Let me just say this about the weather...we have had two days without rain. That's right, two! It's amazing how the sun affects my mood. As soon as Poppy was off to work yesterday, I cleaned house! Beside the usual straightening up and putting everything away, I mopped the kitchen floor, cleaned the bathrooms, cleaned out the laundry room/pantry (so the repair man could work on my screaming dryer), even got all the throw rugs in the house washed and dried.
By 11:00 a.m. I was in the yard raking and dragging off sheet loads of leaves...four straight hours, raking leaves! When Poppy pulled into the driveway I was dead tired and "ill as a hornet". Something else I inherited from my dear sweet mama. :) The longer and harder I work, the madder I get. Knowing supper still had to be put on the table and knowing too that Poppy would not even notice all of my hard work. And this is New Year's Eve, for goodness sake!
How things have changed over the years. This is Poppy and me on a New Year's Eve back in the early 1980's. We were leaving for the Sheraton Hotel and a night of dancing...
The Sheraton had the big band music playing that night. It was one of my favorite dates with Poppy. I was crazy about his dark curly back in those days...
Have to admit that my hair was a little better back then too...
How fast those years have past. One of my New Year's resolutions is to appreciate each day. I've just got to. The days are going by way too fast. Of course, my other resolutions are to eat healthy and exercise more.
Better say goodnight. Hope to be back tomorrow.
Somebody got caught napping in Poppy's favorite chair...
Love,
Henny
