Weekly Musings of the 8th

 

Here we are again at the end of another week.  You ever think you have done really not much of anything but then as you look back you see that yup, you have gotten this or that done and that was perfect. 

Monday found us doing are usual shopping for groceries and the like even though on the weekend I was sure I really didn't feel like doing that on Monday.  

Tuesday was our sacramental anniversary and of 5 years so we went out to supper to celebrate.

I like having two anniversaries because if the weather is miserable on our January one we stay home and in May we can always go out.  It was a lovely dinner in spite of how expensive dining out has become.  Thank goodness having breakfast out is not too bad yet.  

Wednesday I was able to pick up my rings at the other jeweler and I was very pleased with his work and his price, since I felt so uncomfortable with all the security items at our old place I think I shall stick with the new place near our pet shop.  It sure is nice to have my rings back on my hand and not around my neck on a chain.

Well, we have been having locking problems with Sparky as the car locks and unlocks when you try to get in or out of the car.  It was weird and annoying to reach for the handle to open the door and have the lock go back on again.  We took the car in.  Of course Sparky being an older car they no longer have the parts for that problem but they do have a fix for it but of course they must wait for parts coming from Montreal.  We said that keeping the car was okay although the price for repairs is much higher than usual but that is what it is.  So we are without a car until Tuesday or Wednesday next week.  At least we can walk to most places to get anything we need.  

I also realized it was not too bad because it prevents us from going to brunch after Mass on Sunday and since it is Mother's Day the place we go too will be way too busy with people taking their mothers out to enjoy our time there.  It actually is good to skip it this week and I wouldn't have remembered that if the car was here.  

So this morning we shall be walking to the nearer grocery store to pick up a couple of things and probably do the same thing a few times over until Sparky is back home.  

I read this story this week and really enjoyed it as it was from another different perspective.   This time Elizabeth's life had not gone like she had thought it should, more so than just not having a child when she and her husband were young.  I found it really interesting for thought as it was so different and yet it could really have happened that way too.  

I picked up this one as a choice from my BookBub recommendations so it was only a dollar.  Those books I will sometimes take a chance on whether they are a good read or not.  Since they are either free or a dollar or two, it is worth taking a chance.  I was super surprised with this one.  There was a lot of depth and thought put into the story and I am really, really enjoying it.  

And so the week puttered along with lots of blessings both noticed and noticed after the fact.  

So whatever you are up to this weekend, I hope it is a lovely one and to all the Mother's, have a lovely Mother's Day. 

For all kinds of Mothers
