Shutterbugmama's Journal

I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.

"The Best of It"....it's what you make it; make "The Best Of It".  OK...I can do that.  AND, I can show pictures to prove it.  (Some call it "Making It Interesting".  I call it the results of having been an only child).  Enjoy the blessings from the week; there's something good in everything.  You'll see.

1. I took my Nana to lunch the other day; she had Liver with Onions.  CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?  I wonder if she thinks it's 1932 again, and she has to eat that crap...

We have options now, Nana.

BUT, while visiting her and watching her ingest some poor farm animals organ tissue, I did get this nice picture of the flowers that are growing outside the restaurant.

Lovely, yes?  Worth the time I spent...witnessing what I witnessed.

: l

(Why isn't there a serious faced sweet pea?)

2.  The other day, I went to a certain HUMONGOUS bank to cash a check.  They couldn't cash the check.

They had to verify funds...from an EMPLOYER..a payroll -

Anyhoo, when I left, defeated and bummed that I had to wait to have my money, I FELL out of the bank, kinda of...

  I tripped on something, and stumbled out the door about as gracefully as a Chimp, as I tried not to spill the contents of my purse, when I noticed it...

It's going to be OK, Sisters.  I SWEAR it.

I promise.

.

Had I not

left the bank

in Monkey Fashion...

I might have missed the small reminder,

That love is STILL the answer.

.

.

Heart shaped gum on the ground. 

(I think I should write the bank...it's all gonna be OK, and here is my proof...there is love on their steps, and I, (a SAD customer who was BUMMED about your new policies during your broke times), FELL into..

k, I'll stop.

(But if I do send this to the newly RICH CEO's, I'll be sure to crop my toes out...).

3. Andrew didnt do his chore.  I CHECKED...there's still dog poop on the ground out back. 

BUT, if he'd been a trust worthy child with this chore, I'd have MISSED IT!

See this wall?

These will ALL be roses soon...

(Please pay no attention to the dog poop...)

But ALL the foliage on the fence here will be FILLED with tiny roses-

I've been so looking forward to it, and then I saw the first signs of Spring..right there.

IM SO GLAD HE MISSED SOME POOP!

(Well, you know..this time).

They're BEAUTIFUL; and right on time.  I needed flowers today.

I cant WAIT to see them ALL come in.  (Im getting greedy, now).

4. Aiden took apart his new calendar I bought for him.

Which turned into A FUN, CHEAP, and EASY way to decorate his wall!

Way to go, man!

: l

5. And for mail...

I'll have to post a picture of him tomorrow.

TOO much...LMAO...

As soon as I'm not mad at him anymore, I'll show him to you...you just wont believe what came in the mail.

Life is full of surprises, when you least expect it, just at the right time, and always without fail.  It's not by chance, and you are not a victim of circumstance. 

It's YOUR experience, created JUST for you; make "The Best Of It".
