Thursday's Thoughts



1.  I'm so ready for a little weekend trip to Branson.  Not this weekend, but soon I hope!

2.  Since I have a birthday this weekend, I'm going to share 4 more things that you may or may not know about me to add to the 65 things I listed here in 2011.

    66.  I'm an introvert and prefer quiet, but I can be quite 

           talkative when I want to.
    67.  If you called me a night owl, you would be correct. 
    68.  I don't feel (or act, some would say...haha) like I'm 68 and almost 69.
    69.  I've been to Paris and seen the Eiffel Tower.....in Las Vegas!

                
3.  The news is so depressing that I am tempted to not read it for a week or two.  Actually I don't have to read it because BG is quite good at giving me an update  when he gets home from work.  Usually the first thing he says is "did you hear about...."! 

4.  I quite agree with my son when he said that we should be able to claim the government as a dependent on our tax returns.

5.  The weather has been delightful.  I've opened windows to let the fresh air in!  And we have some green beginning in the yard.  Yay!

Happy Thursday to you!

  2. Wishing you a very fun-filled birthday Cheryl! The news is SO depressing...sometimes I cannot fathom how much things have changed from when we grew up. Quiet is a good way to go...remember what peace their is in silence! Have a great one!

  4. I agree with your son about the govt. and i have the same thing with bob, only he is home all day and watches a lot of news. i don't like to watch animal abuse and if i hear or see i leave the room, he follows me around giving me details, then we have WORDS, LOUD words because if i leave the room to not see it I sure don't want to hear it... i had just told Bob i am giving up the news...

  7. Love the rustic style fence, it would suit my garden well. Enjoy your birthday and remember 69 is just another number. My number is 74, some days I think it should be 60 and other days I know I'm 74..

  12. Happy Birthday. I do hope you get to Branson soon. You are a lot like me- don't feel or act your age. Why grow up/old when you don't have to?
    Hope you have a wonderful night- xo Diana

  31. Happy, Happy Birthday! My 70th is coming up in April. Time goes so fast...

    Loved the photo and the items you listed. It's fun getting to know you better!

  32. You know i totally agree with your son....me, I will be 60 this year. So I am a bit behind you. #66 and 67 sure do apply to me...going to read the others here in a minute. We are ready for a break...only we want to go either north to Shipshewana or home to Tennessee. But we cannot all get well for love nor money...granddaughter had a stomach bug last week, today Roger has it, or something similar. No fun.

  36. Hello, Just got home from a nice trip to Arkansas to celebrate George's birthday. I will blog about it tomorrow.

    Now--it's time to start working in the yard, cleaning up all of the 'junk' from the ice storm. What a mess!!!

    Hope you are doing well. Happy Belated Birthday to YOU... Hope you had an incredible day... Loved your post--and all of the 'things' we don't know about you... I'm on the line between extravert and introvert... I am 'friendly' (as you know) --but truly would always choose to be alone --or with a few special friends than to EVER be in a group. When I worked for the church, I was the friendliest one around until I could go home and just be with ME.... I was always being invited to parties and groups --and hated it... Would usually make an excuse not to go... Interesting, huh?
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Enjoy your week...
    Cheers!
