Chill Day

Was sick today with a sore throat and headache to I stayed home...
Did not do too much got alot done...You know those little things you never have time to do when you are working

Organized my Make up and Jewelry (How I do need to down size more but have to still be attached to alot of Moms Jewelry and Dads watches)
Even found a pair of Dads eyeglasses that I still hold onto...
If I ever move and have to downsize it will be a nightmare!!

I also got alot of Stitching done...
I held the dogs (sometimes just a little bonding helps in every blended family and yes we are a family)
I also reminsced on Mom and when I had to lie to her when I was sick or she would worry about her 50ish daughter!!!
I fell better but still not up to par yet...however I feel a workday coming on tomorrow : > (

Veterans Day 2010

This was my first Veterans day without Mom...
Not that Mom was a Vet but it was OUR day to start Christmas shopping...
I thought I would be sad...but I wasn't instead I was off work and got necessary repairs
or rather maintenance work done on my car then I took my Veteran husband out to dinner...
We met another couple there and ended up all 4 of us eating together...

I did not get any shopping done but did get most done on Saturday afterwards...and I have
had several shopping trips with my High School friends...It is not like I am totally alone..

I felt proud and saw on FB where everyone was honoring the Veterans I even posted hubbys
service picture...
yes Mom and Dad may be gone but life goes on and the memories of them and what they stood for lingers on...Dad as a Veteran and Mom in all her wisdom telling me how to fold the towels!!
