been!!  Enjoy this weeks selection of quotes and I will see you next Friday with some new ones. ...geri   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no one luckier than he who thinks himself so.    ~German Proverb Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the mastery of it.  ~Mark Twain Bad habits are like a comfortable bed...  Easy to get into but hard to ge...
