I wore my Snoopy shirt with a flag on it to work today in honor of Flag Day. Worked both stores and stopped to help Mike P. Then I did stop and get groceries – for Friday (moving day), vacation (Sunday), and just to replenish stock at the house. First thing I did when I got home was turn off the little downstairs fridge and start defrosting. I don’t use the tiny freezer section but it does get jammed with ice. That was 9 hours ago and there’s still a piece of ice melting outside. Imagine how big the chunk was! All done and turned back on.
I had leftovers for lunch, then went to work cleaning out my car. I had to take everything out and put it in a clothes basket. I was correct in assuming that Rege would want to put me in another vehicle for vacation, one with less miles. I also swept the seats and floors, and wiped out the interior. So on Thursday I’ll be ready for the switch. Not sure what I’m getting but I think a small Kia SUV. We’ll see!
When I was cleaning things out, my favorite Snoopy travel mug went crashing to the ground and cracked. Kelly bought me that for Christmas many, many years ago. I felt very sad to throw it away, and will probably keep an eye out for a replacement. I have travel mugs, but that was my Snoopy buddy! Sad…
Next I spent a few hours pulling weeds, dead-heading flowers, and then cut the grass. Hoping that I’ll have time Friday or Saturday to give it a quick once-over before we leave. I noticed (tee hee) that my neighbor (that cuts grass every day) had someone outside with him discussing the huge maple in his yard, right at the cusp of my yard. He had said last year that he wanted to trim it back or have it removed. They examined it from every angle; it won’t be easy to get either of those things done. It’s a huge tree!
Finally I mixed up a meatloaf (Di told me this afternoon she was making one!) and then while it was cooking I made my potato soup. The soup is done and the meatloaf should be finished in a few minutes. That will get me through the rest of the week, since I’ll have lunch at Court Days on Saturday and am making food for Friday’s move for Kathy/Paul. Checking things off my list!
June 14 – Tell another memory about a parade. “When you were 2 years old we were crossing the street to walk up to Uncle Charlie and Aunt Amy’s house on Mace Street. You lost your ‘Mary Jane’ shoe in the middle of the street. It was the firemen’s parade & I had to run back & get your shoe before the next fire company marched all over it.” Now that sounds like something that would have happened to Kathy. She was always losing her shoes!
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Prince Edward Island, in honor of the Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables) quotes. Picture posted was the PEI National Park – and Anne always wondered what made the ground red. Other sites on PEI are:

Tomorrow will be laundry, cleaning, finishing up with chores that have to be done before I leave. Nothing difficult. I have a list. Have a wonderful day! God bless…
