why do I keep trying........?

I guess I keep hoping that my husband will sit down with me just to be near to me, and enjoy something I enjoy on the tele(love English words!). I don't know why I keep trying, it's just not going to happen.

Now, I understand it to some degree, so tonight I found a show (Psych)that is so outrageously silly that I thought he'd enjoy it enough to stay on the couch. Nope. He got up and started spinning,(yarn) like maybe that would make it alittle easier to stand it???

Some background: My Manly Man worked for the F.B.I. for 22 yrs. as an agent. Any show about FBI, Police, Military.....lets see did I leave anything out, he can't sit there and just watch. He has to yell (well, speak loudly) that , they never do, say, or act like they portray.

Then it's my turn to say, " Honey, you know if they portrayed it like it really is everyone would fall asleep."

So, it looks like I'll never sit and watch a show with my Manly Man until I stop watching all my detective shows. Oh, an did I say , he hates lawyer shows also!

    Introduce him to CRICKET, Linda. He'd fall asleep and keep you company.

    Bisou, Cro.

    Yeah, and you could spend the rest of your married life wishing that he should know what you like and should do it (from the wonderful teachings of Dr. Lund-a great LDS speaker but great for anyone to hear). Just doesn't happen. Drat. I know what you mean. No one at my house will watch my shows I'm interested in either. I take it back. They will for a little bit and then they drift away (my husband and son).

    well, at least I'm not the only one! I was reasurred by something I read about Carolyn Pearson, who I admire very much. She said her and her husband watch tv on different floors and if their watching sporting events they pound on the floor when their team does well. Made me laugh!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
