Marriage/Partnership!

I'm not sure where people get the idea that a marriage is a convenience of having someone else to do things for you. It seems that a lot of people enter into a marriage thinking of ways to "cover themselves" WHEN it doesn't work out anymore. Vows stated on ones wedding day should be "listened to" and not just spoken after all you are entering into a LIFETIME PARTNERSHIP! It's meant to be just that.... for a LIFETIME! Scott and I have been watching and listening to couples around us for years as they try to find ways to torment and abuse one another on their way to the divorce table. UGH! Everyday is not peace and harmony with us but we have learned to HELP each other through the rough patches and not sought out ways to pour salt in wounds or poke at issues until they become explosive. We tend to help each other through our days together... who ever is up first makes coffee, whoever cooks doesn't necessarily have to be the one that does the dishes, Listen - just listen when one is having a bad day and just needs to vent; coming up with ideas to help the other through difficult times or with projects that take more than one to complete. For us one completes the other.

Setting changes

I had to make some changes to my blog as I have had some comments left that were trouble makers that had to be dealt with and deleted. So comments from anonymous can't be posted anymore and I will be reviewing comments before they are posted.

DMV. baby gifts and Greg

Well I made it through the DMV experience... and I have the UGLY picture to prove it and what luck I get to look at it every time I open my wallet for the next 10 years! After I finished at the DMV I went to AC Moore and bought 2 One Pound yarns to make a baby hoodie for Lenora's new baby. And then I went to Hancock Fabric and lucked out and found several Care Bear prints on sale for 30% off so I can make her a small quilt as well. I also stopped at Jo-Ann's and bought the last on a bolt of rainbow flannel to back the quilt for just $3 a yard. I went ahead and bought two packs of lime green quilt binding for the quilt as well since they had 2 coupons in store that I could use at the same time - one 40% off and the other 50% off. I had thought about doing a little clothes shopping as well but changed my mind and just came home as Greg is having a bad day and needed Mom readily available to talk to. He is nearing the point of entry into the Navy and is having a bit of a hard time pulling things together. I told him I can't help him with it as he has to show that he is responsible enough to do it on his own or he will never live it down but that I would be here when he comes back home. I worry so about him but have faith that he will be all right eventually.

Back to the chill!

It's a bit chilly here this morning and the heat feels nice. I've got to go on my GRAND ADVENTURE to the DMV today. I think I will go out to Irmo to do it as that location seems to flow better and I don't want to spend my entire day off there. I have other things that I need to get done around here.

Tuesday evening!

Here it is tuesday evening and Tesla is letting us know that Tara is at the window... ready for "snack" - like he really needs a snack.

I'm off tomorrow and have to go and renew my driver's license - YUCK the DMV! Oh well at least a license is good for 10 years here in South Carolina. So it'll be awhile before I have to go again. I'm looking forward to sleeping in a bit in the morning. These past few 5 AM mornings have been ruff!Normally I am an early morning person but the days have been LONG as well as early.

Sports car quiz

I'm a Mazda Miata!

You like to soak up the sun, but your tastes are down to earth. Everyone thinks you're cute. Life is a winding road, and you like to take the curves in stride. Let other people compete in the rat race - you're just here to enjoy the ride.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

OH! Of course we stopped!

We had to stop and walk around our own acreage while up that way. On the way through Columbia we were stopped at a light and saw these Robin's taking a bath in a puddle off in a yard.
