But I'm not complaining....

In the "old days", Monday was always considered laundry day. Women would work the whole day, scrubbing stains off the knees of the boy's pants, soaking the whites, treating and scrubbing the collars of their husband's shirts, then hauling the basket of heavy wet clothes out to the line in the backyard.... all that good stuff.

My laundry day(s)?
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday......

but I'm not complaining.


Schools around here will be starting Aug. 21st but for some kids, today is their first day back to academia. And that has changed my daily schedule.

Grandson #4 (Ian) is in band, so he had to be out to the school by 8:30 this morning and through the next 3 weeks. Since both of his parents work, Grandma gets to taxi him back and forth.

But I'm not complaining.

Our daughter has had quite a time finding him a clarinet. She did manage to find someone with one for sale and he told her it was like new, had recently been over-hauled with new corks and pads. Not! Ian's music teacher checked it out this morning and it's not playable. Too many air leaks. So she has to take it to be fixed. You know, you want to trust people but if they have something they want to sell, they can tell you anything. "Buyer beware"

Today is going to be another beautiful day. Right now it's 66° with a high of 79°.

We do have a chance of rain this afternoon and for the next 2 days, scattered showers. But that's ok. It keeps the grass green. Last year at this time we were up in the triple digits and I can remember the grass looking like it was dead. Everyone had to be careful. Some areas in the country saw huge wildfires and they lost everything they had. I need to remember that someone always has it worse somewhere. So when it comes to our weather...

I'm not complaining.

Husbands!!! They can be so frustrating. I said: "Why'd you do it that way? I would have done it this way! Makes it much easier."  Then for the next 5 minutes I listen to his explanation.

But I'm not complaining.

In the news, it always seems to be the same old stuff that I get so tired of hearing about it, until something interesting changes the story. It seems our Sec. of State has NO IDEA why 35 CIA agents were at the Benghazi Annex the night of the attack. No one has any answers because Hillary said she doesn't know why they were there and they can't ask those 35 CIA agents because they are basically under gag orders to zip it or else. Well, it seems that now the CIA agents involved are being subjected to frequent, even monthly, polygraph examinations,” part of an attempt to keep the agency’s Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.”  Is this America???? 

Now when it comes to our government and their actions............
 I AM complaining!! 

Hope you have a great day. 
Until next time...............
