Celebration

This weekend is Memorial Day.  I don't have anyone I know in my family or friends of family who has lost a loved one in a war.  There were many older folks in my home town that lost sons but they were older and when you are young you don't seem to pay attention.  We miss the stories of these wonderful people.

Yesterday we attended a friends wedding and it was such a beautiful day.  The weather was cooperative, the company was good - many people we knew, and the bride was beautiful.  Seriously she was picture perfect.  We need to spend more time celebrating both the big and little occasions in life.

I finished a baby blanket for a lady at work, had the baby 2 weeks ago, need to get over and visit.

The weather today temperature wise is wonderful, 60's and 70s.  The wind is horrid.

A Good but Sad Day

As background when I go to the casino my husband gives me $40.  When it is gone I pull out my knitting or book.  If I end up ahead at the end of the night I pay him back and the extra is mine.  Tonight I have an extra $90 to put in my envelope savings.  My mother also deposited money in one of my accounts for Christmas, so another $300 for savings. 

On a sadder note do you ever have to say goodbye to someone and it almost feels like a death.  A co-worker who has become a very dear friend is moving.  His wife moved about 6 months ago, he sold their house and now he is joining her.  There was absolutely nothing more than friendship but I am emotional about him leaving.  I will miss his calm gentle spirit.  I wish him all the happiness in the world.

More snow in the forecast, ugh.
