Late Afternoon!
Cindy and David left a few hours ago because she had to be at work by 5:00 pm. At least we had a breakfast date. Jay was our cook and every one enjoyed it. She did a little posting and a little washing (that is called multi-tasking). When you work like she does that is the only way to get everything accomplished.
Before dinner I decided to set up my next project. I reviewed my floss to see if I had all the colors I needed. I took a quick trip to Fairway in Otisville to obtain the colors I lacked. I started laying them out and numbering them when Jay said the roast was done. So I took time out to make gravy and we ate dinner.
After I got the kitchen cleaned up I came in to check the blogs while the new Eagles Cd played.
I have three newspapers to catch up on and the laying out and numbering of the floss to finish.
Jay gave up the computer and has gone in to lay down a while. Brandy is asleep on the couch and Molly in the Lazy Boy. Spirit is whistling and talking to the music.
I just turned around and started disc 2 of the album with the remote. If you like the Eagles their new CD is $11. and change at Wal Mart exclusively for a two disc set. A lot of mellow sounds along with the regular Eagles style. It is called “A Long Road Out Of Eden” and well worth the money my friend. I find myself rocking gently over the keyboard to the beat of the music!
It is kind of a sweet finish to the weekend that ended my birthday celebrations. Now it is time for the real world again. Write the monthly bills out tonight to go out in the morning mail. Take the garbage done on Monday night. I have an appointment to get my teeth (all six of them) cleaned on Tuesday. Yes Life goes on even if you are a year older and ain’t that great!!!!
Cake Of All Occasions!
I’m not admitting I’m slowing down. I’m just sayin’ it takes some of us a little longer to celebrate a birthday ( that is among other things). For me turning 73 took about 10 days. Not that I’m complaining because any time your children (who are pushing old fartdom themselves) come to visit it is worth every minute of the wait!!!
This time I’m going to tell you about the cake of all occasions.
This mouth watering Chocolate on/in chocolate delight was created by Anne ( my daughter-in-law, wife of SEB, mom to Courtney Jenkins). So you see it doesn’t matter what they call you as long as they call you!!!! They brought KFC ( Kentucky Fried Chicken--I forget you don’t all live in Michigan and may not have one of these ) with all the trimmings for our dinner so it was a very tasty meal.
My gift was this
(I do love that wish list). The sweater book has some delightful items including skirts and dresses in it. Even though it is knitting I can see a few things I would really like to make. I think my days ahead will be filled with many different activities. ( Aw I may have trouble getting my washing, vacuuming, sweeping , and other boring things accomplished). I wonder if I can plead senility!
This morning Child # 3 and hubby are coming for breakfast because she has to work yet today. That completes my birthday wish of having ( my ducks all in a row--no my chickens all in the nest--no) my children all home to see me. I am a happy old broad I’ll tell you!!!
