Saturdays Happenings

Had a very nice day with family yesterday. It was a celebration of granddaughters 11th birthday. We had a good visit, laughter, dinner and of course a good piece of birthday cake. For dinner we went to a Japanese restaurant. It was very yummy!! Of course I had something with veggies, and no rice, so even though I had a piece of the delicious birthday cake my blood sugar was fine this morning!! Yea for me! Took some pictures, although some were not too good, because I had put it on the wrong setting. That's what happens when your eyesight gets bad! Don't know when I did it, but saw it when I was putting the pictures on the net. :-( Will watch closer next time! I did get enough good ones though, so it was not a complete loss. :-) Granddaughter liked her gifts, and so that was a good !! I will have to go back soon and see how one of them looks on her bed. It does get harder as they get older, as their tastes change. Oh, for the days when they were excited about just about anything!! It rained hard last night, and windy too. Cold again even though the sun finally came out. Is it really spring? Feels like winter. Hopefully it didn't due harm to my lilacs and other flowers that were just coming out!! I am ready for some warmer weather so I can clear out a room that is much too cluttered. I can hardly wait, want the hallways painted too. If not done by my husband and myself, then I will hire someone. It has to be done, and not any later than springtime, oh yes, that's now!! But it much too cool to leave the windows and doors open to air when we do paint. So guess you could say I am rushing the days by, and I am always saying how time goes by too quickly. Can't win can I?!!! Well, must get a letter written so I can send it off on Monday with a package. So
Ta Ta for now. Antique Rose

Rain

The rain has been coming down for several days now, I fear my Dahlias are not fairing so well, I can see the future now, will be digging the old bulbs up and replanting them. I guess I should have been more patient and known that there would be more wet weather when I planted them, but we had a few beautiful spring like days, and the gardener in me just had to plant something. I guess I will just have to smile and redo. Unless, maybe, could be that they are just waiting for that period of sunny days ahead to pop up. I guess I can hope, after all I am an optimistic person. Yes I think I will go that route, why not, if it doesn't happen, I won't fret. Actually waking up this morning, listening to the pitter patter of the rain was quite pleasant until I realized that I had not set the alarm for that 5 AM wake up call, was running late the rest of the morning. I did get a nice walk however before the real heavy rain began again.Lucky me. I feel much better when I get that in and start the day refreshed and feeling active. I could go to the mall of course, but I can't seem to breathe right in the indoors, too stuffy for me. Well, the week will be half over tomorrow once more, and the week-end promises to be dry, so I may have some trips, or thrifts to go too, and who knows what I will find. Another rose plate, picture, or perhaps something entirely new to collect. One never knows, does one??? Ta Ta Antique Rose
