A quick look at the weather forecast indicates a strong possibility of showers and thunderstorms today … a slight chance of showers between 8 a.m. and 10, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10. High temp near 84 and a 50% chance of rain … Tonight, showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 1 a.m. Mostly cloudy with a low near 72 and a 60% chance of rain…
Same type forecast thru Sunday night … then hot, 90 degrees Monday…
Think I will take a chance of mowing, mostly weeds … this A.M.
I enjoy cutting grass, weeds whatever … As I mature (grow older) I recall the past and the issues we faced as young parents, and how we grew older thinking about the issues our youngsters would deal with … Incidentally, both are doing well … One with over 30 years at the same place, different positions, overall, very well … and the other nearing … mmmm … 15 years or more driving a truck for Food Lion … 25 to 30 years of driving overall … beginning at the lowest level … moving up, hopeful every move is an improvement.
Thought turns to neighbors, some we have known for over 50 years, some much less … all good hard working folks, some now retired, some in the midst of rearing a young family … All good decent folks at different stages in their lives … Priorities change as we more forward … but mostly family comes first … regardless of the years, occupation, etc. For some, dealing with health issues is foremost … Our view of life changes some as we age … We, my bride and I, have experienced most of the stages … .And yes, we do have new neighbors … sometimes we fail to reach out as we grow older…
Sorry, all thoughts while shaving … growing older and still making memories…
One of the best parts of growing older is watching grandchildren, now great-grands, begin their journey thru life…
