Between work and my duties to keep my lovely wife entertained - I'm tired. My feet are sore and I just don't feel all that great. It's been a very long day. After the morning service Sweet Wife arrived home, loaded me into the car, and instructed me to drive.
I said, "Yes, Dear."
I'm a lethally quick study.
Anyway, my friend needed the help and I truly hope his little girls have a big smile this Christmas. He offered his four year old to us whenever we needed company. I told him to be careful as I need a child around and just might not return the little bundle of love. We shall take him at his word and then I'll just spoil the girl before/if I return her.
We then did a bit of this and that and after a pecan sticky bun and a cup of coffee at Paneras we hit the market. Sweet Wife wanted another pot of chili. After a quick hair cut I arrived home and built a pot of my world famous kick 'ya in the butt goodness.
The lady just finished a bowl. Now here's the thing; she's satisfied, warm and has her girly Hallmark program on the tube...soon she will fall asleep and I'll have a quiet evening until bed time. Hallmark will take a ride...

Since we're dead into the Christmas holidays business has increased so I will open the shop six days a week through the rest of December. As they say, make hay and all that stuff. As it is my feet are sore so by the end of the month I'll probably be crippled...but with a smile.
Take care.
Stephen
ReplyDeleteAs long as you continue to satisfy SW & those sweet children, you will be blessed a hundred fold my friend. Sore feet & all.
I hope so, my lovely friend. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, my friend. Thank you.
DeleteI feel better having read that.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ed. Take care.
DeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteYard sales and garage sales start on Friday here.
Sounds like you found your next project at your friends yard sale. I say borrow the girls and spoil them rotten, then return them to their parents, lol...
Yum homemade chili!!!!
Most garage sales begin on Friday here too...but my friend works on Friday...I shall spoil the child rotten...thanks, my dear lady.
Delete+1 on Bob's comment. Sounds like a great day.
ReplyDeleteIt was, Rev. Paul. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteI'm glad that you were able to help your friend, that you ans SW had such a good day, and that business is making hay for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you would be willing to try it but I was taught to use this position to help relieve sore and tired feet http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/690 It has helped me.
*hugs*
I'll give the yoga a try...thanks, my dear and thanks for the hug. Right back at 'ya.
DeleteI need to stop by and aggravate you sometime. It always makes my day when I tick somebody off.
ReplyDeleteCheck your email, Bubba. I stay 'ticked off.'
DeleteIt seems that Duke and I could possibly make you forget your sore feet when you're chasing us out of your store. Having a sweet wife is a gift few men have. I'm glad you realize her worth.
ReplyDeleteOh, trust me, I do realize her worth all too well. Thanks, my dear lady.
DeleteThis: "I'm a lethally quick study." I follow another blogger who uses word combinations that are jarring in their unusual combining . . but just so right. Always unique to the person doing the word stringing :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the love of a child . .
May your heart be peaceful til the reunion.
Thank you, very much, dear Cathy...you always make my day and leave me all smiles.
