Time for the Friday 5

I almost forgot that it is time for Willy-Nilly Friday 5....and really want to join this time as I may not get to for a couple weeks.

1.  Lorelei and her mom will be coming for a couple weeks...we will be keeping Lorelei while her mom goes to training.  While she is here, not sure how much blogging I will be doing. 

2.  I can just hear Lorelei's voice and my day improves.  Honestly. 

3.  I don't know why, but tugboats and barges fascinate me.  As well as the big rivers...we have the Wabash flowing close to us, but next to the Ohio and the Mississippi, it is so small.  This tugboat was on the Ohio River.

4.  I have started the book A Wilder Rose by Susan Wittig Albert.   I think I am going to enjoy it.  It seems as I get older, I have a harder time finding a book that really draws me in.

5.  I did absolutely nothing today.  Not one single thing did I accomplish.  I seldom have a day where I don't do something, and I suffer a lot of guilt when I don't do something.  I just always like to feel I accomplish something, even if it is doing laundry.  But when that is all I do, I still feel like I haven't done enough.  How are you with doing nothing?  

Linking to Willy Nilly Friday 5...so thankful to have it to link to.  I just love reading everyone's thoughts.

East of the Sun and West of the moon...

We ran around this morn in Terre Haute...at the time we came home, I just did not want to go in another store...much less a Super Walmart.  Yet, this evening, I got to thinking I would like to go and get it done and not have to go tomorrow or the next day...so Roger said he was willing...

The sky was wonderful....so we decided to do a little cloud/sunset chasing on the way.

You might have to enlarge this to see the moon peeping out.

so this was in the east....(and it is East of the sun)

And there was the wonderful sunset, that is West of the moon...

but not until I was going through the pictures and seen this particular shot of the awesome cloud did I think of that old fairytale, East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

That was my favorite fairytale of all time when I was a child.  I read it more than any other.  And a couple years ago, my sister-in-law/BFF got me a copy of it.  Now I read it to Lorelei sometimes when she is here.

Just wondering, what is the childhood story that sticks in your mind.  This is not the only one for me...I just happened to have an old schoolbook that had it in it.

I loved The Little Red Hen, The Little Engine that Could, plus one or two that I don't recall  their title.  And my favorite poem of all time when I was little was Little Boy Blue! 

From Patton's Corner for Rubbish Tuesday

I don't think I have posted this yet, though I have meant to for ages and ages.  I love to have it to hang on the garage here or on the house.  I consider it another treasure from Patton's corner.

An then I have still more from Patton's Corner.

How about these old seats?

I would like to go back and spend more time there.  There is just so much to see and look at.  The past does not seem so far behind us when we are there.  Wouldn't you just love to be able to step in to a way-back machine...just to be able to go and actually observe things.

Thanks to Betty for hosting Rubbish Tuesday...
