--------------------------------------------
1. What advice would you give a newly married couple?
Don't be so serious! Keep your sense of humor!
Don't go to bed angry! Be careful how you talk to
each other....keep the respect in your language!
NEVER, EVER talk about your spouse to anyone
with words that would hurt, or dishonor your spouse!
Don't run to a third person whenever you and your
spouse have an argument! Your marriage is no one
else's business!
We have been married 47 years next month.
2. Who does more laundry around your house?
My sweet husband does more of everything around
here since 2007 when all my health problems began.
He cooks when necessary, he vacuums, he washes\
the clothes, he drys the cloths, and he folds and puts away the clothes. That's better than I've ever done!
3. What items, if any, do you prefer to buy organic or make yourself?
We don't "do" organic and we don't make our own.
Who has time and energy for this??
4. What book/TV series would you recommend for a friend on bedrest?
I would recommend any/all of Karen White's books.
We watch "Justified" every Tuesday night. The
language is a little "ripe", but we enjoy the story
lines. We don't watch much "regular" channels. We
watch mostly cable.
5. So, they say it's Spring now...what does your "spring" look like at this very moment?
In our neighborhood right now it's cloudy, misty,
and 44*. The trees, and flowers all agree it's Spring.
Some days I agree with them, but a lot of days I don't.
I'm doing much better today handling Theresa's death. She would lecture me if she found me crying and grieving for her! She was just that way. Almost always with a smile on her face, and her laugh was so contagious no matter what your own mood you would find yourself laughing along with her! I only have good memories of her, and I will honor her memory the way she would like me to do.
Don't you find it difficult to watch the news some days? Tonight's local news had me really getting angry. What's up with people anyway, and why are parents allowing their young people to run around after dark like animals? The news report that had Dennis and I the most upset was 5 grave markers for American Veterans being dug up and broken for their bronze content! ggrrrrrr! Don't get me started! I'll leave you to your thoughts about this. Another report was a woman living in a nice mobile home park who is being tormented by youths throwing rocks, eggs, milk, and other things all over her mobile home. Why?? She is a widow, living alone, and this assault on her home every night after dark is terrifying her. I can only imagine how this would scare me.
This week has been spring break week, so the three girls have been home. They are getting bored and ready to return to school. It hasn't been too bad having them home 24/7, but I know they are wanting to get back to their friends at school, and since they are all three A, B students, they must be wanting to return to the work, too!
Nope. I'm pretty sure it's the draw of the friends.
Leaving you to think spring!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The sun is shining, and very few clouds. Subject to change, of course. Jennifer, the weather lady says rain is moving is, and should rain for 3 days. We'll see. We are still behind with our rain, so it'll be welcome.
It's sunny outside, but not so sunny in my spirit. A very dear and loved friend passed away Monday the 18th. I am so sure of where she is now, and I know she is no longer suffering. I know all that, and I'm happy about that. But, I guess I'm selfish, but I hate knowing she isn't in the world here anymore. I can't hear her wonderful laughter, or see her smile. She loved the Lord with all of her heart, and didn't have a problem sharing Him with anyone. She had a wonderful sense of humor! I have so many memories of her...all of them good. She brought so much good into our family, and those things won't go away. I'm thankful, and blessed to have known her.
When I went out to get the paper this morning...
I got wet...it was a heavy mist, but it was wet, and made my hair wet! I stood on my driveway with my arms up in praise to the Lord who hears me and answers while I am yet speaking. We didn't get anything heavier than that heavy mist, but it
watered the beautiful spring flowers my sweet husband planted for me. It made me happy.
The girls spent the night with friends tonight. But I got a text that A needed to come home because she isn't feeling well. When she got home I noticed that she is feeling warm to the touch, and was hoarse. This isn't a big deal to anyone except A, who will end up having an infection. I'm thinking she will need to see her doctor by Tuesday (if not before).
BEAUTIFUL DAY, BUT WE NEED RAIN!
We are in a severe draught in our part of Oklahoma. I love the sunny days (like today) but I would really love a nice long, soaking rain!
Want to play along? All that's necessary to participate is to describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. For more information, try clicking here. Feel free to explain or not explain. Add an image, a video, a song, nothing. I love seeing what everyone does with their entries.
Each week (probably on Sunday or Monday), I use random.org to select a bunch of entries to visit. Or I visit everyone. Or even numbered entries. Or odd numbered entries. Or multiples of three. Depends on what's going on that week. In addition, please visit the person ahead of you on the list (or visit everyone if you like!). That way everyone receives at least one visit!
If you play along in your blog, please add a link to the Mr. Linky. I appreciate a link back (shiny code below if you like!). Otherwise, you're welcome to leave your six words in this post as a comment.
Please be sure to link either to your main page or (preferably) directly to the 6WS post. Links to blogs that do not contain a 6WS entry will be removed (sorry, just the button in the sidebar doesn't count as participating).
I love the feel of Sundays. It's probably just me, but to me Sunday feels peaceful. Today is sunny, and 64, the girls are at a friend's house, and even the two dogs are quiet. I just love this.
Did you have President's Day off from school? I don't think we did when I went to school, but we celebrated both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays with biology studies of each. Then both birthdays were combined together to make one President's day. Our girls won't have school tomorrow. I know I'm getting old, but I don't remember having this day off before. However, I don't have a problem with it, just wondering.
