We've had some beautiful fall days this week with temps hovering around 68-70, but today we'll be only 62* and rainy. and that's beautiful, too!! Our nickname is the Evergreen State and this is how we maintain it!
Yesterday morning I got the whole house cleaned. Bill finished quilting my queen red/white/black quilt, vacuumed everywhere, 'blew' the garage and cement parking area, and picked up all the hoses, sprinklers, and timers. A very busy morning. Lee & Lara arrived about 12:30 and we really enjoyed our 4-hour visit. We went out for Mexican, which is her favorite. They won't be too near to us this week - about 50 miles north. Lee will be working every day, plus they have a lot more family and friends to see so I doubt we'll get to see them again. But it would be nice . . . We ARE on the way back to the airport . . .
I also cleaned my sewing room and made a little more progress on my gift for my Elf. Then we relaxed the evening away and slept late this morning. Today is laundry and football in front of the fire. I have no intention of going anywhere or doing anything else for the rest of the day.
MARY ROSE - full retirement is only 2 years away?? From your perspective, that probably seems a long time. But I was thinking you still had about 12 yrs to go. Do you have any big plans for after retirement? Or just relax and sew? And that's not a bad plan - not a bad plan at all!
JANA - I love it - "gravity hotspots"! I remember those days! Not always fondly. Nice for the family to know they don't always have to go fast food when the cook is off-duty, but can hit Mom's house for a good dinner! And it must be fun to watch the snow as it does its thing, day by day! We are deep in the tall evergreens here so we see nothing like that. Ahh, I wish it were all so simple with Ernie and the Big Bad Girlfriend. Ernie was not in the hospital yet when she got the ticket or when the accident happened. Only the missing cash (no proof she took it, but odds are in her favor), and the $750 in CC charges. Ernie made the choice to pay her bills so while we decry her taking such advantage of him (paying her bills in the range of $2,000 a month for four years), it was his choice, bad as it was. I'm trusting Karma - or Bill's sister - whichever gets her first! lol! (If you're putting money on this, go with Becky. She's pretty feisty!
)BECCA - I think we're all very relieve that Brodee's surgery was cancelled. Go Brodee!! and good news about Adalyn! I bet she doesn't miss her cast at all! I'm sorry to hear your wonderful CA is doing poorly. he is always on my prayer list. I just have a section on that list for your whole family!
TINA - for a sick person, your Friday and Saturday were jam-packed with action!! If you were feeling up to par, I wouldn't be able to read your posts without a nap and an energy drink! I hope you get your results quickly and they all definitive and easily addressed. Now go take a nap!
CHICKIE - Poor Tinkerbell! I hope the medication works for her. Do you know how old she is? And I do remember how silky soft her coat is, and how sweet her temperment. Give her a hug for me!! And oh, how I WISH we could recoup everything from Ms. Goldie Digger. But KNOWING and PROVING are two different things. Some we could prove, some we couldn't. Doesn't make sense to spend $$$ on a lawyer and court cost to try to recover just $. And we probably never would anyway. I'm going with the Karma/Becky plan. lol!
Supper tonite - hmmmm... maybe chicken burgers and salad. While the buns and veggies are still fresh.
Have you got a plan for your plate tonite?
