So see? You are better than I am! <br /><br />We had a nice weekend. I put away summer and started getting out fall, we had a work day at home and then our winery visit and movies.

Then, when they moved, I got used to that, too.<br />We have an alarm and if that thing went off during the night when I was alone, I am sure I would flat melt into the mattress, I'd be so scared. I am as afraid of a gun as I am a man coming in, I think...no...guess I could shoot if he just wouldn't stop.<br />If I ever start checking windows and doors and closets, by the time I get finished, I am a raving mad woman..so I just watch tv or read until I get sleepy.<br />O...and yes, Lemon Curd is by the jams and jellies.

It is hard to be home alone because you hear every little noise that probably wouldn't bother you. It is beautiful weather, cool in the mornings warming up in the 70's in the evenings. I like a little down time, but then I still work full time besides being a primary care giver. I have to stay busy to keep my mind occupied with other things beside my hubby's illness. Hope you have a great weekend. I had a great time at the wedding and seeing family. My pictures sucked because it was to dark at the reception for good pictures. Her dress was beautiful and I so wanted a picture. It is late so I had better close. Take care Your Missouri Friend.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648865214694535566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-51864870214498196652011-09-07T20:12:05.176-05:002011-09-07T20:12:05.176-05:00Our weathere is PERFECT here!

I turn on the alarm. Lock the bedroom door & sleep like a baby. <br /><br />That picture of Milo was adorable. We also got a cool spell with temps in the 80's nights in the 50's what a WELCOME relief from the 68 days of over 100 degrees. NOW, if we could get rain it would be heaven on earth! There are so many wild fires burnign every where. In fact down by Austin (where I'm going hundreds of acres & homes have been destroyed). Thanks for the sweet words on my jewelry. HUGS! Have fun at the lake.

I just started decorating the cottage for fall. With all the palm trees outside, I have to put my fall leaves and pinecones inside. I have them in glass jars and surrounded by lots and lots of candles. I love the cinnamon scented ones because that really makes it feel like Fall to me.<br /><br />I never get a completely alone night. Once in a while hubby goes to a convention but, there are always kids here. That book you recommended sounds so good though, I believe I will go download it onto my Nook and lock myself in my room for the rest of the evening and pretend I'm alone!<br /><br />Can't wait to see how your kitchen remodel comes along. By the way, re reading your profile and the reason for the name of your blog, Blondie's Journal was a fun reminder of something for me.

I love relaxing time alone to do whatever I please... can't wait to see your new kitchen island all set up... the book on Maine sounds interesting, I will look for it... as for staying alone, I lived alone after I got divorced and before Jack came into my life... my daddy took me and bought me a gun, and I had already learned to shoot as a young girl... (my family never hunts though)... he did not want me living alone and not being able to protect myself... I'll tell you, I think every woman who stays alone should own a gun and know how to use it... okay, I am ready for the comments from the anti~gun folks out there!... and with Jack being a police officer his entire career and me working at the PD as well, some of the reports I would type and the cases Jack went to made me even more happy I know how to use a gun... I will get off my soapbox now... enjoy your upcoming weekend at the lake, xoxo Julie MarieJulie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-61688284963185284542011-09-07T19:10:42.540-05:002011-09-07T19:10:42.540-05:00It was hard to sleep WITH him when he retired &...It was hard to sleep WITH him when he retired & decided to STAY @ HOME, he traveled so much.<br /><br />Dying to see your completed kitchen ... aren't you so excited about getting it done.<br /><br />We are looking for some changes in ours but I can't make up my mind yet, tho they aren't major changes ... well, yet anyways.<br /><br />I will red her your note tonight.
