Weekend....

   I want to say hooray for the weekend. :):) As you all know I am retired, so that means there are 6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday in my week.  I can pretty much come and go as I please. So it's not like I look forward to the weekend, like I did when I worked. I do look forward to the weekend, because then my girls are home from their jobs and I can visit with them, some times.  Big smiles here.
  Today I will meet my sisters at the senior center for bingo. Hope most of the people there are done with their colds and coughing. Gee-zoo, it's the adults who seem to forget to cover when coughing. Kids have been taught  to cough into the clothes or under their arms these days. They are better at covering than their parents or grandparents. LOL
  Wishing all of you a great weekend. Enjoy life. XO

    1. Ann, I am thinking once you retire, you may need to build a pole barn to house all the pyrex you will be collecting. :):)Six Saturdays will be plenty of shopping days. I love all your wonderful things. I tell my daughters about your collection. I also tell them about how great you are at keeping your family history alive. You amaze me. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  2. So true about the coughing! I try to cough into my shoulder as the kids do, but sometimes I have to settle for the elbow if I'm all stiff that day! But at work, people think nothing of just coughing like a seal barking at the beach! Cough-cough-cough, and the whole office gets sick!

    Hope you get a good visit with your daughters.

    1. Oh thank you for the good laugh...I can just see them all coughing like seals. My daughter told me of a fellow she works near bringing his cold to work to share...she said it wasn't long and many were dropping like flies, going home sick. Good grief. I will try to get some picture if I see my girls. Blessings to you for a great fun weekend, xoxo,Susie

    1. Karen, I will tell you, by the time you retire, you'll wish you had twelve Saturday a week. LOL. I think we condense our time while working...better than while being retired, we tend to put off things a bit. Hope you can see your retirement near. Blessings honey, xoxo,Susie

  4. Well I'm semi-retired. I have about 10-12 months before I can end my working life. That sounds so final. Anyway I have to agree with you with, coming and going as I please, well to a greater degree than before, for four days a week.
    By the way I just had a cup of coffee and counting my blessings.

    1. Boston Boy, So glad you can relax with a good coffee and count your blessings. I think you will be the type to actually miss working. I still miss it. It's the camaraderie with co-workers, more than the work. Although I do miss fixing things. Remember my first day of retirement, I cried. LOL...it is final in many ways. Blessings for a fun weekend, Hello to Arlene, xoxo,Susie

  8. Even though I'm retired, I still look forward to the weekend. My weekdays are so full of appointments and things to do that I need that Saturday just as much as I did when I was working!

    I remember getting sick so much when I worked in the library. If a kid was off from school because they were sick, the parents just sent them to the library. I'm much healthier now.

    1. The paper is saying there's a surge in flu at this late season. I think some people think you only get the flu if it's snowing and in winter..so they get laxed. Thank you for the good wishes. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo,Susie

    1. I have had that little heart yard pick all over my front yard. But I like it best by the shop/garage because it does make that pretty shadow when the evening sun hits it. I bought it years ago at Hobby-Lobby. Blessings, love, Susie
