thursday that felt like a sunday

So, yesterday had jumped two days ahead, somehow.

Today was even more out of sequence.

No mail, so that meant it must be Sunday... right?

But what happened to my Bugs Bunny on Saturday?

Was I supposed to be at church this morning?

What is going on???

I understand that I'm retired and that "every day is Saturday", as my stepdad said, but I still usually do very well at keeping up with the seven days of the week.

Nope, not this week!

Somehow, celebrating Independence Day on a Thursday just wasn't natural.

 

What to do to take advantage of this extra "weekend" day?

How about contact friends and family and let them know they're on my mind?

Yes, by cricket, that's a fine idea!

So I texted greetings out into the world of ether... and received greetings back for me!

My brother Smitty called me back to say he was cooking ribs and would bring me some!

My brother Tony texted to say they were at the pool and invited me along!

Cathy Mac texted back to invite me to her "farewell, for real" luncheon next week!

Jeff texted with news that they'd been sailing with a friend this morning!

Bonnie, my "stepmom", and I had a lovely textversation about the ribs in her crock pot and my Florida plans!

Cousin Penny sent more photos of her brand-new granddaughter - her first! - as well as one of her and Aunt Linda at a gathering later!

My favorite Rogue, Joe Guy, had a lovely chat via text that let me know that although he had to work today, he had fireworks plans for later!

Stepsister Jean inquired about my health and advised me to be sure to stay hydrated, as that can set off an A-fib attack - good to know!

Cathy in Cali called and we talked for over an hour, just me and her! She had missed out on my chat with Paul and wanted to have her turn with me!!!

Plus, I heard back from all mi amigas, not just the tres: Yvonne, Dawn, Sherry, Robin, Josie, Melaness, Lynn, Barbara, Sandy, and Carolyn!

I also had replies from nieces and nephews: Christina, Christy, Michael, Zach, and Hope!

The bfe even responded, as did stepsister Susan!

What a lovely way to spend the hottest part of the day!

(smile!)

Plus, I watched "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax", from 2012, when Taylor Swift was just 21.

What does her age have to do with that animated, ecology-minded, film?

 

She gave voice to the teen-girl love interest of 'Ted", who was so enamored of her that when she told him she would "marry the man who brought her a real tree", he set out on his bicycle to do that very thing!

I can certainly understand her stance.

If I was surrounded by plastic trees that had balloons instead of leaves, I would yearn for the sweet beauty of a real tree, for sure.

 

Thanks, Peacock, for giving me that AMC Summer Camp film for free!

And thank You, God, for friends and family that love me!
