So many of our trees here are evergreens.<br />I can't imagine standing for 12 hours...lately I have been teaching casually and I need a sleep after standing for a three hour class! Age does catch up with us in some ways...but I still feel young inside:) ...if i forget my sore back, feet etc :))<br />Thanks for being part of Mandarin Orange Monday:)lorikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562276944312915690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-79955088965972446072013-11-12T04:04:13.666-05:002013-11-12T04:04:13.666-05:00So no more dayshifts for you, my friend! They are ...So no more dayshifts for you, my friend! They are too straining on you and your body, and you need to get a bit more protective towards yourself! <br />We are at an age, the body protests more, needs longer time to recover and get bakck into "normal"working order, helas, but true.<br />Glad you had a good long sleep, that will set you back nicely to your feet LOL.<br />Did you know that in Belgium, the town of Ieper, EVERY day at about 8 oçlock in the evening there is blown The Last Post for the soldiers that lost their life in the 1st WW? Here a link to see and hear about it. It is very impressive!<br />http://www.greatwar.co.uk/events/menin-gate-last-post-ceremony.htm<br /><br />and this<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kraus/armistice-day-ieper-and-t_1_b_4246749.html<br />Have a nice and quiet day.<br />Hug<br />Kyrasmiekeltjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375937338027468675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836896508271015450.post-91707054148227801512013-11-11T17:32:26.840-05:002013-11-11T17:32:26.840-05:00Lovely fall colors in those trees.

I don'...12 hours on your feet is a long time ... I don't blame you for being tired. I agree, day shift is too much when you get to our age. At least at home we have a choice about what we can and can't do ... and yes, there's that little nap option. One of the pleasures of old age :)<br /><br />We are getting our first snow, as we speak. So far it is not sticking,but the little white fluffs are floating down past my window. Can't say I am happy to see them, but now I go into thinking ahead mode and wishing for spring. Actually that is not all true. I have to say that Izzi absolutly loves playing in the snow and we do have a lot of fun together when there is enough to play in ... I'm thinking it is the cold weather that goes with it that I could do without. <br /><br />Nice words, Edna, for our Veterans. I think this country should do more than just set a day aside for them. We really need to do something about providing for them when they come home injured in so many different ways including emotionally or for the families who's loved ones don't come home at all. Washington and all of their need to cut the budget is cutting in the wrong places ... Vets need what they need and deserve better than what they are getting. Makes me sad!<br /><br />Well, have to go to the bank and get some money. I have spent every red cent I had here in the house and can't go around being broke, though I rarely actually use cash. I'm a credit card person most of the time. Easier to keep track of my spending that way. You have a nice restful day, Edna ... and hugs to little Pogo.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.com
