The Old Folks Home

Goodnight old folks who are still up and going.

The chores are done. Trying to set up for a birthday party tomorrow, but the weather is NOT cooperating in the least. Dh caught some bug, and is feeling low.

Hurricane miss you?

Yes, it hit further North, and missed us. We got plenty of rain from it, but little else. We needed the rain, so not a big deal.

Good Morning Old Folks. Someone will be along with coffee soon.

Happy Sunday, y'all!

What are folks doing this holiday weekend?

Yardwork here, mostly. A chef friend has invited us over for an al fresco tableside-prepared meal today. (I save my Marans eggs for her. She swears there's a difference, but to me an egg is an egg. Probably why she's a chef and I'm just a good cook. ) It's at 2:00 p.m., so I'm thinking "early bird" -- which is odd for DH & I as we are night owls. But -- hey -- it's always nice to get off the farm and socialize. If we're dining early that means we'll most likely have time to binge/finish up some TV series tonight.

I just made a pot. Help yourselves. It's self-serve. No maid service here.
I'm in slow motion today.

Yesterday we had a birthday pool party for my granddaughter. 10 kids, and their parents showed up for it. The party alone was enough to wear me out, BUT a few days ago Dh had come down with some bug going around. Don't you know, it would hit me, and Dd #1 hard the evening before the party. We'd drag ourselves to do something, then go lay down. Get up, drag ourselves to do something else, then go back to bed. Rinse, repeat. Dd #2 showed up early yesterday morning to help out. Somehow, between all of us, we manged to pull it off, and the party was a success.

When the last guest left, I crashed. I slept over 12 hours straight. I'm not feeling great today, but surprisingly better than expected.

We do what we can for them grandkids for sure. Glad you're on the mend.

So glad you got to spend a day with the GK's. I seldom got to see mine until they had kids themselves. Their parents had jobs so far away. Now I have a granddaughter moved back close with her hubby and two Great Grand daughters.

Awww, that's nice. It's wonderful to have grands, and great grands nearby.
