This n' That

 


Helllllo from soggy central Alabama!


Shall we?


So, the weather people are calling this a Fake Spring. 
Judging from all the flooding and internet outages, however, I'm hoping for a good drought.

So, what's happening in my neck of the woods?
Not much.  I've been ...



Practicing
..... Remedial skin care.
Like my father before me, the skin on my fingers tends to crack and bleed in cold weather.  I've taken to dipping my hands in coconut oil then wearing mittens to bed ... so Macie Ann doesn't O.D. or wear out her little tongue.  My goodness, but she loves that stuff!




Loving
This blast from the past.
My friend recently shared on FB and since, I've been playing it over and over.  And over.

Honestly, it doesn't seem so long ago I (might have) called these fellows "dreamy."


Don't forget the lyrics!







Appreciating
The Dollar Tree

... eyeglasses, pen light and super strong magnet clips.
Since last year's cataract surgery doesn't seem to have been worth a darn, I'm always having to find my glasses to read a label or grab a flashlight from the sunroom to fill the reservoir.

Little things mean a lot!




Reading/Listening to
Sean Dietrich's Kinfolk

Set in 1970's Alabama, it's a
"... song-turned-story about found family, second chances, country music and the poignant power of love and forgiveness."

I'm not half-way through, but like the author himself, I'm pretty sure this is a winner.




Realizing
This year's not even a month old, but.

Good intentions aside,
I've no sparkly clean closets, no unnecessary pounds lost ... not even a trip to see what really is Aldi's "aisle of shame."


Sounds like a winner!
Who'll bring the champagne?


Hugs, Myra
