another blog----another story--

                            Holy Cow!!!!    Good Day to you all!
                                                 AND----

                               I do hope that your day is Perfect!!

                                    It is FRIDAY, APRIL 24TH

OK, Now you are wondering--"Why ARE YOU LATE"-------It is because I had to be at the Lab, downtown, for blood work--and one must get there  faster than you saying, "Johnny Robinson"--=because the Lab opens at 7am--and at 7-01, 5 million people  are in waiting  there for their Blood Work--This AM., I was person #5-----waiting to have my blood work--So, that is done---

And now for the local news here--The washing is done--also done in the dryer--Lopez has done his business--(We walked around the block)---=-Allison has called--I have -had breakfast--and so-=-THIS DAY HAS BEGUN!

Did you know that a happy person feels compelled to do more good things than a sad person?And--Did you know that if you want the rainbow , you gotta put up with rain?  and--Did you know, that if you think about the past too much, you may not enjoy the present?----So so much to think about, isn't there?

                So----  There are words I wish I had written--and here they are---

#1. Just because some people are nice to you, doesn't mean you should spend time with them.

#2.Never ask a barber if you need a haircut-

#3.Sometimes by going slower , you arrive faster--

                                                             Blasts from the past--

                                          -many moons ago---"Sushi and I"
Below---  Fred, The Queen,and me
Below--another Birthday for the man who I married

Ethan, Jacob, Andie, Sophia and Ava

Below-- Me and Andrew as a baby, , 
Below--Allison with Sophia--Sophia now in University

Time to get off of here-- It has been a busy morning--Bloodwork at the Lab--  house-y stuff-- and it is now after 9am--Just rtemember---
Below is my Mom and Dad--=just after they were first married--living in Northern Ontario--Dad surveying  for a new highway---  now the highway #17 Fred and I used to live on or near--Look closely---Mom just caught a fish--

  1. Good morning! It is lovely weather in Ohio. Some rain tonight. I love your goose. You need a front porch goose that you buy outfits for it. LOL! Labs? No thank you!! You know I ask for that butterfly needle! I am still drinking coffee. I need to go be Sadie. My ears are driving me nuts this week with tinnitus and have had muscle pain in my chest and shoulders. I took a muscle relaxer last night so moving slow today. I don’t take them often. Have a fabulous Friday! You rest now. Hugs!

  2. Hi Lynda, happy Friday to you. You've been a busy bee this morning. Good for you. Do you have any special plans for the weekend? You haven't mentioned your hairdresser in awhile, do you still go on Thursdays? Thanks for sharing great family photos once again. Enjoy your day.

  3. Glad you were # 5 for your blood draw. Good job.

    Absolutely the happy person accomplishes more than a sad person, if you want a rainbow you have to put up with the rain. FOR SURE if you are focused on the past, you MISS the present.

    LOVE all your quotes. All true.

    Awwww, what awesome blasts from the past.

    Here’s to a great weekend.

    hugs and blessings

  4. Good afternoon, sis. I'm late, too.

    The weather is colder than it has been, but sunny. The temp started in the low 40wF. Now it has climbed to 53F

    God loads of laundry done, bed changed, dishes under control...don't remember what else, but I've been busy all day.

    Still trying to figure out why you told me, "You can share my memes. That's what they're for," and changed your mind. I'll need to check out zen to zany.

    The weekend comes next. I have a dr appt online on Monday and PT online Tuesday.

    Good job getting to the lab early! That's the way to do it. And all the family blasts are great.

    Off to do a bit of shopping. I'll check back at the end of the day. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  5. Well, today I opted to get a new furnace installed. I already have the (new) 2 yr old air conditioning unit, and a recent new hot water heater, figured I might as well pop for the new furnace so that I do not have to worry about it dying on me in the middle of winter. It was 32 yrs old. They don't make them like that anymore, sadly. So that's what went on today. I went and got the 2nd of my Hepatitis B? shot. They recommended I do that, since I'm immunocompromised. I went to CVS Pharmacy. I'm back now, and have a 3 day weekend, since I am now taking Mondays off! Yippee!

  6. It's Kathy. I'm glad you were #5 at the place to have your blood drawn, but being there by 7 am soujnd awful! It's been a good day here - cooler than it's been but sunny. Daisy and I played outside for a bit, she liked that. Now that the snow is all gone and the weather is warming up there is so much work to do out in the yard! I find I'd rather stay in the house and read a good book! Seems I'm getting lazy in my old age!!! Have a good tomorrow!
