HELLO OUT THERE IN BLOGLAND. I woke around 5 this morning and as I type the sun is starting to come up. Not sure what the weather will be like. Hopefully about 50 degrees. I walked my mile yesterday so as I shop today I will call it an active day. Probably will not walk the track today.
I'm off to go to TOPEKA to do some shopping for HUBBY's Birthday meal and pick up supplies needed. He has a Christmas Eve Birthday in which he turns the big 7-0. Another hurdle to get over as I met him when I was 18 years old and now I iz 69. It seems like we have been through so much together. pause. Doesn't seem possible that we are so old. He retired 5 years ago and this hasn't soaked in yet either. I had better get with the program or LIFE will pass me right on by.
AT 18, we were two young souls in love with one another and have aged accordingly. Going through many trials of LIFE and here we have landed in a small COTTAGE to call HOME for the time being. I have been in prayer in the early mornings for our marriage, health, wealth and well being.
Sometimes LIFE can beat you plum down in which the JOY hibernates. HAPPINESS seems to vanish. Prayer can breathe a refreshing mood into you. I have needed the refreshment of feeling better. This past year has been a tough one as we have not settled into the COTTAGE. Illnesses and recovering from issues has slowed us way down. It has been extremely challenging.
ARE WE STILL IN LOVE? Yes.
Yesterday, Hubby and I carried the Victorian headboard, sideboards and footboard to the SHE SHED. We went to Manhattan to purchase some wood to lay in the yard so we can slide the heavy mattress and box springs across the yard to the SHE SHED. We made a date out of it as we purchased the wood, had supper and Iced tea, went to Target where we bought a couple of Christmas plants for the porch, went to Aldi for milk, drove a fancy neighborhood to look at the beautiful CHRISTMAS lights and then watch the light show on the tall tree at the Festival of Lights in Manhattan.
Drove HOME late and unloaded our goodies. I have misplaced my reading glasses which I will need to replace when I go to TOPEKA to buy the things for Hubby's 70th Birthday meal..
Today, being Tuesday we will get the rest of the bedroom furniture taken care of and out of the COTTAGE. A Gentlemen's Dresser with mirror and a wash stand will go with a red Settee and two Parlor chairs. Some more clearing out of items from the pink bedroom so the room becomes a TV room will need to happen.
I'm like a little kid the night before CHRISTMAS getting excited for the results of having the SHE SHED set up along with the TV room and the Living room ready to go.
It's gonna be awesome to have the small living room not so crowded and cluttered. We'll work on this today, tomorrow and until it's done. Wanting it ready to go by Saturday as family will be coming for a Birthday supper for Hubby turning 70 soon.
To have the living room tidied and a TV room where the youngest grandson can play trains in, will be a blessing. Can't wait.
The Dining room will finally be an actual Dining room. We will have a nice meal and dessert as a family on Sunday. I believe we will have pot roast, potatoes and carrots that have been baked altogether with side dishes of corn, green beans and small dinner salads with dinner rolls. A side dish of Grandma Horner's chunky apple sauce. Iced tea to drink with German Chocolate Cupcakes and French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
I will go to Topeka to shop for the groceries. I'd like to go to GOD's STOREHOUSE just to browse. Hubs will remain HOME to continue working on the Bedroom. The Christmas plants will be artistically displayed in the porch urns. We won't be decorating the outside of the house this year. Shucks, but I am alright with it as I'd rather have the inside of the house rearranged so we can still be two souls in love. It's taking so much energy to get this done that all the energy we have needs to be used wisely.
