This actually turned out to be a great weekend. Friday I had a dentist appointment so I got to leave work early. Errol and I went out for pizza; I have not been to Pizza Hut in ages and I don't have to go back too soon. The food was just so-so and the prices are ridiculous. IT IS ONLY PIZZA. We went shopping at Wal-Mart after that; got some gardening tools and containers to store away my winter clothes; they are taking up too much space in a very limited closet. I came home and just kicked back for the remainder of the evening.
Saturday was nice because I decided to do the things I wanted instead of the things I needed to do, like laundry. After breakfast, I worked on quilt pieces, went shopping again for a rose brush, had lunch with my friend from Detroit, cleaned the church, visited my neighbor, Elizabeth and admired my new moon lights my son and his friend installed.
Sunday was Father's day. I was surprised because during church service I saw two former Dental students come in the service. It was so nice to see them. After church, we went to my dad's for dinner. We had steak, asparagus, corn, and potato salad. The food was very good and we all had a great time. I did not get home until 6:30pm. I got Errol and my dad free standing hammocks; they were on sale and I got them for 1/2 price.
Now, neighbor news. My "bothersome" neighbor bought an above-ground pool. That is her business, but there are certain local guidelines she must follow for safety reasons; one being she must have a 6 foot fence with a locked gate, of which she has neither. Her youngest son is the type who goes all over the neighborhood, he is a terror and I hope she monitors his movements with the pool better than she does with everything else. I hate to see something happen, but I can feel it in my bones. The pool is leaning slightly towards our property (she filled it Saturday and Sunday and I don't think it was level - I hope it does not give away, if it does my shed will be flooded). I have not seen any chemical bottles, so I hope she realizes she needs to do this or the bunch of them will be covered in sores.
I am still looking forward to vacation; it was mentioned to me that I should not be leaving my husband to go away for 10 days because he is "sick". He is not sick; he has a condition that he takes care of and if I DON'T get a vacation soon, I will be sick. People always tend to forget about the needs of the caregiver. This caregiver had better start taking care of herself because there will be no one to care for me. Enough on that subject because I am sick of people thinking they have the right to be all up in my koolaid. Things Errol and I choose to do is our business. I am going away and having a good time.
That was the weekend and I am back at work. God touch the Russert family; newscaster Tim Russert was a favorite of mine and I will miss him so much. I am a Today Show fan and watch it every morning.

You are right--you do need a break and a vacation. I'm sure you would never leave Errol if he were very very sick--and as a matter of fact--you didn't leave him when he was like that. Don't feel bad at all about getting a break. That is nothing but the enemy--God knows just what we need when we need it and if he tells you to go on vacation, you go and have a blast! People are so dumb. Instead of telling you that you don't need to go, why doesn't that person offer to help Errol out while you are gone?! If they are truly concerned about Errol--that is! Smile! Love Ya, Jess
PS we missed you so much at the reunion. Prayer was so good this year. And we had a huge choir sing a few songs! It was so nice. We stayed until it was dark!
HI AUNT FOOTIE!!!! I'm in Williamsburg right now..... I am having a good time even though it is my first day here and all we did was drive.... I can't wait to see you when you come:)
What are you talking about??? Why will there be sores without chemical bottles??? I'm confused...
Ayana,
YOu must chlorinate the water to kill germs and keep the water clear. if you don't people get an infection and will have sores that are hard to heal.
Jessie,
I don't worry about those people; I just can't believe they have the nerve to say it, especially when they know what I have been through; they are the same ones who have said that I need a break!!!! Go figure, but as I told one of the students, I have reached the age where I don't care if people like me or not because the friends I have made over my lifetime are the true ones who have stuck by me.
