Monday Musings

Welcome to post #1120.  Seems like yesterday I was writing that it was post #1000.  So much to say, so little time.  Or maybe so little to say, and too much time on my hands.  Nonetheless...

Blogging must be in the deep recesses of my small brain.  The other night there was an elephant in the room.  Or rather, I was dreaming about someone installing hardwood in son #1's room and there were three baby elephants dancing around in there and I was concerned as they were making lots of commotion and one was trumpeting.  I remember in my dream thinking, 'this is really going to be a great story to blog'.  Well there you have it!  It wasn't real and I'm still blogging about it.

Since I had that spot burned off my lip, I've had a weird scab on my face.  I find it interesting in stores or wherever that people notice it and kind of look closely but don't want to ask.  I want to tell them I don't have a communicable disease, but that would be weird too.  Thankfully, it is almost gone now.

Last week we celebrated one of our friends having a milestone birthday.  We all gathered to paint a picture.  I may or may not have mentioned my artistic skills are about a -27.  So I was way out of my comfort zone and was thankful one friend wanted to come sit by me near the edge so we could 'goof off' together.  The artists among us created something beautiful.  I, on the other hand created something just a wee bit better than a six-year old doing a color-by-number kit.  Here we are and here it is:

have I told you how blessed I am with friends?

serious business...

don't judge...

Today was son #1's annual visit to the ophthalmologist.  He's was diagnosed with a 'lazy eye' when he was barely four and we've seen this renown specialist for over ten years.  As he sat in the chair today, I was remembering this little boy crawling up the big chair just a few years ago.  He willingly accepted his 'good eye' being patched for nearly a year.  Now he has graduated from this specialist and was given the green light to go to contacts.  Bwah.  Slow down life!

Last night we had both sets of parents over for supper.  I love how our parents really like each other.  I snapped this picture I saw happening while I was doing some dishes.  I think they were arguing about who had the cutest grandchildren.  Heh.   

I LOVE Krispy bars and will beg until you throw me something...

when you have a sociable cat, you are rarely alone

I thought these were cute.

And finally, I saw this recently.  Amen.
