Smile, and the World Smiles with You …

Willie I made a card, but it was bad, so I’m not going to show it to you. Instead, I will share the photo that turned up in my inbox last Friday at work. It was from Dustin, who, only a few short weeks ago, said he was never going to ride a horse. It appears the newlywed has changed his mind and has been spending quite a bit of time riding Willie, as in Willie Nelson. It also appears, from the caption, that he still has a few reservations. LOL. Miranda tells me they have been riding quite a bit, as she prepares for an annual weeklong horseback riding trip to western North Dakota at the end of June. Dusty, she reports, is not the best horseman. It seems he has a difficult time kicking Willie, and as a result, the horse pretty much does as he pleases. Why does it not bother me that my sweet son doesn’t want to kick a horse? It delights me, however, that he’s taken up the activity to please his wife. Give and take. Makes for a good marriage.

Me? I’m always up for a good laugh. Laughter, after all, is good medicine. It can be very useful in getting us through the rough times. Although I am about ready to have a fit right now, the rest of the day was OK. It was another busy day at work, which is about all I can ask for prior to a job posting that piques my interest. My distress as I write is over the fact that the station that carries American Idol is off the air. It’s the finale for crying out loud! I guess I’m going to have to try to catch the final performances on YouTube later. Darn. I’ve developed quite a liking for Lee these past few weeks and hope he wins.

Was your day a good one? I hope so. As I can’t watch TV, I’m going to go sit in the corner – my corner and see if my second attempt at cardmaking isn’t better than the first. Catch you later …

I feel your Idol pain. Our came back on before the singing began. My heart just sank at first. LOL! Now I'm looking forward to getting something done with all the TV finales coming to an end. Bring on the stamps!

Oh how frustrating about that station. Someone will probably get the boot for that one! I'm not an American Idol watcher, but I do watch The Biggest Loser (usually only the second hour) but last night I told the girls I was watching the whole thing. And I did! It was inspiring to see the transformations.

Love the story about Dustin and horseback riding. What a guy you have raised there!

Hope you have a much less frustrating day today!
