Ever get to the end of "one of those weeks"
and feel like this?
Missing a few dots from your dominoes.
Half a bubble off plumb.
The cheese has slid off your cracker.
If I had another brain, it would be lonely.
No grain in the silo.
Bailer done run out of twine.
Slinky's kinked.
Porch light on, nobody home.
A lap behind the field.
A prime candidate for natural deselection.
Gates are down, the lights are flashing,
but the train isn't coming.
GOOD MORNING !
FINALLY Friday ! What a long week this has been. I got very little done at home, but I can say the laundry and grocery shopping are done . Those two are the most important on my list.
I am finally taking the flannels off the bed and exchanging them for some cool cotton percale ones. It felt just like someone had turned the oven on here yesterday and I think today will be more of the same, but with a chance of thunderstorms.
My DS#1 and DS#4 and their families have decided to take a weekend vacation in Northern Ohio at Cedar Point Amusesment Park. They will be checking in there this morning and tonight after work I’m supposed to go with DS#5 and his wife to visit with them all. Some of the other babes will be joining them tomorrow, but I can’t go then as I’ll be spending the weekend with Dad as usual.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to see any of my family due to my weekend schedule so I’m glad to have this opportunity. I’ll only get to spend a few hours with them, but I’m excited to see them.
If you’ve never heard of Cedar Point, I’ve put a link below so you can check it out. http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/webcams/index.cfm
DS# 1 and his wife used to work at the hotel there when they were in college. And DS#5 worked there summers too while he was in college. My babes all had to work and put themselves through college with the help of some student loans of course.
So I’ll be ending this work week on a positive note. I’ll be getting my trip to the beach for real. The park is on the Lake Erie shoreline and has a beautiful beach.
Thought for Today
When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone-cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before together.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

Absolutely love your pictures! How cute of the dogs laying out. And all the others too. Like that "have you ever had a week like that" poem. Made me laugh. And "yes I have" had a week like that. LOL.
Take care and have a good day and have fun making some plans for beaching.
All of your graphics are so cute today! I hope you have a good weekend. I'm sorry you don't get to spend more time with your own family. But, I hope you enjoy your Dad.
Take care...Pam
