Fall Back Time

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in for another Saturday. I am thrilled to be home. I will fill you in on my travels home on another day. Right now. I am working on getting settled in. Also, I am excited to see my family and friends!

Today's post is a friendly reminder the clock changes tonight for most of our readers in America.


This is a good time change. The clock falls back. We gain an extra hour. Do not forget to check your clock setting before going to bed tonight. I am rejoicing in my extra hour of sleep. Can I get a hallelujah? 

When the clocks fall back every year, I remember a classic Odie blunder. I can not find any record of sharing it here. This happened over 20 years ago when we lived in Wichita, Kansas.

It was the fall time change weekend. I was thrilled to be gaining the extra hour to sleep. I reminded everyone I talked to on Saturday, "Change your clocks tonight." 

Sunday morning, my alarm went off. I proceeded to get ready for church as usual. I was completely prepared to walk out the door. That is when I discovered my blunder.

I thought the current time was 9:15. When in reality, it was 8:15. I had forgotten to change my clock. Yes, me the person who reminded everyone to change their clocks, forgot. Therefore I missed my beloved extra hour of sleep! Oh my goodness, I was so aggravated!

This is a mistake that I have never made again. We get a good laugh out of my blunder every year. At least I was not late that day! 

Who knew I was creating blog material back then? I hope I have given you a chuckle today. You can learn from my mistake too. 

Thanks for stopping by to visit with me today. See you next time.

Odie
