Hello! So sorry I didn’t make it here yesterday. We are home now, and guess what happened while we were gone? Our washing machine died. Today we had to go pick out a new washer and dryer. The washer and dryer we are getting rid of were hand-me-downs from my sister and brother in law. The boys were babies when we got them, so we were blessed many years to have such a good set. Hopefully the ones we decided on will last many years too. Hopefully they’ll be delivered this week too. Being gone a week means we already have a week’s worth of laundry to do, and we don’t have unlimited pair of undergarments! 😱😂

Let’s see if I can hit everything you posted for the past 2 days: Coffee Day-I love the smell of coffee, but I’m not a big fan of the taste. VFWW Day-We have a dear friend who is really involved in our town’s VFW, so we try to support him and them often. They do great things for our community. Family Health & Fitness Day-more awareness to children’s health needs to happen, as kids don’t get out and play/exercise as we did when we were little. Teaching parents to teach their kids good healthy habits is important! I didn’t hunt any ghosts on Ghost Hunting Day, and I don’t plan on ever hunting for one. 👻 I try to show everyone love, as it’s the second greatest commandment. Of course, it’s difficult to do to those who don’t show us love in return. I try to remember that the commandment doesn’t say to love those who are easy to love. It say EVERYONE, and I do try to live up to that. It sure can be hard though! 💖 I haven’t chewed gum since probably high school, and I have never had any kind of mud pack treatments. I did like to play in it when I was little, though! 😁 I love warm, mulled cider, but usually have it around Christmas time. I’m working on saving and protecting my photos, especially old ones that I have scanned and added to my genealogy. I’m doing the same for old documents too, such as a 111 year-old baptismal certificate I have for my great Aunt Alice. She was baptized in Minnesota, but in a Swedish church, so it’s all on the Swedish language. I’m so glad there’s a day honoring Gold Star moms! Families of service members make just as big a sacrifice as the service members do, including the ultimate sacrifice when they lose their son/daughter. ❤️🇺🇸💙

Bixby was sooo happy to see us! I couldn’t wait for the door to be unlocked to rush in and grab him. That’s the longest we left him. Our youngest and his new puppy stayed here to watch Bixby, so he was in good hands. Gilbert, the new puppy, was happy to see us too. I hated to leave Bixby this morning when we left to look at washers and dryers. Bixby sends many happy hugs. Grab them while you can because he’s so excited! I’m sending some cider hugs, complete with a yummy scent! 🤗🤗🐶😁🍎🇺🇸💖😘🌻
