Last week I was super busy. I was like a sugar addict running after the ice cream truck. Kate and her prince were in India and her wardrobe was all I could think about, that and how on earth does she go to India and not sweat. Apparently, botox! I seriously have a life, a busy life. But the past ten days I have been following her trip and every single piece of clothing. Where did she get that dress, can I afford it, does it come in my size? Is there a copycat dress at Gap?
I do enjoy following the royals, and this trip to India was gorgeous. Tell me I wasn't the only one vicariously enjoying the royal trip.
While Kate was all cool and collected in India, I was baking cupcakes for my BIL Bill's 50th birthday party. Jodi put on a fabulous party for Bill. Good job, sissy!
Yesterday was a scorcher in Ltown. We seldom hit temperatures in the 80's in April. Some years it doesn't happen until July. Hubby was off work yesterday and we worked in the yard. Until we fell over. A big change this year is the beauty bark. I have always thought bark was for old people's gardens. After the plethora of weeds this spring I preened and then barked. Waved the white flag. The weeds overtook my dreams of an English garden with rich soil and pretty perennials.
Speaking of old people, I am retiring from my job at the museum. I have been there for 19+ years. It's time to take care of some deferred maintenance here at home and spend more time with Hubby.
Everyone keeps asking me what am I going to do. I'm going to get a dumpster, have a yard sale and clean up my house and garage. That should take about three years.
Hubby and I are starting another trailer restoration. That should keep me out of trouble too. It's one hot mess. It's a Curtis Wright model 6, and the only one we've found on the internet. It's a rare bird.
We get to pick it up this weekend. I am so excited!
So, I think that just about covers random today. A royal trip to India, Bill is 50, beauty bark is for old people, my retirement and our new baby.
Yep, that outta do it.

Life is good indeed! Now, about that dress...... 😊
We're all over 50...aren't these supposed to be the "golden years"? I always took the to mean "leisure"! We are just finishing dumptruck #2 of compost and still need another one...that's 20 yards so far! Pressure washing, sealing aggregate, weeding, cutting down trees, getting the house ready to list....I'm soooooo tired!!!
I envy your retirement and your new baby, hehe :-)
Five more years until retirement for me. I envy you! I think cleaning out your house and taking on another trailer sound like perfect ways to spend your time! I love the little signs you used for the birthday party. -Jenn
