I will be going to Jeannie's early this afternoon where several of my family will be gathering. My brother and s-i-l from Wisconsin will be there and I'm anxious to see them. I often stayed over and visited them on my yearly cross-country trips, and I sure have missed them.
My youngest brother and his family, will be here from the Livermore CA area, as well and the parents of my late nephew. Both my sisters will be there along with a few other assorted relatives. Should be an interesting gathering, and would normally be a fun get-together, but I expect this to be a toned-down visit. As I'm not used to being in crowds I'm already beginning to get a little stressed
I don't have a clue what to wear, as it is supposed to get up to around 78 degrees today. I am usually cold and try to dress for comfort, but I'm at a loss as to how I will feel in a house full of people. Also, I live in jeans or sweats and t-shirts lately, and don't like dressing up any more.
I slept late this morning and as there is nothing I have to do today except to be ready a little after Noon, I am not really concerned. I guess I need more sleep lately.
Now that the weather is better the dogs are back in the dog park in larger numbers. I recognize some problem barkers, plus at least two new ones who do nothing but bark. I'm already sick of hearing them, and can only hope that new windows might keep out some of the yappy noises. I have never had a dog that barked incessantly and don't understand how their owners deal with it.
I wish everyone the best for today as well as the coming week. I just want Tuesday to get here and get that darn echocardiogram over and done with. I absolutely HATE the thought of having to plan the next few months and even the coming year based on health issues, doctor visits, etc. I want to be healthy again and get back to living!

Glad to hear your family is going to be together. I'm sure that will be comforting to the parents of your nephew. How about a nice sundress and a sweater or jacket? That way whatever the temperature, you have options. I too would have a very very hard time having a dog park in my backyard. You have my sympathies.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if I have a sundress. I live in jeans/sweats/shorts, tees. I did end up wearing jeans and a nice knit shirt. All the years I worked for the govt. I dressed up and looked good. The day I retired I donated many of my work outfits and started dressing down to where I am nearly at rock bottom, but oh, so comfortable! Also, being the matriarch of this bunch I don't have to impress anyone.
DeleteShould be a nice gathering.
ReplyDeleteYapping dogs are so annoying, I have a neighbor who has one and now with the nice weather they are out all the time, this dog barks at the wind and he doesn't listen to them at all. I love having my door open but had to shut it.
I don't know what people are thinking of - if I had a dog that barked a lot I would feel so bad that anyone had to put up with it. I'm sure that some dogs bark more than others, but I think most of them can be trained to keep it to a minimum.
DeleteI always loved family get-to-gethers, but then I moved too far away to get back to them all. Have made it a point to get back a few times, but not lately.
ReplyDeleteThis one was really special and I'm so glad I was able to join them. I was exhausted at the end of the day though.
