Hope you started off this holiday weekend with a bang, Cheryl. We did yard work - I transplanted my flowers into pots and hung them out while Rich did some weeding. I lined the driveway wth flags and in front of the house so we re all decorated for weekend and Memorial Day. I did some other chores around the house and tried catching up on some newspapers, so am tired now. Watching Quiet Place II on HBO Max..........been waiting a while for this to come out. Have a wonderful weekend, Cheryl.........enjoy and have fun. Hugs, Wendy
It is a long weekend for a reason. Please remember what it is all about. Talk about it to your kids, to everyone.
I am so excited for Derrick to now have his new best friend and service dog. If you don't have a charity, please consider donating often to Patriot Paws located in Rockwall, Texas who help Veterans everywhere with service dogs. It is a wonderful organization.
Derrick and Bill are best friends. They ride the laid back bicycles and compete in lots of Veteran races over many miles, often taking more than a day.
As Derrick and Bill were riding away from our house, I realized I forgot to take a picture. Really??? Both of them are in that picture.
Please remember to say "Thank you for your Service and Sacrifice.
Are you ready to celebrate Memorial Day weekend? What a sacrifice so many families have given for each of us. I hope you have your Red, White & Blue on and are sharing your smile with everyone!
Was a nice day - had PT then piced up my scrpts from WalMart. Went there right after PT but the pharmacy had jut closed so I did something else in the meantime. I just got home for about an hour when we had to leave to go to our old stomping grounds for wings nite. I got 10 and didn't know Rich also got 10 - he doesn't eat them - got them for me. I ate 6 then had to put them in the little fridge in the garage as the one in the kitchen is packed! No rain today but 90% tomorrow - of course when we are gong to the post - but hey - what's a little rain, right? Good for the grass ad flowers. At least I won't have to water. But I can't get my plants in the ground either. Hope they'll be ok. Have a great Friday. Hugs, Wendy
I awoke to such beautiful colors in the sky. I had to hurry to catch the rays before the colors disappeared. The cooler temperatures seem to make such a difference.
I even went out to the front today to get a different view of God's painting. I noticed a limb on the tree near the mailbox was broken at the base of the tree because of all our high winds.
So a combination of the cooler temperatures and a broken limb lead to trimming the tallest tree in our yard. We hate to have to duck when cutting the yard on the riding mower.
As we keep cutting off the lower limbs, we have to keep using a taller ladder. Glad our grands keep growing taller so they can still reach a limb to climb the trees. It is always nice to have tall friends and family too. Thanks for being such a good friend, Cheryl.
Hey Cheryl - was 68 and another rainy day - but I'm pretty sure the un will be out tomorrow. Had my physical today with the PA and she took alot of time with me, refilled all my meds and gave me a script for Motrin 800 for the pain in my hip. Really hurting today cause of the PT yesterday and widll have it again tomorrow but between the motrin, a hot shower and a good sleep, I'll be ok tomorrow. I'll have the girl, so she never workds me as hard as the main guy. Hope you had a nice day and the sun was out shining brightly just for you! Have a good nite and a sweet Thursday! Hugs Wendy
I know it is after NooN but what a good morning we had. First was last night, rain was predicted for us the last 3 days and lots of areas around DFW got 3" or more of rain before we even got one drop. But after 10 pm the rain started and we ended up with just over 1". I don't have to water today and my buckets are full of runoff rain.
Yes, this morning I have a big smile on my face. Texas Longhorns baseball won the first game of the Big 12 Playoff. Now if we can just keep up the great pitching and batting! And tomorrow the Texas Longhorns girls softball start Regional Playoffs as the boys will have another game too.
Of course I am also kind of sad today. It is Nicole's last day of middle school. This afternoon she will be a High Schooler. Oh no! However, we are so proud of her and her sister this year for all their awards and achievements.
Evening Cheryl.........Had my PT today - went well and still don't feel bad but tomorrow will tell the story. After that I stopped at Walmart for 3 things - can you say $59.50 later? I hope things wil not come to that - meaning just buying 3 things!! My gran called me really upset at something that happened at the her dentist today and was on the phone with her for at least an hour trying to calm her down. Dinner was only leftover London broil sandwiches and tomato, cuke & onion salad. Good enough. We got rain off and on today - so I didn't need to water the plants. Temps down to 68. Sorry to hear about your mower - hope you got the belt replaced and the rest of the yard mowed before the rains came. Have doctor's appointment tomorrow - just annual PE. Take care and enjoy your evening. Hugs, Wendy
Hubby trimmed plants (yaupon) and I trimmed the low branches on a crape myrtle tree and a juniper tree. We are still waiting on the promised 95% chance of rain, it is getting closer to us.
As soon as I get my shower, I think I will read my Romantic Comedy by Emma St. Clair, "the Buy-In". Laughter is good for the soul and this book about a small town is funny. So...
