I did not walk this morning – took time to just ease into the day and have a good breakfast before work. I went to bed last night at about 9pm, and although I didn’t sleep straight through (I never do) I didn’t get out of bed until 7am. It felt good to be a little lazy and I felt some improved. When I backed the car out of the garage and looked out the window, I had two purple morning glories peeking at me. Good morning, morning glories!
I got to work to find that one of my co-workers would be off for 4 weeks, recovering from a slight heart attack. No damage to his heart, but a stint and some life-style changes. Prayers rising for you, Kevin!
Yesterday while the ‘girls’ worked in the main house, Dick and Whitey attacked the garage. I think it attacked back. SO MUCH STUFF! They made great progress. Things are looking good outside and in. Two weeks until the sale.
Although I was determined not to bring anything else home, I ended up lugging (literally!) a very old and extremely heavy Royal manual typewriter. Not sure if it works. I need to wipe it down carefully then try it out, and find a sturdy display table to set it on. It does appeal to me…
After lunch today I threw in a load of laundry (it’s drying now) and went outside. I pulled the old, twisted morning glories from the fence – they were dying out and it’s very time-consuming to pull them out. It took me about 45 minutes to clean up a seven foot section. Then I went down on the hill below the fence and cleaned out the dead Hosta plants, Lamb’s ears, and Stella D’oro daylilies. There will still be a bit more to trim back but probably not for several weeks.
All neat and tidy!
I think Autmn is coming over to spend the night. We are going to Camp Christian together tomorrow for Ladies Retreat. I’m so excited she’s going!
Here is a page from Mom’s memory book. February 24: Describe a place you liked to go to be alone. “When I was old enough to go by myself I liked to go and set under the big walnut tree (by the cabin) in the cow pasture. That is why Dad gave me the ground where we build the cabin, in the 60’s.”
On this day in 1608 John Smith was elected president of Jamestown colony council, VA; in 1776 George Washington asked for a spy volunteer; Nathan Hale volunteered. In 1955 Gunsmoke debuted, and in 1966 Neil Diamond had 1st Billboard chart success with CHERRY CHERRY. The first episode of syndicated JEOPARDY! with Alex Trebec aired in 1984. Peyton Randolph (first president of the continental congress) was born in 1721; Rin Tin Tin (German Shepherd TV star) was born in 1918. Arnold Palmer was born in Latrobe PA in 1929, and Jose Feliciano (singer) in 1945.

Here’s a quote for today – hoping it will make you laugh! Zsa Zsa Gabor: “I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.” (She was married 9 times!!!)
