April Showers, A nice fire, and a visit with Alan's parents!

LOVE this photo image of the rain! April Showers is in full force today / tonight!

Spent an "on the go day"; and also had Alan's Mum and Dad over later this afternoon. We have a beautiful tall, white slatish stone fireplace; and it was a very cosy tidbitty of a time! They enjoyed the comfort of the fire; as well as the increased warmth from a tid glass of sherry!

Presently, they are in an old age home; and we are in the process of relocating them to a spot, that is a bit more humane and compatible for them. Just a bit of political tid to organize things with all those concerned.

In the meantime, our fireplace hearth gave good cheer to their spirits; and it was a refreshing "getaway" for them! And, it was pouring with rain; so it was indeed, a warm and inviting abode.

Tidbit - Do something "nice" for someone; regardless of how tired etc you may be feeling. It is amazing how much better you feel, when you have helped / encouraged somebody else! We did not feel we had the full energy to give for this afternoon's visit; however, we "put ourselves in their shoes"; and it was wonderful to hear their animated conversation and laughter. It was as if they had been given a "new lease on their life!" - Us too!

Bit tid - We have so much to be thankful for! Appreciate and enjoy your life to the fullest; because life does become more of a weary challenge; ie at Alan's parents' age. However, this bittidz afternoon, gave them a restful tidbitz!
