Let the good times roll

Thank you for your comments on yesterday’s post. I can’t tell you enough how surprised I always am when I hear some of the things you say, especially when I almost pull a post after hitting ‘publish’. I don’t want to sound down or melancholy, but such is life sometimes, isn’t it?

So here’s to rustic bird feeders, the blues in January, poems by A.A. Milne, and most of all – to you. Here’s to you, my friends.

And since this is a random post where I’m just popping in to say hello, I give you in no particular order, some thoughts on today.





1. I took some photos of George rolling in the grass this weekend. And I made an ad out of it. I like it, although I have no idea what to do with it now.


2. Tonight I served pork chops, long-grain wild rice, applesauce, and green beans for dinner. And my husband did not eat just toast. This small thing made me so happy.


3. Our local MVA is where I spent some time this afternoon, correcting another mistake made not by yours truly, but by them. I’m figuring that the 3rd time’s the charm when it comes to changing my husband’s driver’s license. I think the fact that he had a CDL when I first changed it 4 1/2 years ago had something to do with it. It was purely MVA error this last time.


4. I love {this movie} and it’s a classic. If you haven’t seen it, I want to ask you what is wrong with you. But I’m too polite and will only think it, instead.


5. My new favorite obsession is a PBS show called Downton Abbey. I first heard about it on the national news Sunday night and then watched the first episode of the second season. And now I’m getting caught up with the entire first season. I can’t tell you how much I love English period pieces and this one is nothing but wonderful. One of the best shows on TV right now, if you ask me.


6. A co-worker was in the hospital this week and I visited him the other night. He’s home now and doing well and today I sent him a picture of what his senior homeroom wrote on the chalkboard on his room. It said that they loved him. And who doesn’t like hearing that?


7. My husband is playing with George. I think those were magic pork chops.


Until tomorrow, my friends . . .
