Just Chatting.....

It is that kind of day again.

The kind where I am so glad for

my Bloggy friends.

Being able to come here and just talk

as if we were sitting in my living room

brings me joy.

The beauty for you is that if you are not

in the mood for my ramblings you can

just close the window and 

you are free.

Pretty good arrangement 

if you ask me.

Anyway, 

Sunday night was interesting.

Mom, Georgia and I went to a church

in Hanover to surprise my cousin, Ethan.

He and his girlfriend were participating in 

a concert with their college from Indiana.

So, while an hour and half was a bit of a 

distance it was a lot closer than going to Indiana.

They were very, very good.

Ethan plays the cello....beautifully!

We were glad we went.

They were so surprised to look out

during the concert and see us.

On our way back to the car we had to 

cross a street. 

It was there that we nearly lost Georgia

to a speeding car!

Man, did that get our attention.

I am so thankful that the car went over into the

other lane and did not hit her.

Then we stopped at a convenience store to use

restrooms and get a snack.

As I got out of the van and had just closed

the door a very large, very tall man

approached me.

It was dark where we had parked and 

it was him and me between two cars.

He asked for money to put gas in his car

so he could get home.

There was a sneering look on his face.

Something didn't feel right, at all.

So I informed him that I was broke and 

that we were just there to use the restroom.

Only for some reason I used the word "potty".

I think I was trying to be a bit humorous or throw

him off balance or something.

All I know was that he was very threatening

and I felt in danger.

What surprised me was that I never stopped

moving toward him and he backed off.

Whew!

After the fact I have thought that I could have

offered to go in and pay for a specific amount

of gas on his pump or something ....

but all I could think then was to get away.

It was a bad situation.

Yesterday I asked my Facebook buddies what 

they would have done.

Most of them said they

would have given him a couple 

of bucks.

Some felt that he was just

wrong to approach a woman

under those circumstances.

What do you think

you would have done?

As to my goals for yesterday...

I made progress but didn't get it 

all done.

I remembered that I needed to 

revamp the candle website since I am 

moving all sales to Etsy.

That took a bit of time and then 

there was the fact that I hadn't listed any new

items for a while and so I made a couple 

of unique pieces.

This grouping of votives came to be because as

I was cleaning I came across them and it 

helped clean and made a nice package

to put some Oceans scented wax in them

and list them.

They came out great!

Photos of the candles in process are over at the candle website.

And then there was this sweet piece of glass 

sitting on the counter.

It was crying out to be a 

6 ounce citrus infusion

candle.

So, that was pretty much where my cleaning

got sidelined but I did get a lot done in the 

refrigerator, many dishes done,

a cheat kind of floor cleaning and 

then it was time to take Chelsea off to work.

I then visited my friend, Roxanne who has

begun Chemo.

It was good to see her...

and Mister, the dog.

I came home to make dinner for the men

and then ran back out to pick up our friend, Emma,

and then Chelsea and head off to a graduation meeting.

While there I got drafted to help the grads work on 

their class song.

Never intended for that to happen....

but while it was awkward to step into 

a situation in process

it was actually fun.

Well, I have chatted and chatted,

if you are still here

I applaud you.

  Have a wonderful day!
