SISTER is coming for a visit!!!
Thinking about where I will take her while she is here. We always go to the Mall and eat at least one large Pretzel with Cheese.
It's a TRADITION!
One of the THRIFT STORES we annually shopped at has closed her doors.
Our local Restaurant has done the same. Shedding a tear about this one.
Manhattan's Salvation Army had a fire.....who's to blame? Don't know.
I noticed that a new GOODWILL STORE has a sign on a building in Manhattan.....perhaps it will be open for business and we can check her out.
Tuesday Morning is near by.
Will probably shop Topeka's THRIFT and maybe venture over to Lawrence?
She's bringing movies, so we will watch some good television.
I already bought our M and M's.....hurray.....chocolate for a day or two
or three maybe four or five.
Hoping that I'll come across some fantastic clothing sales to where I can purchase a few Summer Blouses for little of nothing! I'd love some newer tops to finish out the season before it becomes sweater weather. Our temps have been in the 100s....sweaters.
Major cleaning needs to take place. Getting some good results.
Lil Miss starts school soon. Am excited and sad at the same time.
It was the worst of times....it was the best of times.
Lord willing, I will have some quiet time after she goes to school.
Quiet time.....I remember when. I've been providing Child Care for 4 and a half years. My life so changed. The free-time was so limited. Now there will be another adjustment.
I wonder if I will watch children's movies during the day out of habit? I will miss my little companion during the day. We will play catch up after she gets home from school. Share her day and have a snack. Play and wait for her Momma to come home from work.
This time in life for my daughter has been very challenging. She went through an unwanted divorce. Her dreams were to be a full-time homemaker, wife and momma. At present, she makes the most of the time she has with her daughter.
Resting in the LORD about this situation has been a process for all.
Monday, Hubby had the last of the RABIES SHOTS in a series. The arm he received the shot in is weak. He dropped his coffee cup when his hand had no strength. Still stunned that he had an encounter with a bat. Doesn't that sound awful? Doing our best to be inside at
DUSK. A friend of mine that I saw last night said that when they returned to their Manhattan House after wintering in Florida had bats in it! It cost her $1000.oo to have the bats removed from her home. She said that there are certain months that no one will tend to them because it is breeding season and there will be pups.
Ummmmm....i'm not a bat person. I don't believe i would be so hospitable.
Manhattan does have a BAT PROBLEM. So many will tell you all the good benefits BATS provide. Until you have been attacked.....I don't think the benefits ring true. BATS carry RABIES, etc.

Our outdoor dogs are up on their shots, but went ahead and had a vet give them boosters. Hubby is keeping an eye on them. Only he is allowed in the backyard while we go through this waiting period.
Our small community has no laws concerning RABIES SHOTS for cats. Many roam the neighborhoods. This will have to be looked into. I love cats. I do, but am concerned about them carrying RABIES. We live on the edge of town near countryside. There is a building in the neighborhood that cats live in...and I think BATS do as well. The roof is collapsing with large holes in it. A great place for Bats to fly into and rest. The cats like it as well.

TRIED SOMETHING NEW for Lunch. A Wendy's
BERRY ALMOND CHICKEN SALAD with Raspberry Dressing. Will order again. Liked it. Had just enough fruit, cheese, grilled chicken and almonds to tempt the taste buds. Raspberry Dressing topped it off to make it really good.
Remember the 1973 Rock Opera Movie: 'Jesus Christ SuperStar'? We watched it last night. In 1974 as newly weds we saw it at Wichita State University. We will celebrate our 38th Wedding Anniversary this month. There are parts to this movie that got my attention as I watched. The way some of the characters performed were actually true to human behavior in this day and age. Human nature doesn't change. Greed, jealousy, arrogance, unbelief, etc are just as real in 2012 as they depicted in 1973 and 2000 years ago. The movie may not be absolutely correct in every area depicting the Bible, but I think there are parts that still get one's attention and cause deep thought. THE SCENE WHERE JESUS IS WHIPPED 39 times causes a serious pause...too real. THE SILENCE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE IS DEAFENING. The variety of the singers' voices was very good. The Opera wasn't boring and it was over before I knew it. Ready to watch again and sing along.
Life doesn't always go as planned or go very well. You know that saying when
LIFE gives you
LEMONS make lemonade. How's 'bout making a WREATH INSTEAD?
Does This Help?
I Believe that some days will be harder than others, which is why
I'm given the ability and the strength to choose joy!
Purdeeeeeee
Better go.
