Years ago I loved the Beatles music. It was so new and exciting, and I learned the words to all their songs. I was particularly fond of George Harrison – I don’t know why, but he just mesmerized me. Today I heard “Hey Jude” on the radio and had a great flashback to be being a kid, dancing around in my parents living room and singing along to the Beatles.
I recently started a part time job at a retail store as a cashier. One of the managers there is a very nice young man. He reminds me a lot of my own sons. I like to laugh and joke with him, and he certainly seems to enjoy hanging around me. This guy would make a really great husband for some lucky young woman, and he says he is looking for a girl to settle down with and have children. The issue is that he is having trouble meeting any women who share his same high moral values. I have to agree that there are very few places young adults can go that is not a pub. I wish there was something I could do to help them out! I’ll have to think on that.
Happy birthday Billy! Love you lots!
Hope you have a great time, lots of cake, ice cream and kisses from your girlfriend!
Have you made any New Year’s Resolutions this year? One of mine is to waste less food. I am apalled every week when I get ready to go to the grocery store and I rummage around the refrigerator to see what needs to be thrown out and find so much food that has been there too long to eat!
Part of the problem is that often times when I cook supper the rest of the family decides at the last minute that they aren’t going to eat dinner. Now I know I’m a good cook, but the only time I can count on everyone coming to the table is if it is take-out Chinese Food or take-out Pizza. And I am NOT ordering take-out food every time we need to eat supper! So I think that I will put the rest of the family in charge of the meal planning, the shopping, and the cooking. I’m tired of wasting time, energy, and money on trying to feed this family. As for me, well I can just fix myself a PB&J sandwich or a bowl of soup if no one cooks!
One of my favorite decorations for the house at Christmastime is a pair of handmade Mr and Mrs Santa Claus. I remember buying them the Christmas of 1974 for $25 for the pair. They were being sold by a friend of the lady who made them and brought them to the office to try to sell them. Well, being a sucker for handmade items, and being young and newly out on my own I grabbed them up! They’ve held up very well considering how old they are, and I love them dearly. They grace a space of honor in my house every Christmas
