I was up early for a Friday morning – trying to get a schedule for my day. I had a long list for the weekend and was trying to arrange things mentally. After breakfast it wasn’t raining yet, so I walked the gardens and checked on the plants. A few new blooms.
I got the red/white/blue light strings out and took the purple ones (that I had up for Spring) all down and put them away. Then I strung the new ones on the back deck and put some in the two lanterns.
By then it had started to rain, so I came in and put things away. I was putting my hat on the shelf, and it knocked over the box of matches, which then knocked the sun catcher off the hook which bounced on the floor. I leaned down to get it and bumped my head. Ugh.
I got changed and headed out for groceries. I stopped at Aldi’s first, then the Dollar Tree for a few cards, then to Walmart. Walmart is renovating and they’ve totally changed the checkout procedures. Almost no lanes with real checkout clerks – mostly self-checkout. And everything is rearranged. The checkout guy asked me how I was doing and I said I was fine until I came in there and got totally lost three times!
Nate and Dave were here when I got home, working on a few drippy and stuck faucets. They did everything they could with what they had, and then ate M&M’s which are always setting out. I had washed a load of clothes earlier and folded them from the dryer, then put the groceries away and made lunch – an English Muffin.
As I was meeting Aunt Kimmie, Greg, Chase and Ma (Ruth Ann) at 5:30, I started Potato Soup and mixed up a batch of chocolate chip cookies and stuck everything in the fridge. The soup is now done, but I’m waiting to bake the cookies tomorrow. It’s 8:30pm and I still have a few things to finish up.
I realized I hadn’t posted the latest pictures of celebrations so I better do that now. Last week was Hempfield’s prom, and Chrissy went with her friend Hope. They both looked lovely.
Tuesday night Logan and Clarise went to their spring formal – I’m not sure where it was, but the views were as lovely as the couple!
Then this is Hattie’s graduation weekend from high school. Hattie is Kathy’s granddaughter. Kathy and Paul went to TN for the weekend to be part of the celebration. Congratulations, Harriet Christine!
My blessing today was safety through the storms. There were numerous tornado sightings within a few miles of here, as well as flash flood warnings. The rain POURED down! So thankful to be home and safe.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
