Time to rest

 It's my Friday.  Hubby and I are leaving at 12 to start off on another adventure.  Unfortunately, this is our last getaway for a bit.  Although, I should not say that as we are sorta planning a getaway in October so never mind.

  I have stayed home the last two nights and it has been fabulous.  I am loving the down time.  I have done absolutely nothing except read and watch tv.  I have laundry in the baskets, floors that need to be mopped, but I have no desire to do any of this.  My house is picked up and the kitchen is clean.  I cannot stand a dirty kitchen.  Gross, gross, gross.  Yesterday, it was pouring down rain, so hubby's soccer game was cancelled.  We came home, went straight downstairs, snuggled under the blankets and took a nap.  It was heavenly.  I love those unexpected moments we get.  Later, hubby went out to dinner with oldest stepson, and Jake had a friend over.  They showed me how to play a new game, Cards Against Humanity.  It was fun, but a bit awkward playing with two teenage boys.  I am a bit old fashioned and believe some things you should not do with your kids.  I don't mind some off color, but they need to keep that part of their lives with their friends.  Now, it would be fun to play with my adult friends, so I am seeing a card night in our future.

  I am dedicating the rest of my blog to a gentleman who I do not know personally.  I only know him as the friendly, happy gentleman who walked his scruffy dog every morning in our neighborhood.  Hubby and I would see him every morning and wave.  When we were at the stop light, we would coo over his dog.  He was an older gentleman who wore old school headphones(think walkman style) and seemed to really enjoy his morning walks with his dog.  Well, on Monday, Barry Livingston, age 76 was hit on Hughes street while jogging.  It was a hit and run, and Mr. Livingston was found by another jogger on the side of the road.  He apparently took a morning run early and then would come back and walk his dog which was when hubby and I would see him.  They are trying to find the individual who hit him, but there are not any leads as of yet.  I will miss seeing Mr. Livingston and his scrappy dog and send prayers to his wife, children and grandchildren.  Rest in peace.

Give someone an extra hug today.  We never know when it will be the last.

Hugs!
