Yesterday Terry and I had to change out the rubber gaskets, which had hardened over the winter. (They were leaking and making a mess)
We had to pull apart the pipes and then reset them after the gaskets were in place…not hard, but time consuming. One of those little housekeeping jobs that is so necessary, but tedious to do. I’m sure every last one of you can relate to that in some fashion.
Today we try to take off…as much as a farm and running water will let you.
- Our grandson has two soccer games, either both or one of us will attend.
- Our oldest granddaughter has a soccer camp, which we will NOT attend.
- Our youngest granddaughter has a dance recital that Shannon and I will be taking her too.
Then after all of that we will be celebrating our youngest daughter’s 36th birthday…goodness time flies!
Most of the time Terry and I don’t really feel old, but when we look at the ages of our four children we realize we HAVE moved into the last part of our lives.
But we AREN’T Dead Yet….so onward we go! 🙂 🙂
Have a great Sunday you’all! It’s supposed to be 80* here today.
I’m delighted!!!

As a person it’s nice knowing we’re all still alive. What makes it better is health, certainly being aware and in many cases family around you.
Headed towards 80 here as well. Doesn’t get much better.

Now that’s the Colorado I know and love (we try to only visit when it’s warm ;>…although I know it can change from one day to the next and it’s done that when we’re there.) My daughter is a grandmother…now that’ll make you feel your age ;>)! (But feels wonderful too).

you’re not dead yet and you’re still living in your own house. I think being very active keeps you in good shape physically and mentally.

grand- children keep you busy, don’t they… I miss it now that mine are overseas and at university… time flies so fast… so glad you’re feeling warm at last…

You think things will slow down a bit when you get the kids out on their own until you realize you should be there for all the grandkid’s stuff which increases exponentially as they become more involved in life. Either it keeps you young or pushes you to burnout–whichever comes first.

We know what you mean about time flying that way.
It was hot here today, too. I am *not* ready for that. 😉
Have a great week!
