  • A Day in the Life...

    guinea pig and cat
    "It's mine, I tell you, all mine. I caught it, I claim it!"

    I meant to go over to go to church with Dad, but it had already started. He and I went out on the screen in porch. We chatted a bit and he told me that he had been very sick, but was feeling better and wanted to go to lie down. When he got to the room, he got in bed and told me 'bye.' I was so glad he was not so discombobolated today.

    I ate lunch with Will and his family and wife's extended family and some of their friends. It was a good lunch and most of the same ones that were at the game last night. The kids were mostly good. They sat at a table beside ours.

    I did quite a bit of work around here trying to get ready to accomodate my temporary guests. I did have time, however, to squeeze in a little nap time. Getting up at 4 AM makes a nap very tempting in midafternoon.

    I now have lots of sundries that I brought from Jonathan's. I have already raided it and gotten a couple of things that I needed to use today. He was glad when I told him about it. He said they would probably just stock the new kitchen with new items. I think that is probably a good idea...more for my kitchen.

    One of the members of the lunch party, my dil's brother, a former police officer, and I had a good discussion about police suicide. He was talking about some old cases and such. There are several members of her family that are policemen. Anyway, I have sent him a link to JustMeAndy supported police officer's site. You can go over and connect with the link too. Andy usually has a good blog and a great message of some sort..ha! You can link to the police site from there.

    Let's see, I don't think I know anything else tonight. Except I am still thinking seriously about selling my house....I will try not to bore you with this decision. BF, both sons, and a couple of others I have mentioned it to, seem to be in favor of it...we shall see.

  • I wanted to mention that Andy's site is www.badgeoflife.com. He and his team do wonderful work. Andy was a great friend to me last year when I went through a bad patch.

  • Sell your house?  Big decision.

  • I hope that's not the old guinea pig bait and switch trick?!


    I think the afternoon nap is very underrated.  I took a couple this weekend since I haven't been sleeping well thanks to what I think is a pinched nerve in my neck.


    Would you buy a smaller house/apartment or rent?  Big decision, good luck.

  • This sounds like a good day.  I've come to love naps in my chair with my kitty cat...I'm reminded of being about five again, waking up to the sun in a different position.


    Thanks for the mention of my website--we're kind of the "little train that could" (remember the Golden Book? :) and we figure we will just keep chugging as best we can--"we've got high hopes," as the song goes :)  I appreciate the encouragement!!!

  • Sweet photo! Glad you had a good visit with your Dad. Sounds like a pretty good weekend for you. The weekend sure went fast for me.


    "JustMeAndy" is just one of the best people on Xanga.


    Hugs to you, Sweet Cyn!


  • Good night!

    Nope don;t want to swap my camera for your garage cleaning-besides I don't have a garage.

  • that photo is so cute of the kitten.

  • sorry the hubby wanted to talk to me about where he was going.


    hey, thanks for being there for me sister. jill

  • I was able to access your site!!! Now I cannot leave a comment on awishforyou. What is it about my computer?


    I am making myself sit down for five minute intervals to read my subs and so here I am.


    As for selling your house, it seems that now is not a good time...according to Parade, the section that comes with my Sunday paper. Of course, your area might not have the same problems as other areas.


    I am so glad to be able to comment...hooray!

  • Selling your house, eh? I hope you make the best decision for you, whatever it is. You find the greatest photos!!

  • I'm all for downsizing when you get older and getting closer to your kids. Ot at least one or the other! Good luck on your decision.


    Sorry about your vein issue. Do you drink a couple glasses of water beforehand? My Dad said it helps--don't know how though. My heart goes out to you. I've been there tempoarily whne I had colon surgery and was in the hospital several days. They were ready to put an IV in my foot!   TG it didn't come to that. *hugs*

  • I wanted to leave an early Happy Mother's Day to you!! And some hugs! I'll  holler at you when I get back.


    Hugs, C.
