The Valentine Tree, Visitors Passing Through and the Golden Years

 Valentine Tree...

I started with just the hearts

on it.

Then I put some silver

bells that I had on 

there also.

Then yesterday I was at 

the Dollar Tree and found

three heart necklaces for 

a buck. I got two packs and 

pulled them apart to

drape on the tree like

garland.

I am loving my Christmas tree

turned a holiday tree.

  Friday morning at 6:30 am,

I was up

thanks to Lily Bits running

across the body !!

 

I walked past the picture

window to see 

these babes.

Actually there were six

of them in the yard.

My subdivision is the pass through

from the woods between

the little league 

field and the subdivision, to 

the river. 

My yard seems to be the 

walk through!

I love seeing the 

sites,  but I feel

sad for the deer. 

 

Next on the list...

I remember the days when I 

would not even go to 

the mailbox without makeup

on! lol

Those days are LONG

gone. 

I had a meeting the other day 

and once I was done with 

that I knew I needed

to go to the grocery store

and run a couple of errands.

I was hurting, it was cold out

and it was 3:30pm

before I was able to head

out....those things just 

made my mood not the best.

But with that said, I was in 

Lowes, not getting anything

taken care of when I decided

I just needed to go home.

When I got a text from 

my Tim. He wanted to know

if I wanted to do dinner

and a movie. I past on 

the movie but was good 

with dinner. 

I told him that he would

have to take me

for how I was...

no makeup and with my

run around the house

socks. Not the socks

that you should wear with 

slip on shoes. 

haha....yep, having makeup on

and 

dressed nice is not a given

for me going out these days!!!

Golden years my ass!!

Did I ever tell you about my conversation 

about the golden years with 

my mom?

If not here you go~

I retired at 55 in 2015 due

to my Fibro. Till 2019

I sort of just made it through

the days. My body had taken

a turn for the worse and 

my house was going to hell.

I was bringing in projects that

I never seemed to get around

too. It was not a hoarding like

thing but it was on the verge of

getting out of control. 

But it had been heading that

way for several years. 

You see, I have this

issue that I have yet

to accept that I can't

do the things I used to do.

With that said, I was pulling

up in moms drive and she

was standing at the garage.

I was having a rough day so I 

got out of the car, which 

was a struggle and I asked

mom where the hell was

those "Golden Years I had

heard so much about"?.

She chuckled and said, "they

don't exist"..

The next thing I said was, 

"I guess you will tell me

next that I can stop looking

for the fountain of youth"?

"yep, that don't exit either"!!!
