I'm Back

With the help of my son and his wife I visited with my sister and her husband. I went thru security at the air ports with special security since I can't go thru the metal detector. LOL I had a chance to visit with my nephew and his wife. For many reasons visiting with them is a joy and a bit of fun. I ate enough food to feed an army. My sis and I lost a great deal of sleep just talking,remembering. It was a great trip and I am so so glad I had the chance to do it.

Laugh-Sometimes Thats all you Can Do

Today I was tired and had no oomph but i wanted to finish cleaning out ancient things in my cupboards and spice rack. I finished and had a black garbage bag pretty full. I knew my son left a bag of broken toys in the back hall and I had a broken coffee pot there to. I also wanted to take my car for a short spin today. So I decided to get a big bag and put everything in that one big bag and go to the disposal place that charges $2 a bag. I managed to get the heavy bag into the back seat of my car.
Drove the nine miles to the place hoping I would get some help moving the bag. No such luck since the man was busy with a big truck. Oh well,didn't want to move car too close where the truck was dumping so i got the bag out and started to walk. I went about4 feet and the bag broke right there in the drive way. So I tried to get cans,dry cereal and spices plus the other bag into my big bag. i unloaded that and with two more trips I cleaned up all the rest sitting in the driveway. What you gonna do?
Laugh thats all you can do.

The Day

It was a good day. My "boss" and i went out for lunch. Isn't it strange that this women I like i still call her my "boss". She was for quite a few years but I introduced her today to someone as my ex boss. Most of the time she was a very good boss. I feel like I might not have stayed in my job until retirement if it wasn't for her. I had other bosses but none of them as long and I always call them by name. I call her by name in conversation.
I respect her and know her life wasn't always easy. Carolyn you are special!!

DDDD

The four D's describe what I am feeling. This is a dark dreary damp day. It could really get you down. So I baked some muffins. Went through my cupboards and threw out things that were way past there good date. I have a way of hiding things in my cupboards. I don't even know what I have sometimes. So DDDD isn't all bad .

What a Week and Happy Mother's Day

This has been some week. My son and his son dug up the septic tank so it could be pumped out. Old house very low tank about 6 foot deep if not more. Nice large hole in my back yard and the great grands are here to. They had to see of course and got so close to the hole. What we said didn't mean much-this was something different for them. Lucky for them, only my son and grandson had to deal with falling. The walls gave way more than once and they had to dig out what they had dug out more than once.No easy access here. It was open overnight and in the morning my son had to dig out what had fallen in. It was pumped at 10 in the morning so it was closed and covered quickly. My yard is a mess but a month from now grass will be growing and hopefully the house will look better. In the front yard I have tulips almost open, The peony bushed are growing.
The daffodils are holding on. The violets are up-but hard to see in the midst of some tulips.
This morning I woke up to the furnace running. It was 36 but it suppose to feel like 28 degrees. Tonight it will get down to 34.
I had hoped to get some work done in the yard but it isn't going to be today. My neighbor Dawn has tulips in bloom and loads of daffidill areas in her yard plus more color in other flowers. Her yard is absolutly beautiful. My ggs wanted to pick when I took her over to see all the flowers.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY and remember folks there are fathers doing motherly duties while mom is overseas.
God Bless

May Day

My wish to all is that we have a day of happiness with children doing a dance around a pole or leaving flowers at the door of a friend.
With all that is going on in this world we do not need to hear "May Day" the international distress call.
