JUST JUNE….Day 13

 

I can’t believe I actually slept till seven. Of course now I’m up and writing this to get posted by the time I have to leave for my visit with my husband. 

Yesterday I was able to celebrate Women Veterans Day by buying a drink for the newest female veteran at my Amvets post.  She’s a Marine; our first female Marine.  Now we need a female Coast Guard and all branches are represented by women. Of course we do have two WACS, a WAF and a WAVE before they became regular military.  

It was a rainy afternoon yesterday.  I ended up doing a rainy day piece. The rain was much needed though.  

I’ve come to the conclusion it’ll be awhile till I ever can sleep in again. Just one day I can sleep till nine it would be great.  Oh well that’s wishful thinking. 

I can believe the toy yesterday was BUTTON and STRING TOY. I never really heard of it as I never had one.  Looking at it, I’d think it more of a cat toy.  I can see playing with a cat using that item. 

I need to get ready to leave by nine. Still need breakfast and few other things done. 

It’s Sunday so make the best of the day. 

Until tomorrow….take care and as always Stay Safe.

            RAINY DAY MEMORIES 

Listening to the rain my mind wanders

Memories of rainy days gone by

Our Saturday afternoon picnic 

 interrupted by a sudden storm

We take shelter in the cottage at the 

    lake

Sitting close together on the faded

  green sofa 

   we sip wine

    listening to music on the old

        cassette player 

The crooning of Frank Sinatra 

     penetrates through the cottage

Silence between us as the rain outside

  hits the windows and the roof 

Music and rain the only sounds we hear

As I try to think of how to tell you 

  how I feel 

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

              NEVER NEVER NEVER 

A toy I never knew existed

Never had seen one

Never owned one 

No idea how to even play

  with a button and string toy

Seeing it....I’d think it something to

 amuse the cat

     WACKY HOLIDAYS JUNE 13th

(Women Veterans Day; National Red 

  Rose Day; National Peanut Butter 

  Cookie Day and World Gin Day)

A virtual red rose I sent to my friend

  an ex-WAC 

It’s Women Veterans Day 

I’ll think I’ll celebrate with a gin and

  tonic at the club

Perhaps buy a drink for the other 

   female veterans who may be there 

I could take a container of peanut  

    butter cookies to share also
