A BEAUTIFUL DAY

The sun was shining when I was awaken at 7 am by my daughter. She said she was going to go to Urgent Care, they opened at 10. Her boyfriend was going to go with her. Her ear was still bothering her and I think she was concerned that it was lingering so long. My husband and I had a nice breakfast of French toast and bacon. He wanted to go to our local diner but I said what every you want from there I can make here. Which wasn't true at all because a couple breakfast things that are not at my finger tips would be home fries and corn beef hash, both of which he really likes. I could make hash browns quickly if I had potatoes, but I rarely buy or cook potatoes. Corn beef hash well that's another story, nothing easy about that unless you buy it in a can. And of course home fries come frozen but we tried the once and they were terrible. So we settled for French toast and bacon. After breakfast we had to stop by the bank and as long as we were going in that direction maybe we would just stop by Urgent Care to see how it was going. She came out complaining that the co payment was $50.00 and he told her she had the flu and that she should take Advil cold and sinus. He did give her a perscription for Augmenten and antibiotic but told her she should only start taking it if she didn't get better in 2 to 3 days. He also said her ears where not infected. We both decided that she should start taking the prescription, why wait and it couldn't hurt to take it. Even the pharmacist agreed. So she went to work for a mid day shift and she may start the antibiotic tonight. Luckily she starts a one week vacation tomorrow. I think she needs the rest. She started this second part time job in October, I got sick and was hospitalized for 16 days and then she met the boyfriends I think her life has been a little stressful right now and she is probably very run down. So after we got her settled and she was off to work my husband grab some lunch and then I had a craving for jelly beans. So we stopped at a local candy shop and indulged. I really should not be eating candy. So back to the sunshine. It as shinning this morning when we got up and shined all day. Low 50's what a relief,. We can't decide whether or not to start the yard work or wait until the contractor is done. He has lawn repair built into his contract so I think we should just wait until they are done and then ask them to do a little more then just the area around the extension and see how much extra it would cost us. The front yard I may have a landscaping company do. I have two flower beds out front one up against the house under the dinning room window and one I call a landscape mound on the front lawn. The old mulch should probably be pulled up and replaced so a good job for professionals. I had an old fashion clothes line which ran from the old porch across the back yard to my neighbors garage. I love a clothes line especially for drying blankets. When they took down the old porch and added our mud/laundry room the clothes line was lost. I told them at the end of Phase I that I didn't need the clothes line put back up, mainly because I didn't want to ruin the new siding to hook up a clothes line. But now that Spring is here I am biting at the bit to get all of my quilts washed and hung out to dry. Especially today because it was sunny and warm and a nice breeze. I probably have 10 handmade quilts. Most of them were made by my father's mother and grandmother. A couple were made by me. All of them are hand tied. I have one that was made for my daughter, one that I made for my father and a couple that we are "keeping" for my mother in law because she has no where to store them in her Assisted Living home. I love quilts so much more that comforters. I don't own one comforter. So I think when the contractor cones back to start Phase II I may have to ask him to put the clothes line back up. When my cousin moved to Florida she lived in a housing development that did not allow clothes lines, how can that be. I would feel lost without my clothes line. Myself and my two cousins and two good friends of ours all female are going to see Michael Buble, I think I mentioned this before. I stopped by my one cousins house who was in charge of picking up the tickets pay her, she made a pot of coffee and we visited for a while. She has a rough year also this year. As I lost my brother, she lost her father and her husband and all three of them within months of each other. Her father in May, my brother in June and her husband right after Christmas. So we had a nice visit. The tickets were quite pricey $90 each so I didn't want her to carry the burden of all those tickets. Five tickets at $90 is $450, can you believe it.
