My Week In Review

Last Saturday the 18th, my son took me grocery shopping and I picked up this Shamrock plant (which was on sale of course!). I just have to smile every time I look at it! In the morning, the flowers open up! Then at night they close.. Guess they know when to wake and when to sleep...smile...

 

On our way to the store, look what we spotted... traffic stop!! "Why did the turkeys cross the road?" "Because the chickens did"!! LOL (they were probably going over to my house!!) I have lots more pictures of them, which I will share in another post!

 The next day, it was 79 degrees! I sat out front on the porch for a change. I just had to let Rusty out too. I hooked his leash handle to the leg of my chair. Well, it worked really good, but he wasn't able to go very far, so I don't think he was too happy with it.  I'm sure he'd have like to have gone over in that grass!!

Monday I went to physical therapy. I'm going to see if I can get some exercises, that I can do at home (by myself) that can give me more strength in my back. Tom and I used to try and exercise me everyday. Most of them I can't do anymore. Even though I have the table you need a therapist to help. (Tom was a therapist too...smile..) He wore many hats.. But anyway...I'll be going back again this week.

By Tuesday, it was snowing...so figure!! ha!! But it didn't last and was gone by the afternoon.

My friend stopped over this week and gave me some supplies and ideas for a craft project that I plan to make for Christmas this year!! I, hopefully will get them done, that is 9 months away...ha! ha!

Wednesday's are normally always my day to get my hair fixed. Which I love!! She stopped over to do that, and we had a nice visit!! Then another friend came for lunch and we had a lot to catch up on!

Thursday was a catch up day....just doing a little of everything around here.

Friday morning we had Bible Study. Did I tell you I was having it here?? What wonderful fellowship. There are only 6 of us...which really is just perfect. (fills my front room and my heart!) Then in the afternoon, a friend went with me and I had to get my yearly mammogram!! Ugggg... But it's done and just got the good results in the mail yesterday!! (big smile) Do you get one every year?? It seems like I've done it forever.... I was surprised when I recognized the lady who did it. I believe she did some of my first ones I ever had. (I know she didn't recognize me...why would she?? I'm sure she sees lots of women in a day!!) Anyway, I was asking her about her son, I remembered he was in the military, if he retired or was still in. She said, no, he was out. But that the last tour they sent him on was bad. (So, I didn't push it...sounded like he was having a hard time...so ...sad..) My prayers are with them.

Well...it is bed time and I will do another one, hopefully tomorrow and tell you all about this week...then you'll finally be caught up on my life!! smile...

Blessings and good night..

Where does time go??

 

Saturday when we came home from Lorelai's party, we spotted this beautiful sunset...

 

How has your week been going? Seems like, once again, we've had things that have kept us busy. The days go by so....so fast. Lots of people, of all ages say the same thing. Are we all too busy or are the seconds skipping by...meaning...is time skipping seconds? Instead of 1 second--2 second? Is it 1 second-3 second? ha..ha... (Sounds like a good excuse!)

 

Monday we 'almost' emptied the front room, since we had the carpet cleaners coming the next day. He said to leave all the heavy stuff, couch, chairs, TV, and tables, he would take care of moving them. I can't believe all the stuff we have on our end tables, but I know its  'necessary stuff''.. lol  Then Tuesday morning bright and early we finished moving the rest of the stuff. I'm so happy...the carpet and the rug look really nice and the house smells so good! smile...

 

 

Today again was an early riser..we took SIL to see the doctor. There was some good news. When we were there we saw our old neighbors, then when we were leaving, there was an old co worker. He was waving at me, so I went over and talked to him. He introduced me to his mother, telling her that I worked with him and I was one of the good guys..lol (I really liked him and his work ethics, so I got him a good raise!)

 

After we left it was raining...sad! I really wanted to go down to the Farmers Market. But, we just came home, I made a meatloaf and 'smashed potatoes! Ever make them?? We baked them, when they were done, we let them cool down a bit, cover them with olive oil--smash them! Then sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme, then more olive oil on them. Put back in the oven and back about 20 minutes. They were really good, especially with meatloaf. lol  Then my friend called and asked if she could come by and fix my hair. So, now I have pretty hair...smile.. 

 

Sounds like we're going to have rain again tomorrow. What kind of weather are you having??
