My lucky day!

As I pulled out onto the highway right outside our driveway I was stressing if I'd get to my eye appointment on time. I had bought something on Marketplace and needed to get cash before I picked it. A few miles out I realized I'd forgotten my glasses that needed adjusting. Finding a place to turn around I headed back home and picked up my glasses. Now, I was really stressed. I kinda sped out of the driveway and hurried on my way. The trip to Moscow is honestly one of the prettiest 15 miles ever. Beautiful rolling hills with snow topped mountains in the distance and I'm usually going too slow and hate when cars push me to go faster. Well not today. Not more then a couple miles from our house I looked in the mirror and saw lights flashing. "Ma'am did you know you were going 65 in a 55 speed zone?" I explained to him the circumstances and told him how sorry I was (and I was!). He cautioned me and said since it was almost my birthday he'd just give me a warning. He was SO nice! I really was stressed for no reason because I still made it to my appointment and was even alittle early.
Lesson learned........if your going to be late, just be late! Don't speed!

    I know that stress of getting to an appointment on time. However, after I get there there is usually at least a ten minute wait till I am brought into a cold room and then another ten minutes before I see the doctor. I am glad that the policeman was in a generous and kind mood that day.

 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
