MOYNA'S RAMBLINGS (9)

WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY IT IS TODAY!!! It is 74 degrees right now, the sun is out (except for a few clouds rolling in), and we have the doors open. I'm not ready to open the windows yet...still a couple of weeks early for that. It's such an unusual Saturday for us...Fred and I did a few household chores this morning, but our afternoon is entirely FREE!! That's a rare occurrence here - as I guess it is in most households. I've gone through the mail, fixed lunch for us, have played some internet computer games, and am now typing this blog entry. Fred is sitting in his chair, doing a little reading, and "resting his eyes...(we all know what THAT means!!). We both watch the SEC basketball tournament off and on. Auburn lost the first day, so our interest isn't too great about the tournament.

At one point, I thought it would be nice to get out and drive somewhere, but there's really no place I care to go - and it would require a little more energy than I have right now. I'm quite happy to sit in my chair and "vegetate." I can also make my 'lists' for things to do this coming week!

It's only March, but I've already had an urge to try some new recipes. I usually don't do that until the summer, but I want to try and have one or two new dishes for Decoration Day (or May Day as I call it) this year. May Day is the first Sunday in May, yet I am already beginning to plan a menu! I hope all of the family will be able to get-together this year. As Fred posted in an earlier blog, his cousin in Mobile has had some health problems, so we don't know if that part of the family will be there...WE SURE HOPE SO!!!!!! It just won't be the same if they're not...

Fred's selling season this year is crazier than usual...it's not crazy, it's INSANE! I've had to cancel doctor appts., dental appts., etc. to accommodate his schedule. I've managed to get most of my appts. on one day in April, and have threatened him that he WILL take me - I don't care if he has to cancel working with his boss (sorry Nick, but I'm standing firm on this). For those of you who don't know me, I have arthritis and it's difficult for me to drive - it hurts my knees, so Fred drives me when need be. In our younger years of marriage, I use to say that if Fred and I ever divorced, it would be during the spring selling season. After years and years, I've learned to live with the craziness...I might just say it again this year (just say it, not mean it)!!

That's about all for this rambling; once again, not much goin' on in our "exciting lives!!!!!!"
