It looks like we're in for a stormy day today. Possibly even a T-storm. But the trade off is that our weather people say next week we're going to be "hot-ish" (their word, not mine) - meaning close to 80*! We may even have to turn on the ceiling fan, which will set Scottie off big time.
Yesterday was a slow day. I did another 5 crazy blocks, made 3 toilet paper blocks, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, did 3 loads of laundry, and walked between rain squalls. In the evening, we had a telephone happy hour with friends we haven't seen since February. Got caught up on everything with them, and then they asked if they could have masks for their family, so I'll be making another 10 masks today. I think I'll also bake some bread and drop that and the masks off on their doorstep tomorrow or late today. They live on Fox Island, about 12 miles from us.
Vicki's sprinkler is still going - 3rd day. She sets the sprinkler not to water her grass (it's been a rainy week, after all!) but to 'stake her claim'. She thinks of it as a sort of fence. A fence that she 'erects' on our property.
JANA - that will be a huge job - re-doing your driveway, et al! Do you know yet when you plan to do it? Actually, I thought you did that last year. Nice to have something to look forward to!
BECCA - Masks are becoming a bid deal here (as well as a fashion statement!). We're not out much, but we do see more people wearing them in all age groups than not. And as to being patient with Vicki, I confess I'm not as patient as I like to make myself sound. Sometimes I yell back at her. And once, last year, when she kept sprinkling our cement parking pad where Bill was trying to work, I moved her sprinkler so it went into her open window. I was ashamed of myself, but it felt good, all at the same time!
LORI - What a generous spirit you have! It's a BIG deal to bring a 94 yr old, who is used to being so independent, into your home to live with you. I hope he's a dog/cat lover! Is your DH his only child?
TINA - lots of logistics seem to go into your grocery shopping! How is Dad's itchies, achies, etc? I think
"Poppy" is an adorable name for a new fur-baby! My BFF's son's family got an Aussie several years ago and her name is Poppy. Our friends in Texas lost their 4 yr old maltipoo, Chili, a month ago and they just got another one, 7 mo old, and named him "Rio" because right now they are caught in the virus stay put order in the Rio Grande Valley in Southern TX. (they are full time RVers). That's a cute name, too, given their present circumstances.
Supper tonite is going to be chili, I think. I'll put it into the crockpot and let it cook all day. Yum! We are out of hamburger but we do have a package of frozen sirloin burgers in the freezer so I think I'll thaw some of those and crumble them up. Cornbread to go with.
How's your supper plan coming along?
