Thanks for putting up with the whine

1 bag Aldi frozen ravoli, 1 pint of homemade freezer salsa that I need to use up, 1 small can tomato sauce, 1/2 pound Aldi Mild Italian Sausage. Spray pan bake covered per ravoli directions.
Sprinkle cheese and bake until melted. 

Thank you all for putting up with my whiney posts and all the sympathy. I promise to start being more optimistic! 

I am committed to wearing the new glasses for 7 days to see if I can "train my eyes".  The eye office are trained professionals and maybe they are right.  Otherwise I will go back to the readers I bought on Amazon midway between my reading prescriptions that are bifocal with a clear top.  I wasn't doing too bad with those and that may be the answer.  

My daughter is finished in her classroom and today I slept in until 10:30 am and feel much better.  Tonight our commuity begins free concerts in the park and the band opening the season is the sisters from last year who sing acustic soft rock. The temperatures are in the 70's and it should be fabulous! 

Tomorrow I am back in the church office and Friday my middle school grandson has invited me to take him to the amusement park if he doesn't have to work.  He was gathering golf balls out of the creek by his house (his dad's house and my house are both near a golf course), washing them and selling them along the course. The owner stopped by one of the holes and bought some, interviewed him and hired him to wash and gas up the golf carts, fill divets, pick up trash and empty trash cans.  Not only is he getting paid by the hour, he has a free golf pass for the season! Not bad for a twelve year old. 

The weather has been nice enough to walk in my neighborhood this week although I think I will be back at the gym when we hit the 80's. 

I'm sorry for not visiting as much, it is hard to read my screen right now, but I am comitted to these glasses for a week.  I will be back.

Hope everyone is enjoying the pre-summer.

  3. No worries! You need to get stuff off your chest and this is the perfect place to do it. I sure hope the glasses end up working for you and yay for being able to take a walk outside!

    Nice offer for a 12 year old, congrats!

  4. Wine with whine is (or once was) a good idea…I’m no longer interested in alcohol though. Go ahead and let off steam here, a relatively safe place to do so. Sorry the glasses are a bother, but I hope you take them back if they don’t work well.

  5. You aren't whining. You're telling the story of your life right now. We all have those times. Your grandson is quite the young businessman. Good for him! Hope the glasses start working out for him.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  6. That dish at the top looks mouth watering, thanks for sharing! That was also a great read about your ambitious 12 year old grandson, mighty impressive Miss Merry. The eyesight thing, I am keeping my fingers crossed this is resolved soon.

  7. Not whining at all. We share the difficulties as well as the pleasures. The ravioli bake looks good.

  8. Your grandson sounds like an enterprising young man! And you are not whining. You are telling it like it is -- real life, keeping it real. That's important.

  9. We don't mind you Venting, getting used to Glasses used to be so hard for me too. The Man finally had me get Lasik in both Eyeballs years ago which solved me being legally blind. Life can be hard and we need to sometimes whine about it my Friend... I've had my own share of ranty Posts, as you well know. *Winks*

  10. Dear Miss Merry, I think it is good to get things out rather than keeping it inside. You are such a lovely person.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit! I love your comments and suggestions and read them all. Due to spam, I will now have to approve all comments. Sometimes it takes me a hot minute to authorize comments due to grandchildren commitments. I apologize but I can't let those scammers get the upper hand!
