Sunday's Lesson

 

Simple Saturday

Found something "new" for me to do at home...since I've been so busy I decided it was time to find something I could do during commercials, us older folks need to stay flexible. 

Date date with my Mr...enjoying all the Saturday's we have off before my race season really kicks in & before he goes back to work.

 

Thursday Thoughts

 

I THOUGHT I had the living room picked up...guess I Thought wrong, 😂!

THIS.. I'm coming to terms with myself about how hard I've worked to better myself. A "few friends" are showing true colors. Well I'm almost 70 years old, and I have no time or desire to just sit around waiting for people to decide they have time for me. All the canceled plans just gives me more reflections of true colors. 

Just a Busy Day...

The look...routine morning stuff done, BJB Kick-off mtg,Auxiliary training, Mahjongg with Gal Pal's, then you realize there's still more January days...[sigh]

Yes, my schedule is full, 

Yes, it's my fault, 

It's fine...I'm fine...

 

Welcome Back Mr President

 

Happy Homemaker Monday 1-20-25 + MLK Day + Inaugural Day

 

Blessings to all of us with Dreams...

 

We Officially have a new President & Vice-President...
