It's so hot here right now - 105 degree heat index today. I'm ever so thankful for AC. I love the one about working on things people can't take away. Annies song was always a favorite!
Linda, querida, é sempre muito bom, vir aqui em seu espaço! As citações sempre muito bonitas e proveitosas, os vídeos, todos me divertiram, principalmente o cachorrinho andando de skate! Como pode? Os animais são inteligentes, sem dúvida. Aquela casa lá em cima, com verdes... achei fantástica! Postagem maravilhosa! Uma feliz semana pra você! Aqui estamos no inverno, muito frio e chuva... Bjins, amiga. 🌹💜🌻🙋♀️
Oh, I feel sorry for those who cannot enjoy the heat, dear friend Linda. My best friend has rheumatism and ohhh, she has a hard time. Yes, delay is a good idea. And I hate darn anxiety... And get a lesson for sure right now, being still on hold, work-wise. Oh, my skateboard-days are over! Do you know Peggy and Molly? I sure do love Magpies, I miss them! Have a great Wednesday (yes awake in the middle of the night here, argh!) - much love and hugs to you!
Dear Linda, these are such uplifting quotes for my daily life—I can really use them. Thank you! You’ve photographed such beautiful blossoms!!! Your videos are great, too! Wishing you happy days—hugs, Elke
