Spirit Lifters

It is amazing how your spirits can be lifted by a visit. Regardless if you hurt or are blue it can all change for awhile. I had company this afternoon. My lawn was cut by my son and my ggd was full of energy and personality. That little girl can be so cute but she knows how to get her way. It was a nice visit and I spent time with my son's friend. It was a good part of the day.

RIP

A good man lost his fight against Cancer on Friday. He was my youngest boys principal and a good friend to my family. His family consists of a wife,three girls and one son. I am not sure how many grand children. I pray that God's peace will help them all at this time.
ENJOY HEAVEN RANDY!

Nothing Special

The weather was pretty bad with flooding and tornadoes last night. May get more of the same tonight and tomorrow but not right around here. It was windy for some time this afternoon and the umbrella for the table took off again. I had to move table and umbrella to more of a sheltered place. I thought the base would keep it in the table.
Today I asked my neighbor to lift up the hood of my car because I couldn't do it. :( He opened it without a problem and put in some brake fluid for me.
It is hot here but not as bad as Texas where my sister lives. She had 101 and 103 degrees. YUK
Have not been feeling as good as I would like but hopefully things will get better.

Outside

My table,my umbrella and my chair are outside now. I sat outside for quite awhile. Had coffee and relaxed working in my puzzle book. It is so refreshing to sit outside. There is value in just sitting and enjoying the peace around here.

No Rain Yea!

It rained during the night and they said it would this afternoon BUT it didn't. It is south of us and later may move up and get us again. Went up to iron mountain with Bob and picked up more pills from the doctor's office. I only hope they work. I also bought an umbrella stand so I can put out the umbrella and it will stay. No more flying in the wind. I love being able to sit outside and have coffee. It has been a nice day. While looking around in a store I saw two girls I worked with over 15 years ago. We had a nice chat. When you work where we worked there are memories not all good but easily remembered.
Gosh it sure feels good not to be in a down mood.

Trying Times & Other Things

I have been trying to change something on the blog comments and it hasn't worked so far. I just tried again and hope it will happen.
I cut my front lawn and didn't do side or back yard and then walked to post office. My legs had little or no strength but I made it. (Oh for the days when I could get things done)

Oh, have any of you that take pills looked at where they came from? I did that a few days ago and was surprised. I have one pill that comes from Belgium. I have another one that comes from Jerusalem, Israel.

The sun is out today!!! No more days this week are to be sunny. Like my kids taught me to say-WHATEVER.

Rain And Its Side Effects

This rainy period is getting to me;changing my attitude and putting a grey tone to it. Things that bother me are growing in importance and that should not be. The fact that I have to double up on a pill and that I can pull some dead skin off my burnt thumb should not be important. Hopefully the sun is to shine for awhile tomorrow and I can get back to where I should be.
My life is too blessed to be in this stinky mood and my blood pressure can go lower.

Week End Company

On saturday I had a brief visit from my son Bob and three of his grand children. He brought up Calvin who is only six months old. He looks like he is a year old. He is large. I was surprised at his size and weight. We didn't go or do anything but enjoy.
Today I did my laundry and thats it. Some days you just don't want to do much. I still have to make my bed and put laundry away.

Redundancy or Lack Of Communication

I agree a census is a vital tool for planning and programing but it should not be a way to get a lot of people doing the same thing and no one talking to the other one.
Someone came to my house and I filled out the form. I also gave info on a empty house next door.
Days later I was called on the phone to verify the info given.
Now this morning there is a knock on my door and census worker wants to verify this house is occupied. That was all. Didn't the filled out form and the phone call let them know I was here and the house was occupied?
