Seems like I've caught the girls' cold here. Throat is sore, nose dripping, feeling tired and sore.
Oh well, three days to rest and get better!! I'm downing the tea and the citrus, vitamin C and B+, and will hit the chicken soup later on. Then a nice hot shower and under the sheets I'll go!
Not much going on here today. Just been piddling around the house and trying not to go anywhere.
With gas at $3.99 a gallon, we're not going to take extra trips if we don't have to.
I received a lovely picture from my cousin in Holland of my grandparents with their two first born daughters. The baby is my auntie, who died two years ago at age 90.
This picture debunked the story that grandpa shaved his head on a dare when he was engaged and never grew hair again! *LOL*
The older girl is my cousins' mom, who was the oldest.
I did some figuring and my grandpa was about 33 and grandma was 30 in this picture. I guess they married late in life in those days. Grandma had (at least) four more children, and having them at that age must have been tough.
Called my mom and dad today. Thanked them for a check they sent for Bugs' birthday coming up. I told mom how my cousins and I have been talking and comparing stories. Got a few things straightened out in her head. Always nice to hear the other side of a story she said.
My father was his droll self on the phone, pretending not to hear me (he wanted to watch whatever was on TV)
Wheelie and I listed a few LPs on Ebay today. Just to have something to do. We hadn't done anything on Ebay for months now. Was kind of nice getting back into it again.
Although we really don't have much left to sell, he still finds a few things now and then.
If you're interested go see:

So all in all a pleasant day. Tomorrow we'll just have to repeat it.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend y'all!
SGMKJ!
