Why I like Thanksgiving & being thankful for what you already have
I Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
As everyone knows, that does not live under a rock, this Thursday is Thanksgiving. I have always liked Thanksgiving for many reasons. Here are a few:
1. I get to see my family that I love. Especially the ones from out of town. I am turning into my Mamaw. If it’s a holiday or Sunday dinner, my loved ones are required to be at my house. And if not, I just won’t ever understand what else could be so important that you could not have your feet under my table for that time. I just love them that much.
2. Thanksgiving is leisure time. Not like that other holiday that is coming up next month. Thanksgiving is cooking & eating & visiting. You are really not required to do anything except cook, eat, & visit. That’s easy. Oh & watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade & football games. Plus, we enjoy a little Just Dance, on the Wii, at our house as well. Miss Neenee’s usual response when I play is,
“Mama quit. You are embarrassing yourself.”
3. We eat our way through the whole holiday. I begin by hosting Thanksgiving breakfast. We fill our bellies full of biscuits, Mama’s breakfast casserole, quiche, homemade Danish, bacon, sausage, & various & asundry jellies, preserves, & whatever else I can come up with. Then, once that’s over, we go for the meal with the star of the show- the smoked turkey. There’s dressing(not stuffing), cranberry sauce, beans, corn, salads, shells & cheese, casseroles, rolls, so much I can’t name it all. And desserts that will make you want to slap yo’ mama & draw back at your daddy. **On a side note, speaking of which, my Daddy has already proclaimed his Thanksgiving day plans are to eat breakfast at my house, then, go back to one of the bedrooms & sleep until we wake him up for dinner. ** I love a well thought out plan.
4. Me & my sweetie get to cook together. It just all comes full circle. We love to eat. So, cooking together makes it just that much more fun.
5. No stressing out. I have my menu made weeks in advance. I get my groceries bought up. We plan when we are cooking what. We execute our plan. If anything goes amiss, it’s ok. It’s all family. They don’t care. Not like Christmas. My hair will be falling out before Christmas Eve. Seriously. It happens every year. You don’t have to worry about presents on Thanksgiving or making sure everything is just right. I leave that for next month.
So you see, I try my best, to celebrate Thanksgiving the way it should be. Being thankful for what the Lord has so graciously blessed us with. I read an article that has suggested showing gratitude is a lot more healthier for us than not being thankful- even for the everyday things. You can read 20 Mind Blowing things about Gratitude here. I do want to mention Bro. Brad preached an excellent sermon on Sunday- pinpointing being thankful. He said he had read a story about a preacher that was always thankful. He said one of the negative Nancy’s of the congregation came in thinking there was no way the preacher would find anything to be thankful for that day. It was nasty outside. Raining, wind blowing, terrible weather. When the preacher got up to pray, he said,
“Thank you, Lord, that not all days are like this.”
What a wonderful attitude of gratitude. There is always something to be thankful for. The blanket on our bed, that keeps us warm a night. The roof over our heads. Hot water. Shoes. Our sight. Things that oftentimes we take for granted. We as a society are so funny. Because you know what the day after Thanksgiving is- Black Friday.
Sad, but true.
I am glad you stopped by to visit with me today. I so hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Like every year, I will be so happy to be surrounded by friends & family. However, will be missing my Mama, too. She loved a celebration. No matter what it was for. Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll!! Until next time I will be going because I should be washing clothes.

What is gumption & where do you get it?
I would like to talk about something today, that some people may not want to hear. Before you stop reading all together, it does not have anything to do with blood, guts, or anything you might have to squint your eyes, just to look at it. This is more personal. You know when we start to get personal, things can get hard. People don’t like to face their short comings.
Since I was very young, I have been of the opinion, that when hard things are presented to me to take responsibility for, if I don’t admit it’s a problem, then it’s not. I don’t try to put the blame on someone else. I just don’t want to acknowledge it. If you don’t admit it, then it’s not really happening, right? My Daddy loves to tell how when I was little & got caught doing something I should not, I would say,
“Let’s just not talk about that.”
Not much has changed. Although, I do try harder to be more responsible, now that I’m older & wiser, ya know. So, let’s all get on our big girl(or boy) pants & open our minds to what I am about to say. If it applies to you, I ask that you think about what you really have going on. And make things right. If it does not apply to you, great! Try to help someone that it might.
There are things that have happened to us in life or will happen to us, that is not pleasant. Things that you would just rather not have to deal with. Problems that come up or untimely issues, that just have a way of surfacing. These are things that need tending to. These things cannot be put off. Like when someone passes away, or you lose your job, or your husband or wife decides they would rather run off & chase a rabbit than be responsible for a family. Maybe someone’s health has failed them. Or your health has failed you. You know, hard stuff. When you are on the receiving end of these tragedies, how you react makes all the difference in the world.
The most positive way to react is to get you some gumption. If you do not know what gumption is, nor where in the world you would get it, let me tell you about it. My Mama used to say in a bad situation,
“He just needs to get some gumption & go on with it.”
Or she would say,
“He ain’t gonna do it , because he ain’t got the gumption.”
Either way gumption is the same as courage or guts. It could mean having the common sense to do something, too. Now, if you have trouble getting you some gumption, then, I suggest you pray about it & let the Good Lord help you with it. Gumption is necessary in life. We have to have it many times, whether we want to face things & or not. People who do not have gumption are sorry, lowdown, cusses who deserve what they get. Life is like a circle. What comes around goes around. You reap what you sow.
If you have things happen to you, & you don’t get you some gumption & handle it in the right way, then, whatever comes to you comes. I pray one day you will see the error of your way, before it’s too late. A person who may have not had the gumption to do the right thing, in one situation, may take a turn & decide to make things right. You have to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, when presented with several opportunities to do right & they just won’t, don’t waste your time with those people. It’s Just.Not.Worth.It. I hope you don’t have to deal with others who refuse to get some gumption. If you do, just remember, they may eventually come to their senses. Then, we have to be there to have some gumption, as well.
Gumption is sometimes hard to find. However, if you want gumption bad enough, it will come to you. Pray about it. God will be glad to help. He said so.
John 14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. (ESV)
King David found out that not having gumption was a hard thing to live with. When he decided to sleep with another man’s wife & then kill that man, his regrets finally caught up to him.
Psalms 32:3-4 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. (ESV)
But David did the right thing. He got him some gumption & asked God’s forgiveness.
Psalms 32: 5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (ESV)
I am so glad you came by to visit today. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest today. It’s nice when you just lend me your ear like that. I hope it is a beautiful day wherever you are. The humidity has been released, yet again, in full force, here in northeast Mississippi. It’s just like the top was popped & ever so gently pulled back. The humidity just came pouring on out! I hope to be seeing you all again, soon. Until then, I will have to be going, because I should be washing clothes.

The time I broke up with Walmart
It was the summer of 2009 & I had had it. Every time I turned around, I was running to Walmart for something. My husband had been laid off from his job. We were turning off lights, taking shorter showers, limiting our cell phone usage, and basically only going to church & to & from work. We cut way down on eating out. Lots of things we learned quickly we thought we had to have, we didn’t.
One day, after coming out of Walmart, I was studying my receipt. Now, I know Walmart is the place you have to watch out for falling prices. They also price match anyone’s ad that’s a lower price than theirs. So why, pray tell, could I not come out of there under $150? Hmmm….I got to investigating more on this mystery. I went down the list & low & behold I found the answer.
Walmart was sucking my bank account dry.
I was going in & making my price slashed purchases. However, I was coming out with stuff I could very easily do without. I made up my mind right then & there, I was not going to take it anymore. So, I did what any full-blooded Southern, penny pinching consumer would do.
I broke up with Walmart.
There were others there to comfort me through this life changing decision. K-mart stepped right in & gave me a card, that when you buy your wares, you start racking up points. In return, you can cash those boogers in & get money off. Right off your total purchase! I thought they were just flirting with me, until I bought a nice birthday present for nearly nothing out of pocket.
Next, Dollar General became my new love. Do you know you can get $5 off coupons that make $25 worth of necessary things only cost you $20? I’ll take $5 free dollars. The Dollar Tree got on my list of favorites, as well. Do you know how many things you can get in Dollar Tree for $50? (Yup, 50, that’s how many.) They even have food now. As I happily started seeing my money being put to better use, I realized Walmart had too many distractions. Yes, I can get soap cheaper at Walmart than Dollar General. However, I am not bombarded with stuff, as soon as I walk in the door. Stuff that I & lots of other well meaning, moneysaving shoppers think they have to have. (But honestly do not.)
Sometimes my spiritual life seems to get spent the same way. Temptations & enticements easily lead me away. There are times I have so many things that try to get in the way of me reading my Bible. Often enough, I don’t take the time to stop & encourage someone. Or I let other things get in the way of me stopping to send a card to someone sick. I don’t take the opportunity to acknowledge someone’s problems because I’m too busy doing things that really aren’t helping me at all.
Such as reading all the wonderful, uplifting posts on my Facebook news feed.
(Ha. Haha. Hahahaha.)
Or perhaps I might find a wee bit of time to help someone if I weren’t on Pinterest pinning funny sayings to my board. Or looking for new hair styles, or pinning lots of lovely things to my crafty project boards – that I will probably never get time to do anyway.
James 1: 22 says But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
That means I have got to be a doer. A doer for good. Then, maybe my temptations won’t seem so big.
John said in
I John 2:16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (NKJV)
This means all the stuff I was seeing that I just HAD to have, was not only not necessary, it’s not of the Father. SO, I had no business with it anyway.
The apostle Paul cautioned Timothy in
I Timothy 6:9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.(NKJV)
Buying more things than I needed was foolish & harmful. It just wasn’t doing anything but leaving me with less money. At the time, I just didn’t need to be doing that. While things are more on track now, I still don’t need to throw our money away.
Now that we are in 2014 & we have been back to a 2 job home for a while, I still do not go in Walmart very often. My break up with Walmart taught me a few things.
- I have to hold myself to my shopping list. If I go in to buy notebooks for $.10, but still wind up with $103.17 worth of stuff in my buggy, those $.10 notebooks weren’t really that cheap, were they?
- I can survive without Walmart.
- Change may not be as bad as you think.
- I am not willingly subjecting myself to a store’s ploy to take my money. Because, hey I admit it. I am a sucker for a bargain & Walmart is FULL of them, plus lots of other stuff I don’t need.
- I can do without a lot of things I thought I could not.
- Even if I have money to purchase things, I need to ask myself if it’s a need or a want.
Just so the elephant in the room can move on out, this is not a paid endorsement from Kmart, Dollar General, nor The Dollar Tree. These are my own personal opinions, in which have been perfectly approved by the president & CEO of I should be washing clothes (Which is me.) I’m not bitter with Walmart. I think they taught me some valuable lessons. Some that I would have never experienced, if not for them & their stuff.
Thank you for coming by to visit with me today. I have enjoyed our time together. I hope you are able to provide for your family’s needs and wants. Just remember, too, God will provide. He provided for us while we were a one job household & He will provide for you, too. I hope you enjoy this beautiful holiday weekend. As for me, I have to be going because I should be washing clothes.

Camping schmamping
Well, I did it. After 42 years of being campless, I had my first camp out Friday night. It was a Girl Scout event with Miss Neenee. She got some patches for camping out, making s’mores, a hiking adventure, singing camp songs, cooking, & learning some things about this great outdoors of ours. She did get some mosquito bites, as well. You know what I got? Tired achy feet.
Learning about trees
Our sleeping arrangements were in a tent on the ground. With no air mattress, no nothing. Just us & the hard ground. Which did not help the fact that my back had already been out the beginning of the week. I had never slept outside before. It was a little different. At 3:30am I was awaken by a whippoorwill’s call & a dog barking. Giggling girls & young’uns on the back porch patio singing, to the top of their lungs, Frozen songs until after midnight, made for an early morning, anyway. The tent was hot. Mainly, because I do not know the proper tent/camping protocol. I, however, was not going to sleep with the tent unzipped, as I did not want to look like an open invitation to any sort of bug, lizard, or snake. So, we were just hot for awhile. I had 2 snickering, wiggly girls in the tent with me. After they properly yelled good night, to the little girls in the tent beside us, they whispered only for a few minutes. Then, they were asleep. I only woke up 3 or maybe 30 times from in the wee hours of Saturday morning until 5:30am. I finally had all I could take. I got up & freshened up. I had a cup of coffee & things did not look as bleak after that.
Cooking their own supper.
All I could think about, while I was trying to go to sleep is the verse in Luke that Jesus talks about not having a place to sleep.
Luke 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
If Jesus slept on the ground, I’m sure He had some aches & pains. After all, He was human. I know He deserved a luxurious pillow topped, sleeping on a cloud, kind of mattress. It makes me have a deeper appreciation for all He did & went through just for me & you.
Now, we always like to learn from our experiences, don’t we? So here is my list of what I learned about my camp out:
1. I don’t understand the term “happy camper”.
2. When camping, make sure you pay attention to what you are doing. My feet are still hurting for reasons unknown.
3. Bug spray is my friend.
4. I am not meant to be at “one” with nature & that’s o.k.
5. I really think camping, besides in our troop leader’s back yard, could be worse. I don’t think we roughed it too much.
6. Probably the last time I camp.
7. In life, sometimes you do things, you really don’t want to do, just because someone else wants you to.
8. If I had to sleep outside, on a regular basis, it would perhaps take the friendly right out of me.
9. Little girls have a big time camping. That’s all it’s about anyway.
Getting ready to kayak.
I hope you have had a wonderful week. It has been just delightful here. Meaning getting to sleep in my cozy, comfy bed has been a delight. I hope you are getting to sleep in your bed, without the threat of critters of the outdoors kind, disrupting you. As for me, I have to be going, because I should be washing clothes.
Kayaking like a boss.
World MS Day – May 28, 2014
Yesterday was World MS Day- so I pretty much messed that up. Because I am telling you about it today. A day late. Oh well, such as my life.
As many of you may be aware, MS is a disease that took my family by surprise, about 30 years ago. In the mid 80s, my Mama started having all kinds of crazy things happen to her. She was losing feeling in her legs & hands. Her memory was failing her. She had chronic UTIs. She was having back problems & other assortments of painful ailments. And she was only in her early 40s! After many doctor visits, much worry, lots of praying, & a plethora of medical tests that we had never heard of in our lives, Mama was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Thus, began her journey & ours with her, as the long road home. It was not pretty, convenient, or anything that she ever imagined doing. However, we learned, out of all the things in life you can really do something about, sometimes, your health is not one of them. We learned we loved her & each other more than we could ever know. We stuck together & supported one another. My Mama, Daddy, brother, grandmother, & I had people come out of the woodwork to help us. People that were right there with us, until she passed away May 24, 2002. For that, we will be forever grateful. You just can’t handle all of this by yourself, ya know? It was a humbling, painful, heart wrenching, exhausting, loving, heartbreaking, beautiful something you never want even your worst enemy to go through kind of experience. And I did not know the World MS Day of recognition- for all these wonderful people was yesterday. Serves me right. I am just awesome like that. Anyway, I got on the website, which you can go to here.
I did give my One Wish.
Maybe you might go over there & honor these folks, too. May I just say may God bless the people with this disease & their care givers. I love all y’all.
Thank you for taking time to stop by today. I am always glad to see you! I hope you have a good rest of the holiday week (this is Friday, right?) No wait. I’m not sure. I have to be going now, I will be much better off washing clothes!
Rearranging the furniture & you are at the right place
You know how it feels sometimes at your house, when you just need a change of scenery? The first thing I start doing is rearranging furniture. That’s exactly what I thought of as I was thinking of changing my blog page.
You are at the right place. This is “I should be washing clothes” the revised edition.
I know I get confused sometimes when I go to other blogs & they have changed. I think,
“Is this the same blog, I have been reading?”
I may be the only one that does that, but anyhow. Just so you all know. This is where you are supposed to be. Just had to do some Spring cleaning & changing around. Hopefully, you will like the new look. If you do, tell me! If you don’t tell me that, too. Next, I think I will clean out my closets. Well, I reckon I will study a little bit more on that one, before I dive right in.
Thanks for stopping by & always being a bright spot in my day. Just know I am thankful for you. I hope you don’t mind, that I have to go, because I should be washing clothes.
Easter fun
Easter can get pretty crazy at my house. Oh we do the usual stuff. We go to church & just like every Sunday, celebrate the death, burial, & resurrection of Jesus. Then, we come home & eat a bountiful lunch. Our family comes over & we hide & hunt Easter eggs. This year, I don’t know if it’s because I did too much hiding & hunting Easter eggs, but Lord have mercy, I got out of my car at work Monday & I was sore! It’s because of all the crazy activities at my house. I just know it. Or it may or may not have been all of the peanut butter fudge I ate. The jury’s still out on that one.
First, we dipped all kinds of low fat, low calorie goodness (not really) out of these bowls & partook of it.
Second, we posed for some pictures. Here is my sweet niece & daughter.
My pretty Miss Neenee.
My handsome nephew, Daddy, niece, & Miss Neenee
Me, Daddy, & my brother
My precious sister-in-law & me
Then, we went on to the egg hunt. That involved a few more people.
Mr. Sweetie Pants & Miss Neenee counting the eggs.
Mr. Sweetie Pants hunting the eggs. See that red wagon? He pulled that thing around & would not stop for a second for Grand to get a picture. That was about the jist of the day. There was more people at my house, who were camera dodging folks. But that’s ok. I will get them next time around. When they aren’t looking, of course.
I am so glad you stopped by so that I could share some of our Easter fun with you. Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend! As for me, I have to be going because I should be washing clothes.
How I talk Mississippi & how the Lord won souls
I have a strong Southern accent. Sometimes in my job, people who are not from the South, have a hard time understanding what I am saying. Even when they are standing right in front of me! I had a nice gentleman call into work today. He was asking to speak to my manager. He wanted to know what his name was. I told him & he said,
“His last name is Hawk?”
I laughed & thought, “Oh, here we go again.”
I corrected him & spelled out my boss’s last name.
The man said,
“I get you. I should have known that’s what you were saying. I speak Mississippi, too.”
When he said that, we both laughed & I was more at ease. Right then & there we had a connection. He automatically scored some points with me by being able to relate to me & my kind.
In the 2nd chapter of Acts there were some men that stood before a diverse group of folks. These men had the good news of Jesus to bring to them. However, first they had to win the crowd over. How in the world would they do that? Starting with verse 5:
6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” (NKJV)
Don’t you know the Lord already knew how receptive people would be to what was happening if they knew the disciples “got” them & who they were? I love feeling a part of something. I think they did, too. It’s just human nature to want to be included. When the crowd of people heard the disciples in their language, don’t you know they must have finally felt the message they were being brought were from qualified people that understood them? Oh yeah, you had the skeptics trying to throw a spoke in the wheel by saying they were drunk. (verse 13) Ain’t there always some of them everywhere you go? Thank goodness God’s plan was carried out flawlessly. After listening to that message, there were baptisms and sins forgiven and people saved in the number of about 3,000 souls! (verse 41) All because they felt like they were listening to people who they were in favor with. Don’t you know that made them feel good? Like chocolate gravy & biscuits good!
I am so glad you came by to visit with me today. The sun is shining on Northeast Mississippi right now. I am loving it! I hope you stop back by soon. As for me, I have to be going because I should be washing clothes.
If you are Southern, you will completely understand this comic & you will wonder is it supposed to be funny? Because, it seems like this guy is looking for wildlife to me.

Glorious sunshine & how to be unattractive
Well, there it was. I saw it the other day. Sunshine. What in the world was the SUN doing SHINING on my day off?? Usually it waits until I get to work & can’t get outside. But, there it was, the sun. Shining. I thought I would never see it again. You know how it is. The sun comes out for 5 minutes & everybody has flip flops on and some even shorts. I just shake my head.
With spring coming along, lots of people are trying to get fit. I was just talking to a lady at work. We were saying how this is the time people are throwing it into high gear with their exercising, so they will look good in their clothes for the summer. No one wants to look unattractive. We color our hair & get cute haircuts, try to wear trendy clothes, buy the necessary accessories, purchase new shoes, and meticulously apply our make up, whatever it takes to look attractive. If you are like me, those things may or may not all come together for you. I tell my hairdresser, I don’t want to be one of those people that you see from the back & think, “Oh what a pretty girl.” And then you see them from the front & they are cute as can be except they have an old face. Meaning don’t let me look too young for my age. So far, we’ve had a pretty good understanding. She politely tells me when she thinks I need to cut or style my hair this way or that way. She’s a keeper.
Did you know there are things we do that makes us unattractive? No, I’m not talking about leaving your eyebrows unattended or not combing your hair. I’m talking about our inward man. To God that’s the most important, anyhow. I read an article on Lifehack.org that talked about how people make themselves unattractive & don’t even realize it. You can read more about it here
These are some of the statements they proclaim make you unattractive:
- You are self-absorbed.
- You are rude.
- You are always negative.
- You are the boss. (Always bossy & have to be in control of everything.)
I Peter 3:3-4 (ESV) says that our inward appearance is much more important that what we look like on the outside.
3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—
4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.
It’s funny. When I read these verses, I think of both of my grandmothers. Both of them were beautiful to me. They were beautiful to anyone that knew them. It may not have been the clothes they wore or their outward appearance. One of my grandmother’s hardly went to town, so her daily wear was simple. Most of the time she wore a cotton dress or polyester pants & a soft shirt. She was a plain person, who did not require much. She took care of her family. She was gentle & soft spoken. My other grandmother was more on the go. She went to town weekly, to church every time the doors were opened, & was very social. She had plenty of nice dresses & pretty outfits. She got her hair done every week. She always had her lips painted & face powdered. However, when people remember her, they don’t remember what she had on or how she looked on the outside. They recall the meal she fed them or the kind words she had to say. She was always there to lend an understanding ear to a friend & had helping hands that seldom rested. She also had a sweet tempered and caring spirit about her. I believe these are the women Peter is talking about in these verses. Coincidently, if you read the whole text he is speaking of how women are to be in subjection to their husbands. That was another wonderful trait of my grandmothers. They were both loving & faithful to their husbands. I am so glad to have had wonderful role models. If I had my druthers, I would much rather be like these considerate, dear ladies. They were not much for puttin’ on the dog. They were from the country, hardworking, good to the core people. You don’t find many like that anymore.
Don’t get me wrong. I am a firm believer in doing all you can to make yourself presentable. No one has ever died of brushing their teeth or bathing too much. You can comb your hair, put on clean clothes, & wash your face & it will make all the difference in the world. However, if you are the most beautiful, gorgeous person in the world & have a bad attitude, you really aren’t that pretty. It doesn’t matter how good looking you are, if no one can stand to be around you, what’s the point? Our purpose is to seek and save the lost. How can a person do that if their ways make them unapproachable? If a person is so self-absorbed they do not care about the condition of another person’s soul, well that’s another blog post about getting your priorities straight. Oh, I need to just hush right now, before I go off on a tangent.
Thank you for stopping by to visit with me today. I hope you are working on your outward appearance. More importantly, I hope you are also working on your inward self. Because, every day you have to get up, look in the mirror & say, “This is who I am going to have to deal with today.” You are much better when you are kind & nice. I hope there is sunshine wherever you are. I will be enjoying as much sunshine as I can this week. Right now, I have to be going, because I should be washing clothes.

I should be washing clothes.........
