You don't really want to know. It was a weekend of sorting and packing, of finding things I had forgotten I had. I actually found a hat I have been looking for for two years. So, I guess it was a good weekend after all...a sense of accomplishment makes one feel good. Mary
Fun weekend! I had a busy weekend myself. Yesterday I spent at the hospital with my foster daughter, who delivered a healthy baby girl about 5pm--over 9 lbs! Whew! Today I took the first half of my black belt test (in taekwondo) and then back to the hospital to see how mom and baby are doing. Fine. Now relaxing, watching football, and catching up on blog reading.
Sweet Jo, those are just absolutely adorable. I was just thinking yesterday how I should have done this when my grandkids were down last week. How on earth did I forget such a fun project? Love the pumpkins~ Hugs, Leah
Goodness...........I haven't opened my blog or posted since December of 2021. Don't know if I will start blogging again as I don't like to use Google for anything.....but who knows. Guess if I want to put my thoughts on paper Google will be necessary. We will see what happens. Stay well.....✋
I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate. Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive. I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1. Listing our current home the end of the first week in November. We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance. We just want to be able to live more and work less. Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there. 2. Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest. We will visit 5 countries along the way. One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany. My family left Germany right...
2020..can you believe it? With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here. Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate. Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store. With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there. Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye. Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration. No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
