Wisdom, Socks, Funeral, Lily Bit

 Hello everyone!
I am so ready for the smell 
of a good bonfire.
I know some folks would
think I am nuts for 
saying this, but I 
am ready for pants, 
sweaters and boots!
Yeah, I know, I think I have
lost my mind also.
As for socks, 
well, I have never really been 
a fan. I know that sounds funny,
but I can remember growing up
and it being cold out, mom
getting onto me about putting 
some on. I never could sleep in them,
I would somehow in the middle of the 
night hook a toe into the other
one and pull them off. 
As I was older, I would take
them off as soon as I came
through the door, right along
with my shoes.
BUT~
years ago, when I started through
menopause, I started having cold
feet, then losing 70 lbs, seemed
to add to the coldness. 
Funny thing now, I wear them in 
the house in the summer.
I will even coat my feet in 
vaseline and put them on 
to sleep in, waking to soft feet.
Over the years I have managed
to build up a big collection of 
socks.

A few years ago I bought a 
three drawer, wide plastic on 
wheels storage holder for my 
socks. 
They were just taking up way 
too much room. 
I have holiday socks for 
the different holidays and I 
also have fun socks.





Even ones for bringing in the 
new year!
Drinking socks...


I do have a few pair of
solid black socks, just cause, just
like that black little dress women
need, they need those black socks also.

So, let me let you in on a secret, 
I had nothing to blog about today,
then while typing about bonfires,
sweaters and such, I looked at my nicely 
covered feet!
BAM, an idea came to me...

Saturday, Amber came over and 
helped with cleaning.
2.5 months, heat, depression,
and not picking things up or
cleaning anything, I needed help.
I have company coming in this
weekend, it was a must for sure.

My cousin Kathy and her
hubs are coming in.
They have tickets in Nashville
at the Grand Ole Opry for
a concert on Friday night. When
they leave there, they are coming
to my house.
This is Kathy.
 

I learned last yr that she 
has MD,
macular degeneration. That
has to be horrible.
Kathy is two years older
than I am.
This woman wears me 
out. She always has. She 
goes nonstop in actions and 
her mouth. haha.
Even when I was told 
by friends that I was 
"the cleaner from hell",
Kathy still worked circles around me.
It will be fun to have
her here.

This is my uncle Jerry,
Kathy's dad. He is 83 and a 
great, great grandaddy.
He looks amazing.

On Monday evening, 
Amber and I drove
to Nashville to attend
the visitation for her
great aunt, Sissy.
Then Tuesday, we went
back to the funeral.
It is a shame that 
life is so busy family 
only see each other when
they lose a loved one. 
However sad as it was, 
it was nice to see my
ex family members again.

But, I was tired when I 
got home so Lily
Bit and I curled up 
and took nap.

Lily sure does know
how to get comfy, 
throws those legs right
out over my leg and 
goes to sleep.

Hoping your week is
a good one so far,
Pam

Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

 Seasonal changes are coming,  moving in slowly as always,  but coming.  Leaves are falling, not since fall is close but cause we  are so freak'n dry. Got a little rain shower on Wed. but, it did not even register in my rain gauge.    Spider webs are thick, grass is  crunchy, flowers are giving up  the fight, and Lily is doing her seasonal behavior as fall moves in. What would that be? She has started the curling up  behind my knee sort of  thing again and  wanting to be close. Not on me,  not in my lap, but close to me. This starts taking place every year around this time. Not only has that started, I think  she knows that time changes at some point. This week, she started waking me at 4. What she don't understand, it is not bouncing forward, so 4 will not be 5.... LILY, get with the program! haha.. Actually, I think the early rise has to do with me.  You see, with me having been  suffering the last 2.5 mon...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

OH Crap, Laughter, Asylum, Soliciting, No Soliciting and Rushing the Season

Image
OH SHI I MEAN, CRAP! I had a whole post written up,  right at the end, went to delete something and  BAM, there it all went! So, here I go again. I had a couple of big, out  loud laughs Monday night. It started with Misty. I had cut the yard and when I  was done, I wanted a bubble bath and I was joined by Misty. She sat on the rug outside the  tub doing what she does best, watching me. I scooped up some bubbles and blew them, inside the tub.  That got here attention so I  did it again but this time I was  blowing towards her, only it hit her on the top of the head.  MEOW is what I heard and she ran to the bedroom rubbing her head with her paw. I told her I was sorry, and I felt bad, but I laughed out loud also cause it was funny.   Later in the evening Lily had me laughing just as hard. I was messing around in the  bedroom when she came and sat in front of me, giving me that  look! What look you wonder? That one that said, "CHA...
