Hi friends - I am typing this blog left handed so I will earn more money, thanks Chalmer... Today was a cloudy dreary day....made more cheerful by the laundry I did... and the errands I ran... but since I wanted to accomplish something, I picked tomatoes, raspberries, and peppers and made scones..................... here they are:

The scones are not finished, I have to let them cool before I drizzle the icing on them - this always makes me smile because I get to use the sifter my daughter bought me......... I miss my kids, today is the birthday of one of my granddaughters, she will be 5 and her name is Maddie - Happy Birthday Maddie............... she lives far away and I will not get to see her, but I will call her in about an hour EDT. All my kids and grandkids live far away and I do not get to see them very often....

That is what is supposed to happen in life, one of my favorite poet/philosopher Kahlil Gibran, he is from Lebanon, wrote that parents are archers and children are arrows and it is our job to launch them on a straight and true path not keep them in the quiver forever - God willing their paths are straight and true.... Gibran lived from 1883-1931 - I enjoy is writings...... here is a self portrait.......

I wish my mind had thoughts like his -

God bless you, and remember, take good care of yourself - cheers, john
