Another Great Day

Usual morning in that I put coffee on, had a cup and went to work. I did have a friend pick me up and bring me to work since Gina wanted to go shopping today. I had another easy and smooth day at work. I spoke to Gina and she was at Walmart (figure that). She was picking up a few items that I we needed. Next time I spoke to her she was at Hobby Lobby. I believe outside of shopping for clothes this is her favorite store. Although I do not know why since we out of space in our home, both shelf and wall space. I reminded her of that and she says I'm buying a couple of things for our garden back in Louisiana. Here are a few pictures of our garden.

We are having a wedding on April 4th in our garden and she was picking up a few items to decorate it with. Our children’s adopted grandparent's son is getting married in our garden. If you know Gina she will have it looking great. She also reminded me how nice it was not to have me looking over her shoulder since it gave her time to touch and hold every item in the store. She reminded me of a t-shirt in Fredericksburg that said “Shopping with your man is like hunting with the game warden”. I guess that about sums up why women like shopping without their man. Plus, I believe we can normally find a million other things to do than watch our wives shop. It might just be me but I like to think I’m in the majority of husbands. Really, I do not mind most of the times to go with her but it is nice to let her go by herself since I know she really enjoys it.

When I got home she was cooking again. This is wonderful since normally she waits for me to get home so I can put something on the grill outside. However, today she wanted to try something different. She was making Mexican pizzas. They are really a tostada's but she called them a pizza. I thought they were great since I love all Mexican foods. We then walked up to the library here and she found a few books to read. While while we were walking back home she asked if we could go to TCBY. Me, being the good husband said of course we can, anything for my sweetheart. So off we go at eight o’clock to get frozen yogurt. I joked around with her that it took 40 minutes of driving for her 12 minutes of delight. Once back home I had to sew a button on a pair of pants that the dry cleaners had broken. I love the easiness of dry cleaners but they always break buttons in their presses. Normally they fix them but I had reminded them twice and it just didn’t get fixed so I decided I would sew it back on and be done with it. It kinda reminded me of my early days in the Navy when I had to fix our own clothes because there was no dry cleaners or alterations at sea. Once I finished my sewing I tried to work on this blog but just couldn’t get into it. So I went and got in bed and watched TV while Gina was reading her book. I know that it wasn't real exciting but none the less it was our day. We consider everyday that we get to spend time together is A Great Day.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope you all have a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.

I leave you all with this poem. I would give credit to the author but it’s unknown.

God’s Minute
I have only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me – can’t refuse it,
Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it –
But it’s up to me to use it,
I must suffer if I lose it,
Give account if I abuse it,
Just a tiny little minute . . . .

But eternity is in it.
