TERRIFIC TUESDAY and I have a plan

NO OBLIGATIONS TODAY so I can stay HOME and fiddle.  The French doors are wide open allowing fresh air to come inside.  Birds are singing.  Skies are grey.  As I type, the little washing machine in the Kitchen is whirring away.  Towels are being washed by my robot.  Sipped on a smoothie made of spinach, kale, broccoli, yogurt, honey, and milk.  Next time no broccoli.  It made the drink too gritty.  Nutritious, but gritty.  

For lunch I believe I will fix myself a large salad made of spring greens, a little cottage cheese and sprinkled with nuts.  Maybe some chickpeas and black beans.  I'll take apple cider vinegar capsules and finish it off with Vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty oils, cinnamon and regular multi-vitamin. Yummers.  Remembering that this is good for me and helping me become healthier and slimmer. Emphasize healthier and slimmer.

Earlier I cleaned off three wreaths that were covered with faux flowers.  I'm planning on recycling the wreaths and reusing two of them for faux lavender wreaths that will hang on the front doors.  The other one...maybe lemons on it with a black and white checked bow for the Kitchen.  I also took the morning to go through photos my Mom gave me.  A huge bag with my name on it.  

The pics of my kids when they were growing up have been gone through and sorted, placing them in large yellow envelopes to give to my kids for their own safe keeping.  I want my adult children to have some of their own.

During the pandemic staying HOME more than normal, I have been going through old photos that came in individual envelopes with negatives and putting them in cardboard photo boxes. Round one.  Second round will be to sort them again and write on the backs of the pics grouping them.  I'm not sure I can find photo albums like I had years ago.  I already tried to find some in box stores. Will check the internet one of these days.  Maybe I will group the pictures and have books made out of them.  That will take some doing, but each child could have books with images of them at special occasions in their lives.

The snap shot pictures Mom gave me had me in tears.  So many great gatherings of family. Pictures of when Mom and Dad were young and dating.  Pics of when my children were babies. Birthdays, Christmases, Easters, Graduations, Celebrations, etc.  I wasn't alive when my Grandpa H. passed away, but there was a picture of his funeral with lots of flowers beside the casket. Pictures of Great Aunts together.  So many.

Hubby went to pay a bill in person in another small town that did some landscaping work for us. I had mailed them a check back in March which they never received.  We checked our checking account and the check I sent has never been cashed.  Only thing I can think of is it made the rounds elsewhere and got lost in the mail.  Once I mailed a dental payment which cycled about in other states and took longer than a month for the dentist to finally receive it.   

I truly need a beauty spa treatment to do my hair up in curlers to air dry after shampooing.  I am so slow it hurts.  

TODAY, I have a plan.  It's a good one.  This Tuesday is terrific.  God's peace and harmony.  After I get my hair styled, I will forge ahead going through papers that need sorted and grouped.  Have mercy.  I just haven't been able to keep up.  Grace and mercy please.  I want so badly to have this done.  Wipe my brow and smile.  

AND AWAY I GO.

Blessings to you,
