R.I.P my Sweet Boy

 Not what I expected when I got home from errands this morning...

Happy Homemaker Monday 2-24-25

 

Yet here we are...[sigh]

Over the weekend I was tagged in a social media post about joining the Fifty States Half Marathon Club...🤔Hmmm🤔, and I'm really giving it some thought, and this might be a birthday gift to myself. Training miles increases next month, which if you notice is only in a few days!

Thursday Thoughts

 

8am temps...and going down more as the day went on...

Went "pantry" shopping for a few restock items...

9am current temp 12°...

A little breakfast...

Few Words Wednesday

 3:30am

vs 8:am

I really thought we'd get more...

Temps were single digits for a while, that still didn't stop me...

Because 🠋

A Runners Mom and More

Tuesday Tidbits

 Quite the day today...a few household chores/daily routine before heading to Ribbon cutting

My FIRST as a Board of Director !

There I am on the left side...I wasn't going to,but was encouraged to get in the photo. Go Me! I have my first BOD meeting tomorrow..

After the ribbon cutting, I went and picked up the G'kid for a late lunch and go get her 'calm the nerves' meds for upcoming wisdom teeth surgery. Hopefully they'll have a cancelation and get her in soon. As of now the appointment is when her mom and I are gone, so SIL aka Dad is in charge. 

Later this evening, the Mr and I went to a Black History program called Poetry & Wellness.

The program started with the African American Allegiance song by the 'Cousins'

They're also in my church lady's choir.

Local heart surgeon ''Dr O'' was guest speaker talking about heart health in the African American/Hispanic vs Caucasian community...

I wish we would have had him as heart Doc when the Mr went through all his stuff last year...

The Poetry portion was from one of 'our own' Frank X Walker.

He is a Danville native and DHS alumni. His first poem read was in honor of his Grandmother. Much respect to him for leading with that. Then his final was poem call Ken*TUCK*y. 

The program ended with Danville Mayor and my friend JH Atkins saying a few words and thanking everyone for taking the time to attend.

Another Busy but Productive day in my Life...and I wouldn't want it any other way!

Sunday Re-Set

Boy did I get some comments about this when I posted on my socials...

Working on these things today...

Woke up to rain, then sleet, then snow flurries...

Still made it to Church though there wasn't many in attendance...

A bit of accumulation...

Temps fell about 5° per hour from this morning...

I still wanted to get out of the house, 1.2miles for streak day 261.

With all the rain we've got the basement has taken on some water,

My Bissell 'aka Betty' has always done a great job [over the years]

but today she died...😢 

And this squeegee isn't up to the job...Oh well I've wanted to pull up the rugs and replace with some kind of snap-in floor covering.
