Ah....the joys of waking up to a mountain view.  Every morning there is a new creation to look at.  This morning, as I sip my coffee, the mountains are very smoky!!  The blue sky and cumulus puff of cotton lend the mood to be very relaxing.  Soon the hot Southern sun will pierce the horizon and we will be running to tend our bird nests.  We have 2 bird houses with nests being constructed and one bird house (new affixed to our window) where we will be able to view the process of egg to hatchlings!  So cool.

Been trying to arrange some flights up North but the tickets are so high!!  American and Delta fly non-stop to our airport and US Airways even stops at Islip.  August 31st is a definite for my grandson's wedding but the other occasions....I'm not so sure.  I love New York with all my heart, but at this stage of my life (may we call it the autumn of my life) Tennessee fits me well.  Now....if only friends and family would move down.  That would be perfect!!  Right.....as a psychotherapy practice....perfect is definitely not a good word!!!  Leads to anxiety disorders and depression!!  So, let's forget I said that.

Several months ago I fell in love with a painting.  It captures the theme of friendship, support, strength, love and trust.  I was able to buy it this morning!!!  Yay!!! I will try to post a pic and if I can't we will get the talented Robert to do it for me.  Love and God bless.....

Getting started!  Hey...look who has a website.  Do you know how much I love my grandson, Robert.  From the first minute I laid eyes on him, I knew he would be a genius!  I guess all grandparents feel that way but my boy is one as evidenced by building Granny her website!

Today was a stormy day in Eastern Tennessee! The lightening rocketed through the sky and danced over the mountains with all the raw nature and power of the Divine.  The dogs shook and the cats hid.  I took a day for me and had an hour and a half massage at Smoky Mountain Massage in Pigeon Forge, located right across from Dollywood.

Just before arriving at the massage salon, I passed the Big Bear Log Cabin where I frolicked with the Sister's of the Rainbow team 2 years ago.  How time passes and how I miss the sisterhood we shared

It is good to be alive!  Thank you for reading my post!
