There is always next year…

Congrats to the Red Sox.  They really did earn their World Series Championship title although it pains me a little bit to say so. I hope you are getting some pics of the celebration there Paul.

It is pouring rain here this morning as it did all day yesterday.  We had some thunder and lightning last night and I thought the power was going for awhile.  I really don’t like this kind of weather this time of year.  We are expecting 2 more inches of rain today.

I was up early this morning and have already exercised.  I am waiting to cool down before I have breakfast.  Tomorrow morning is an appointment with the ophthalmologist.  I hope I spelled that right.  In plain English I am getting my eyes checked.  This appointment is 6 months overdue.

I am back to going through CDs again.  I sent 52 CDs to my niece in West Virginia.  Can you believe I got them all in a brown envelope?? 

I am trying to decide what else I will do today.  I also have been going through my big recipe notebook that I put together in 1998.  I will be posting some recipes to my recipe site soon.  So I might  work on that some more today.

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.  Stay safe and be happy!!

I don’t even want to think about it…

It will take a miracle and some luck and Wacha to get us back on track.   Because I think so highly of my Boston friend I again will congratulate the Red Sox.  But only because I luv ya Paul!

I have been out a couple of times looking for fall foliage that looked good.  Unfortunately the drought we had all summer has taken its toll and there is not much to be found.  I took the following picture this morning in the Wal*Mart parking lot.  I think that is the best I can do this year.  While in Wal*Mart I purchased an electric blanket for my son in law’s birthday.

I  also stopped by Goodwill this morning dropped off some CDs and clothing. 

AND much to my surprise gas was below $3 a gallon this morning at Thorntons.  The last time I can remember that gas was $3 a gallon was  back in 2006.  I found that in one of my old blogs.

And so being the thrifty person that I am I now have a full tank of gas. 

Since I am posting this late in the day I don’t imagine it will show up on the dashboard until sometime in the middle of the night.

I hope this day is being good to you.  It is very dreary today and the temp right now is 48 degrees.

Whatever you do stay safe and be happy.  It is a lot easier on you to be happy than to be always sad.

Getting too old…

for these late night baseball games.  The last couple of nights have about done me in.  Congrats to the Red Sox for winning last night.  We are all tied up now at 2 wins each. 

I have been feeling really nostalgic lately.  I am not sure if it is the events of this past summer or what.  I am especially missing my sister Mary Evelyn (Ebby).  After I was retired I could count on the phone ringing at 6 AM every morning just so Ebby could tell me hi.  It will be 16 years in December since she died of pancreatic cancer just one month after her birthday on November 5th.  Ebby was 3 years older than me.  She bought  my class ring for me when I was a junior in high school and a pair of shoe skates, also clothes.

Blogger dashboard is not publishing my posts until about 10 –12 hours after I have written them.  I can’t figure that one out.

I hope we all have a good week.  Stay safe and be happy.

I couldn’t believe it was true…

“Red Sox manager John Farrell contested the call, but it appeared to be the correct one. Regardless of intent, Middlebrooks clearly got in Craig’s way as he tried to run home. It’s not the way the Cardinals drew it up, certainly, but the rules are the rules.”

And that says it all.

Stay safe and be happy!!
