So lazy

Shame on me for never posting. I spend enough time on the computer. I just don't hop over here. Need to do better. It's either here or pen and paper. I have to write down our wonderful adventures!

My new goal

I am going to try to be as nice, kind, giving, and caring as the Kennedys.

So, this is summer

I don't mind the mid-to-high 70 degree days, but water, water everywhere! Of the last 43 days, we've had some amount of rain 29 of those days. It has been so cool and rainy that we haven't even gotten out our patio table. The umbrella isn't waterproof enough! There is promise that in a couple of weeks we'll have summer weather. I just wonder if maybe summer will carry into the autumn season.

I dropped a bed on my toe

Yes, I did. I was moving a bed to rearrange a room and this big, heavy wooden frame landed on my big toe. My first thought was blood, then no toe nail. But, there was no blood. I really don't think I even broke it. It turned purple very quickly and hurt like crazy. I was supposed to get a pedicure the following day but thought better of it. When I got there to have my nails done, they talked me into it. It didn't hurt and of course I loved the pedicure. I think the polish helps to hide the real mess.

I need a new dictionary

What does the word "stop" mean? The past week I have seen at least 10 drivers drive up to a stop sign and keep right on going. Some of them don't even slow down. I've heard of the "rolling stop" where the driver slows down to a crawl and doesn't come to a complete stop, but this is just dangerous. I only pray no one I love or know is the recipient of one of these non-stop violations.

Is it my fault?

Maybe if I change my background design it will stop raining. The problem is, I don't know how to do it!

How can I be so busy?

I thought that when I retired I'd have a life of leisure. It seemed that way for a couple of years, but now we are so busy I find myself in stress! I had a phone call the other day and the person asked me if I am gearing up for the big July 4th celebration in Hamilton. When I said not yet, he asked if I am a party pooper. I told him that I had a scrap day on Saturday, baby sitting on Monday, doll class on Tuesday, my niece's graduation on Thursday, her party on Friday, relatives visiting from Sunday to Sunday, an endoscopy on a Tuesday. Then maybe I could think about the 4th of July. I need to convince myself that being busy beats the alternative!
