Hello friends, would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families as the upcoming 10th anniversary of the vicious attacks on our country approaches…I will never forget that day, and although we live across the country in California, I can say that so many on the west coast also felt the pain and anguish that day and in the days and months and years that followed. It was a normal Tuesday, I was up to sip my coffee before getting dressed and heading to work that day..I turned on the Today Show and the hosts were talking about a plane crash in NY..I glanced at the TV and saw the 2nd plane hit the building. I don’t really remember what happened after that, I woke my husband and younger son who lived at home still..watched the bedroom tv while I got ready for work and heard someone say that the Pentagon had been attacked..at this point I wasn’t sure if I could make the drive to work..I was so upset but the school year had just started and I had things I had to take care of..on the way I was listening to talk radio and heard them say one of the towers fell..when I got to work we found a tv in the AV room and wheeled it into the library building where I worked and I can tell you no work got done for the library clerk, the textbook clerk, or me that day..so sad and tragic. And one thing I remember is the disbelief that this could happen. I don’t think anyone knew that day how our everyday lives would change from that point on..God’s blessings on all on this milestone anniversary.
My week. Hubby has been gone since Monday, he headed up north to spend a few days on Shasta Lake with younger son and son’s father in law on their houseboat..Guy time. In the meantime our s/c unit went on the fritz..It didn’t completely crash but I had to keep shutting the compressor on and on off for two days manually at the breaker as it would not stop when the inside fan cycled on and off..AAARGH..the a/c guy repaired it on Wednesday late in the day, glory be!..its still way too hot here to do without a/c, highs this week were in the 105-108 range..hoping for some ‘cooler’ temps this upcoming week.
Hubby will be home tomorrow and hoping he brings some new pictures of Grace Lily as I sent him with a camera..Hard to tell, lol! I did get a few from my daughter in love, Gracie is getting so big, almost 4 months old..She is my pink for the week
Looks like she is getting ready to crawl soon..she’s working on it!
Have a wonderful week, and I am linking up to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, please stop by and say hello! Always a great time reading the Pink Saturday posts..
