Descendants of Royalty

2 Comments

Bradley Cooper, IMG_7674

is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He definitely is a descendant of royalty, he definitely thinks he is.

So, I tell my neighbor, Laura the truth, I too am a descendant of royalty. Many centuries ago , my great, great great grandfather lived in the Alsace-Lorraine area, he was a King, with a kingdom. He fell in love with a maid. He sent her to America and then he followed.

My grandmother told me this, no facts, just a love story. I knew it was true.

My saying has always been, “Be Sweet and Kind and always have something nice to say to your inferiors.”  (wink wink)

The Whoopee Cushion Crisis

2 Comments

My neighbor’s daughter, Abby got a whoopee cushion yesterday and the fun started like crazy! images under her mother’s chair….always a laugh.

This morning she put it under a cushion and kept asking me to sit down. I picked up the cushion and saw it. I messed up the fun but that was not where the crisis began.

Abby blew up the cushion, put it on the sofa and put a cushion over it and then sat on it. No fart, no fart, it blew up. There was a large bang then she picked up the cushion and we saw the hole in the whoopee cushion. Then the waterworks began. The end of the world, the loss of a best friend all the same degree as a ruined whoopee cushion. This is the description of the world of a 7 1/2 year old girl.

I told her I would get a new one, kind of a mistake. They purchased the whoopee cushion from Richard’s Variety Store (there is a whole blog on this store and it is all good) Now, Richard’s Variety store is in the same shopping area as Trader Joe’s, this grocery store is always in an area with horrible parking. Every single Trader Joe’s has horrible parking. So, after 15 minutes driving around the parking lot with no luck, and people’s tempers were wearing thin. I had a plan. I went across the street to La Hacienda and had lunch and I asked if it would be okay to leave my car while I ran across the street. Problem solved!

Went to Richard’s and scored a new replaced whoopee cushion!

It will all be okay

6 Comments

If you are like me this election year enough is enough. I was worried sick about either candidate winning. I am not a fan of either. I was afraid of our future.

The truth is it will all be okay. I feel this in my heart.

We need to reach out to each other and help each other with kindness and love. Yes, we should be doing this anyway but now more than ever let’s all reach into our hearts and help everyone!

Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents went through much worse times and they sacrificed and scraped and suffered and loss. We can do this but we have to do it together.

The truth is this, the time we have on this earth goes by in a flash, shouldn’t we make it a good time? a great time? Don’t you feel better when you help someone? Let’s do this then!

Let’s make this election not about the candidates but about us helping each other! Let’s make a difference.
