Top of the Morning

"Top of the Morning" - my morning text message from Bill. Walking outside to feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face, appreciating the "break" in winter weather, the birds singing all around with the promise of spring to come, yes, it is very much "the top of the morning"! Bill, who is married, with 4 children, being "Mr. Mom" while his wife furthers her education, spent yesterday at the science fair. I spent the day cleaning.

The monkey grass came out of my father's yard. When he died, my mother sold their house, so I wanted to take a "piece" of him with me. This picture shows the "gold" shining through.

My friend David spent the weekend with his son, texting me tales of their time together. My oldest son is 35, middle son 22, and my daughter is 15. I have been blessed to spread out my motherhood quite a bit. Those memories of going to the park, flying a kite, chasing squirrels are endless.

A friend called me late last night and said, "I'm going to the Gold Rush, I'll come by and pick you up". Indeed, she did. My daughter had a friend spending the night and they were getting ready to leave for a party. So, yes, I did go and enjoy myself. After 1 glass of wine, and one shot of tequila, my friend ordered food. My friend sat at the bar chatting with others. I, on the other hand, moved about from one room to the other, shooting pool. It appears my game is off these days. That's ok, at least I tried. Not sure what time my head found my pillow last night, but I do know I love sunshine in the morning!

My friend, knowing my financial situation - trying to help my son while he is in college - well, she paid for our night at the Gold Rush - yes, the little things in life definitely puts a smile on my face!
