January 30th: Friday Focus

 


I can't believe it's another Friday since this cold started, and I'm still coughing and blowing.  Didn't colds used to last a week?  It's been two.  At least I feel okay and am getting my stamina back.

I posted about my lunch with Wendy and Suzette on Wednesday.  We had such a good time!!  It was good medicine for me to get out of the house and spend time with friends.

I had a haircut on Wednesday and then went to Publix (next door to the salon) for a few things.  I still had the bags of clothing from my closet cleanout in the back of my car, so my next stop was the Children's Home donation center.  Whew!  Done and done and done.  I got home and made some vegetable beef soup in the crockpot.  It didn't take long for the house to start smelling really good.  Did I say I could smell!!  YES!

I intended to go to Bible study on Thursday morning, but got a call from Cindy that it was canceled because Pastor Dave had a meeting.  I decided to not go out to eat last night either.  It turned out that no one wanted to go out, so Judy canceled it.  I did some cleaning.  It had been two weeks since I cleaned, and the cat hair was everywhere.  I didn't do much, but the main parts of the house look like someone cares.

That's a good thing, because Cheryl (sunlit pathway) and her hubby, Pat, are coming over, and we are going to lunch at Metro Diner.  I told them we could have some dessert back here at the house.  I have angel food cake, fresh strawberries, and blueberries.  Whipped cream, of course.  One of their sons lives here in Lakeland, so I get to see them a couple of times a year when they are down visiting. Lovely people, and their son has a beautiful family!

Justin and his family were all here, at my house, last spring...

Pat and Cheryl, also here last year...


I have nothing for the weekend, other than church on Sunday.  Another cold front is blowing in on Saturday night and may even bring snow flurries to Lakeland.  That will be the first time since 1977, when 2 inches fell.  I really don't want to see snow!!  We moved to Florida in 1989 to get away from the snow!  Yikes!  It won't stick, and I won't have to shovel, so that's a good thing!  Hoping the snow stays away! 

Peace and Hugs!

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's all right."
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
