Random Thoughts….
It has been so hot and humid here - just miserable. So it was a surprise to see a flash of bright orange in the grass. I am calling it the first leaf of Fall. I guess the trees are like me - hopeful for some cooler weather.
The dogs have been determined to get out of the fence. One goes over and one goes under. So the last 2 days we have been putting up a hot wire. I really hate doing it but I don’t want them to get hurt running loose.
My oldest son made me sad. He will be 21 in November and of course thinks he is grown. To me he is still my kid and will always be. He went to the Doctor today and when I asked if everything was ok - I was told it was private. None of my business. OK, I changed your sh!tty diapers, stayed up all night with you when you were sick, took stuff off you when you were a teen and now it is none of my business. I do understand but it still hurts….
We have also been going through my in-laws property. Sorting through boxes of junk because there might be an important paper mixed in. (and there has been) There are 3 “storage buildings” on the property full of stuff - the good mixed in with junk. They never threw anything away, ’nuff said. I gave myself the job of making sure each grandchild got a box of mementos. (because no one else in the family seemed to think that was important) Every weekend for a month now we have worked. It would be nice if the other 2 brothers would help but that hasn’t happened. The one appearance that they made was brief and not much was accomplished. I told my hubby that after this weekend, I am done.
I am just so done… Calgon take me away!! I wish I could win the lottery. Not to get rich. I would be happy to have enough money to finish all the unfinished projects around here. (and be able to start the ones that need doing) And if there was just a little left over for me to get away, I would be thrilled!
I keep thinking about that TV show - While You Were Out. You go away for a nice relaxing weekend and when you come home, someone has fixed things for you. That would be so nice!!
Like the tree with the first glimpse of fall color, I am ready for some relief.
Hi Vicki, Nice to meecha! Thanks for stopping by my anniversary today. Of course all weddings have something that doesn’t go as you planned it…to many people involved to be able to control them all. But it’s not the wedding that counts, it’s the marriage and that has been pretty good, even with the for better/for worse. Oh and the best bit of info my MIL gave me was that all families are different. She was then telling me how her dd was so weirded out by her dh’s family. lol
Have a great day.

I’m ready for relief too and cooler autumn weather would be so nice if it didn’t lead to cold winter. I don’t like winter.

Hiya Vicki… Beautiful leaf… I’m waiting for cool weather too… Mother nature gave it too me these last 3 days….I hope the stuff with your in-laws starts to move along smoother… and I completely hear you about how it hurts with your Son asking for space. I’m beginning to get that already… it makes me so sad.

Love your leaf up there. Our leaves have started turning, too. We are definitely ready for cooler days, too. I hope you got all the things cleared out that you need to. Family history is so important and people don’t realize it until it’s too late….
Have a good day!
