Top for the day

 

Circle of Friends

 

My friend Marie is retiring at the end of the month. We have worked together over 20 years. I got her this figurine as a retirement gift. Her and her husband are farmers, cattle and chickens. I thought it was a precious moments, but it is actually a Circle of Friends piece. That is really appropriate for a friend's gift.

Bible verse for today...

 

Soaring Eagle

 

Sister Helen when to a lot of trouble and many miles to get this beautiful eagle for George's grave marker. Sisters are the best. Makes me cry.

Guest room

 With a mirror. Greg put the mirror on for me today.

New hair

 

Helen gave me v a permanent. It m looks better. Would have been hard to look wrose.

$100 Caserole

 

I made 2 of these breakfast casseroles to take to work tomorrow. I use 2 dozen eggs, hence the $100. Oh, but...

I used Astrid's eggs, so I am $100 ahead.

Dishman

 

Came and fixed my dish. Now I can watch TV if there was anything to watch.

I did watch the very first 2 episodes of Downton Abby yesterday so I might try that. I never watched it before. Patsy loved watching it. At least it is easy watching.

 

The traveling lamp

 Helen gave Betty a pole lamp a few weeks ago. The lamp did not suit Betty. I went to Betty's this weekend. The lamp came back with me and is now in my 'guest' room.

You know it is not going to be a good day...

 When the first thing at work you go to the restroom and the toliet blows up.

When the toliet flushed, water started shooting out of the toliet all across the stall. Just water, but still, gushing all over and would not stop.  Had to find someone with a radio to call for maintenance cause water was pouring all over.  It stoped after a couple of minutes and maintenance could not find anything wrong.  But, Subastian, the janitor was just outside in the hallway, so he knew who caused the problem.  He kept saying, 'it's ok. it's ok".  The rest of the day, I used the downstairs restroom.

Guest Room

 I have made a guest room out of Hannah's old room. She left the bed and dresser. I bought bedding and added a curtain I had. I just hope I di not have any guests.

More new to me everyday dishes

 

I got more everyday dishes at the hospital thrift at Harrison. The are a Rachel Ray pattern sold by target. I got 12 plates and 6 salad plates for $9.  I like them much better than the brown ones I got a couple months ago.

And I saw Laura's friend Amy as I was leaving. 

Thought for the day

 

Happy My Day

 

Robert got me flowers and kitchen stuff and other son took me and Helen out to eat. Of course, it's a good thing that woman brought along her wallet cause he forgot his. If she had not been there I would have had to pay for all of it.

We got free desert because we were all mothers. After the waitress left, michelle said something about not having kids. I told her I would give her one of mine. We had a great time with lots of laughs.

Happy mother's day to all.
