Looking for the Positive & Rambling On….

It’s been awhile since I have written anything. The never ending cycle of my life…so much is going on and then again not much is happening in my world…being a Home Parent for 11 days, then resting & crocheting for 3 days, then 11 days of being a HP, then three more days of resting & crocheting.

Last Saturday night we attended a Drive In Concert at Sweet Home Hall…

We had a lot of fun…good ole fashioned country music, burgers and beer for those who wanted it. Three hours of visiting from a distance, listening to good music and seeing people having fun yet following the rules. I sure hope Sweet Home Hall does it again soon.

Two weekends ago we loaded the kidlets up in the truck and went for a drive and some essential shopping. First stop was gas ~ don’t want to run out you know. Then we took the kids to wave and yell HELLO to some friends…the only downside was the only downpour all day was when we were in their driveway so not much yelling between the kids and friends!!! But it was fun to see where they lived and we can’t wait to go back when we can have a real visit.

Then it was off to Walmart to pick up a prescription and HEB for some groceries…even got our first watermelon of the season. And it was delicious!!! Couldn’t believe we paid $5.98 for a watermelon…both Ron and I reminisced about paying 4 cents a lb so many years ago!!!! We did have to teach the kidlets that the best way to eat watermelon is sprinkled liberally with sea salt!!!!

And then the most important part of our essential trip…drive through Dairy Queen or as the kids say “The Place That Shall Not be Named!!” 3 mini blizzards and two ice cream cones later we headed for home!!! It was a nice 3 hour break from being home… all day, every day!!!

On another note…a friend of mine on Facebook posted this:

And it hit a chord or two with me…so many people think their way is the only way and that’s just not true…we, each as individuals are as complex as we may be the same! And there is nothing that says we all have to be the same…yes, some of us may like some of the same things but I don’t believe there are two people on this earth that totally unequivocally are exactly the same, like the same things and not like the same things.

I get so tired of people saying stuff is 100% one way or another…I’m sure I will rock the boat or as someone told me yesterday ~ poking the bear with this statement…do I like everything about Trump…not at all BUT I do think he has done a lot of good things for our country. It’s like motorcycle helmet laws…do I think they are good…yes but I also think people should have the choice to wear them or not. Do I think someone would be stupid to not wear a motorcycle helmet while riding a motorcycle…you BET I do!!! But that doesn’t mean I stop liking or loving that person because we don’t believe the same.

The old adage…let’s agree to disagree and be an adult about things. And use common sense…which I know not everyone has or uses…heck I don’t use common sense sometimes…I know I open my mouth sometimes when I shouldn’t BUT I still do…then I have to deal with the consequences. And that’s the choice I make. That’s the choice each of us make when we choose to do or say or not do or not say anything.

When I sat down to write today I had lots on my mind but par for the course with children asking questions, the phone ringing because the boss had a question, having to stop and feed the kidlets my mind has wandered all over the place and now I can’t think of anything else to add…so check back soon to see what I am up to…I will try to not get into any trouble 🙂
