There really is never a dull moment in this house!

 

Do you ever feel like there is just no time for "you"?-

- I guess that is why I sometimes wonder if being a Queen might have  some perks-- When Himself retired, I decided that it would be "me" who climbs out of bed at 5-30am--let him sleep--- and get the Germans (as in dogs)-fed--change their water--  feed the cat, and change her water----plus, I walk Tess, the German who does not want to walk very far anymore--And there are the hummingbirds ----3 feeders to keep full, and one must climb through the bushes to take down those feeders and take your chance with the bees which are all over the feeders this time of year.

I am complaining I guess--Lord love a Duck!  Every morning it is a challenge, and I do it--- part of having pets I guess----and part of living with a 92 yr old husband, who tries his best to keep up with the chores.

One of the Grandchildren  , came up from the basement , the other day, and I heard him say to his Dad, "Dad, you should see Grandpa doing his exercises", and he proceeded to demonstrate all the moves the 92  yr old Grandpa was doing.  He was impressed---So, I know Himself is trying---

Even tho I am not going to be on Spark , I continue to walk---and am tying to eat healthy--Lord love a Duck!--It has been extremely hot  , walking-----but I know I sleep better when I get out there and hoof it up the highway--

Oh no--an alarm is beeping--  and the Germans just came running up here--What on earth is it?--

There really is never a dull moment in this house! --talk to yu to-morrow--hopefully!

  1. I hope the alarm wasn’t anything serious. I love your new blog site and it’s nice to keep in touch with you. Have a wonderful day and don’t let the heat get to you. It’s supposed to cool off here on Friday and I can’t wait. I’m looking after my grandson this afternoon and can’t wait to spend time with him. 👍 😀

  2. Here's hoping the alarm was handled and you're on to other more "ordinary" moments in your day! Be safe, be well, and so good to see your blogs go up... I look for you first!

  3. G'day! I found your blog! I sent you an Email but didn't get a reply - and you haven't (Yet?) befriended me on Facebook, but hopefully we'll be able to visit one another here. I took a walk around the block today and tried something new - instead of having lunch at lunch time, I had my dinner instead - then took my walk. Later in the evening I had a light 'supper'. My glucose readings seemed to like it and I seemed to get more time in my day somehow too. Anyway, it's after midnight but it's SO good to catch up with you and read about Himself exercising and families on the dock! Hope the alarm was something simple. Take Care ((Hugs))

  5. I’m so glad you are beautifully up and running!! Yes you have a big busy life! I wouldn’t care for the bees, though we have hornets around here that sometimes threaten when I’m near the garden or the kids swimming pool. Good for Himself still exercising! I sure hope that alarm was nothing serious!!

  18. Your work is never done, boy howdy! Is is your lot in life! Have you played your piano lately? Can the hummingbird feeders be placed some where easier to get to? That might help a bit. Spray some oil in the feeder part, bees don’t like that.

    Take care.

  19. That is a lot to do; hopefully you can schedule in a bit more relax and refresh time. Hopefully your children/grandchildren will pitch in a bit more, especially if it allows you to stay in your lake house rather than move into town.

    It's good to hear your husband is doing what he is able to stay active and physically spry.

    Hope all is well regarding the alarm and commotion...

Full stop. I want you to know how much of a difference you make in my life. THANK YOU! What can I do for you??

  30. We have 4 hummingbird feeders. The 2 on the patio are easy to reach to refill. For the 2 on a tree limb we use a telescoping reacher/grabber pole now which is safer than the ladder spouse was using.

    3. I am having trouble following along. I hope I am doing it right. It seems like some blogs repeat themselves and it's hard for me to figure out where to make a comment. But, I will keep trying. Sure am happy you found a place to continue your blogging.
