Mary slept past 8:00 am this morning, and let me tell you, that’s like Bigfoot getting caught on camera\u2014it just never happens!\u00a0 But after all the meds she took to relieve the pain, we totally understand why.\u00a0 I mean, with that much medicine in her system, she probably thought she was on a mini-vacation in Dreamland, lounging on a beach with a tiny drink topped with a little umbrella! <\/span><\/p>\n He woke up in such a great mood that you’d think she was the star of a sitcom!\u00a0 With a smile that could outshine the sun, she flung the blankets off like they were attacking her with bad dreams.\u00a0 “Weekend, you better watch out!” she declared, as if the weekend were a mischievous toddler about to get into trouble.\u00a0 She danced her way to the coffee maker like it was a dance-off on a game show, ready to claim her caffeine crown!\u00a0 Honestly, if the weekend had ears, it would be blushing right about now!<\/span><\/p>\n “Anything beats the hospital!”<\/p><\/div>\n We opened up a new puzzle and dove in, ready to tackle it with the enthusiasm of detectives on a hot case.\u00a0 But so far, it’s Puzzle 1 and Puzzalees 0.\u00a0 At this rate, the puzzle is looking less like a beautiful picture and more like a jigsaw version of modern art.\u00a0 We’re beginning to wonder if the last piece went on vacation without us!\u00a0 I mean, how do you even lose a piece?\u00a0 Did it run off to join the circus while we weren’t looking?\u00a0 If it doesn’t stop mocking us, we might have to send a search party\u2014or declare a truce and invite it back for a pizza party instead! <\/span><\/p>\n Although she has reconciled herself to sitting through dance music, she does NOT want a repeat of Friday am!<\/p>\n While getting ready, a thought occurred to me (always a dangerous situation).\u00a0 So, I posted a sign outside and am awaiting any takers.<\/p>\n We headed to the Elks lodge to gather with friends Vicky and Jum, Bob and Dinna, along with several other Starlighters, to celebrate Sandee’s milestone of 75 years.\u00a0 The evening unfolded beautifully, featuring a wonderful dinner and heartfelt conversations with everyone present.\u00a0 After enjoying dessert and sharing joyful moments, we decided it was time to head home, as Mary was starting to feel discomfort in her back and needed to take her medications.\u00a0 We made it back, settled in, and were in bed and asleep by 9:00 pm, grateful for the lovely evening spent with friends.<\/span><\/p>\n Mary slept past 8:00 am this morning, and let me tell you, that’s like Bigfoot getting caught on camera\u2014it just never happens!\u00a0 But after all the meds she took to relieve the pain, we totally understand why.\u00a0 I mean, with … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2026-01-24-002.png\")
