Here we are — one more day of August left! Where did the summer go? I know where mine went – I’ve been trying to climb out of the depths of Lyme disease and allergy attacks! Thankfully it’s nothing that won’t go away in time. Di came over for breakfast this morning – we had a much needed mutual pep talk to get us both focused on good things to look forward to ahead of us. We had cinnamon rolls and hot tea, and she brought me a tomato out of her raised garden beds. That will be lunch tomorrow.
When she left – and I folded the laundry from the dryer – I popped over to Gabe’s and got a new charging cable for my phone. The downstairs one seems to have quit working, ironically about the same time as the string of lights went out on the house shelf. I also got a replacement set of lights at Big Lots — surprised that they actually had a shelf of Christmas Lights on display already. I found just the right size.
Next: I made stuffed pepper soup. Di also brought me a green pepper so I cut it up and added it to what I already had. I had that for lunch.
My afternoon task was to stuff and sew the 4-H handwarmers for Kelly’s 4-H friends. I didn’t even spill the rice — except for one little piece! Last week Ken and I were talking at work about how they would work, and I told him I’m make him a set and he could experiment. Since today is his birthday I’ll take him the John Deere ones I made this afternoon.

It really looks like it could rain – The sky is a crazy kind of gray.
My grandfather Jess Crooks was born on this day in 1892.
My blessing for today was breakfast with a long-time friend.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW August 31st is:
Eat Outside Day; Franchise Appreciation Day; National Zinnias Day; National Matchmaker Day; National Trail Mix Day; National Zoo Awareness Day; We Love Memoirs Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Windy Day. Tomorrow – I could eat outside, maybe trail mix. I loved teaching memoir classes! God bless…
