Live my life by the Desiderata, Golden Rule and gratitude. Believe Good is stronger than Evil & that the Arts remind us of that. Life’s too short: eat chocolate!

Wait….
Does that mean I’m a human algorithm? Cool…

As you know, any day we can say “good morning” is already a good morning!🌞

It’s so pretty! And apple anything is automatically “Yum!“

Nah…just habit.

My side hustle for 30 years.

So much fun and they’ve sharpened my eye for detail. 4-6 hours and done. I don’t have time, patience or space for anything more!😄🤷‍♀️

I’ve love-loved puzzles since childhood! They’re interesting challenges but I can’t sleep if they’re not done!
I figured out that as much fun they are, to me they’re also problems I need to fix. (Honestly, I was like that as a boss, too. Fix the problem first, then I can sleep!) 🦸🏻‍♀️

Good morning, my friend! Didja ever have a too-busy day? Recorded 2 commercials for a NYC station, ran 7 errands in the rain, made an apple crisp & dinner, and finally quiet time as I began & finished a 1,000 pc #puzzle. Nope, 999. 1 pc missing😢. Still a lovely day.

The balloons are in the clouds above snow-covered mountains. None of the human figures are wearing coats.🤷‍♀️

Started and finished new puzzle yesterday. Do you see where one missing piece is supposed to go?

Close-up of area with missing piece.
I looked all around for it.
I swear I looked.

It’s not all fun and cookies, Marcia! Sometimes, when I harvest the backyard garden, I place bags of zucchinis, peppers and tomatoes at my neighbors’ front steps.

And more zucchinis.

It’s not a traditional toll house cookie. I make a caramel cookie and then throw chocolate chips into the batter. Seriously.

Reminds me of one of my favorite views of the Sudbury River. Love the sky!

Good morning, my friend! Merry #NationalDessertDay, a holiday I take seriously as you know! To celebrate, I’ve made a batch of choco-chip caramel cookies. Will bake an apple crisp later today. (The real reason for rainy days). Wishing you a sweet day!🍪🧁🥧🍪🧁🥧🍪

The secret to a balanced life, imparted by a very wise someone named Barbara Johnson: “A balanced life is having a cookie in each hand.”
Words to take to heart.

Seems to me that if you follow Ralph’s advice, you’ll end up being… happy!

I’m told anyone in town can submit a pumpkin. People can do this individually or as a family thing.
(PS: My pumpkins are “pie only” pumpkins, not artwork canvases, but I’ve enjoyed others’ pump-artworks a couple of times there in the past).

Happy Thanksgiving! (And thanks for yet another chuckle!)
