IT’S MONDAY !!

Back to Work

I had a lovely Sunday and the Birthday celebration continued on.
I heard from DS#2 before I left for church in the morning and then DS#6 and his wife, DS#5 and DD were at church.

DS#5 came here after that to do a few ‘handy man’ jobs that required some attention at my house. He fixed a cupboard door of mine that wasn’t working right and installed the software for the new camera for me.

Then DS#6 and his wife brought lunch over for us and visited for awhile. They then took off for their home. Both my sisters also came over with a little gift and I spent the rest of the afternoon visiting with them.

DS#4 called to say he’d mowed his grass this weekend and it was quite warm there. They went from 5 inches of snow to 80 degrees in one week’s time.

It rained most of the day here but I guess that is better than the big snow we received at this same time last year.

This looks like a busy week for me after work as I have a hair cut on Tuesday evening. I meet with my insurance agent on Wednesday evening as my policy is now paid up and I’m sure they want me to buy more, but I won’t. Thursday evening is Bible Study and Friday evening I may take DD and her hubby up on that offer to buy me dinner out.

It will be a good week but busy.


Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE

My husband, Robert, and I were watching television the last Saturday evening in April. When he went to bed, I stayed up to see the end of a program. Before retiring, I turned the clocks ahead for daylight-saving time.The next morning, the alarm wakened us for early church. When we arrived, it was still dark, and no one was there. "I can't imagine what's wrong," I said. "I turned the clocks ahead.""So did I," Robert quietly replied
