@MusicCandy @SadMe70 New place to communicate
@MusicCandy Hi! I decided it was easier to just start a new thread. I can't figure out the old one.
I am headed to my mom's tomorrow until Sunday night. Today is the fifth anniversary of dad's death. I couldn't get up there today, so it's the first time I won't be with her on the actual day. I won't be on here this weekend, so I'm writing this on Wednesday.
Yesterday I made my first trip to the mountains in a long time. I hiked to Mary's Rock. It was not crowded and was great weather. It was kind of funny hiking in a t-shirt with snow on the ground!
Today we are celebrating my DIL's birthday. The actual day is Saturday but I'll be at mom's. I am going to make the Korean dessert that I made for New Year's, since their dog ate all the leftovers and she didn't get to try much of it. Then I have some cleaning to do, and some errands to run, and then pick her up 45 min away because my son is here at work near our house. I'm going early enough to drop by my other son's house first to meet his new dog. He and his fiancee are adopting a 2 year old. I need to do laundry to prepare for my trip, and need to write detailed instructions for my pet sitters. I have an old note to work from, but I have a new lady coming one day and I need to make it extra-detailed for her. She is a pet sitting company, so it will cost me, but I need another person in my rotation of feeders. So it's a busy day today!
I am grateful for my spring break this week that allows me to do all these things. I spent the weekend doing very little because I knew the rest of the week would be very busy! I don't like getting home the evening before I have to go back to work, since I won't get laundry, shopping, or cooking done, but it couldn't be helped!
I hope the new thread works out, and that I tagged you correctly so you will see it!
I hope your week has gone well, and here's to five more years of messages to come!
Wow that IS big news. Maybe she is turning over a new leaf, or something. Staying at your house part of the time would save some money, but I don't know if she is planning to chip in on the expense or not .At least, you will have more time with them, and they should be really fun now that they are older. a lot of details, but time to get it all worked out. I pray it al goes smoothly, and bonus for getting the room cleaned out, and dare him to mess it up again.
The Ladies Tea was wonderful! We had 7 guests and a couple also who couldn't make it. I had barely set up enough place settings and tea cups. The lady I often spar with on decor, had some she let us use and it was so pretty seeing the china cups on the lace, It was as successful s it could be, for a change. The Vestry young lady will be great too, she is African American and we have another African American gentleman who came on and he was an engineer, both very smart. The make up of the Vestry is now more representative of the congregation, and that is good. I think it will be a better year overall.
Well, a patient popped up. We are trying to take a tour of a new Day support near us, so fingers crossed. More snow, grr. Have a relaxing time wit your mom and we will check back in later, my friend.
