Some Things To Work On...
Come on in and bring your coffee. Let's have a little chat... I've decided that I have a few things to work on with my blogging. I need more pictures and graphics. I've neglected to do that lately. I will work on it. Hopefully, this fall I can get back into full swing and share some things that my readers will like. Always, feel free to drop me a note and let me know what you think and what you would like for me to share.
My Birthday...
Today is my birthday. I do wonder how the years have gone by so fast. I have been so blessed with my wonderful family. It is such a blessing to still have my parents, my husband, six children and sons & daughters-in-law, fourteen grandchildren and one great grandchild. Now you know the rest of the story... I'm not very young, but I'm young at heart!

Keep On Blogging...
It has been 3 yrs. since I started blogging. I didn't know a lot about blogging or how it should be done, but I made the launch and I'm still plugging away at it. I've learned so much, but then again, things have changed so much. It isn't always easy to find interesting things to say that people will want to read. I do have the encouragement of my readers to go on.
So, I'm saying Happy Birthday to Coffee With Connie and keep on blogging!

Guidelines for Today's Living...
Guidelines For Today’s Living
By Robert Louis Stevenson
- Make the best of circumstances. No one has everything , and everyone has something of sorrow.
- Don’t take yourself too seriously.
- Don’t let criticism worry you… you can’t please everybody.
- Don’t let your neighbors set your standards… be yourself.
- Do things you enjoy doing… but stay out of debt.
- Don’t borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
- Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges.
- Have many interests… if you can’t travel, read about places.
- Don’t hold post-mortems or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
- Don’t be the one who never gets over things.
- Keep busy at something… a very busy person never has time to be unhappy.
This list was written by Robert Louis Stevenson over 100 years ago and is still so relevant today. Something to think about as we start a new week.
Have a great week!
April Showers Bring May Flowers...
Don't you just love the old saying April showers brings May flowers... mostly because it is true.
I just love Spring and it's new life, color and beauty. New flowers, new baby birds and animals and beautiful green grass. Spring brings new life to the nature around us.

Sit back and Enjoy A Nice Cup of Hot Coffee...
I thought that you might enjoy a little humor with your coffee. These are found at Laughlines on the World Net Daily web site. I always enjoy a little laugh esp. when ill. Enjoy!
Golden Years Humor
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again." The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly." The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?" The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one red and has thorns." "Do you mean a rose?" "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"<><><><><><><>
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman--already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet--who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."
What a Tiny Car... What A Good Price!
Wow... have you seen the new tiny car that has been built in India and such a good price ($1,979). They are encouraging motorcyle riders to buy one. Sounds good... probably a little safer than a cycle... at least you can't fall off. It goes 70 mph., of course, on US highways at 65 mph, you would wonder if it could keep up the constant 70mph and last a long time. Also, wonder if it would shake or be sound structually. Just questions...
World's Cheapest Car... amazing check... it out!

Check Out This New Site...
Home Interiors & Gifts and Home & Garden Party are now a new company called... Celebrating Home. Products can be ordered from my Celebrating Home site and shipped to a designated address. I really like the online site because everyone can't always go to a party. So, you are invited to shop.
I really like this new company and look forwards to working with them. They have so many great products for the home.
I think that I like the ease of ordering and having things shipped to my home. The high gas prices and the time it takes to shop makes online ordering a lot nicer.

Things Happen, Life Happens...
Things happen and life happens. Different situation arise daily that we must make decisions about. Some things are small and some things are very big or even life threatening. We don't really know how we'll act, but sometimes the way we react to smaller things will make us strong for those things that are almost earth shattering to us. Our guidebook, the Bible, is the greatest guide that we can follow in our life. God's word gives us 10 Commandments in Exodus 20 that cover just about all our temptations. He even has a plan for salvation in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." My thought for today is to study God guidebook and prepare for the future.
You cannot tailor make the situations in life, but you can tailor make the attitudes to fit those situations before they arise.

Breaking News... Punxsutawney Phil Saw His Shadow...Great news... Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning and we should have about six more weeks of winter. Given the way we've had so much snow, we welcome more snow and not rain for the next six weeks.
Like I said in my last post, this is always a fun time in the middle of winter. Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania has had this Groundhog Day tradition since 1887. Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow 97 times since then. They do not have records for nine years and he has not seen his shadow 15 times. It sure makes for a great fun festive time for these folks, I'd love to be there, maybe, someday. Anyway, you folks in Pa can keep on skiing!
It Must Run In The Family ...
My daughter's husband left the garage door up when he left for work. Her neighbor across the street called her, but Beth didn't recognize the number so she didn't answer. The neighbor calls again and she still doesn't answer, so the neighbor calls the police. The next thing my daughter knows the police are banging on the door. It totally scared my grandson who is half dressed and had his shirt off, but a Santa hat on and Beth is still in her pj's because she is nursing her baby and hasn't actually got her day off to a start.
The police knock so loud that it scares Isaiah and he starts screaming from the top of his lungs. Beth goes to the door to see what's the matter and the police ask her if she is o.k. She's embarrassed, but glad the neighbor cares. She programed her number in the phone so that it will pop up when she calls - so the lady can check on her and she'll answer.
We laughed about it when she called me. What else can you do?
I had a similar experience a few month's ago. I have the habit of leaving my pajamas on and cleaning before taking my bath. Sometimes, it is up into the morning before I bath. Especially, if I am going to be leaving for the day. One morning, I got a loud bang on my front door. I was shocked to see that it was two sheriff detectives who were asking questions about someone that had lived in the neighborhood. Hopefully, from experience, they know that everyone doesn't keep the same schedule.
Maybe the old saying,... that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, applies!

An Old Saying...
An old saying that I just love is, "Wake up and smell the coffee!" I just love 
the smell of a freshly opened can of coffee because it is so rich and strong. Coffee is just a relaxing pleasurable drink. It warms you up when you are cold, it relaxes you at events and it wakes you up in the morning. There's nothing like a good cup of coffee by yourself or with family & friends.

Human Looking Robot
Ingenious Invention, a human looking robot invented by a Canadian named Le Trung. This robot looks like a woman in her 20's. Actually, I think she sounds more like she's in her 30's. She can do tasks, recognized things and talk. It is an amazing invention that could make this guy a multimillionaire if he can market it right.
I know everyone thinks that we are being run out of the market place by technology, but since all workers aren't created equal literally. Because some aren't worth their pay, this could be a great breakthrough. These robots could be used to work for the handicap, el
derly and be a companion for those who are lonely.
I see amazing possibilites for a human looking robot. Safety, by having a robot that can contact authorities if someone is being hurt or robbed, as well as a labor saver. I could sure use help in my garden. Wonder if she can pull weeds, hoe and harvest vegetables?
This is truely a remarkable invention in spite of all the nasty comments this guy is getting from people. Hopefully, we can learn more, and say it isn't what they say, I'm sure someone will make it possible soon.

On A Cheery Note...
Isn't the fall weather great. It is starting to cool down and the leaves are starting to turn. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It has such pretty red, orange, yellow, gold, green and brown colors.
I'm still canning and freezing, but that is winding down also. The garden is quite weedy because I haven't had time to tend to it, but it will be cut down and tilled in pretty soon. And, the crops are starting to be harvested. So, it's fall in full swing.
Remembering The Sundays of Our Youth...
I love remembering the Sundays of our youth. Sunday worship in our best suits and dresses. Ladies with pretty hats and hankies. Men with 3 piece suits and sometimes a hat. We 
all piled in the car and went to Grandma & Grandpa's for Sunday dinner. Picnics, family reunions and Sunday gatherings in the park. Or, just a plain old Sunday nap after a quiet dinner at home.

If we can only get away from today's rush, rush and get back to Sunday basics.
Have a good Sabboth Day and keep it holy.
