Wow! I’m actually sitting outside with short sleeves!

I have a few exciting things to share. I just finished vacuuming all my front porch furniture and it feels so good. I actually thought I might have to get new pillows this year because I was a bad girl, I never took them in over the winter and the cat has slept on them all this time. Niiiiiiiiice.

Well, yesterday we got away on an afternoon date. As we drove out of town and I was enjoying the sun and the freshness of spring, life breaking out everywhere! I was thinking about how much I love a date in the afternoon, even if we did have a young man in the back seat. I think our life will be more and more like this and I choose to enjoy it and maybe even chuckle at the humor in it. Our friends are moving in to that empty nest syndrome but we may never know that and what am I going to do about it but choose to smile.

Anyway, I digress. We got to Olympia and I was headed to return some shoes when Kenny said “We should get an Oreck vacuum cleaner!” We turned in to the strip mall, had the demo and walked out with this….

Woo hoo! I have never had a decent vacuum cleaner in all our almost 35 years of being married! Of course you get the little hand held canister with it and today I put it to use. The cushions are like new! What a great feeling. All I need now is a few pots of flowers and new door mat.

Now I sit here, enjoying the fruit of my labor. (haha….about 30 minutes). I’ve got my mac and I’m listening to Melina’s cd. Nothing like a sunny day, spring in the air and easy listening music! (especially when you just love the girl behind the voice!)

I found this the other night when I couldn’t sleep so I leave with this for your listening pleasure!
