Little things

It’s a brilliant Sunday in Buffyland. We had rain Friday night and a good part of Saturday, and it’s perfect weather today to be working in the gardens. I’m going out very shortly, but I wanted to blog first.
Have you ever done something with the best of intentions and had it turn around and bite you? I get into that position now and then. My people skills have never been the best, and I rarely know what someone is thinking. I can put my foot in my mouth with the best of ’em, and I did…with one of my siblings. Another of them counseled me to let it go, and stop “looping.” It was good advice. There’s no point in wallowing in it. I might as well get on with life!
So, it fascinated me that an on-line friend had run into a very similar problem. The advice I had been given was perfect for her, too, and I shared it. Was this a coincidence? Pre-destination? Fate? I haven’t any idea, but I’m glad that I had a little growth spurt and was able to share it. *S*
Dear Husband is off boating. Second Son is at a convention. Edward Scissorhands and I are on our own for the weekend, and it’s been very quiet, but fun. I finished a ton of filing in the office (of course there’s more to be done), and read for a bit. I went to see “Angels and Demons” last night (a good pot boiler, that was fairly faithful to the book.). I’m going to play in the gardens for a bit, and then do a little grocery shopping. And then, I’m going to start making four-patches for a new scrap quilt! Yea! It isn’t often that there are so few demands on my time. I better take advantage of it!
Monday and Tuesday I will be traveling to Iowa and back with my youngest sister. This is a trip for her to see places that we have all talked about but she was too young when she was there to remember. My grandparents lived in Des Moines at the time Frankie was born. I can remember that she slept in a dresser drawer when we visited the summer after her birth. *G* So….we’re going off on a memory trip.
I hope you all enjoy a relaxed Sunday, and have a great start to your week!

  1. Awww, Buffy…even the most talented people person’s can/will stick her foot in her mouth, on occasion – especially with a sibling. I contest your characterization of yourself. I think that your people skills are exceptional. That doesn’t keep family members from exercising ages-old dynamics.
    Pat yourself on the back for accepting someone’s sage advice, and for sharing it.

  2. Hi Buffy,
    The ‘best of intentions’ fiascos are the ones that hurt the most of course…and usually the ones hardest to move on from. I’m really glad you could share it with your on-line friend who had a similar problem. Life really is too short sweetie. Your sibling will let it go.
    Your day sounds like it’s going very nicely for you…getting some things YOU like to get done…about time. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day sweetie….and the new week. Much love to you… ~Joy

  3. Thanks Buffy, now if I ever get a photo of you and I together I need to remember to delete it and not enjoy sharing our friendship with the world. LOL
    I’m not looping really, just trying to be funny.
