Oh yeah.......it does continue!!! A gorgeous morning......and the Fr. Roast coffee enhanced the early morning enjoyment as I sat with my cup in hand, listening to the actual quietness of this part of Buford Heights and watching the House Finches, the Yellow Finches, Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse(titmice?), Cardinals, American Wrens, Nuthatches, Azure Buntings, and a few hummingbirds enjoy the re-filled bird feeders. OMG......it looked like a huge party at the side of my patio with all of the feeding activity going on!
I did a bit of house cleaning this morning, using the very noisy dirt sucking machine as I swept the new carpets and then "swiftered" the hardwood floors to get up the dust and other unneeded things on the floor. Having done a load of towels, etc. last night, I folded them and put them away in both bathrooms. Ahhhh.....you know it does feel good to do the chores(as long as the chore list is SHORT).
Then late morning, Mike Goldsmith dropped by for a cup of coffee. Sitting outside on the patio, the list of discussion topics ranged from families/children, school happenings and non-happenings, future plans, travel plans, and tooooooo many topics to remember. Seems we only get together once every few months........and to think that we used to have our early morning coffee in the band office EACH DAY! Amazing how individual paths tend to pull away from each other.......and it is difficult to keep them close together unless each person works to keep them running as parallel as possible. The older I get, the more I find that happening with friends from the past, both immediate past and long-ago past. As jobs and families change with time, these changes often pull and tug at friendships......unless......contacts and communication are maintained frequently..........a difficult task oftentimes. It happens to everyone........and it takes everyone working to keep these warm and wonderful friendships continuing.
The 1st Lady called this afternoon and said she was going to stay with her mother one more night.........and I certainly understand. She is not in good health.......and at 83 year of age, each moment together is a moment to be remembered and enjoyed.
Tonight.......the very enjoyable CNN/YouTube "debates". What a wonderful new way of "debates".......good to hear from the ordinary citizens and the questions and thoughts that are foremost on their minds.
Hopefully......another day tomorrow will bring another day of such delightful weather as we have been experiencing here in SE Missouri(it's not "Misery" right now). And if so, it will only ensure that:
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
