Wow Wee!
What a great day I have had. The only task left is making our supper and I have that planned.
I am not sure how silent alarms go off in a person over a period of time. It’s a growing feeling that something has been left out of “the rest of the story.” I did get caught up in phone calls to aunts and cousins. That was a good thing of easing the guilt I had been feeling for putting that off. I did get caught up with sending a text or two to my kids. It was Friday evening when I received texts back from my kids with their updates. That was all it took for me feeling that all was well within me. Wonderful! Hmm. Funny how that which was felt as lacking is now A.O.K!
Saturday we had a commitment for a great-grands birthday party. It was a good trip to Mankato and a good day. It gave Dennis’ family a chance to wish him a Happy Birthday as he and the little three year old share a special day. The phone calls to Dennis on the actual day were priceless. It makes my heart happy that my kids remember Dennis’ birthday. Saturday with some one-on-one with his children and grandchildren sure didn’t hurt any.
This morning the sun was out and there was nothing blowing more than a gentle breeze. The perfect day for the quilts to go out on the clotheslines for some freshening up. Dennis’ bedding was due to hit the laundry and also that time of the year when the electric mattress pad is laundered. Why not! Totally fresh bedding, you can’t beat it. My vac came off the attic steps and the mattress got a lick and a promise. I kept putzing with the vacuum and here we are on a great afternoon with the interior getting some homogenizing done. There is nothing like a powerful vac to capture anything and everything that is on blinds, mop boards, corners, upholstery and clothes dryer vents. Wow Wee! I will be darned, I have started my fall cleaning. After more of the harvest has been done and the elevator’s pink chaff is finished, I will tackle the windows.
I can tell you all that my heart is full . . . and content. I feel blessed.
