Just Joy ~ June Week 3
SD, a good old fashioned fish fry on a farm! We do that here, too. I’m glad you had a good time meeting his family. I know our relationship has been a virtual one, but it still is very real to me as well. It's the kind of relationship that is formed when people go into battle together, eh? Kind of a Band of Sisters deal!
I am very fond of you and sincerely pleased that you have found your way back from what surely would have been an unhappy and minimal existence. I’m glad I have, too. Say, on the news last night they mentioned some new research that resulted in a WARNING to people who have had gastric bypass surgery. The research indicates that the op affects a person’s ability to metabolize alcohol and people then have a greater tendency to alcoholism! Had you ever heard that before? I’m going to google it today. I thought of you while watching Brian Williams!! (NBC)
Jolie, glad you had a good birthday. You are so right about being grateful for each and every day. I have a screen saver on one of our laptops that runs through all the photos we have scanned into our computer. It keeps me grounded in how fast it all goes as I see pictures of my brothers and parents, my children, everyone I love, really, at various stages of their lives flashing on the screen. Life is short.
Star, how did you manage to get a 4 day work week? Good for you! I tried to cut back my week to 4 days and the supervisor pretty much shut me down. I managed to get her to agree to a 4.5 day week, so that is at least a little better.
Cyn, Have you moved already or are you still preparing to move? Where are you moving to? Is it a big move or just across town? Why are you moving again? Didn’t you just do that?
Chill, welcome back!
Rusty, elastic on top AND bottom?!!!:shocked:
Lav, I was kind of surprised to hear you say you feel pathetic when you travel solo. I love to go on my own, although I admit I am usually going to a destination where there is a friend or family member to visit. Do you have any options like that? I am not a good traveler generally speaking and would rather be home than anywhere else.
UPDATE: After seeing those pictures I’m not sure why you would travel anywhere!!
Pmom, I hope your ankle heals quickly. Will you have to use crutches and keep weight off of it?
LBH, Do you really use your Ipad a great deal? Very thoughtful (although defensive) gift for Lord BH, I must say. He will be thrilled. We have a shared Ipad which means I get to use it, sometimes.:H Mr. Dill uses it as a Kindle, if you know what I mean. He takes it everywhere we go. In fact, now that I am thinking of it, it showed great sensitivity that he left it in the car last night when we had our little celebration!:H I love to picture you up and out in the pre-dawn light doing your gardening. I will be there with you this morning, If you don't mind me joining you.
Our anniversary was nice. We just had a quiet dinner out and reminisced about our wedding day 35 years earlier. Some of it I remember quite clearly, some not. We were married outside at his parent's home. It was a low budget affair and pretty much just family and a few close friends. We had a picnic/reception and his mother, who had been a professional cake decorator, made our cake. It was a wonderful day.
