A Lovely and Quiet Sunday....

I went to bed last night before 11 PM, not at all my pattern these days.  But I was tired, a little sunburned on my forehead as well as my knees and just wanted to lay down.  I did turn the TV on and set it up, as I usually do, to be watching NetFlix on my Amazon TV box.  I have been watching the old "Emergency" series from the 70's.  While a bit campy these days, at the time it was a state of the art emergency medicine series, even though I do not ever think the emergency room doctors also did surgery and I am sure they did not do it (fully clothed in surgical garb while the emergency paramedics watched in their street clothes in the same room) as frequently as Robert Fuller and Bobby Troup did in the series.  I usually watch one or more of the episodes and when I feel myself relaxing, I set the TV to turn off automatically and that way, if I drift off, I am not re-wakened by the TV.  Last night I set the sleep mode even before the beginning credits had run.

I woke up to the alarm at 7:00 AM and felt wonderful.  Winston had spent the night in bed with me so I got him out, fixed his breakfast and then hit the shower.  Coffee, some breakfast nibbles and then off to church.  It was a special day as a young woman who had returned to Parkesburg after living away for several years was becoming a member of the church.

I got home and let Winston out of his crate and began the work of creating an Excel Spreadsheet for my Lions Club.  I can use that to create envelopes and produce letters during my stint as secretary for this next year.

While doing that I watched the NASCAR race from Pocono.  My driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., won... his third victory this year.  Then I got busy and stripped the sheets off my bed and am washing them and my laundry.  Mary Davis is supposed to be coming to visit tomorrow, so I do not want to have chores to do.

Even Winston has had a lazy day.  I changed the sheet on the couch, too, so he has been stretched out there and is currently under my recliner.

Just got off the  phone with my brother.  Andy has been a bachelor for the last week plus as his wife is up in Yardley, PA taking care of her mother.  Andy retired almost a year ago and I am sure he has found himself so busy that he wonders how he had time to work at all.  I am looking forward to visiting him, once our busy, retired lives find the time.

I also spoke to an old friend from Indian Acres.  I called M A to see why she was not responding to an email I had sent and re-sent.  We caught up on all of the latest gossip, so it made my quiet Sunday even better.  I now have her new email address and we will continue to keep in touch.

A day much better than yesterday!
