Here we are – the last day of July, 2024. I can’t believe how fast the summer is going! Of course I lost about 5 or 6 weeks, being in my ‘zombie’ state. Tomorrow is August and all the school supplies are out, and the fall items are on the shelves, and the Christmas ones will be right behind…
As is typical for a Wednesday, I cleaned the house and did a load of laundry. I didn’t spend any time outside today, except to drag the trash cans up to the road. As also typical, I took time to read a few pages of my current read throughout the process!
I did clean out the downstairs closet and got rid of a bunch of shoes. I’m not sure how I ended up with so many. The truth is, I usually don’t throw any away unless they actually have holes in them or absolutely no tread. I still have too many! Some of them are 10 years old at least!
I was thinking last night about the home movies I have, saved on a DVD. They were transferred from reels years ago, and they are very poor quality. But wow they were fun to watch. I snapped pictures of Grama and Grandad Crooks. Again, not very clear.
While I was looking for the DVD, I found VHS tapes of commercials created by the Smail employees for their individual departments – back about 2000 or so, I think. So many people in those photos now gone – passed away, some of them, and others long ago took other jobs and I haven’t even thought about them in decades! They were also fun to watch.
And that was my day! I had toast and tomato for breakfast, roasted veggies for lunch, and I will probably have corn for supper when I’m done here. A productive but quiet day.
My blessing today was the movies – going back in time!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW August 1st is:
Cycle to Work Day; Homemade Pie Day; National Girlfriend Day; National Planner Day; Play Ball Day (this is for MAX!!!); Respect for Parents Day; Spider-Man Day (this is for CHASE!); International Mahjong Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Ketchup Day. But EVERY day should be ketchup day! Tomorrow I’ll go with pie, girlfriends, and planning. God bless!
