August 7, 2024

Late last night I finished the Sanibel Island 7 book series and I liked the way it ended. The books were well written, with equal parts of humor, drama, mystery, romance, and family/faith. This morning I started another 7 book series by the same author.


I spent most of the day cleaning and doing laundry. A friend of Nate/Jen’s (Pat) who is a contractor of sorts stopped by to look at my deck and my basement doors. He’s going to replace some boards, put in a new door to the garage, and re-align two other doors that do not shut properly. That will be a big help!

After Pat left, it was early enough that I was able to cut the grass. It was a lovely day, cooler with a good breeze. I managed to cut the entire yard without taking any breaks. That’s a first since spring!

Sort of an easy cut today.

Then I dug up a bunch of crab grass along the fence line on Karen’s side of the fence. It was growing up on both sides and the mower wasn’t cutting it. Now it will be better for both yards.

It’s late and I need supper so that’s it for now. Oh! I had a call from Gen today and plans are that she’s coming down on Sunday afternoon and will spend the night at the ‘Burke B&B’! I’m so excited to see her! It will be fun to catch up.

Burke B&B – officially open Sunday night!

My blessing for today was two-fold: Having Pat stop and confirm that he could do these projects for me, and that Gen is coming down!

PEANUTS Thought for the Day:

TOMORROW August 8th is:

National Happiness Happens Day; National Whataburger Day; Global Sleep under the Stars Night, National Frozen Custard Day; Digital Nomad Day; International Cat Day; National Dollar Day; National Twinkle Lights Day; National Pickleball Day (go Logan!!!); National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto your Neighbor’s Porch Day; Odie Day; Peasants’ Day; Wear Your Mother’s Jewelry Day; Take a Penny, Leave a Penny Day.

Yesterday’s fake day was National Straw Day. Tomorrow – Logan can celebrate Pickleball! Jen can celebrate Cat Day, and I hope someone leaves me a zucchini or two! Have a happy day – God bless…
