Frustration

This post is going to be very short because I’ve been busy most of the time with my guests, going late to be and I’m predicting that this morning it’s going to be stressing. I got to take my almost new Jeep SUV that the rear side window is open and we have no way to get it shot again, the electric button doesn’t work, it worked to lower it but not to roll it shut. The weather as is makes it impossible to drive with that window open. I’m going to the Car Mechanic to get it fixed. I’m so frustrated with this. Meanwhile we’re using Lucy’s SUV, but she uses it for work and Tyler’s school.

I’ll let you know more about it tomorrow or day after.

Good Old Times

Having my relatives as guests at home is incredibly, like going through a time tunnel and when we sit round a table conversation is the main feature. We remember things that happen when we were just tots and teens. We reminisce to times when our families used to get together and we had lots of fun. Last night we were viewing photographs, old and new and the conversation starts again and we could continue for hours because one thing leads to another and one lose track of the time. Of the sudden one realize that is midnight and the next day is going to be a busy day again.

Thanks for your patience folks!

Laughing is Good!

My visitors (cousin and wife) arrived Wed. night from Florida and were surprised by the 34ºF at 8:30 pm. Coming from a cruise to the Bahamas and Florida, they were shocked by the drastic change of weather.

Next morning after breakfast we gave them a grand tour around the county pretty residential areas. My cousin’s wife was enchanted by the country life and the gorgeous homes that have been built in the surrounding areas. Quite a contrast to big city life.

We had a long hearty meal at home and we told stories and reminisced about old times. It was a lot of fun listening to stories that happened when we were teenagers. At times we laughed so hard about our young little capers.

I was thinking of uploading my posts at night because I’m going to be busy during that day. Please forgive me for any inconvenience.
