My weekend was filled with busyness (is this a word?). I was invited to a fish fry to celebrate my birthday with my son and his family - it was great fun and yummy food. DH went turkey hunting all day Saturday, so I was able to get some shopping done and catch up on cleaning on Saturday. Sunday, we celebrated with Landon for his First Communion celebration. It was such a special day and Fr. Jack from his church made it such a special day for the kids with his wise words to them.
We ended the day with daughter Amy at her river house while DH helped with some little projects they needed help with.
So I have had a whole week to get back into the routine of being home after a vacay with my sissies in Utah for a week. What a great time we had - seeing the sites of Zion National Park, and Bryce Canyon.
It is a cloudy, rainy start to the week - only 57 degrees out, and after the 70 on Saturday, it feels really cold!! I need to run an errand to the grocery and hate the thought of going out. (baby!) We do need the moisture so I should have no complaints.
The Entertainment news of last week was that Prince the music artist from MN passed away at the young age of 57, unexpectedly. There have been many celebrations in his memory, and First Avenue (night club) in Mpls. had a night party downtown at their establishment every night since Thurs night.
There have been many stories recalling the kindness Prince showed to all people and what a musical genius he was. Lot's of replaying of his hit songs. It will be awhile before the results of his autopsy toxicology reports are in. He had been on Percoset for pain after a hip surgery he had a few years ago and there is some speculation that he may have overdosed on that med. Too sad. His brother-in-law also reported that he had worked for 154 hours straight. Will be interesting to hear the results. But as one radio personality said - after someone has passed, is it necessary to go into all the details of how that person died? Something to debate maybe.
Another point of interest in the news today - people boycotting Target because of their announcement - "We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity." I do not agree with this policy. I think it opens the door for all sorts of problems. I sometimes wonder why some things can't just stay the same as they are? Of course, there are some issues that definitely need some change but some things I just can't go along with. I am tired of the media presenting issues and making it sound like it pertains to the whole of population when it really affects maybe 2%. The passing of such resolutions then affects us all. Ok, I'm done - just sayin, and that is my personal opinion.
Well I'm off to run some errands and hopefully pick up a Starbucks chai tea latte on the way home. It will just warm me up and make me feel good!! Hopefully I can stay on track with the Blog!!
