A Frantic -NO- a Fun Friday

I can't believe that it is already another Friday! I understand why Kendra (see Kendra's blog) and others get all excited about this day because I used to do the same; however, since I retired in June, 2000, everyday is Friday...or Saturday...or Sunday...or whatever day I want it to be!! I love it! There is one drawback, however: knowing just what day it really is! That still becomes important when you have a doctor's or some other appointment. My mom used to tell me that she had to keep getting the newspaper whether she read it or not. She always looked to see the true date and she would laugh and say she had to read the obits to make sure her name wasn't there. For me, I use the newspaper, the computer or my telephone to tell me the exact day and date. My hubby says it really doesn't matter to him because if he absolutely needs to know he will ask me (And, he expects me to know those things).

Today has been a very busy day. I'm on a committe to select furniture for our church fellowship hall and we met this morning. Then my good friend, Elsie, and I had to make our weekly trip for our burger at this special restaurant. Later, it was on to the beauty shop to get a make-over. I stopped by the home of my grandchildren's sitter in hopes to see them since I knew that I wouldn't see them otherwise, but, alas, they were already gone. Hopefully, I will see them tomorrow. I love to sit and watch them; they really tickle me with their antics. Clay is doing this "rescue anyone in trouble" thing and he is so cute! He jumps up onto the rocking chair, does this cute movement (like driving) with his hands, jumps down, spins around, then comes running to the rescue (usually to rescue Livvy's doll which is often thrown down somewhere on its head)! Imaginations are rampart in 2- and 3-year olds. If you haven't ever enjoyed watching children in this age bracket, I strongly recommend it. It's much more entertaining than television!

Tonight, Don and I had dinner at a nearby restaurant with my lifelong friends, Rob and Fran and their grandson, Charles. This was a fun night, one that we have traditionally enjoyed for at least 20 years. I hope that all of you readers have such friends with whom you will be able to enjoy spending time. We can tell you many funny stories, sad stories, and just plain silly stories from the past. Recalling those times is a real treat. I wish for you the same future filled with fun!
