Just thinking, where I lived before for all those many years, when I looked out the back door I saw my garage, then if I walked out past the garage, there was my glorious alley. Some of you may remember the little video I did when I introduced you all to my alley a few years ago. Sadly, I don’t have an alley here. Now when I look out my back door in addition to the cemetery I can see major highway traffic to the right and to my left behind the cemetery I can see trains at different hours of the day. I am not far from the airport so I hear planes occasionally throughout the day too. I can’t help but wonder what Jim would think of all of this. Probably the thing that would interest him the most is the fact that the riverboat casino is just a few miles down the road from me on that major highway I just mentioned.
My son in law’s brother and his wife have asked me to go with my daughter and son in law to their home for Easter dinner. They are such gracious people. I was invited to their home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This time will be special as there is a brand new baby in their family.
If I plan to cook some beans I had better get up and go put them to soak. Not sure yet if I want to make the effort.
I hope you all have a glorious weekend!
Beth
That's funny that you should be remembering your old place---I had a dream last night that our entire family moved into the house I grew up in, in Michigan! What a kick! But in the dream, the owner had really enlarged and redone it so that it seemed enormous. Strange dream---wonder what it means. Sounds like you'll have a nice Easter dinner and fun with friends and relatives. Hope it stops raining for you, at least for Easter! My older son, Sean, will be home around May 2, and I can't wait to see him again! HAPPY EASTER!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a busy weekend planned.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and have a great Easter.

BTW, I love the Roger Miller song :-)
We had a storm blow in last night...heavy wind and rain changed to occasional snow flurries today...I hope we get a decent Easter out of this mess! I'm glad you get to have a dinner with family. We are inviting someone over that has nowhere to go on Easter...it's a good thing to do that. Bless you my friend.
ReplyDeleteRain stopped here and maybe we will get some sun tomorrow..we can hope.Sounds like an interesting place to live to me.. something always happening and things to look at. I think Jim would be happy ANYWHERE you are. Have a great Easter with your family!!

Happy Easter, Beth.
ReplyDeleteWell I have moved several times throughout the years and have to say I am pretty happy where I am now. Except for the fact that all of my kids are in different states! Suppose to rain here all week! I want sunshine!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice invitation. I know you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Beautiful Beth! I have to say, I really do like and enjoy the rain. I love listening to the rain softly hit the windows or the roof as I go to sleep. It almost creates a feeling of comfort and being safe and that in itself will tend to lull me to sleep. Of course, I like it most in moderation!!!
ReplyDeleteWe too here in southern Manitoba, Canada are experiencing some major flooding and we have even had to evacuate a few rural communities. Here’s hoping that your weather takes a turn for the better and soon so that you can enjoy being outside again without the worry of floating away.
That was very thoughtful of your son in law’s brother and his wife to invite you for dinner. See, I am not the only one that cannot get enough of you.
We had a nice April shower last night and the robins are getting their fill or fresh worms. Actually it was the first time it just rained without any snow mixed in. Our house in Madison is located near a big highway and the airport, so I know what you probably hear all day long. We got used to it, but sure do enjoy the peace and quiet up here. Enjoy your day and have a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteRaining cats and dog here today. Feeling kind of solenm. The Day after Good friday always makes me feel that way rain or not. So happy you have a happy welcoming family to spend Easter with. Blessings, Joanne
ReplyDeleteWe've been blessed lately with sunshine and I love the rain without the t-storms.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that you will have Easter Dinner with family including a new baby.
