"Please Don't Take Mother's Day Away"

          Mother's Day treats. Lots of goodies to taste for several days. 5-11-2019 Perryton, TX

 

I got another Mother's Day blessing today. One that I can't relate, but I was greatly thankful for the gift. Thank You Lord. I have been nibbling all day on goodies I received through the mail yesterday. Delicacies of the best. I get to eat them all by myself as no one is here to share with. Best of all I had two long telephone calls today that cheered me up to high heaven. I will admit I am spoiled, and don't want to do anything any more that is called work. I like being as free as a bird, and flying anywhere I want to. However, just like the birds I like a mate to be close to, at least sometimes. I have to get up and move about to find such desire. None of those live in my house. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I think I like my freedom best.

At least the sun is shinning today. No rain is predicted for now. The ground is still too wet to walk outside of the grass. It has been a total blessing. We never had any hail or high winds with all this rain. I cannot say that about some of our neighboring towns. We Perrytonites were just lucky. We did have tornado warnings, but nothing bad happened. We had to get out our heavy sweaters, and turn our heaters up, but we have nothing more to complain about.

This is one of those Saturdays when I would like to be somewhere having some fun, but again I feel more safe at home in this stormy bit of weather. I hope to keep my promise to myself, and go to church tomorrow. I have been balking all day about bathing, and doing my hair, but that is something I can usually win out with. I hate it when my hair is not at it's best looks. Also I cannot stand not to soak in my bubble bath often. I only do that at home. When I'm away from home it's a quick shower, which I feel so unfit to put my cloths on after. It's just not like soaking in a tub full of bubble bath. I have my outfit picked out for church tomorrow that will make my orchid corsage look even prettier. How dare I decide not to go to church. I need to take some Tylenol right now. That always helps me to relax, and feel less back pain. After my bath I am ready to snooze, and I always feel like a new person when I wake up in the morning. I'm not sure if I will eat dinner out, or come home. That will be decided after church tomorrow. Either way I am always ready for a feast, since I eat a light breakfast on Sunday morning. I hope they don't ask for the oldest mother to raise their hand at church tomorrow, because I am getting close to being that one. I have never been yet, but every year several more older mothers pass on. I don't like being in the spotlight.

God Bless
