Unfortunately, there are times when somebody has to stay home to hold things together.<br /><br />Susan - Hubby and I are trying hard to change our habits so that we enjoy and appreciate more fully the "now" in life.

It is so easy to get bogged down in the details of the never-ending jobs and miss what's around you.

I do so hope you can get out there a few more times before the snow hits. <br /><br />Our kids hiked Old Rag in the Shenandoah's on Saturday. They too had a perfect day for it. I was home with 2 very sick animals. Maybe next time.Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294056530885964319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-51637504205470632892010-09-14T21:30:26.879-05:002010-09-14T21:30:26.879-05:00Apple Pie Gal - One of the reasons we moved up her...Apple Pie Gal - One of the reasons we moved up here was that it was such a beautiful area to recreate in. 'Bout time we spent more time doing just that!<br /><br />Cindy - A good reminder from your friends at the nursing home.<br /><br />Stephanie - It was the perfect day in so many ways.<br /><br />Erin - Like you don't work your little butt off 99% of the time! Next to you I feel like a lazy lout!<br /><br />P.S. Use "balderdash" when you're really mad . . . in place of a bad word. That's what I do. Your kids will notice it then. ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-46778981458486552822010-09-14T19:54:35.271-05:002010-09-14T19:54:35.271-05:00I'm SO going to work"balderdash" int...I'm SO going to work"balderdash" into conversation with someone this week!

I have never heard one resident say..Oh, I wish I could have finished cleaning my closets, or I wish I had spent more time doing the laundry or I wish I had spent more time washing my windows or I wish I had spent more time painting the siding. You know what they say...I wish I had spent more time with my kids or husband or wife, I wish we had taken that vacation, I wish I would have sat on the porchswing more often or watched more sunsets or read more books when I could see or taken those hikes when I could still walk......balderdash indeed!!Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-31478420194241914132010-09-14T17:02:24.465-05:002010-09-14T17:02:24.465-05:00Oh my gosh Mama...that is just beautiful!
