Labor Day

For all you laborers that faced job jars today . . . take heart.  Tomorrow will be just a plain day with the usual.

Dennis’ daughter, Sandy, came today from Mankato.  Her main goal was to check in and on her brother Jeff.  I give her so much credit.  His other three siblings have already written him off.  In their defense, Jeff was not a nice person to them over the years.  That may be true also for his dad, but Jeff is Dennis’ child and I respect Dennis . . . he loves his child.  Much to be learned from my ole cowboy.  Innate love for family regardless of what was.  We can be here for Jeff for the most part of taking him for prescriptions.  Sandy being a nurse can bring to the table her awareness and her skills.

Our oven dish of last night was a hit.  I could not believe it.  It took a sprinkle of table salt to make the ingredients come into their own for the taste.  A re-run for supper this evening.  With the laundry basket empty and a supper guaranteed Dennis took an extra nap and I read a bit, stitched a bit and watched a YouTube. 

Tomorrow we are heading out to the big town.  It’s been three and a half weeks and my kitchen could use a bit of a boost.  I have a list going.  Our meals are not huge but a balanced plate of food before us is desirable.  I will say that using Amazon, the need to run from store to store looking for what we may need is pretty sweet.

Dennis’ Snuggles is not as peppy since the heat had set him back.  Dennis checked him over to see if he had a wound of any type and there was none.  Time will tell.

I hope during the week, there is something each day to bring a smile and thankfulness.  

With that I take my leave.  ♥
