Sunday Sunday

Didn't sleep well last night (a common happening with me) and really didn't want to get up at 7 a.m. to get ready for church, but I did.
Absolutely a terrific Relief Society lesson, wonderful Sunday School lesson that ended up with half or more of the class weeping.  And then a young returned Navy young man who is now leaving on a mission for The Church of Latter-Day-Saints of Jesus Christ gave a great talk in sacrament meeting.
So glad I made my lazy self get up and get going.
Now that dinner is over, I can be lazy again.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well, I was kinda bored today and decided that I would start up this ol' blog of mine and write what is and isn't interesting about each day that I wake up and start living again.
Today I made 3 batches of cookies.... peanut butter, chocolate chip and white chocolate, crasins with  salty almond cookies.  The last were the best.
I had sweet hubby take a plate with some of each to a couple of neighbors...one who is a druggie alcoholic who needs his sweets and one elderly couple (look who's talkin!).  Then I spent the rest of my day reading and finishing one of my "mindless mysteries". 
I did send a text to my grandson for his birthday today, he's 24 yrs old now.  Wow that makes me feel old!
And I played with our son's dog Tag off and on.  We are babysitting her while they travel to Maine for a vacation.  I did not get invited 
Not to much of a day, but I lived through it and that's a good thing.

Good Bye

Decided to not blog anymore. I have bookmarked the blogs I'm interested in and will check on them but I'm not going to do this anymore. Bye, bye

Why is it??

Why is it that whenever we go on a trip that I am the one who gets the house ready, does all the laundry, makes sure the dog has food and water, the garbage is taken out and that my sweet hubby has everything he needs?
Then I pack the car, the snacks and the beverages, the armrest pillows, the pillows for our beds and a jacket.....just in case?
Just asking ya know!

Getting Old

Yesterday I woke up feeling great and eager for a day of window shopping and possibly purchasing a new dress for church.
Got in my car.....got out and went back in the house for the car keys.
Got in my car....got out and went back in to put the trash out for the collector.
Got in my car and took off.
Got to the library....it was closed for the holiday weekend. Backed up and drove forward 3 times to get close enough to the drive thru book slot.....had to open the door and semi-get out of the car anyway to put the books in the slot.
Took off and drove to Idaho Falls.
Went to the first store and looked all over, put a photo album in the basket, put a dog toy in the basket, put a wall picture in the basket, headed for the cashier. Saw the 2 cashiers and 20 people in line. Left the basket in the store and left!
Went to the second store and looked all over, tried on a blouse.....discovered I'm fatter than I think I am and put the blouse back on the rack and left the store!
Went to the mall. Went up the escalator and clear to the back of the store to the fat lady clothes. Found the dress of my dreams in my size! Looked at the price tag. Put the dress back on the rack and left on the down escalator.
Walked all the way down to the OTHER end of the mall to book store.
Bought way too many books and 3 magazines.
Walked all the way back to the OTHER end of the mall and out to the car!
Drove home
Got out of the car and discovered that my feet hurt so bad I could hardly walk!
Sat in a chair until bed time and hobbled to bed.
Got up this morning, still could hardly walk.
Went to get a drink and sciatica pain in left hip. !@#%#&*@# out of my mouth!!
Spent the day in the chair until hobbling back to the computer.
Made solemn vow to never go shopping all day again.
Amen

I just want to say that I love my sweet hubby!

My sweet hubby can be a stubborn, selfish old man, but he puts up with this stubborn, selfish old woman everyday and is still a sweet, sensitive, caring man.
He is a good father, a patient and loving grandfather.
He is opinionated conservative full blooded patriotic American who takes off his hat and puts his hand over his heart when the flag goes by in a parade.
He is a fanatical, blue blooded, jumping up and screaming BYU Cougars fan who grumbles his way through football season vowing to never watch another game until the season ends and then he can hardly stand it counting the days until football starts again.
He is hard working keeping our cars running, machines working, lawn mowed and fences mended.
He loves animals and won't even kill a spider or ant unless he absolutely has too. He treats his dog better than most people do their kids.
I love and cherish this old man and I thank my lucky stars (or the angels in heaven) who brought us together over 47 years ago. Don't know what I'd do without him.

Awesome!

I found this little book at the library titled "Awesome". It's all about small, insignificant things that are just plain awesome compared to the everyday awfulness that surrounds us in the news.

Like waking up in the middle of a hot night and turning over your pillow and laying down your head on the "new, cool smoothness of the other side of your pillow"

My Awesome moment today was washing all the sheets and pillowcases from the weekend and then hanging them on the clothes line to gently blow dry in the breeze. Taking them down about an hour later and smelling that clean outdoor crispness and folding them right into the laundry basket and placing them in the linen closet and knowing that the next time I change the sheets, we and our guests will be able to enjoy that fresh wonderful smell and feel.

Awesome!
Tell me about your "awesome" moment!
