Exhausting WeekEnd



It's Day 3 of a 4 day holiday weekend and I'm mentally and physically exhausted.    Either Tom, myself or both of us have attended 4  funerals and 1 graduation in the last 72 hours.  I'm funeral'd out, to say the least.

Friday and Saturday were not very productive days other than funerals. T and I did the yearly trek down to Ypsilanti to spruce up the graves of my paternal grandparents, Aunt Nanny and Uncle Jr  There wasn't much to do so the main event was having burgers and beers at the Ypsilanti bar.  It was a good time, as always.  This year my sister Peggy couldn't be with us.  My brother Ron, surprised us girls with a memory bear made from clothing of his late wife, Pearl.   He said, "you know, she kind liked you girls.  She was closer to all of you than she was to her own sisters."   I cried.  What a treasure!!   And it will be treasured with all my heart.

 Today started out a rainy day so I got up and busted my ass at the gym.  It felt good.   I did one of the workouts my trainer sent to me this week.  Tomorrow, if it's  raining, I will go to the gym and do another one.  If it's not raining, this girl will be out on the bike.  I have a long ride planned for myself tomorrow and hopefully I get can get out there early before the heat hits. 

I was able to clean house today, detail my car (of it's winter grime), do two loads of laundry, start organizing my office, went to a high school graduation and made chili dogs for supper.  T didn't say much, so I don't know if he liked it.  It wasn't the normal meat and potatoes fare and he was less than enthusiastic, so I'd say that was all the answer I needed.  hahaha  :)

Everything else seems to be going ok.  I'm looking forward to the summer.  I have my stack of books ready to be read, my wine rack is stocked, and I'm officially putting my inside projects on hold until next fall.   It's going to be my summer.

That definitely was a lot of funerals that you recently attended, Sherry. Hopefully you can find another hobby soon. :-)

Yup, summer is definitely here - 90F weather, rain and wind storms as well here where we live. While you were at the gym, me and my neighbour buddy were pulling out 3 backyard broken fence posts and repairing 25 feet of fencing. Great fun in the recent heat (not!). Oh well, it beats freezing my buns off during our past winter.

Have a fun long weekend. We up here in Canada celebrated ours last weekend. And, oh yes, my wine rack is filled up as well, along with much Kindle e-reading ahead this summer.

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
