Dark Thirty~

Good Morning!

Well, it's Dark Thirty and I'm up having my coffee. I'm really thinking I'll head outside in a bit and catch a sunrise shot. Hope I don't miss it, I'll plan on it and before I know it, it's up and no pictures. Think I'll just set my alarm. What would I do without my iphone alarm? Do you all use it often? I'm always setting alarms and making lists!

I'll show you a couple of collages I just worked on. When I get up early, it's play time. Nothing else. Coffee and camera and reading blogs.

 This little guy is trying to hide from me! He's like, hey will you just leave me alone!

 My favorite is the red hibiscus.
Yours? 

Here's my daddy. He left for heaven 5 years ago on April 30th. 

I was his only daughter. He was my knight in shining armor. My three brothers and I were blessed. He was a grand man, he loved us and we knew it. He practiced law until he was in his mid 80's. 

He was a rancher all of his life. 

I miss him so much. 

I know he's watching down from his window in heaven - smiling that special smile. 

Had a great weekend, it was pretty low key, well, a few moments were not so much!

NO offers. We did get a little shock around 10:30 Saturday morning. I had one of those dark thirty morning wake ups and I was taking a teeny tiny nap in Mr. Notes easy chair when I heard the jingle of the front door lock, oh my gosh! I was up and running to the front door as a, get this, a Realtor walks in with a buyer! Gasp!! That's a sweet way of putting it. Thank goodness, I was planning on someone seeing the house, I just was. Of course someone has a plan on seeing our house! Well, the kind and embarrassed Realtor was mortified that I didn't get the text alerting me of the showing. Ha, she was mortified? I was too! I did show some restraint, I was totally cool and calm. I told them to head out to the pool area while I literally shouted at and at the top of my lungs to Mr. Notes that we had someone here to see the house. He's not one bit quick acting...sigh. *&%$#  So I ran into our bedroom where he was sitting and was watching TV. Not even a bolt of lighting will get this man moving fast enough! By the time he was finally in the kitchen walking towards our garage door, the buyer and Realtor were in the kitchen looking around. Lo and behold, a chance for Mr. Notes to start selling! OH dear Lord help me. He's telling the man all about the new Wolf appliances, the upgrades, the new sink, he was going on and on...I was like, lets go dear. Then I find myself lightly slapping the buyer's shoulder, telling him, mind you, "you'll love the house!" Now, oh my, good grief, why did I do that?? Crazed moment!

We had quite a number of cars drive by and stop. Why is it that I'm lurking out the windows always checking to see what color, make and model number their car is and how old they are? I then follow the car around while going from window to window. Crazed again. This selling of a home is driving me silly. If I have to tell my dear sweetheart of a husband to put his toothbrush and mouthwash away again, I'm going to whack him upside the haid! I mean really, that is the only thing he has to do.

Sunday afternoon our daughter and grands came over. You know that an 8,6 and 4 year old love baking cookies, right? Well, they were key lime pie flavored and have to say, mighty tasty. Have you played the game Sorry with and 8, 6, and 4 year old? New meaning to sibling rivalry. I asked them to stay for dinner and son in law joined us after his golf game. We had Macaroni Grill's yummy Chicken Alfredo along with a Caesar Salad. Yep, I made it easy, ordered in. It was delicious.

Oh my gosh, did I tell you all that I started Jenny Craig? Shh, I've read we don't talk dieting in blogland. Well, I've only been on it a couple of weeks, trying to lose some of the weight I've gained since the November treatments started. You know this prednisone gig makes me have an appetite that would only be had by one that had just plowed the north forty! OMG. I'm famished all the time. So, I'll take care of that, just get some planned meals, right? Well, it's working, but not fast enough for me. My cheeks are mighty full looking. Don't ask! 

Well, goodness, it's still just 6:13. Think I'll have another cup of coffee. I just love my Keurig! I love the choices of coffee I have. It's the little things, right?

Well, I hope you all have a delightful Monday and week~ xo
