I have been thinking the few days how life can changed in an instant. This time last year I was working a job that I truly loved and how could I have known that in less than 2 months I would unemployed.

Here I am 48 and having to start over in the work force. I have been working for the last 20 years and this is the first summer that I have had time off.

I miss the people and the interaction with others, that is one reason why I have started this blog.
I have ideas to share, stories to tell, and would love to share every day life.

working on the pool

Well we opened our swimming pool yesterday, all in all it wasnt as dirty as I thought it would be.
Next Ill be cleaning the deck and putting out our deck furniture. It has been raining off and on for a couple of weeks. During the first of the month it was so hot.

a day at the zoo

My granddaughter Ezzi went to the Columbus zoo yesterday with her girl scout troup. She earned a patch for her vest for Daisy Brownies. Today she came over and I gave her some more of my dolls that I have been buying for her since she was little. She has an quite the collection now.

She saw some wild strawberries growing in our yard and she picked one for me. She said here you are meme. She is such a wonderful child. She is so pretty and smart. Her kindergarden graduation is at the end of the month. She will be wearing a cap and gown.

Lazy, hazy, Saturday

Its Saturday, and I have indeed been lazy. I have done a little primering on my kitchen cupboard. Its a little cool outside and I havent felt like doing much. Lazy, lazy me.

Rain, rain go away--i want some sun today

Its been raining for the last few days. I know that the rain helps with my flowers and it seems like everything around the house is so lush and green from the rain. I went to Kmart over the past weekend and bought the cutest plant stands.
