A new day to be happy about. Woke up again!! lol

Went to lunch with my best friend from high school. I've mentioned before how happy it has made me to get back together with her after 42 years. Our lives just went in different paths after we each got married. Each time we speak or e-mail, I realize what a nice person she was and is and why we got along so well. She is a rare find. You know one of those persons who you can share confidences with without fear the world will know them.

After that DH and I picked up the DGD from school, our usual Thursday routine, played with her in her yard, then took her out to dinner. Six years old and she has grown so.

We are having our house washed today! That is the big excitement for today. Imagine being excited about having your house washed. Oh yes, the trash men come today also. lol

Have a nice day all.

Well by golly, KaCee, I'm going to the dump too! We have a lot of stain and paint to get rid of and tomorrow is our hazardous waste day. Lucky me, I get to do it as DH is working! He even was kind enough to load the trunk. I get to take the Buick LeSabre to the dump! lolololol

Oh Lanie, that brought my memories back to when I was at my DD2's bridal shower and she was excited and going on and on over her gravy boat gift to match her new dishes. I started laughing and said, "Honey, remember when you used to get excited over a new sweater?!!" LOL!!

Yes, I do understand the joy in getting your house washed and when the trash man cometh too..LOL!!

So happy for you that you've rekindled your school days girlfriend. Those friendships with women that we can trust, the keeper forever's, are such cherished gifts. Nice you can find the time to spend together too.

Lanie, our DGD's are both six, can you even believe it?!! Amazing!! Aren't they little corkers with the things they come up with and the dramatic antics?!! LOL!! Just love it!!

~~~Hugs, Susie

PS...What happened to Mr. Frank N. Stein?? Mr. Jack O. Lantern is cute, but I kind of miss the ol' green guy!! LOL!!

Hugs,

Appreciating the little "things" in life is one of the benefits of getting to the age we are.

Time with friends, power washing the house and getting the trash picked up make it a great day for me too!!

Top that off with getting to spend time with the grandkids and its a red letter day....

Lanie- whatever makes you happy? Housewashing Ok. I did a search for my best girl friend and came up with a death date. I am scared to follow up and check it it is the same person. This is something to do during summer break. Happy House Washing.

I didn't get the webcam but I can take still photos for KT to put on PI for you all to enjoy. Of course, there won't be the excitement of watching that mattress and sofa being crunched to death by the truck Milwaukee calls "Jaws". Kathey

I don't think you want to see this one. The moving neighbors set it out a week ago. It was in bad shape when they put out, it has been rained on, and the neigborhood kids used it for a trampaline. We are lucky to have a truck pick that stuff up but we are supposed to call in for the special truck, "Jaws" because the regular trash truck can't handle the biggies. Apparently, they never called so I will. I will try to get a photo for you and have it blown up to poster size so you can hang it over the fireplace (not in the fireplace)! Kathey
