This and That

A knitted bird.   This has to be a very difficult project.  I have trouble getting across a row with a knit one purl one. 

I always thought Jimmy Carter got a bad rap due to an impossible situation .   Each President has to live with the role he played.    

Time will tell.....cold war again?  Nah . . . bigger and better ideas . . . but the ice cap is melting so maybe we don't have much to worry about.

It is Thursday already, another fast week going by and the weather cannot make up its mind whether to allow Spring into our lives.    The trees and flowers say yes, the low clouds and wind say no;  the indifference of spring;  isn't it something?    Pat and I had a movie day yesterday.   She has a copy of "Saving Mr. Banks" and if you have not seen it, be sure to add it to your list of 'must see' as it is wonderful and Emma Thompson should have won an Oscar for her performance.    We had a Subway veggie sandwich to enjoy as we watched and I do not understand how anyone could put mustard in a veggie sandwich.  What a way to spoil a good thing.  I ate it anyway, can't waste food and I still remember being reminded of the starving children of China, I bet that old adage has changed to the children of the world.   I made a bread pudding out of stale bread and used honey instead of sugar and it came out pretty good.  All I did was add some luscious strawberries and a bit of yogurt and had a tasty dish for my supper last night.   Try it, you may find you like it.  

For those of you who are puzzle fans, the puzzle is coming along....slowly, a piece or two in a day.   I have lots of little pieces put together in clumps and am looking for the right spot to attach them.   It is a slow process but frustrating.   Pat and Marcia come in, take one look, back away and say 'put it back in the box' and get a fun one';   they have no patience.

So develop patience as it comes in handy in keeping your mind safe and alert.   The dictionary says that patience is a capacity of endurance.    A tolerance of something or somebody over a period of time, generally without complaint though not necessarily without annoyance.  So learn the art of patience as you endure some of the trials and tribulations in life . . . even , or should I say, in the playtime of life. Now, I understand a bit more about the meaning of  the word puzzle . . . it is meant to teach you patience.  

Enjoy the day, be alert, be alive and don't forget tears brings on an ugly puss while a smile lights up your world.    So go lighten the load for those you love and throw in a hug or two.    Hugs to all.
