First off, some cute cat memes that a friend sent me. I had my second COVID vaccine yesterday. So far, no significant side effects, although my arm is much sorer than with the first shot, but no flu-like symptoms. Messages about wearing masks, or not, are all over the place now and very contradictory depending …
Before I turn the blog over to Slim Randles, who’s here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, I want to give a shout out to one of my sisters who’s celebrating a birthday today. She’s two years older than me, so she’s officially older than dirt. Parse that one out a bit. LOL I love that picture …
First up a word of caution for my friends and relatives in Texas. Just because our governor ended the mandatory mask requirement in public – despite the advice of medical experts – this is not the time to relax our safety precautions, especially for the next couple of months. Texas is still the lowest on …
The kitten has nothing to do with today’s post. I just love the meme. I dare you not to smile when you see it. Double dare you. 🙂 Before I turn the blog stage over to Slim Randles and the gang down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, I want to acknowledge the glimmer of …
When I was a child, we would often go to West Virginia for Thanksgiving. My father would feel the pull to visit his childhood home, and his kinfolk, and my sister and I would go every other year, as dictated in divorce papers. Back then, I didn’t know about divorce papers, or what my mother …
Well, I did manage to drum up a little bit of a patriotic attitude for my birthday. I dressed in red white and blue. 🙂 And even though I’d been thinking I might be alone on the Fourth, I ended up having some company, which brightened the day considerably. The morning started with a trip …
Good Monday morning. I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did. I worked a bit on my WIP, then did some coloring and quilting. This is a panel for the quilt I’m making for my granddaughter. The center piece is from one of her t-shirts, and the two side pieces I made from material …
Saturday was the official graduation day for my youngest granddaughter in Austin Texas. She’s the last of the grandkids to graduate from high school, and her graduation is so different on so many levels from her cousins. First of all, there was no traditional ceremony in an auditorium where all the kids gathered to sweat …
Today, I’m thinking about the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” “Come Monday It’ll be all right, Come Monday I’ll be holding you tight. I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze And I just want you back by my side.” I used to be able to do a fair rendition of the song …
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I certainly did. Saturday and Sunday I was able to see some of my kids in person. We didn’t touch. We stayed 3-6 feet apart. We didn’t hug. But we could chat and enjoy the pretty weather here in NE Texas out on my deck. It was so …
