Skip Dinner

I’m thinking about heading straight to desert tonight. I won’t have this selection, but I do have some ice cream in the fridge.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • A beautiful ride today earlier. So good I think I’ll take another one this evening.
  • It’s upsetting to see leaves dropping already.
  • My daughter set up her classroom today prepping for the arrival of her next set of minds.
  • People smile at each other less at gas stations this year.
  • Each day in Trumpland gets more disgusting.

It’s going 2 be a Sweet Weekend

Even with the rain, it’s going to be a Sweet weekend ahead.

Time with family is sweet and this weekend I have some. I had a great time with two best friends last night so my weekend is off to a flying start already.

I also have some time to explore my hobbies and I’d like to complete some carving this weekend. Being a one-man band I find it hard at times to keep up with it all but it’s fun trying. I find the more organized I am the more progress I make.

Working on being a better finisher is something I need to continue to do. I did finish a series of prints for some friends of their families. I have some more pictures from NYC to edit. There are 4 more panels to carve this weekend for my clock project. And I have to make prints for my granddaughter’s graduation.

Hell, my to-do lists are miles long. And I take some pride in that I have more than enough to keep me busy and happy in my senior years.

I’m going to try something new with technology starting today and I’ll let you know how it works out soon. If it does work, it should show here over time.
