DeleteMy father, who lives out of state, came for a visit with my family and I. He's staying for a week. We haven't seen him for over a year because of Covid and we're so excited to have him here with us.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Glad you are finally getting to be with him after so long. That is awesome!!
DeleteSummer weather has arrived. Covid restrictions lightening up a bit more now as more people are vaccinated. I am! Always have a good book to read.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be able to get out again and have some normalcy back after so long. =)

ReplyDeleteOh wow! Tell her thank you for putting herself out there <3 Glad you guys are getting to see each other again =)

ReplyDeleteI bet they are excited to do that <3
Deletesun
ReplyDeleteYes! Same here. We had been having nothing but rain for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Yesterday was our first day of sunshine in awhile!
DeleteWow this is a very generous give a way. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me happy recently is: the last three months my husband has been dealing with kidney stone infections. He has had two surgeries and been in the hospital three times. Sigh I really am not liking hospitals right now. But I am thankful that the last two weeks he has been himself and has returned to work full time and been in the garden and outside. It is such a blessing to have him back to normal again. Thank you Jesus. quilting dash lady at comcast dot net

Yes! Cheese enchiladas are delicious, and not having to cook is a fantastic feeling!
DeleteI'm glad for the heat wave, it is in the 90s, and a few days ago we had a cold spell it was in the 40s for days, and no heat. It feels good to shed all those layers and enjoy some sunny days!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Glad you are warm again! We had a bad week here in Texas back in February where we had no electricity thanks to the main electricity provider in Texas would shut down the grid for hours at a time. We were so cold! We ended up having to stay in a shelter because our house would not get above 30 degrees!
DeleteI guess getting my vaccines. It's important to get vaccinated, because you're not just helping yourself, you're helping others as well.
ReplyDeleteTrue =)

DeleteI'm leaving for Spain next week to visit my brother and his family who live over there. Vaccinated persons from the US can now enter Spain starting this Monday, June 7. I got the vaccine back in April. I was supposed to go over there last summer, but when the pandemic started I had to cancel the plane tickets.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finally getting to go! We had to cancel our vacation about 3 times last year due to the pandemic. It's great to finally be able to get out in the world again!

DeleteGoing on Vacation 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteI love going on vacation, but my bank account does not like me going, haha.
DeleteI was recently laid off of my job two weeks ago. Granted, I am feeling extremely stressed out and unsure of my current situation but I have really enjoyed being home and spending extra time with my daughter while I have been looking for another job online. Having the unexpected extra time off has been nice because I don't get to spend much time at home and seeing my daughter smile, makes my heart so happy :)
ReplyDeleteLike they say, "every cloud has a silver lining." =) Hopefully you can find a new job soon though. Being laid off sucks =(
DeleteI am a breakfast server, at a family hotel and restaurant, I have worked here for over 10 years and last year was not nice to us server,s but in the last month things have turned around. Things are returning back to normal and I couldn't be Happier.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine =( I'm glad things are finally looking up for the hotel and restaurant industry. So many people were laid off or had their hours cut back a lot back when it got bad =(
DeleteHiking in the warm, summer weather.
ReplyDeleteI can't do the warm weather. I just about die, haha. Of course, where I live, the humidity is about 100% each day, so I also get really sticky and sweaty as soon as I open my door =/
DeleteI took a mental health day this past Friday & got to see my boyfriend for lunch...I was estactic.
ReplyDeleteI think more people would be better off if they took more mental health days a year <3
DeleteWe've been having some electricity problems lately, and I'm so happy to say that as of last night, it was fixed!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it was fixed. Electricity problems are annoying!
DeleteHappy that my family are doing well.
