A beautiful, warm, and busy first working day of the week. Tina started her new job today. That is exciting as she will be home soon. She called and said she was on her way. We will have dinner when she gets here….Pork Chops, Scalloped potatoes, and corn. I think that will be sufficient for tonight. I will dream up something else for tomorrow night.
I watched a lot of the Queen’s funeral this morning. It lasted until after 1:00 p.m. here so it was a long day for those people. I pray that the new king is at least half as good as she was, as well respected and takes a deep interest in the people as she did. He has some very big shoes to fill. The TV said that she planned her funeral, wanting it to bring everyone from every country together, in peace and harmony. I do believe she accomplished that. They said that leaders from countries the didn’t get along with other countries were there, standing or sitting in the same room, getting along well. Wouldn’t that be awesome if it lasted forever? It was a beautiful funeral, but I felt bad for everyone who had to march all those miles and then stand so long at different places along the way. Also for the military men who pulled the gun carrier with her casket on it for four miles, I think they said. According to the news, the casket was made of mahogany and lined with lead. Those gentlemen had to carry it quite a ways every once in awhile. Going up the steps to St. George Cathedral was something to watch. Now it is God Save the King!
Today’s quote: “It’s O.K. to call an avid reader a book worm. But, somehow calling a music buff a tape worm just does not sound right”. From a slip of paper in one of my mom’s music books.
Have a great rest of your Monday. Maker it a wonderful, awesome and fun day.
Blessings
