The rain we desperately needed.
Good friends, known and unknown.
The writing group bonding thru luncheon meetings during the summer…

Being able to stay in my own home hopefully for many more years.
My children and grandchildren.
Being able to see and appreciate the beauty of the flowers and plants this year.
Being thought of as a support person for sharing, venting and asking for prayers during crisis….Much sadness and ill health in others families at this time…thankful for modern medicine for possible help in relief of symptoms.
It takes three workers to make a 3 inch green line of paint beside my driveway. Hmmm.

Memory note:
Today’s paving of the street in front of my house was much more orderly than one in back in the day…
many years past, but sticks firmly in the book of memories…
every year the street would have the crosswalk in front of the house painted,
just as school let out and then again the week before Labor Day.
One year, the crosswalk was painted in the spring
and I felt good that the kids could cross over to the playground, basketball courts safely for the summer.
(Drivers seemed more courteous back then, actually stopping for people waiting to use a crosswalk.☺.)
Then the NEXT DAY I heard what sounded to be a big truck in front of my house,
looked out and they were PAVING over the crosswalk painted the day before.
OF course, they had to come back and repaint the cross walk that had just been painted and then paved over !
Lack of communication…
Sigh. My tax dollars at work !
Beside the Somesville Library…always inspiring.
