Is it really June ?!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting©pccrafters

Here it is June and I am still in a January mindset.  Too much sunshine makes me feel that I should be outside taking care of flowers and such.  But ----- I do not want to be doing that !!  How can one be lazy and do garden work at the same time??   Well ..... they can't.  And I must retain my laziness.  It is who I have become these past few years.  Lazy Lodi !  Goes well together, huh?!    But -- guilt has and will continue to drive me to the flower pots/beds and I will tend the little darlings ! haha

So what are you gonna do with your sunshine days?!?  Are you the type that could not wait for these summery days so you could get out there and do all the outdoorsy things or are you one that has greatly anticipated the warm weather so you can lay in a hammock and sip on mint juleps?!  If you are type 2 then tell me where you are and I will join you !!  For sure !! 

My older sis was here for a few days -- she officially lives just across the Columbia River in Washington state -- which is only about a hundred miles from me here in Oregon, but has, for the last few years been living in Texas, where here hubby's job has taken them.  Anyway ---- we have always been fairly close and have 'gotten along' with each other.  But ---- boy howdy, did we have some disagreements this time.  I am sure it is because she has gotten so old and set in here ways and her opinions !!  aaaaaaahahahaha    Can't be that I have also arrived at that same place !?  And believe it or not ---- one of the biggest 'squabble' was about some foikin' movie actress and what she had been in !!  How absolutely stupid is that !!??  Of course, we both backed off a bit and all was well in the end, but her visit and that squabble did make me think of how differently two people can act when they reach an age where you no longer feel that being nicey-nice is more important than speakin' your mind.  Ok --- so maybe it has taken me a few too many years to learn this, but I was raised in a time when you really were taught -- " if you can not say anything nice -- say nothing at all " -- and for the most part I still think that way and do think it is a good practice, but it should not be the rule when you are conversing with someone that does not play by the same rules, or ---- when dealing with and aging sister !!!  lol   I really did enjoy the visit and she will be back for a few days later in the month and I am not dreading that time, so ----- all is well

I am going to go do some lurking and reading ----

Stay well and play nice!!

Hi Lodi, I think that aging has something to do with "speaking one's mind". Of course, with some others it is just the way they are, "highly opinonated", you know, "my way or the highway" kind of mindset. I am glad your disagreement passed and that now all is well. Sometimes distance is a great thing in relationships. Hope you are well and that this is a good weekend for you.

LoL Lodi! Soooo ... which actress was it?! You know, I think my sisters & I have about reached that point with each other too. I think there just comes a time in you life when you feel like you DEserve to speak your opinion too!

You know I would love to have you come sit in my hammock & sip mint julips (YUM!) anytime you want

Hope you're enjoying a great lazy weekend on your porch
