Hi Good Buddies,
Today was quite an active day. Went to church. Made lunch for DS#1 & his DS. They were working in DH's workshop while we were at church. Then we drove to Leamington to pick apples with 3 of my siblings & family. We make that a yearly event. Then we ate at a restaurant. Not much for me there so I had a chicken Caesar. Had to pick the croutons off. (Forgot to tell them, no croutons). The long walks in the orchard & cool fresh air, made me snooze on the way home.
This coming week will be a true test of my courage & strength. Tuesday, is my usual lunch with my friends. No big deal. Thursday, a cousin get together for dinner. Friday, a turkey dinner with DH's family. You'd think it was the hustle & bustle of the Xmas season. So counting from last night, that's 5 dinners out within one week! Wish me luck. I won't rely on luck ... it will be pure strategy all the way.
Patti ... is there a famous person named Patti Bell ... a singer, perhaps? Pardon the expression, but it does seem to ring a bell! OK ... I know what you mean about junk & processed foods. There is so much of it here in North America.
Debbie ... I'm sporadic about organization. It gets to a point where I say enough is enough. Right now, I'm not at that point. It's abundant energy that needs to be spent. Things like that used to be a CHORE for me. Did it because I HAD to. Lately, it's no chore. It's a fun challenge. It's a sign of feeling groovy. When it comes to outdoor work, I'm not into it. I was raised on a farm where my summers were hoe, hoe ,hoe, & it's not Merry Xmas. I picked tomatoes, topped sugar beets, pulled weeds. It was endless. I hated it! It's total fun for my DH though! Thank goodness! We have a huge yard!
Nadeen ... How's it going? Have you been fishing lately?
Marilyn ... Said it all to ya in an email. Did you finish that wall hanging?
Later taters,
Marianne
