Currently...

The weather... it's 36 degrees, clear and calm. 

Reading... I just finished a Christmas romance. I forget the name. I'll be starting another this weekend. Probably. I haven't had much time to read lately.

Listening... to a lot of political commentary and interviews. This is a fascinating time, politically speaking, and I am interested in hearing what both "sides" are thinking.

Watching... still a lot of Hallmark movies and lately, thanks to the grands, a lot of Christmas classics.

Loving... this sweet girl, who will be joining our daughter's family in 2 weeks. Her name is Presley and she is a Basset Hound. I've always wanted one, but being a Basset grandma will give me all the cuddles and none of the headaches.




Thinking... my job is going to get tougher in the near future. We were already a little short staffed due to a few people leaving. My department hasn't had a supervisor for about 2 months and there are no possibilities in sight. Friday one of the supervisors in the shredding department passed away. His daughter and ex-wife work there, too, so both of them have been out. Another person from my department is done after Thursday and another announced that she is retiring at the end of the month. They haven't been able to get anyone to sign on in months. We are going to be working incredibly short staffed.

Feeling... thankful.

Celebrating... this coming Sunday is our 40th anniversary. Whoa. How did that happen? It seems like it was just yesterday.

Grateful... for all the little, mundane blessings and miracles that make up each day. The ones I don't always pay attention to.

Enjoying... the early darkness and cooler weather.

Laughing at...

  1. Hi Stacy. Presley is sooooo cute! You and I are similar - I also think that the current political climate is fascinating from a historical standpoint. I have also been listening to way too many election analyses. I also think Trump is picking an interesting team for his second administration. Your job sounds super busy. Have a very happy anniversary. We celebrated 45 years last June and you are right - the years do go by quickly. See you again soon!

  2. Please send cooler weather further South? It's way too warm here in SE Georgia for mid-November. Our flowers are all confused and even the birds are checking out the nest boxes like it's Spring.
    Cute puppy and a sweet name.
    I'm still laughing at the jokes at the bottom ... 😊

  5. Happy Anniversary! What a lovely 40th! I'm so glad you were able to celebrate like that. We went out to dinner tonight (a day early) and ate at the same restaurant where he proposed. It's nice that some establishments have been around so long. Many blessings to you, Stacy.
