Dreams..

What do dreams mean. Do or don't they have meanings. I dream of when I was young and without worry.. Or did I have worries. I think we do have them all our lives. You want to be the best for your parents, for the teachers and your spouse.Also you want to be liked and help people that need you.This is what live is CARING. Then when you get older you have the same feeling, But the changes to care is turned around. You have to be cared for. To understand older people you have to remember that they where once in charge. Most older people understand, but they have to understand that you are being looked at different. I remember when I worked in the hospital and a older couple would walk in the nurses would say Look what a cute couple holding hands. It made me mad and I said do not look at them as cute respect them for who they are.

A Family Tea Party.




My family from Boston where over and we had a real tea party. It all brings back memories for me. When my daughters came home from school we had our afternoon tea.It was a great time to be in touch with them and listening to what they had to tell.This later became a habit with my grandchildren. It is maby Dutch habit, but it also is a time to reflect and get to know them better.My grandson is really in to it.

Finale a little cooler

This has been the worst week of my life. I can not stand this heat anymore.I did not do anything. No cooking or even make my bed. And that is strange for me. Thursday I went to a friend for our monthly card playing. When I left her home and got in to the car the temperature was 101. I could not believe it. Yesterday they promised us rain. Well it finale came after 4 p.m. It cooled of a little, it felt good to get some fresh air in the house,It looks like a beautiful day. Today is or get together with my daughters for lunch. So everything looks better.
