Here are my "H" rules for how to have a happy weekend:
1. Hurrying is absolutely forbidden.
2. Have only your favorite foods.
3. Hear only the music on your best love Satellite radio channels.
4. Heart to heart visits with favorite people should be included.
5. Hitch up your favorite pants and tee, AND your most comfortable shoes.
6. Hang on to your sweetie for company.
And guess what? That's exactly the kind of weekend we had. My sweetie cooperated by not rushing into any activity. We took our leisurely time getting to Muncie, including naps into the days' schedules, we chose some of his favorite acitivities, and some of mine.
Yesterday we had our favorite BLTs for lunch at Cammack Station, and a delicious brunch today at Stacks in New Castle. The rest of the time we fixed just what we wanted at home and loved it all.
Did I mention that we have a new car? I'm sure that I did. And we are really enjoying its comortable ride and the great sound system. On our drives yesterday and today we listened to music on our favorite satellite radio stations. I think that every other song was performed by Chet Atkins, and the rest were the Carpenters. But Chet had to be the smoooothest guitar player of all time, and I think he recorded every song ever written. And the Carpenters? Well, her voice is like silk. What a shame that she died at such a young age. We heard her recording of "Don't Cry for me, Argentina." It surprised us. We thought she died before that musical happened.
Of course, we wore our most comfortable clothes and shoes. How else could we make it all around the antique mall. Also, they go well straight from naps to the next mission. And I don't think anyone gagged when they saw us.
Heart to hearts? Well, God bless phones and computers. I had conversations with some of my favorite people, and you know who you are! Also had very enjoyable visits from Judy and Jane. It was great to hear all about Judy's trip to Aftica. And Janie and I learned more about Macular Degeneration than we ever wanted to know watching the free video from the Low Vision Specialists. But I do hope that it helps Jane and Clyde in dealing with this new developement in his health. It certainly is a condition that runs in our family, so I want to keep up to date on things that may be facing me, besides my glaucoma.
Oh, and even though it does not begin with an "H", one highlight of the weekend was seeing the movie "The Blind Side." It is such a sweet story, and all the more so because it is a true story. I loved Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw as the parents.
The story of their adopted son, Michael Oaher is so heartwarming. It is a happy movie, not a sad one, but you watch the whole movie with tears in your eyes. Sandra Bullock deserves all her awards, and the movie deserves all the raves.
All in all, one very happy weekend.
