No wonder I am so tired. Just once in a while, I'd like the Mister to beat me home and do this list. Just once. Oh, well, I leave to see the Airman and his bride in Okinawa on Tuesday... And I can rest then... Right??
Well, congratulation on becoming a mother-in-law! You've convinced me. I don't want any livestock. Georgie is enough work!
ReplyDeleteOk, your schedule is putting me to shame! But, you're off on a trip to meet the new bride! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteWe had a snow day today, and boy, was I thrilled! All I did was rug hook.
I'm thinking of you as you venture off around the world!
Hugs,
Courtney
Dear Mattie,
ReplyDeleteMy, I feel privileged now that you ever have time to visit my blog! At least the devil won't have YOUR hands to make mischief with. :)
Best of luck in your travel; how exciting!
Love,
Marqueta
Oh my goodness... what a list.....
ReplyDeleteAnd I must of missed the news...I didn't realize the Airman had a bride. How wonderful. And you get to go visit. Wishing you lovely times....
And grace for the journey through that list every day!
Hi Matty, my goodness what a list! You are amazing, you have an incredible amount of stamina, I can see why you get tired too. I used to have an extremely busy schedule a few years ago and I found that taking a break once in awhile and getting away from it did a world of good. I sure hope you have a fun trip to see your son and his bride! I have never been to Japan, but I have heard from friends that it is wonderful place to see. Have a safe journey and I know we all look forward to hearing about your trip when you get back! Delisa :) P.S. Thank you Matty for the Versatile Blogger award, I sure do appreciate it and it made me so happy that you thought of me!
ReplyDeleteI missed then new bride news, too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you are able to do all of that.
After watching Downton Abbey, my daughter and I realize what is missing from our houses... Downstairs staff!
I hope your trip goes well!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Matty! I don't know if you are back from your trip yet. I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I was thinking about you and hoping that you are have a great time! Delisa :)
