Saturday rides again...

 Here's one corner of the newly painted office...(notice how I've  artfully edited out the clutter that still sits in the center of the room??) This is one corner...man-that light bulb sure shines through that shade....

*****************************


   I was so tired and it was so late by the time I got to the computer that I couldn't even post. Yesterday was a full day. Housekeeping and laundry and sponslings and doctors. And then hubby and I watched Zodiac..about the killings in San Francisco in the early 70's..the whole decade actually from 67-78, I guess. It was a very well done, very LONG movie, starring Robert Downey, Jr  and Jake Gyllenhall  and a great cast of charaters.Scary stuff, serial killers...


  Today was an up and at 'em early morning. Filled with animals and peoples and a friend came by for coffee and I made buttermilk apple cinnamon pecan muffins to go with the Starbucks coffee...It's 1 PM now...the Irishman is out for his Saturday hike in the woods with his friend Jerry and we are going to another corned beef and cabbage feed tonight to hear a speaker  (a married couple, actually).  It will be a good time, and relaxing to boot.


   Just wanted to drop in and say good morning. Not a lot to report, but I need my blog fix!


    I have to get the sponsorship workshop stuff together today as well, it follows on the heels of the district meeting .  Just called down there--the pamphlets I ordered didn't come in...sigh....so I need to improvise some stuff...Also need to get some cookies and munchies and things for the crowd. lol  Have no idea how many to expect. That makes it hard as well. OH well--I'm always up for a good challenge...Need to call my panel  speakers too and make sure they haven't forgotten. 

  Here's another picture, little different angle, just to prove I haven't been lying about this office, lol.  More to follow, as I finish her up.

It's a little dark...oh well...

  Later taters...I'm off to search cyberspace for some workshop help!!



Namaste.

Sunday on a string.,..

A nice peaceful shot of MY Blue Ridge Mountains.


Another exhausting and wonderful day. A meeting this morning and gave a 3 month coin to a sponsling. Then a light lunch with hubby and then off to the CSO to hold the workshop for new GSR's. Only about 12 people in attendance. Not a great turnout, but there was lots of competition on this almost 85 degree day. lol

Came home and sat around for a minute and then proceeded to plant 6 pounds of fingerling potatoes. Also started some pumpkins and some yellow bell peppers and green bell peppers in flats. Al my heirloom seeds came yesterday except for 2 types that they were out of. Red bell peppers and something else.

Then it was a short play time with the doggies and then supper.
I am whipped.

What a blessing it is for drunks like us to have boring old normal days! I am grateful for these times. Taking hubby to work tomorrow and then off to get flea stuff for the dogs. Grateful to have the money to spend on stuff like this.

Grateful to have the opportunity to play in the dirt. To be able to raise much of my own food. To always grow enough every year to give away too. To enjoy silly stuff like this...I can remember a day when this kind of life bored me to tears. When all I wanted to do was run. To be anywhere else but where I happened to be, with whomever I happened to be with. Never happy, never content or satisfied, always looking for a different answer.

All this has changed for me. It's been a wonderful journey into my life and I am loving it, every step of the way.

How blessed are we?

I'm off to dance with the sandman.

Namaste.
