Fifty and Femme

Hey Everyone-Don’t know about where you live, but summer has finally arrived where I live. Spring was rainy and very cool so a lot of spring yardwork had to be put off for dryer days and guess what, here they are and the temperature is hotter than I want for all the work that needs to be done. Oh well, whine, whine, whine–at least we can get on with things. If you remember, my husband and I just moved into our home last summer and we really didn’t get anything planted outside as we were finishing the inside and then winter came. Spring was just too wet to get anything done so here we are. Oh well, back in the old days of kids and summer vacation came that period of adjustment when the kids were no longer in school all day and everytime you came home MTV or cartoons were on, or their was food and drinks everywhere, or their were extra kids around-some you knew, some you didn’t, and of course as they got older that constant question “Are you going to sleep all day?” or when they were younger that feeling of “I am just not ready to be a Mom yet, can’t you go back to bed for another hour?!” Summer just brings adjustment, but I have to admit, I love the freedom of summer. Fewer time restraints, it’s light for so long that it just makes you want to keep active longer which is great because it burns more calories and let’s face it, sometimes it is just too hot to think about cooking or eating which is always great. All in all, hope you are enjoying your summer. I have more later as last week I celebrated another birthday–oh joy!! I did get a new–not brand new–dog. Patty Sue, a 1 year old Jack Russell, Rat Terrier mix. She is a delight. I will save those stories for another time, got to get back outside and sweat a little more. Later, Kathy
