Observations on Growing Older, continued…

A little wisdom in honor of my baby sister, whose birthday is today.  Nan, you might as well start now to get prepared for the big one next year:

~ Everybody whispers.  

~ Your “get up and go” has “got up and gone.”
 
~ You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet...2 of which you will never wear.

~ You begin to wonder about the “here after,” but it is more likely to be in a room wondering -  what am I here after?

~ But old is good in some things:

old songs,
old movies,
And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!

And another that I shall add to that list - a baby sister who is aging right along with me.

Happy birthday, sweetie!  Here’s cake for everyone…enjoy!!!

Monkey Man

Only because someone called on the phone for Dick did I discover that my idiot of a hubby was up on the freaking roof! 

Mr. No Fear was taking down a scaffolding that has been up for what? three years or more???  This is the man with two bad knees who is also TOO OLD to be up climbing on any roof anywhere!  Sheesh.

I have told him many times that if  he kills himself doing something stupid, he is NOT gonna Rest In Peace because I will be too mad at him.  So there.  (I did stay outside until he was safely down.) 

Time to check my list:

Fried chicken is ordered for the RV meeting tomorrow.  Check.

Roster is copying, then will be stapled.  Check.

Baskets, serving/eating utensils.  Check

Plates, cups.  Check.

Agenda.  Oops, not finished…but it will be.

Let’s see now…Haley’s scrapbook open house tonight, RV meeting Saturday, Haley’s card class on Sunday afternoon. 

That’s about it for our weekend.  How’s yours looking?

Mystery solved!

See, it wasn’t an ark after all.  Not that we would have a need for one around here, as dry as it is. 

MM thinks he is going to have some sweet dreams in his “new” hammock.  All he needs is a pillow, he says.  I think I can arrange that for him. 

Empress Bee, there is no beyonce the big metal chicken around here anywhere!  Click there if you want to read a funny story.

But, I could probably go for that cute deer I posted yesterday.  Yes, it is a muffler for the seat, stainless steel, so it won’t rust.  My friend Dinah has this cute little number at their place on a nearby lake, and she uses it as a bench for when she is cooking on the grill.  She told MM that he ought to make one for me.  He probably could, if he put his mind to it.

Look at that little deer eyeball.  I tried to get up close (using my iPhone), but it doesn’t show up as well as it should, but that is a large marble!  Quite clever.  This guy sure has a nice view.  If he could only see!

Boy is it hot.  My car registered 93 today, and I am definitely not talking about MPH either.  Fortunately, it cools down at night, and for that we are grateful.  Very grateful.

Enjoy your day.  Stay cool and hydrated, y’all!

Wordless Wednesday–MM’s new project

Tuesday stuff

In case you don’t want to biggify the photo, it is the one and only bumper sticker on our moho:

Squandering the Kids’ Inheritance

This is to remind me of WHY we are not fully retired.  We still work so that we can go play.  And reminds me of the reason for all this paperwork spread out here on my desk.  We have a busy week ahead, getting organized for the annual meeting with the folks at our RV park this weekend.  We’ll be ready, and git-er-done.  And there will be food!

Raise your hand if you enjoy a good massage.  I had a great one last night from a student at the local tech school.  I opted for a shower first after getting home late, and never made it  upstairs to do my normal nightly pre-post…can you say L-A-Z-Y?  I was in the zone, so I simply zoned on out!

More of the same today, but I’m making progress.  And we may get rain.  We sure need it.

That’s it from Mayberry today.  I hope your day is as great as you want it to be!

Life is good, y’all!

Sweet birthday boy!

Well, he hasn’t been a ‘boy’ for quite some time, but he is still my very own sweetie pie son.  And always will be.

Faith put together a nice cookout for Brian yesterday, and invited us and his siblings to celebrate Brian’s birthday…a day early.

There was much enthusiasm and drama for the traditional birthday song…

 

 

Fine job of blowing out the candles there, Unka Brian.  Now let’s get to the eating part!  We’ve got some hungry boys and girls who need CAKE!

Hmm good!  And there were TWO cakes!

Birthdays sure are a lot of fun, especially to the short kiddos.

Happy birthday, honey.  Dad and I love you bunches!!!
