Plans?

Parades, beach scenes, picnics, barbecues, family games and sports, etc. and lest us not forget why we have these three days...



"Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer."

Holidays... so many of us forget the true meanings to pass on to our children and the whys, they, the special days that many children only know as another day off from school, but why is that?
They should be told. From Labor Day to religious holidays for each family's personal realms, to national reasoning's etc. we have such easy access to know and so do they!

Is there a time more available for a learning moment than each time our children find themselves home with their parents?

Any-who, that's just my opinion and you all know how much that is worth!

Moving on...

Today I planted my key lime seeds, yes that tiny lime gift jewel gave me six!
It is currently in a clay pot with well fertilized potting soil, compost and a topper of coffee grounds, sitting in the sun in the sun-room. The directions called for acid soil and whenever the instructions tell us that I add the coffee grounds and they have been marvelous for our gardenia trees that are both abundant with blossoms a few times a year! And over the many years, ten, for the one in the front yard that I planted to take the place of our forty foot oak tree that Hurricane Charley took down. Our backyard one was here and overgrown, when we bought our home nearly sixteen years ago. We have contained it on the edge of the fish pond, since eleven years ago that we installed.
There is nothing as sweet as the aroma of gardenia; I love it so much, a few years back, I found that Jovan made a cologne in the scent and it has been mine ever since. I suppose it's my signature scent if I was better known in a good way, not famous or notorious just a local flavor/aroma, ha, kidding of course. But many women have that "Scent of a Woman", going for them, hmm?
I never wanted fame, and I am more than sure this has not created that for me.


Another thought...
If you have been imbibing please call Tow To Go a safe free service that helps people unable to drive due to a bit too much of the spirits! http://autoclubsouth.aaa.com/safety/tow_to_go.aspx

Tonight's blog was another thoughtful mishmash of things that came to mind.
I have been managing very little movement, although I do know that I must try to keep my circulation going without causing issues.
Again I found another wee mistake in the blood work that was taken, my white count and alt were higher than usual, in the normal range, but according to what I was able to glean, left to my own devices, without medical professional assistance that the Gabapentin has an effect on both and due to my medical need for it and it being the lesser of so many other evils, from narcotics to opiates, I shall continue with it for now. 

That's it for now and please all have a safe, fun weekend and don't forget the why, and allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
