Thank you Joyce.

1. It's National Read A Book Day...whatcha' reading? What's a book you want to read? 

I'm not reading anything. I kinda wanted to read Prince Harry's book Spare. 

2. Which is better...having high expectations or low expectations? Explain why. 

Interesting question. I usually have high expectations and I seem to be disappointed often. Maybe I should have lower expectations. 

3. Serenity is_something I am not experiencing at this time

They say it is the absence of  mental stress or anxiety. 

4. What's  the most interesting thing in your purse or pocket right now? 

I don't have anything interesting in my purse right now except a small slim bottle of water that sits perfectly in my new purse. 

5. What helps you calm down? 

Probably watching a Hallmark movie. I do however have a 0.5 clonazepam that can help. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We spent Sunday over at Adam, Gabby & James' house along with Gabby's Mom, Sister, Brother in law and their two children which of course are James' cousins. The kids had fun in the pool. We also had a great snacks and a delicious dinner. 

James, Dean and Inara playing in the pool on 
a shark raft. 

His cousin Dean who is in first grade found a Halloween costume at Costco and brought it with. He just loves wearing it. I don't have a photo but he was the Hedgehog. As it turned out James found one at Costco too so he went and put his on. Our little astronaut.

Cutest Astrnaut I have ever seen... they look like they are having a blast on that float. I can say that the word Serene is not in my vocabulary and have never felt serene that I can remember. it is just not in my personality. I do love serene water views, but my mind still winds away while sitting viewing it.

We just had our grandchildren here for a few days and it's so much fun to see the cousins together. My sister was here too with her teenage son and the little boys just loved playing in the lake. He said he didn't think anyone could wear him out but they proved him wrong lol.

Wendy said...

Spending time with family, especially grandkids is always good but probably won't help with feeling serene lol.

Such cute kids, and a handsome astronaut, too, Debby!
Blessings!

Cathy said...

Your little astronaut is adorable and he looks like he's having a blast with his cousins! Hope you have a great day!

Awe is that his Halloween costume this year? So cute. I miss those days.
Enjoy them.
What is going on not feeling serene? How are your lungs?
Are Harry and his wife - forgot her name - getting divorced? I saw that on a magazine cover at the grocery store.
I like Hallmark too.
Love, sandie

Love the astronaut costume...James looks adorable in it.
I have several unfinished books on my table right now. I somehow need to finish them but have lost my zest for reading at the moment..which isn't at all like ME...
Nothing interesting in my purse either...just the usual stuff.

Thank you so much for the pictures. It sounds like a great day, and James is adorable. It’s fun to watch him grow.

Cute little astronaut! Sounds like a fun time was had by all with snacks and a delicious dinner, too. Happy September to you!

That's best-looking astronaut I've ever seen!
I, too, am curious about Prince Harry's book -- but at the same time, really disappointed in his and Meghan's behavior. My heart still belongs with Will and Catherine.

Lisa said...

He is such a cute astronaut!! I need to run by Costco and see what costumes they have. Our granddaughters might need one :-)

Debby said...

"The absence of mental stress or anxiety" Yep I'd say that is it. I wish serenity for everyone.
Enjoyed your answers.

Kym said...

Ann said...
