IF There is Doubt, Don't do it.


Terry and I were collapsed on the couch yesterday around four and Oprah was on when we switched on the tv to veg out to fresh baked Tilapia, summer squash, sweet potato fries, and a big salad. (Oh also a bowl of fresh cut up strawberries, apples and grapes)  We both worked hard all day... up till eight last night. I was washing sheets and preparing the guest room for the RETURN OF LADY L and her parents.  How cool is that?

She is a right handed painter and loves painting with me in the studio.




It was a rerun on Oprah from her trip down under to Australia and we enjoyed everything we saw on the journey.  Russell Crow had Oprah out on a sailboat and she asked him if the Oscar had changed his life.  He said it really did not as he did his job every day... just like anyone does and the Academy Awards truly had nothing to do with his job.  He told Oprah that she had affected his life dramatically and he always remembered her words, "If there is doubt, don't do it." Russell Crow applies this in his life even today.  Using that inner voice that you ALWAYS hear when it tells you to do or not to do.


So I am sharing that with you today...if you are like me sometimes you get carried away with following others or following a dream you have that you need to do something.  Deep inside there is something nagging you but you ignore it. You want to control your life and you go in the direction you think is best despite that inner voice.


Listen... God is talking.. He is that inner voice.

A SENSE OF HUMOR


I know I have talked about God's sense of humor in the past.  Make a plan and He is chuckling in heaven.


With Lady L here we have to maintain a sense of humor.  I laughed till I cried when I walked out to find her doing her Oreo Cookie dippings and decorating her Miss Piggy book with her new Cinnamon Cheerios.  Catch the cheerio on the eye!




 This precious two year old keeps us hopping.  Terry ask me last night, "How many grandparents does it take to change the diaper on a two year old?"  We both sat and figured out probably three to four.  That little miss has strong legs and if you just pull her out of warm bath that she does NOT want to be out of, she throws a royal fit. Other than that she is pretty good about eating and sleeping.


I remarked to my music student's mother today that it seems like our schedule was get up, eat, tornado through the house for three hours, eat again...sleep again, repeat the tornado action and then eat dinner get a bath and go back to bed.  Yesterday afternoon she had my hand and she was walking me in circles around the living room. After fifteen minutes I ask her where we were going... she looked up and giggled at me... "to Oma's house." DUH, why didn't I think about that? 


Sense of humor... something we all need to keep our heads straight and our hearts in the right place.

THE TEXAS TWISTER

By most standards the Texas Twister would be one of those huge tornadoes bearing down from west Texas into Central Texas....OR it could be Lady L in her "twister" mode.  That can be defined two ways... one by the disaster left as she plays from room to room... to that tiny twist of hair on her fingers when she is so tired she cannot see straight.

We have put a few miles on the little red wagon already and her favorite thing in the house is the baby grand piano.  She stays "STUCK" to that most of the day.  "STUCK" is her favorite word, no wait, second favorite. Her favorite is NO NO NO.

When she is in her car seat or you are holding her and do not want to put her down she is decisively STUCK and lets you know it.   She had forgotten we had birds.. Max and Gracie... and she calls them BORRR YDS... like a northern Yankee.  Makes Terry and I chuckle to hear her stringing the words together.

Short blogs and long days from the Golden Pond. Before I forget. We have huge bees buzzing the house. BIG black bees with yellow on their backs.  Any ideas how to lure them away from the house?  Makes it hard to go outside with Lady L.
