Is Saturday still your chore day?

Happy Saturday, Y'all!

It's going to be a busy morning on the farm. I've fed the horses, but there's about 5 acres of grass to mow and some laundry to do. Of course, I've got some ideas jotted down for the story. How many of you remember your parents having designated chores for each day of the week? My mom was a stickler for:

1. Wash on Monday
2. Dust on Tuesday
3. Clean woodwork on Wednesday
4. Mop on Thursday
5. Groceries on Friday
6. Grass had to be done on Saturday
7. Sunday was for church and family. 

Of course that was before work days were seven days long. Growing up we had blue law days. Stores closed on Sunday except for grocery and pharmacies. Some days I wish we'd go back to that. Everyone needs a day of rest. I think the chasing of the all mighty dollar has gotten a wee bit out of hand. That being said, I'm off to do my best to contribute to the economy.

National Women's Friendship Day!

National  Women's Friendship Day says a lot about each one of us. Friendship is important in life. A friend is someone who makes work comfortable. They know you well and still love you for your faults, your accomplishments. They are a supporter, a sympathizer, and extension of your inner self or who  you strive to be.

A good friend will also tell you what you don't want to hear. They pick you up when you fall down. They let you cry, moan, shake your fist at the sky, then they tell you to pick up, put on your big girl panties and let's get it done. I'm so luck to have so many who I can count on.
