Two Year- Old's Becoming Friends

        This morning as I took a very short walk with my two year-old grandson, then turned around to walk back, he kept looking back. I glanced up and saw a lady with a stroller walking toward us. I told my little guy, come on sweetie lets go. He did but he continued to look back. I was walking slow anyway and so the young lady caught up with her son in the stroller.
           We both stopped and greeted each other. I asked my little one to shake hands and he very slowly reached out to the other little boy, who was also two. The other child kept his hand closed, but only momentarily, Then they both clasped hands. Introductions were made all around and then I asked if the little boy could walk with my grandson. He sure could and did. That stroller table opened and he jumped right out. In seconds the two, two-year old's were walking and holding hands!
           The other little child talked so fast he sounded like my daughter and he was so cute. Finally my little guy broke loose. This was his first "friend" type experience that I had the happiness of seeing. By end of our short walk and before good-bye were said, I was invited to go along with them to the playground, exchange phone numbers and addresses and because of these two-year old's also made a friend.
           Before I end this, I wanted to also let people know, This young lady told me she was from India and we talked about education, and people who are homeless, all once again because two, two years old's were curious about each other. That's all it took to become friends. I wish I took a picture of them holding hands, but I have it in my heart.

Doozybags/St. Judes Donations

       I am working on selling out most of my items with 40% off. Please take a few moments and check out doozybags.etsy.com   Out of any profits I am donating 205 to St. Jude my favorite charity.
Every day we as human beings see children who are sick, dying and families have little or no insurance. At St. Judes no one ever pays, not even for tolls, gas, travel, hotels etc. They give all of what they can to offer families as much peace of mind as possible. Parents have enough to worry about, think about and hope for. I'm hopeful there is something you will find useful. Thank you

Time Has no Mind?

      Well an old friend introduced me to this older saying, if I have it right. Either way I know it's close . Its been a while since we had a good old chat so I guess time lost its mind. We get busy with life, over busy, involved in electronics or hobbies and sometimes just want to be left alone. Next thing ya know, time has gone so quickly that you have to wonder where it went.
           Like old clocks with those huge fingers, then wrist watches that make you squint, now time is on  our phones. Or is it? Time in my opinion is what we decide to do with it.
          Remember being ten or fifteen or even twenty-five? How fast have those years passed ? Like a snap of your fingers time passes so make it all count with your children, family and friends. Remember this too, and I'm sure you've heard it before when asked of a parent or a child; More than anything what can I give you and the answer is usually, spend a day with me or an hour, sit and talk or walk, and turn your phone off. Those lousy phones that have the time as always present, always in our faces, put them away. You'll never get a refund on time! Remember the best gift you can give is time, because with that come memories. No one can steal that!
            

Don't Wait ! Do it now!

       I have a friend who works at a local convenient store and we all know people who work at those local stores, don't earn a lot of money. For this article it doesn't matter weather if she single or not, has children or not. What matters is how she lives.
       This lady has chosen not to invest in buying a new or newer home and I won't mention if she rents or owns because again, that doesn't matter. What matters is this lady is an example of  living her life the way she wants. The old saying less is more fits her perfectly. She's satisfied, content. I'm sure there are moments she may wish to live with more riches, yet they are fleeting moments.
        With very little, a bit of cash and her camera, she'll take a country drive and snap away, then share for those looking at a different perspective to think of how lucky she is, what shes sees through her view. She has an eye for peaceful things and looking into the past. When I see some of her photos, I take my time and wonder. Who lived there before and what was their life like? Were they happy? Then like many she takes photos of train tracks. That brings me to my time as a kid, always taking a train to the city every day, and yet quickly I wonder about the old tracks in her photos, so old. Where were people going in those days in these small towns? How did they dress? Thoughts run like a maze when I see her photos.
        There are other days when she'll visit an old broken down piece of history, like a prison, or an old graveyard . These are a few ways of how she spends her days, not expensive, but a sense of freedom, and that's whats important, freedom.

TRUMP ! NY Unclaimed Property

       If I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it, but I saw this years ago and sent a letter to Trump Towers in New York that the Trump Organization/s, and now the President himself has unclaimed property at the NY unclaimed property site.
   In addition to Mr. Trump himself and his hotels and other organizations, his daughter Ivanka, his brother (late brother) Fred, listed as Fred and Fred C has money at the NY unclaimed property office. Here are a few ways Trumps organizations are listed:

  • Trump So ho NY
  • Trump Organization Water Front Assests
  • Trump Village
  • Trump Assests
  • Trump Communications
  • Trump Corporation/Palace Condominium 
  • Trump Casino International
     There were quite a few more, but I finished with the Trump family and went on to search, something I enjoy. For those of you who think this is something, not for you, well I also found   money for me, under a 100. This money for you, me and anyone else gets lost in the POSTAL SYSTEM, or is mail not forwarded because a forwarding address wasn't left upon moving. So it lays in limbo somewhere and years later is reported, but you have to search. These state sites hold, security deposits, old bank accounts, old paychecks, investments, inheritances that you may not think were left behind. Search your state and any state you lived in, states your relatives lived in or live in now, and search for old friends. This money is free to get, is yours not the state.
     Go and get it! IT's free, if not free, your on the wrong site. Good Luck1
