Being Sick

Sunday evening in church, I felt a sore throat coming on.
I must have picked up something infectious in Houston.
As my dad would say,
"I don't feel too whippy."
I will spare you any details.....
I just don't feel too whippy.
And it's driving me crazy.
I come home to a bedroom that needs changed around
to accommodate the new bed,
zinnias need to be trimmed, 
Bunny needed a bath,
I have some new patterns for dresses,
I have an order for the Rabbit Hutch,
James bought some fun root-beer and I don't want any
because it burns my throat,
I want to sweep and dust,
pull weeds..........
but most of all, 
I'm missing walking with my husband
*around the river*.
I complain about the wind when it's blowing,
I complain about the humid stillness when it's not,
I get rocks in my shoes and two miles
is a long way in the morning.
But I wish I was with him right now,
walking and talking.
Well, I'm pretty sure what I've got is temporary,
I'll feel better again.
Then I can sew another dress,
make some curtains,
get seeds from the purple flowers,
take Kimberly back and forth to work.....
AND GET GROCERIES.
I LOVE to get groceries.
I am never unable to get groceries because I'm sick.
But it had to happen.
I hope you are all feeling
*very* whippy today.

Sometimes all it takes is a day or two of not feeling whippy to appreciate all the ordinary stuff...

Gargle with some salt water, rest & get whippy soon!

Awww.....I hope you feel better soon. Maybe use the time to read something you've been wanting to read or watch something you've been wanting to watch but haven't had the time because of all the other things you mentioned needing to be done. (o:

Hope you are feeling much better soon. Just rest and don't worry about what is not getting done, It will most likely be there when you are feeling very "whippy." I love you, take care. granma

The TV box erased "Good-bye Mr. Chips".......it takes me about 8 years to watch a movie.....I guess that's too long.

Oh no... being sick is not fun. A "cold" just went through our church. I had the mess and for three days it was horrible, but I promise it gets better... Just rest and take the time you need to feel better.

Michele, you always seem to remember things that Dad says better than me. It could just be allergies..I had an earache for a couple of days and a slight sore throat.We have more pictures of Autumn than the others, guess we have more time with our last child.I emailed you a while back, did you check it? Love Kristi

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
