“One of the greatest labor-saving inventions of today is tomorrow.” ~Vincent T. Foss~
Boy, ain’t THAT the truth! Procrastination is my middle name. However, I’ve found that there is NOTHING more motivating than getting a phone call that someone wants to looks at my house (which is for sale) to get me motivated to finish up several little piddly jobs that needed to be done. Within 25 minutes of receiving that phone call, I moved about 7 boxes from the bonus room to the storage room, vacuumed the bonus room, cleaned off and swept the screened-in backporch, lit a zillion candles and turned on every light in the house. I started to bake some gingerbread cookies, but I figured that might be overdoing the “make it smell homey” thing - the candles already provided a nice scent throughout.
So first house-showing is now done. We’ll see if St. Joseph is working for me.

(1) My son and daughter both have a treo
and love them. I want one. I’m trying to figure out whether or not I can justify getting one.
(2) This next week I have the opportunity to fly with PawPaw to Dallas and then to Savannah. He’ll be in meetings, and I can sightsee and/or shop. I’m trying to decide if I should go.
(3) Thursday of this next week I’m going to my mother’s (Ruthlace)for a few days. I’m looking forward to that! I plan to go to a pick-your-own strawberries place while I’m there.Â
(4) My sister Joan (Daddy’s Roses) and her husband just moved less than a mile from my mother. It’ll be great to see their new home.
(5) Tonight PawPaw and I are going to our daughter’s home for dinner. Her nickname is Stinkeroo (given to her by my father when she was a baby), and she’s the mother of Sweet Stuff and Sunshine. I think I will make corn salad - using a recipe my daughter-in-law, Mia, gave me. She made it for a family dinner a few weeks ago, and it was delicious.
(6) I saw Sweet Stuff yesterday for the first time since she had the procedure to realign her nose on Friday. She looked great - no bruising or swelling at all. Yea for modern medicine and the resilience of children!
(7) I feel good. I’ve stuck to a diet for several days now. It’s amazing how that changes my whole outlook! Now I’ve just got to get back into exercizing regularly.
