Yesterday I took the day off from everything...the blog just didn't seem important. I stayed as far away from this laptop as possible. It just didn't seem important.
I relaxed, read some, spent time with Little Bit. She and I played a few games. Since we had a day long storm highlighted with thunder and lightning and hail we stayed hunkered down for most of the day. It was nice.
I even napped. Little Bit gave me permission. Once in a while we all deserve a day off from our blogs, and since mine was so nice I might just try it again today.
This afternoon I plan to make a huge salad of grilled chicken strips, baby spinach, red onions, cutes and tomatoes and whatever else comes to hand. If you're in the neighborhood, come over and we'll have a bite.
I'll see you later.
Stephen

I need to steal your recipe for the rolls...and the sauce. Thanks, sweet kymber...you have a great day too.
ReplyDeleteMy wife wants to know how you got my photo?? I know about your rain, my oldest is near you camping. They are so unprepared the tent leaked. Oh well. Don't listen to dad, and see what happens. Enjoy your down time.
ReplyDeleteThe rain sure hit hard yesterday, Rob. Sorry your kids had to camp in that mess...the picture, well, I have my ways..thanks, Bubba.
DeleteWhen I am crabby my whole family calls be a bear. I am 6'1" 330. Yea so A bear.
DeleteRob beat me to the remark about my photo on your post. Not sure why he thinks it's him, though. Enjoy your quiet day(s), my friend.
ReplyDeletea day off is always in need of at times. I am hoping to get a 3 day weekend real soon. The moon, planets and stars have to align for that to happen here!
ReplyDeleteHeck, just get sick...I seem to get alot of them lately. But when I said day off I meant one without distractions and chores. Even when sick I feel guilty not working. Thanks, Sweet Lady.
DeleteEnjoy this day of rest!
ReplyDeleteThe salad sounds delicious. We are really starting to miss good fresh vegetables here. Maybe in a week or so, we'll actually have some asparagus - a full month early!
Mrs. S., your mention of asparagus is timely...I grabbed a mess this afternoon, and, five ears of fresh corn...for tomorrow. The salad was indeed very good. We have fresh Florida tomatoes in now. Love 'em. Thanks, Dear Lady.
DeleteDamn--And my supersonic jet is in for an oil change!
ReplyDeleteNeed to kick you maintenance crew in the butt, John. Dinner invitation is always open.
DeleteTake even more than that. Relaxing days seem like an important thing these days.
ReplyDeleteCan't, Bubba. Back to my normal schedule tomorrow...time waits on no man. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteWe all need those days off, if for nothing else but mental rejuvenation.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Rose. Nice to 'see' you again. Are you well?
DeleteHey Stephen,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your relaxing and enjoying the weekend with the family. The salad your making sounds wonderful. Sometimes you just need to slow down and enjoy everything around you, including taking a nap. Life just moves to damn fast.
Very true, Sweet Sandy...and I did sneak in a nap this afternoon, all five minutes of it. Thanks.
DeleteTake more days off and stop scaring the ever-loving crap out of me! :) Be safe, be healthy and remember you are loved. I am awfully late to the news of your most recent "fun" but I saw it tonight and my heart skipped a few beats. You are such a special man. love to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sweet Lila...sorry I spooked you. I'm fine. Back to work, against orders, but back to work.
DeleteRest, relax, take as many days as you need. .And enjoy your granddaughter's company. So sweet. In My Prayers.
ReplyDeleteI shall...thanks.
