Monday Musings

Just two creatures are stirring.  But no mice.

Happy Monday!  It's back to peace and quiet here at the Chairman and Co.  What a wonderful past week it was.

* Love privileges and special people that encourage us to be better than we naturally would be.

* Thanksgiving was a feast.  We spent it on my side of the fence this year.

The "T's" working on the Tom Turkey

Gab session

Celebrating #84!

Sugar-coated sweetness and smarts

Daughter #1 having fun.  I look kinda bundled up.

* We left the MYP on Thanksgiving night and drove away and didn't get them back for three days.  I now have a deeper respect for those experiencing an empty nest.  The house felt big and quiet and lonely.  I missed them more than I care to admit.  The Chairman and I had a lovely dinner out to belatedly celebrate 20 years of wedded bliss and blessing and sometimes bleak days.  It was nice to have all that uninterrupted time.  However, it was wonderful to have the growing flock all pile back onto the nest again.

* I've been working on a little volunteer project for the school that turned into nearly 15-hours of work.  Thankfully I turned it in this morning and hopefully the "tennis elbow" I am feeling from continual stapling will subside soon.  Feeling body parts hurt makes me crabby.

1st grade common core math books being disassembled.

* I saw this and smiled.  I didn't shop one iota on Friday.  However, I'll surf the web today but I doubt I click 'add to cart'.  

* Last night I got a call from our neighbor.  "Shut your big garage door!  There's a 'person of interest' the police are looking for!"  So I shut the garage door and locked the other doors and watched out the window as a cop car was shining a light all over our neighborhood.  I'm not sure who the 'person of interest' was, but it sure was interesting.  And I had no desire to head out on a walk in the dark either. 

* Well that's a wrap on my Musing.  I need to research Annie Sloan chalk paint and fold a pile of laundry and walk the dog in -10 degree wind chill and knead some bread and so it goes... riveting isn't it?
