SUNDAY POST – A PLACE TO RELAX

Apparently several family members have different ideas about how and where to relax.
Phoenix, our feline, prefers my jacket and the couch.

Rocky, our shepherd, thinks my yoga mat is the way to go.

Jeff swears we will retire to South Carolina and Fripp Island is the place that convinced him of this. Soooooo relaxing.

And, after a week’s stay in the hospital with double pneumonia, the flu, and congestive heart failure, my mom has found her niche in our home. This is her new place to relax. Thankfully, she is doing a little better every day. This is momma in her sanctuary.

Now I need a place for me to relax!

Thanks. 😉

Lilly took over the golden room! What’s up!? If there wasn’t a cat on your jacket, you could grab it and meet me at Mastori’s, but even that was comandeered. Cupcake wants to know why Phoenix can’t go outside and sit under the cars like the cats in our neighborhood.

Everything around here is getting commandeered! I’m losing control. (Did I have control?) Phoenix would have a stroke if she went outside! Tell Cupcake that’s a fact.

Your photos brought along truly relaxing mood 🙂

I think you should stick with Jeff! He’s definitely got the right idea. It looks beautiful 🙂 Your day will come, Gem. Nice to see Mum.

  No worries 🙂 Have a good weekend, Gem.

Do you relax with your camera in your hand? It’s maybe one way!
Photos are really fine, with witty taglines. Good luck to mom. Jeff has good taste, Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides) has/had a home on Fripp Island.
Of course he shared it with an alligator. Just saying.

The camera intimidates me. I am still struggling with it so most of my pix are of iPhone decent. I need a private tutor. Ha ha. Jeff’s mom use to share her complex with an alligator in Florida. A little puppy disappeared once. Just saying. 😀
Thanks for stopping by, Judith.

I love Mom’s new place to relax and it looks like she is enjoying it as well. Yours is there. It’s waiting for warm weather and red wine. See you on the deck…soon, I hope.

Thanks, Dawn. I hope you’re right. And about the deck. If you’re ever up this way (I know you have a mileage limit but…) you’re definitely invited for some home made red.

  That’s enticing! 🙂

Oh I like these pictures, Gem! My favourite has to be Phoenix because I’m dotty about cats – but his (or is it her???) pose is also wonderful – gloriously feline!!! And its also especially good to see your mum in her niche – and also hearing the good news about her. ATP
