Weekend Happenings.

Started off the weekend by sleeping in, and then going to McD's for breakfast. Try to get something different than the bowl of oatmeal I eat all week. :-) Tasted extra good today!! Came home and worked in the backyard, pulling weeds, trimming old dead flowers, and laundry all at the same time. Got the old green bin quite full, so stopped and finished some of the other tasks of the day. Got my hair washed and then showered. Ready for the rest of the day. Hey, got a call from my granddaughter from North Carolina. They are getting ready for a long flight on Monday to Japan!! Her husband has been transferred there for a three year period! It was so nice hearing from her. :-) I had been thinking of them all day, knowing that they were leaving soon. I know that they will be having quite the adventure there. I hope that she gets to work at the library as she would like that very much. She will keep a journal for all the different things that happen. That will be nice, she won't forget things that way. Not that she would, but as I get older, if I don't write things down once in a while, I forget some things that happen day to day. Just a fact of life!!! I have been checking on the son's cat while they are camping. She was happy to see us today, and liked the cat treats that hubby brought to her. He is such a softy!!! Seems like it got hotter as the day went by, you can smell smoke from all the fires around the area too.
I hope that they can contain them soon. Not a healthy at all for those folks with asthma and other ailments. I also heard from my grandson, who is in New York to go to school, so that was special as well. As they get older and have busy lives of their own, they don't email as much. :-( Just happy that they are all well, and happy!!!!!!!! Antique Rose

  2. Thanks for signing as a follower on my blog...I've done the same as we seem to have a lot in common. My granddaughter just returned from two years in the Peace Corp in Jordan so I know it's hard to have them so far away! Hope your granddaughter loves Japan! The world is so different from when we grew up, isn't it! Have a lovely day!

  3. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy my blog! I am new at this, and haven't mastered all the ins and outs of it, but it helps me with the everyday happenings. As putting things down in black and white, show me what a great life and family I have. Sometimes we forget and feel sorry for ourselves, thinking that things are going as planned.:-) Antique Rose
