Things to Celebrate

#500 Post

It's Friday.

You, Readers, thank you, all who stop by to look at the pictures, read what I muddle through, rejoice in, cry over.

Sister Sher liked #60 of the daylily pictures I sent to her and asked if she could paint it. It is a very unusual color. That's quite a compliment from an accomplished artist, and from my little sister, who muses me, and amuses me. It does sort of have a Georgia O'Keeffe-ish look, and Sher really admires her and her art.

Number 60

Paul has been in Hot Springs since Wednesday and will be back tonight. I get to watch the "big" TV occasionally and last night I watched Benjamin Button. Unusual, based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Teri used to say I'd cry at a Mickey Mouse movie. This one was sad but very good. I have two more Click and New in Town, comedy and romantic comedy. The Blu Ray has been my friend so far; I haven't messed up any buttons yet. Pretty easy even for me. I'll have to check into the Red Box. Norma returned one at lunch time. Just $1 a movie, but have to have them back the next day...

A busy somewhat difficult week. Was on my feet a lot Wednesday and Thursday, but wore New Balance shoes to cushion from the hard floors. We mailed capital credit checks - about 13,000 of them. They all had to be processed, metered, posted, folded, and some stapled and mutilated (just kidding about the stapling - some did get caught in the machines occasionally, but not too horribly). Wednesday I felt like my knuckles were dragging. Thursday wasn't so bad I couldn't watch the movie, but I had everything done before I parked myself in front of the TV. Oscar cuddled a little, but he would go to bed early.

Sunday is Father's Day. I haven't bought Paul a card - yet. If I don't, if the heat keeps me inside, then Paul, thanks for being the terrific dad and husband you are. One more blessing to be thankful for.
