~ We Meet Again ....

..... Random 5 Friday!

Gonna do it up a little differently today.

Starting with the bottom ....

 

5.   Yup!  I changed up my blog look ... again!

I wanted to give it a little "Halloween" look.  Did I succeed? 

Don't worry ... it'll change again next month.

To what?  Hhhmmmmm......Not sure.

Why can't I just find something I like and just stick with it? 

 

4.   I am seeing birds around my feeder less and less as the weather

gets cooler and cooler.

I may just keep the feeder out through the winter just in case a fine feathered

friend decides to stop by for a little snack.

 

 

3.  Dear Blogging Friends ...  I want to thank all of you for your wonderful support

during my lost friendship last week.   Wow!

I received so many lovely comments and e-mails.  I was overwhelmed!

Having the door closed on one friendship led me back to a friend

that I had been neglecting for too long.

This friend is there whenever I need a friend.

I can push this friend's buttons and this friend doesn't get upset

and shut me out.   Nope!

This friend lets me make mistakes.  Yup!

 

Say hello to my little friend ....

 

 

2.  My "friend" and I took advantage of a gorgeous day and headed out the door.

I grabbed some props and looked for the perfect spot.

As I put the items down on the ground and was changing the settings on the camera,

I accidentally clicked the button and ....

well....

took this....

... and I did  not notice the visiting Mr.DaddyLongLegs until I looked at the shot on the computer!

I just love it when stuff like that happens!!!

 

1.  This one is for Kelly. 

We've been cyber friends for a few years now.

We've never met in person.  We will......someday.

Kelly has been having a really tough year.  Really tough.

To add to her burden, she just found out her Mother has cancer.

 Please visit Kelly and give her hugs.

 

Dear Kelly,

Saying "I'm sorry" just doesn't seem like enough.

I wish I could do or say more to help you through this difficult time.

I wish I could find Aladdin's Lamp and wish away all of the pain and sorrow

that you are facing.

Know that I am here for you .... always.

Text me anytime.

Call me if you ever want to talk or scream....I'll listen.

And if the pain is too strong ... and you can't talk ... or scream ... but can only cry

then FaceTime me.

I'll put the phone on my shoulder

and let you cry on it

for as long as you need.

xoxoxo

~ Is It Friday ....

.... already?

Where does the time go?

 

 

Dear Week ... what the heck?

 

Dear Summer ... I hope this is really "buh-bye" because your

humidity this week was a deal breaker.  Our relationship is over.

 

Dear Autumn ... bring on your crisp attitude.  I can't wait!!!

 

Dear Blogging Friends ... thank you so much for your input about my blog's look.

As you can see, I did change it up a bit.

Still holding on to the dark background .... don't know why but I just can't let it go!

Learning how to make a blog header was fun.

In fact, I may just change my header up with the seasons .... well, maybe. 

LOL

I still don't know how to grab your buttons to place in my blog!

Why do I always mess that up?? 

 

Dear Birds ... thanks for your constant visits.

I really do enjoy watching you.

 

 

 

And with this one .... I think the bird on the right is saying

"Uh......I don't think there's room for you on here."

LOL

 

 

And now ... for my Random 5 ....

 

1.  I think the older I get that I am becoming slightly OCD....

2.   I say this because I've noticed that I want need to do certain things in

a certain way ...

3.  For example, if I wake up at night and I have to make a potty trip and

it's, let's say 2:11 a.m., I will tell myself that I cannot get up

until it is 2:15 a.m. ....

4.  Maybe that's not being so much OCD as .... what? ... a little wacky?

5.  I will read and re-read this post at least 3 5 times

before I hit the "Publish" button ...

and then I will read it a couple of  few more times

and maybe even edit it the same amount of times

before I let it go!!!

 

Today, I played along with Ashley Slater and Nancy
