What's on my mind

I shamelessly stole this idea for a post from a blog I read often (thank you, Colett). She is the daughter of one of my oldest friends, she doesn't know me, but I feel like I know her.

Wanting: The next 9 months to go by quickly, then time can slow down

Looking: At houses in Billings

Playing: On the computer, way too much

Wasting: Time on the computer

Sewing: Are you kidding??????

Wishing: I was on vacation

Enjoying: The warm days and cool nights

Waiting: To retire

Liking: This time of my life

Wondering: If I can stay on this diet long enough to lose 20 pounds

Loving: My grandkids and the funny things they say and do

Hoping: New TV shows start soon

Marvelling: The Pioneer Woman (how does she do it all?)

Needing: To eat something sweet

Smelling: New candle melt that I really like, but can't remember the name

Thinking: About our January cruise

Bookmarking: Century 21 Real Estate

Opening: My mouth at the wrong time

Giggling: At inappropriate times; will I ever outgrow that?

How would I know?

Ken and I stopped at a small convenience store in Dayton, Wyoming on our way to a camping trip in the Big Horns. Ken found a pair of glasses in the bathroom (they only have one) and turned them into the clerk. She mentioned that they probably were left by someone in the large group that had just left the store. The group was traveling together in Dodge Vipers and we had admired all their cars before entering the store.

We left and headed up the mountain, about 15 miles up we were stopped by a road construction crew. The group in the Vipers was just ahead of us so Ken walked up to one of the cars and told the driver about the lost glasses. The driver was appreciative and said he would pass it on to the others in their group. We proceeded to our campsite and spent the Labor Day weekend there. (Another post)

We didn't think anymore about the glasses until Tuesday on our way home when we stopped at the store for coffee. The same clerk was working so Ken asked her if anybody ever came back to claim the prescription glasses. She said "no, but they just look like cheap reading glasses so I'll probably just throw them away." She held up the cheap glasses and I started laughing.....yep, they were mine. Ken couldn't figure out how I could lose my glasses and not even realize they were missing. The picture below shows why. I buy them at the dollar store and stash them everywhere so how would I know if one was missing.
