IT'S SATURDAY AND I AM SAD

It was a perfect Saturday in the weather department. No humidity, sunny and warm.

It's Saturday and I hate Saturdays, my brother use to stop by on Saturday's unexpectedly. Not like any other time when I knew he was coming for dinner or to do laundry. So I sit and wait for him to come. I cry everyday I am so sad. When will this every end. Or maybe I don't want to stop crying because then I will forget and I don't want to forget him.

We started out early this morning doing so errands. First we went for breakfast to our favorite little breakfast place. A greasy spoon as we use to call them. It use to be a dairy bar/soda fountain type place. Just on the outskirts of the city limits, probably attached to a dairy farm at one time. None of the dishes matched and if you sit at the counter you can watch the women make, the pancakes, waffles, corn beef hash, home fries, eggs etc. Homemade bread is served with breakfast and they use it for their sandwiches at lunchtime. The best turkey clubs anywhere and this time of the year fresh made strawberry shortcake with real baking powder biscuits and real whipped cream. Just as a side note. Why do people think that complete strangers think that everyone loves their toddlers. There was this family in the little diner letting their toddler run up and down past the people sitting at the counter. The mother is chasing the child with a look on her face, not of embarrassment or concern but one of, "oh look how cute my child is." GRRRR!!!!

Then we went to Walmart to pick up a few things. I am having guests next week from Florida, my cousin and her husband. Well he is my cousin too. It's complicated. My mother was the wife's aunt and my father was the husband's uncle. Related on both sides of my family. Anyway I got some new pillows and a new quilt for our bed. I hate comforters, my husband does too. They are really useless, they only look pretty. I also bought some water goblets. I recently sold my dishes in a garage sale and replaced them with plain white and some patterns to mix and match but I had blue water goblets that I sold with the dishes.

Then we went to the bank. Then we went to this new bakery that specializes in cupcakes. We bought a dozen. One lemon, two peanut butter, two cannoli, one called sex in the city (I have no idea), two chocolate, one orange, one pineapple and one carrot cake. They were delicious, you would not want to know what we paid for a dozen cupcakes.

We came home and had lunch and then we went for a nice long ride up into the hills around the city. We do this once in a while. There are many lakes up in the hills and we like to imagine ourselfves finding a little camp type house on one of these lakes that we could buy and live there in the summer with the hopes of winterizing it and living there all year. Of course, these little houses on the lakes never go up for sale, they are usually passed down from generation to generation. I also enjoy looking at peoples homes and their landscaping.

Spent the rest of the day on the front porch just relaxing and watching the rest of the day go by. My cousin called me from her pool and asked where I was. My husband is not a sun or pool person so I didn't want to leave him today. I had been to the pool all week so I felt I could use a day away.
