Day 2 - Late last night my sissy sent a few more stories of her childhood so I want to add these before I delete them off my phone. I'm hoping I can get the entire story in the few sentences that she shared. I'm still cracking up about the dishtowel pinned on her backside for tattling. I remember mama many time threatening to sew lace on Little Mike's pants for tattling. Anyway, here are a few more of my sister's remembrances.
There was a time that my little sissy wanted to run away, but there were dogs down the street and she didn't think she could get past them. I know those dogs! There were two dobermans about a block from our house. I had to walk past them every day to catch the school bus. I was terrified. Back then dogs did not have to be kept in a fenced yard; they could roam the streets. These two dogs would bark and follow me all the way to the bus stop. I was terrified every day.
It is my sissy's fault our family stopped with our youngest brother! She said that she was given a choice of getting a little brother or a swing set. She chose the swing set. I think we all would probably choose that over another sibling - mainly after they are grown! Then there was a big tree in our backyard that had a door on it and she just knew the three bears lived in that tree. She kept knocking on the door but they wouldn't answer. I don't remember that tree!
One of our older brothers was a prankster. I guess after our youngest brother was born our older brother was carrying him, wrapped in a blanket, when in reality he had one of my sissy's dolls. Then he 'tripped' and dropped the 'baby' - which threw our little sissy into a tizzy! And last of all, my sissy shared at one time in her life she thought she was a princess because her big brother Sam said she was.
Hmmm. My granddaughters know they are Princesses..... because Grandma says the by are!
I'm trying to remember some of my own stories, but I think that would be for a time I would dedicate the entire blog to any remembrances I could think of. I may have to think awhile on those.
I did get somewhat good news this morning - I received a telephone call from one company I had applied at and they will call back tomorrow at 11AM for a phone interview. This job is within a ten mile radius, which is what I have been asking for. I don't know what the salary is, but I am confident it would be comparable to what I made before as it is a very similar job. It would be good if I could start next week.
After I received the phone call this morning I went back to my journal to see what I wrote in my prayers. Sure enough, I asked God for His favor today, that I would get a telephone call for the job He wants me to have. That is the only call I have received thus far today. I am trusting in Him that this will be where He wants me. The plus side is I know the 'boss' already and he has actively been involved in getting my resume to the right people. I had worked with him before at my previous company so he knows me, knows my work ethics. It will be good to get back to work again. Now if only hubby could find a job too, that would help immensely.
We took Marley to be weighed this morning and get her heart worm pill at the vet. She is up to 51.3 pounds now (6 months old). From there we took her to the dog park nearby. We have always been somewhat protective of her since she isn't around other dogs much. While we were at the dog park other people came in with their dogs. Two dogs were huge English Mastiffs. Adorable, but huge. Then another couple brought in two lab/chow mix dogs. They talked me into removing the leash from Marley. We kept her on the leash because we weren't sure how she'd act - but once she was off it - she took off running and playing with the other dogs. DUH. From now on we will remove the leash when we get there and just let her run. Made me wish we had another dog for her to play with. She had a fun morning at the dog park. I gave her some doggy ice cream this afternoon along with her heart worm pill. She lapped it up. Currently I am sitting on the recliner couch and she is laying next to the couch. I have found if I am on the computer at the desk, she will lay down on the kitchen tile. If I am in my recliner, many times she is under it. When I am here on the couch, she will lay next to the couch or under my feet. She definitely wants to protect me.
Don't have much to share so guess I'll close for today. Just don't have my thoughts in blogging mode, I guess. Perhaps tomorrow.
Oh yeah - the thingy on the air conditioner was pitted and stuck in fan mode. Got it replaced and it is working fine now. :-)
Blessings!
