Simply Saturday

Not much happening today. There is a lot I need to be doing, just not doing it!!!!
Humpty Chadwell passed away last Sunday, May 10 after a very short illness and his service was on Wednesday. This family is so very dear to me.

Penny and Chris are here from Michigan and we are suppose to meet at Pancho's in Spring Hill tonight --- depends on how my foot is feeling --- I am having a flare up of gout -- very painful, yet much better than Thursday and Friday.

The Ladies Retreat was this weekend but I did not get my money in on time and then I probably would not have been able to go with the painful gout anyway. I am really needing my dose of Southern Hills Church tomorrow though. It is always very uplifting and encouraging and just gives you that dose you need to get you through life, then get back there on Wednesday for some more.

Until next time ..........It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you didn't.

Monday Musings

Mother's Day was yesterday and even though my Mother is no longer with me I still think of her every day. I hope all the mothers I know had a wonderful day. Emily gave me a card. Susan bought my lunch on Saturday. Liz bought flowers for the cemetery and I took them there on Saturday. Yesterday I went to Marie's for lunch and then to visit with Mrs. Marlin for awhile and then on to NHC to stay with Dianne and Humpty for awhile. Humpty passed away about 10:00 last night. He was never in pain, how fortunate. He and Marie were married for 63 years!!! My heart just breaks for this family who are all so very close.

The weather is pretty today, finally no rain!!! Not much to report. Will check in later.

Monday Musings

Gayle thinks it is time for the rain to stop! Sure we need rain but why do we have to get so much at one time for soooo many days in a row. My feet have been wet for four days now. We will be wanting some of this in July when there is no rain. Don't get me wrong, I know God knows what he is doing and maybe he does this to make me sit up and take notice of things around me. Believe me I watched some robins splashing in puddles (lakes) of water at Marie and Humpty's yesterday. How long has it been since I noticed that??? The grass is very green, wet but green. The buds and colors are brighter, wet but brighter. And, I guess one of the best things is the air quality is much better. We can all breathe much better and the allergies are better and the migraine gone. Okay, the rain , all of it, was a good thing. Thank you for rain.

I spent some time with Emily Friday which was very good. She actually had to borrow my car for a little while. Then Friday night we had pizza with Dianne at Marie's.

Until next time . . . . . . ..The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Finally Friday

May 1 already!! Things are calming down. . . .except the weather. Outside it is rather frightful today!! Wait, is that a song? Dark, dark clouds again (of course, it is Friday).

I had my evaluation this week --- all went well, good job, etc....no raises this year. Thankful to have a job and one that I enjoy.

Extra prayers for the Chadwell family --- Humpty has cirrhosis and it does not look good for him. And the Proctor family --- Uncle Russell has bladder cancer. Carolyn facing this again.

Emily has my car today while her car is at Moody's. So my lunch was vending machine snacks!!!
Cheese crackers (yum) with peanut butter (yuck). And a Twix bar -- too sweet.
What I really want is a pizza.

I went to the Rice's last night but the only little Rice's there were Kelsey and Jake. It is always such a pleasure to be there anyway.

Until next time. . . . . .Learn to look for joy everywhere you go.
