Today is Snoopy’s birthday – and he’s 74! He looks really good for being so old. I hope I look that good when I’m 74. Oh, wait….
I decided to take advantage of the cooler temps and the nice breeze. I got up, changed and washed bed sheets, and then went outside to weed whack. My intention was to do that early, have breakfast, then go back later in the day and mow. But after I took a break, I decided why get dirty twice? So I cut the grass, hosed off the mower and the weed-whacker, then hosed the white fence. THEN I came in and got a shower.
I was going to have toast for breakfast but my toaster wouldn’t work. It did that once before and the manufacturer explained how to fix it. I’ve tried several time to clean it out thoroughly but no luck. I’ll try it one more time, and then it will be switch to a new toaster. I really liked that one!
Pat (who is replacing and fixing my doors) just called me. The new door for the family room presents a pickle. If I get the same swing as I have now it will cost $300.00 more. If I get the opposite swing the door knob will be on the other side. They say when you get older you should experience things that challenge your brain. Bingo!!!
I had the last two ears of farm corn for lunch, then went for a short (very short) walk. I noticed how raggedy the Bridal Veil Bush was – WAY too big and impossible to mow around. It’s branches are prickly and kept whacking me in the face and arms. I spent about 45 minutes trimming that, and also some little lilac stragglers that were encroaching on the front deck. So now that’s done.
I want to review my Sunday school lesson again, because it’s a little deep for my 4 year old student. I need to simplify a few concepts.
Beth sent me a photo of a ‘Book’ Christmas tree. I may try that this year. I really need to upgrade from my 40 year old artificial tree!
Christina and Autmn went to a concern tonight – it was their last ‘sisters’ fling before Christina leaves for college. Nate and Jen are watching Cameron, so he brought him over for about an hour so we could play. It was a fun evening!
My blessing today was spending time with Cam and Nate!
