Hi: yesterday was the first day when the breeze, or slight wind, blew it was warm. That told me our summer has arrived. My car showed it was 33 degrees Centigrade. Thats quite warm, especially when just a few weeks ago it was still cold. Its like we did not have spring, we went from winter to summer. Spring was here, because my cherry tree was in full bloom and the daffodils and tulips and then irises came out, but they were late, and my roses are beginning to bud.
But for me its now shorts and tops .... I like being brown, and need to lay a base down (fair skinned English descent that I am) so when I'm out and about I don't burn.
What else is new. Not much....still find I get tired, and then I rest, then feel better and over do it, so guess the next few weeks will be like that. But I did manage to do a huge pile of ironing today. That's good, mind you I had several rests and watched the French Open Tennis and the FA Soccer Cup Final in London, England this am as well. Soccer is now over till August. Rugby is finishing too, but Tennis is happening and soon the Tour de France, which I usually watch. So the sports world of Norma Cowie continues.
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm getting my schedule ready for the summer. If you read this and want to know what it is email me and I will send you a copy of my schedule. Although its centered around home here, there are some interesting stuff - ie birthday gathering in July.
Lots of blessings with love this hot, summer day.

Star Trek even better 2nd time around
Hi: on Thursday night, even though I was tired, I went with a friend and saw Star Trek again. It was even better second time around. I caught little things, I had missed before. Wow is it a good movie. I have said to people even if they are not Trekkies .... go and see it - it is good. Anyway, it has now moved away from our local theatres and so will have to wait for the DVD to arrive before I get to see it again.
Mind you when Star Wars first came out -- gosh how many years ago was that, I went and saw it seven times. No, I don't have an addictive personality at all. If want a good movie, and haven't seen it yet, go see Star Trek. I'm sure you will enjoy it - especially if you like adventure or sci fi movies.
Blessings to you on this day.

Another prayer success
Hi: you may remember when I prayed for my dishwasher to work and it did. Well since March I have not been able to find my camera. I thought it was in one place, but it wasn't. Through all the pain and travel in the following months I could not set about actually looking for it, but kept my eye out. Still no camera. Now I'm feeling better and I'm catching up with myself, getting things back in order and I was thinking, "I wonder where that camera is?" Then I remembered that a friend of mine had said that St. Anthony was in charge of lost objects. Not being a catholic I don't know all my saints, but I did remember this one. (Mind you one of my favorites was St. Christopher the saint of travel, and now he's now longer a saint - but who cares, I still like him).
Anyway, I proceeded to pray to St. Anthony for the return of my camera. Would you believe a few minutes later I walked into my office, looked down (for some reason) at the space between my computer desk and a small file draw, and there on the floor, between the two by the back wall was my camera.
Thanks to St. Anthony, my camera is now sitting on my desk right before me. Cudos go to him, and especially to remember prayer does work.
Anyway, camera is back in hand, so more photos to come .... one day I will totally figure out not only how to download but how to email effectively.
You all have a good day and remember to pray for what you want. If you are not sure how, email me, and I will create one for you to say. I just love prayer work.
Lots of love this wonderful summer day, (my laundry is all out on the line getting wonderfully sun dried - just love the summers here).

movie update
Last night I went and watched the last movie of the big four which were released the last few weeks. Terminator: Salvation, which I enjoyed, but do not need to go see it again. I thought the introduction of the human terminator who had a heart was a great idea and some of the stunts were pretty terrific.
My favorite of them all though is Star Trek - which I'm going to see again on Thursday. I give this one 4 stars. It moves quickly and although I have one friend who said shes not interested in seeing it because shes not a Trekkie, I don't think you need to be to enjoy this movie. Its done wonderfuly well.
Next I would place: Xmen: Wolverine 3 1/2 stars. This is well done, keeps moving well, and although I got a bit lost as who died and who lived at the end, I enjoyed it.
Then would come Terminator: Salvation 3 stars. As above, thought it was well done. Mind you I have always been a Christian Bale fan (especially since Batman Begins). He is definately a 'method' actor who truly gets into his part, whatever it is.
Finally rounding out the four is Angels and Demons only 2 1/2 stars. Something was missing in this movie. I could not quite put my finger on it. I had read the book several years ago so did not remember the whole story, but perhaps it was that the woman lead and Tom Hanks did not seem to have chemistry or what. But even though it was well done, as I've said something was missing.
Now, not sure when I will get back to the movies (except for Thursday night when I will once more sit through the dynamic Star Trek) it has been one way of recuperating and giving myself a treat (I do believe in treats). As the TV schedule is terrible now .... I am back to sitting outside with a book enjoying the sun.
Enjoy your time at the movies.
Norma.

Supper with a 91 year old
I live in a mobile park and in this park there lives a 91 year old whose name is Pete. Pete is a character and proudly will tell you he walks at least 5 miles a day in order to keep healthy. (He used to walk 20 miles, but thats too much now). Over the two years I have lived here I see him often walking the circuit around our park. In fact, I myself often walk the circuit. Over time Pete and I began to have conversations, often about metaphysics and we exchange books and everynow and again he brings me a gift of something or other.
Pete, having lived for 91 years is full of knowledge, especially about the body and can recite facts and figures, which never in a month of Sundays would I remmber. But no matter what he is always interesting.
The other day he mentioned to me he wanted to have some Chinese Food and he had been to one restsurant, took one bite and left, so I said how would you like me to take you for supper on Sunday. I'll pick you up at 5pm. My final word was with him, "its a date Pete, I'll pick you up at 5pm Sunday". He had told me he wanted to go to a smorgasboard, otherwise forget it. Oh yes, he's a direct talker.
So at 5pm I pulled up outside his trailer and there he was sitting, reading a book. I asked him "are you ready". He replies "yes, you said Sunday, but not which Sunday, so figured it would be this one". I had decided which resturant to take him too, and thank goodness he enjoyed it. This particular resturant has a large selection of food, including seafood. Both Pete and I ate our fill, with Pete chatting up the waitress the whole time. When we (or should say Pete) totally finished eating, I drove us park to our park and left him as I drove the short further way to my place.
He said he enjoyed it. For me I enjoyed his company. This man is so knowledgeable, and although sometimes I'm not quite sure if he is joking or serious, I always enjoy our talks. He has a great relationship with the universe. Raised Catholic, has no time for churches or organized religion, but when he talks about his way of speaking to the great spirit, and to his body he understands the conscious, subconscious and superconscious like nobody I have ever met. He is indeed a living example of speaking with the body and the universal energy (some would call it prayer).
I look forward to another day when I once again will take Pete out for Chinese Food. In the meantime, I watch him walk by as he takes his daily walk and sometimes when I'm walking and hes walking (interestingly we both walk in different directions) we meet along the circuit and talk.
Hope you get to take someone interesting to supper and enjoy their company.
