Happy Daylight Savings Day!

I don't do Halloween, so I thought I'd just wish everybody a Happy Daylight Savings Day. Or as I like to call it, the best day of the year!! An extra hour of sleep? Yes, please!

Maybe if I ever have kids I'll jump back into the festivities. But I haven't really done anything for Halloween since high school. And even then, I was only handing out candy. No trick-or-treating after elementary school in the Turner household. I like that rule, and it's probably one I'll carry on.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not the bah humbug of Halloween. I just don't see it as being anything other than a kid's holiday. So I look forward to seeing pics on your blogs of all the little kiddos in their cute little outfits.

As for me, I think I'll snuggle up on the couch and watch my latest Netflix arrival. Then I'm going to enjoy my extra hour of sleep. And tomorrow, I'll head to Target to load up on cheap candy. Woohoo!

Goodbye, Pappaw


Today, my pappaw passed away. I was lucky enough to get to fly home on Saturday and spend a couple of days with him in the hospital, and I will forever be thankful for that.

Pappaw, thank you for being the best grandpa around. Thank you for coming to my ballgames and cheering me on. Thank you for taking us on trips in the camper. Thank you for the hours upon hours of table talk after our meals. Thank you for taking care of grandma when she could no longer take care of herself. And most of all, thanks for being you. I am so happy to know that today you are with Jesus. I LOVE YOU!!
