I worked most of the morning on dad’s large box of receipts for 2015. Lots of sorting, some throwing away, but mostly sorting. Then put all the information in my spreadsheet and there were a coup...


I made a LOT of progress yesterday and could say I’m done in there but I’m not. I will most likely re-arrange things again once I start putting other small appliances on the shelves. Speaking of ...


I will write about my plan later in the entry. Easter was good. It was chilly and then rained (not sprinkles and not showers) but hard rain for about 30 minutes. It was still lightly raining whe...


A most humbling three days in this Easter celebration. Our Savior lives to give us eternal life! May your Easter celebrations include the Faith within yourselves and not the downfall of men and w...


It did start out chilly and I did cover my flowering bush on Thursday night, but not last night and all is fine. The freeze did kill my Easter Lilies however they were about done anyway. I mowed ...


I hate waiting on someone but also hate someone waiting on me and I avoid and take steps to prevent it as much as possible. Sunday after church I went to a music fund raiser to send kids to summe...


The weather folks had said we had a chance of snow or snow flurries this weekend but so far we’ve only had drizzle and colder temps. It is below freezing this morning so not sure the blooming pla...


I was sound asleep when Dudette and kids arrived last night but think it was around midnight. Dude decided to pickup his truck where they left it yesterday and go on home to get a shower and try ...


I have had a little burst of energy. It may not last long and I’ve already used some of it to prepare for Dude and family to return here from OK. A change in plans happened after Dudette got to h...


We will probably leave for Columbia in an hour or hour and a half. Dad’s appointment isn’t until 3 but I need to take him to the DAV to ask some questions about his claim. Hopefully we can get on...


Just heard on the radio that we can get some snow this weekend. I realize it is still March, and yes, it has been a mild winter, and yes I knew it could happen, but NO I don’t want it to happen. ...


I was feeling that little tidbit last night and this morning. I did some yard work to include burning and pulling new growth in front of the porch coming up thru the gravel strip. Oh my goodness ...


Can’t come up with a title right now suppose I will have to before this will post. Yesterday was another good day. Had my eye exam and ordered new glasses which should be in within a week. They w...


Middle of another week. Time certainly doesn’t slow down just because you don’t work at a job. Didn’t expect to however, the time is flying by. Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend and the fi...


Another early Sunday and the washing machine is filling with water for a load of my clothes. I got J’s laundry done yesterday and was going to wait until Monday to do mine, but changed my mind th...


I have to giggle a bit when I write or read TGIF, although it still brings the same feeling even now. Not sure why, other than the years and years of feeling that way on Fridays. Actually Thursda...


Oh my what a wonderful visit my HS friend and I had yesterday. She arrived at 8:30am and didn’t leave until 5pm. We talked and caught up with kids, grand kids, and life in general. It was like we...


Goodness the good news for Dude and Dudette is becoming humbling. First Dudette was offered and accepted working for a distributor of snack products as a Senior Sales Rep which entitles her to a ...


Per the laptop clock it is 5:47am and J is eating his breakfast and getting his lunch ready. Actually he is taking leftovers from yesterday but he usually gets a couple of other things to add to ...


Woke up early this morning. Of course I did, it is Saturday. Blah! O stayed overnight and he was awake by 5am. Told him he could go get in my bed, but he didn’t want to. He’s on the old laptop wa...


I was close to worthless today. Today was J’s early day to catch the bus to work, although he was a bit later than a reg early Wed. No idea why, but it makes for a bit of tension wondering if eve...


Been up for about an hour. Read diaries here and on ED. I was really behind in ED and had missed some back entries from some of my favs. I like the way PB keeps track and shows all entries and if...


A cousin and his wife are coming to visit dad, myself, and maybe my sister and brother today. They plan to be here around 1ish and they are also planning to spend the night. I’m getting the guest...


So my latest obsession in creating is making stuffed bunnies. I adjusted the pattern and seem to every time I make another bunny rabbit. I have to say that they do snuggle right into your heart. ...


Well, sorta. I did get several things done early this morning. Actually I did pretty good until around 11:30 when I stopped to fix a frozen burrito for lunch. Then I noticed how bright the sun wa...
