TODAY is Aunt Joan’s birthday! Happy birthday, sweet aunt! Sending hugs and blessings your way – love you!

Aunt Joan with Mom

I mixed the day up a little. When I got up, I threw on old, warmer clothes and went outside after a quick breakfast. I was out there for a little over 3 hours, pulling weeds and cleaning up the hill. I got everything done but a section right in the middle that was just a clump of thick grass. I’ll have to dig that out with a shovel.

Time got away from me and I didn’t realize it was 1pm! I had to pick Shannon up at 1:45, meaning I needed to leave my house at 1:30. So I did some scrambling to shower and get dressed and out the door. But I managed; except for the fact that I skipped lunch! We accomplished our task in good time and everything went better than we anticipated so that was a relief. When I dropped her off I remembered that I had some hard candy in the front console of the Buick. When I pulled it out I found my Williamsburg lanyard with my visitor’s pass. I was so excited! Such a silly thing but it was important to me.

Yea!

I came home and had a quick bowl of soup, then grabbed my shopping list and left again. I went to Walmart for a few (5) items plus 10 bags of mulch for around the shed. Next was Lowe’s for ground cover but they didn’t have any, so I left there and went to Home Depot and bought it there. I still need two small bags of pond stone and an extension cord. Another day!

Saw a deer and a turkey in the field on the way home. Made tuna/macaroni salad, a pitcher of iced tea, and icing for my scones. All set!

Oh, Deer!

Tomorrow May 20th is:

National Be a Millionaire Day; International Red Sneakers Day; National Pick Strawberries Day; National Quiche Lorraine Day; National Learn to Swim Day; World Bee Day; Armed Forces Day; National Sugarbee Apple Day; National Streaming Day; National Rescue Dog Day; World Metrology Day.

I could be a Millionaire – I’d even share. I already have Red Sneakers and I like strawberries. I do stream, because I cancelled my cable 18 months ago. So… All set! Have a happy weekend. God bless…
