5 Things and a Blog Milestone!

As I was publishing this post I noticed that it is my 800th post! Hard to believe I've had that much to talk about!


Anyway, on with post 800!


I saw this on another blog and thought it would be good to do. You just list 5 things you miss, 5 things you don't miss and 5 things you're grateful for.


So here goes.


5 Things I Miss


It goes without saying the first thing on this list is my grandsons. I haven't kissed or hugged them since March 18th. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.


Having dinner out. We used to eat out every Friday night.


My hairdresser-I have a lot more gray than I thought I did. It was hard to tell before when I only could see 1/2 inch at a time! Plus I really need a haircut!


Breakfast and shopping with my best friend, although we did go last Saturday and ate in a park the weather is not always good for that.


Playing Video Poker. At least once a month we used to go to the casino, have a nice dinner and play video poker.


5 Things I Don't Miss


Traffic. The drive to and from work has been really, really nice these last few weeks!


Crazy busyness at work. It's gotten very quiet since the pandemic started. It's picking up again now but hopefully I will be done before it gets crazy busy again!


Those honestly are the only two things that I don't miss.


5 Things I'm Grateful For


My Job-which I am retiring from in a few weeks but I am so thankful that I was able to keep working through this time.


My husband who is a steady rock in my life.


Snap chats and face time with my daughter, son and grandsons. Keeping me sane!


Our comfortable cozy house.


My brothers who keep me amused with Facebook posts!


That's it for now.






Until the next time!

  1. I agree about missing grandchildren. Our state is opening up a bit so I am going to see grandson this weekend. Our hair salons open up tomorrow so I figure it was okay to see grandson. Son's restaurant reopens Wednesday. We have reservations for dinner. How exciting to be on the verge of retiring and then choosing how you want to spend your time!

  3. Don't have the hair problem. I let my gray hair grow out a couple of years ago and Ken gives me a trim!
    The thing I miss most of all is not being able to go to church and all the ministries.

  4. It's nice that your list of things you don't miss is so short.

  5. Congrats on your 800th post :)
    I hope you get to see your grandsons very soon.
    Tennessee hair salons are open but I'm waiting a bit until I go back. I'm growing out a buzz cut so my hairstyle is best described as hid under a hat forever.

  6. Congratulations on your 800th post! It makes me wonder how many I've put out there?

    I love your list. I knew the boys would be on top of Misses. Soon, right?
    I believe that facetime and FB and blogs are saving me too. Plus, butterflies. :)

    We used to have a Friday night dinner date. *sigh*

    Retiring?? That is something to look forward to.
