(These poppies were in my garden and I decided after the -14 degree temp this morning, that a nice summer flower was just what was in order!)
So, can someone please explain to me why when one day you pull your hair back in a pony tail and three grey hairs pop out on the side where there were none the day before? Can you explain to me why the daughter of a co-worker suddenly is old enough to drink beer? I mean she was just ten a while ago! I mean, come on, what gives? The kids I baby sat for are married with their own children. My nephews are in high school and I can still remember when they were born. Now, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I'm not having mood swings like my friend's wife, issues with sleeping through the night, and migraines, yes. This aging thing sucks. and that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

A shout out to my dad in sunny Florida! I'm sure he wishes that he were here in this cold!

One would really wonder if I actually know how to have fun. This week I took some vacation time and I'm spending it cleaning house. Today I cleaned that very scary part of the kitchen - above the cabinets where all the dust, grease, and stuff collects. Let's just say it, it's gross! I did that and washed all the cabinets and then polished them with cabinet polish. Took me all day! I then washed all the stuff that I display on top of the cabinets. (decorative pitchers, antique ball jars etc.) I then vacuumed the floor and scrubbed the floor on my hands and knees as my mother taught me. Tomorrow the bedroom, closet, and bathroom! Yippie!
