I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
there was a good story on the daily mail today about a lady whos daughter was burned to a crisp in an automobile . the lady encouraged her daughter to give it up and her daughter promptly did just that .
your mothers death wont bring you instant peace but i think youll appreciate that she will have found peace . a longer life for my mom wouldnt have been pretty with a cancerous mass on one of her kidneys and total blindness was inevitable .
a woman at the tobacco store tickled me the most . she wanted to know why my nails were painted . when i told her i was just havin a little fun out of my aunt the lady said she knew there was a plausible reason . shes known me for a lot of years .
this gender equality thing isnt going to end well for the women . theyre gonna end up fighting wars and repairing forklifts all day while the neighborhood men all sit in one house smoking weed and telling each other how bad our wives suck .
Now this was at least 2 years ago when all the siblings talked/hung out on a semi regular basis. Every occasion was Christmas. Mom didn't care my brothers ( or whomever) was coming over, it just mean Christmas Time (happy time). This was mom's most significant last remaining family memory. Least that's what I like to imagine!
She's been on a mission for hours now.... oh yeah, she had a nice dinner plus her shake, topped off with 2 ice cream bars.
She just asked me what my name was... I said "George". haha, she said
"George Smith"?.... don't tell me she's not always here... that's my spunky mother I know! Of course she soon said she had no clue who I was nor whom George Smith is. I think I might like this George Smith person ;)
What color nail polish are you sportin these days? Hopefully Spring colors!
hmmm. took me a while to figure that one out . it was a cracked out brawl and theydda both went to jail . lol
hope.... hey girl, how are you and mama doing? Did the weather subside a bit?
Katie... very sorry for your loss. This weather has been a tad rather too treacherous .... (((hugs))) laughing is good for the soul :) We need more laughter in our lives!
Another glorious day here... what the hell is going on with our weather?? Not complaining but wow.... we've not really had winter? We can't even start spring planting for several more months. Sigh... Mother Nature is teasing us here in the PNW and blasting y'all in the North! hang tight... it has to end ...eventually :))))
I have no whine at all today... it's been nice n quiet. Mom had a big brunch plus 2 of my homemade shakes. Then napped for a few hours. She's up now and I have her playing with the towels (again)... I have to keep her awake for the remainder of the night or else we are in big trouble!
Well, I see the winter advisories continuing..they keep saying snow/ice, then talk like it is not coming like they thought, then it is then it's not...oh well, we're set here whichever way it goes...Mama is all fluffed up and enjoying herself..she isn't talking today either, but I have caught her watching her balloon that I have tied on her bed rail...she likes her Valentine prizes...so that makes me happy.
Brother normally comes on Sunday so I went on and made a pot of fresh coffee...but so far no sign of him, so he may not be coming...and if he's not, Sunday is the one day I like to just put my feet up with my blanket and watch a good movie...ah well...I guess I can do that anyway and if he comes he comes...
10 yrs ago i was laying foundations of 8 - 900 block by myself . not any more . i just work for people for a real reasonable hourly wage , knowing my productivity isnt what it used to be . i told a va doc once that i was wearing down in only 5 - 6 hours of work . he reminded me that generally a marathon is only 4 hrs long .
my pc blew up nearly a year ago and wiped out 15 yrs of product pictures . good . they made me tired just looking at them and remembering the hard labor involved .
if things go well im the stone mason and firewood cutter on the ranch im working at until i can draw ss and beyond . doc plans 2 more homes for family members in the future , all with varying amounts of stonework on them .
Hope there are days I want your brothers phone # and give him a taking too about your life.
Capt we cut our own firewood, I have helped with all our remodeling, I have a large yard and garden plus my landscaping business so I am well accustomed to hard work. the property we bought next door needs major work on removing scrubby trees I am planning a pumpkin patch already not counting the work the existing garage needs. I am tired already just thinking about it.
We have a GIANT wild cherry tree that buts up against our fence... this thing is huge and it houses a kathousand little birds, which are worse than roosters in the mornings... plus one of the little buggers has had a nest against my bedroom window for two years... chirp chirp chirp, feed me, feed me... gads I love springtime!
Well... mom got tired of my youtube songs so I think she will be asleep shortly. Had her working (cautiously) outside today, just too nice for her to be inside. She can fold towels outdoors.
Wow... cooking IS something we do for other people. Blast.
I'd love to see what this stone work looks like or something to go by?
dee ,
i beat the birds to 11 quarts of cherries last year and used them up in no time on single serving pastries .
i was just reading the other day about how your tastes in everything change as you get older . thats about where im at . 56 yrs old and the things i used to enjoy are in the past . never in my life envisioned myself anywhere near agriculture but i haveta admit im rather fascinated with this startup angus ranch ive been working on and around for the last year . as long as they keep those filthy cows away from my pretty stonework we'll all get along .
