Jana

First of all I like this picture of my quilt better than the other one I posted because the color is truer.



ANOTHER PENNY STORY – PENNY AND THE MIRROR
 

The only mirror I have had in my house is the one in the bathroom above the bathroom sink.  I finally bought what I call a door mirror.  That is one of those tall skinny ones.  Hopefully, it will make me look skinnier J  Anyway, for the time being I have it leaning against a bedroom wall.  I wasn’t sure how Penny would react to the mirror, and it wasn’t what I expected.  When she sees herself she walks around the back of it looking for that “other” cat.  She gets really frustrated when she can’t find it.  I just thought this was funny.
 
JANA AND MATTIE

Jana and Mattie will be heading back to Cincinnati next week (Monday).  Brian is driving down on Wednesday so Kevin and he can go fishing.  He will be taking Jana back on Monday.  I sure will miss her.  It has been so much fun having her here.
 

We are so different.  I am NOT a morning person.  I like to be quiet. Have my house quiet.  Then by mid-morning I am finally starting to function.  I am usually pretty grouchy and snarky when I wake up.  However, Jana is definitely a morning person.  She wakes up happy and talking.  She talks to Mattie, Penny, me, the television and anyone who will or will not listen to her.  She will probably be glad to get a break from me.  She is used to having the television on from the time she gets up until she goes to bed.  I wasn’t sure how much attention she paid to the television, but she talks to it.  That’s okay, I ignore her and the television.  My house sure will be quiet when she leaves.  I will probably have some type of withdrawal.
 

We both like to eat out, and we managed to get to all of our favorite restaurants.  We did a lot of shopping; Kohl’s, Barnes and Nobles, Target, Walmart, Kroger, Hobby Lobby, Petco, PetSmart, Books A Million, Office Depot, Lowes, and a few others I probably haven’t mentioned.  We both had our haircut.  We did a lot of reading.  We have laughed a lot.  We even cried a little when we had our remember when days.  I am sure going to miss her and Mattie.  Mattie and Penny became good friends so I am sure they will miss each other.
 

I am going to finish this on a lighter note.  Jana and I have been going to Mass on Saturday nights at St. Patrick’s in Phenix City.  I even plan to keep attending after Jana leaves.  (Landmark has changed quite a bit, and I haven’t been real happy there.)  Anyway, after Mass we usually stop and get a pizza or a subway to take home. Sometimes we actually go to a restaurant (fast food of course) and eat there.  Last night we ate at Zaxby’s.  We both like Zaxby’s.  We placed our order, they gave us our drink cups and we went to the counter to get our drinks.  They are self-serve.  I was first and I couldn’t figure out how to get the ice.  I figured out the drink, but not the ice.  I was pushing all the buttons and could not get ice.  After much laughter Jana figured it out and I got my ice and my drink.  I walked away to get a lid and a straw.  Jana was next and she got the ice just fine.  However, I turned around and there she was pushing buttons trying to get her drink.  I went over to show her what to do.  Again, much laughter.  Just can’t take us any place.  J
 

The rest of this week will be busy.  So, until later…….

Haha! You and Jana! Good thing you had each other to figure things out!

I used to be a morning person too. I'd wake up in a happy mood singing etc...not any more. Now I have to sit awhile, even after I've had my coffee and breakfast before I get moving. Wonder what happened to me?

Any more at night, I hate going to bed...but I hate getting up too!! Crazy me!

Have a safe trip home, Jana!
