I've seen depictions of people enjoying a say at a spa. It looks like it may be a lot of fun but expensive. A massage, facial, manicure, pedicure.....that all must be a treat. However, in this neck of the woods, there is no place like that where you can go to try it out. But I've often wondered what it would be like to go and be pampered for a day. Me? Heck, I would just enjoy a day at a pool on a hot day or an evening sitting in a spa with a nice glass of wine. Sounds like a treat, no? I guess it all depends on your point of view and what might be possible in any given situation.
I had hoped to find an affordable motel/hotel that had a pool, at least but there wasn't any I could find that we could afford. All I can hope for is that Cee and I might go over to Kay's....if she is back from her daughter's house by the time we get up there. They have a beautiful pool that would be wonderful in this hot weather we are all having. We'll just have to wait and see. I would love to buy us some ribs to enjoy if we can talk Pete into cooking them for us on his incredible barbeque.
I saw pictures that she and her hubby have posted on FB and it looks like they are enjoying themselves. She was at the zoo with her grandkids and Pete was having fun fishing. He caught a beautiful bass (at least I think it was a bass....looked like a wide mouth one). I envy them in many ways. Mostly for their love for each other and the places they visit. I have always wanted to travel and I dream of visiting Australia one day.
I would love to be able to take my kids and grandkids (and my great-grands, too!) to see that part of the world. I think I would have to win the lottery for that dream to come true. I know it will never happen with the Beast around. He pretty much hates all our kids except for the Princess. But that's really how he is. He always has had a favorite and it sure hasn't been one that I agree with. You should love your kids unless there's one that has rejected family. We do have one that has done just that. She chose drugs and a terrible lifestyle over family and even friends that reached out to help her. Sad but true. I still cry over her on occasion. Such a waste.
Oh, guess what the hens did? They laid 16 eggs yesterday. It had to be that some of the hens laid an egg late in the day and then laid again the next morning. The Beast ended up taking all of them over to one of his church friends and they were really shocked that a dozen hens laid so many eggs in a 24 hour period. He hasn't checked them today so far but he prefers to check late in the afternoon so that none of them are in the nesting boxes.
I was told, by the Princess, that as long as our house wasn't warm enough to act like an incubator, we could go ahead and keep the eggs in a bowl or basket without refrigerating them. What seems strange to me is that the eggs all seem to be cool to the touch when the Beast brings them into the house.
Well, I want to get this posted so I will say ta-ta for now. I may post again later but it all depends on any new or exciting thing that happens. Remember, of all the things you can be in this life, be kind. It's a measure of your character and can only enrich you life. Love your family and friends. Life is short. ***Hugs***
