Desmon came over and spent a few hours with us. He helped me wrap Christmas presents. We have a lot of presents decorated with black magic marker.......... It's a good thing I'm not the super picky neat present wrapper of days old.
Saturday:
Believe it or not but I spent almost the WHOLE day cleaning out my roll top desk! How can a person accumulate so much junk and paperwork? And I have several drawers that need the same cleaning plus closets. Makes me tired and anxious just thinking about it.
Saturday evening we went to a Christmas party. We had such a good time visiting with friends. If laughter is the best medicine, we should all be well for the whole 2014 year!!
Sunday:
Sad to say, but I didn't go to church again. We were having Chad's birthday dinner and I just can't seem to handle going to church and cooking anymore. I've also not been feeling very well this fall; not sure if it's a lupus flare-up or just generally not feeling well. Sure slows a person down.
We had Chad's favorite of lasagna, April's favorite of scalloped asparagus-a recipe from Bess Green, a lady I used to clean for. She told me I needed to always fix this as a funeral dish to take to families. lol You just had to know Bess; she was quite the character.
We had a nice evening visiting and of course enjoying Cash.
I am grateful for my family and friends and especially my son celebrating his 35th birthday on December 12th.
Connie -- I don't know if I remember you ever talking about Bess Green but I knew her well. I did her son's funeral, her husband's funeral and her funeral -- and her grandson, Ryan, was our youngest son's best friend and neighbor growing up. Small world. She was a character -- I can still picture her all dressed up to go to the grocery store wearing her red felt hat. K.
ReplyDeleteI went to a funeral with her once and I thought I was all dressed up, BUT I did not wear a hat and Bess thought we should stop and buy me one. lol
ReplyDeleteI have tons of funny stories from when I cleaned for her. Never a dull moment!!
