I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I can’t put it down.
I popped up this morning, got dressed, and headed to the surgeon to get my stitches removed. Arrived promptly three hours ahead of time, I was informed I had to come back. Poo! Fortunately, I had errands to do, so I made breakfast and then went to the shoe store and cleaners arriving home just in time to leave again!
All-day yesterday the back of the Grey Ghost was rattling, drove me nuts. So I took everything apart and drove around the block. Damn rattle was still there. I folded down the seats, and it still rattled. I was about to give up when I noticed the license plate was loos along with its holder. Well, I tightened them up, and the noise went away. It seems the license plat would hit the large back door on the van and act like a kettle drum! Problem solved!
I now have three more new shirts being cleaned, and I have five 36″ belts are ready to be worn; it has been a good day so far.
Coming home, I was ready to see the great-grandkids, and there they were. Calhan and Logann are always happy to see/hear their great-grandpa! The four of us talked for almost a half-hour.
I went back to the doctor at 11:00 AM and got the stitches removed. It was painless, but later that evening, Mary said I should have screamed and sent the poor little stitch remover into a panic. We both laughed and admired my self-control.
After seeing Vicky’s posts, I decided she needed the patio furniture more than the front yeard did, so I moved things to the back yard. Now she and Del and sit and watch the varmints enjoy the water while in the shade.
So I have an empty front yard patio, and to fix that, I went to Long Beach Spas and walked around. I found the umbrella I needed, and I selected a table with a fire pit built-in. The chairs I picked were “rockers,” and now I was ready to order. But first, I decided I better go home and measure everything.
Around 5:00 PM, Mary called and mentioned she had some chicken in the refrigerator, and she was making dinner. Silly me, I tried to resist, but that was futile. Into the Grey Ghost I went, but this time I brought a present… for Scout. The baby needed a doggie pool because of the heat!
Arriving at MAry’s, I set up the pool and began filling it with water. By tomorrow it will be a pleasant 80+ degrees, and Scout can go swimming.
After dinner, we talked for a while. I enjoy the “table-talk,” an activity Sue and I shred for thirty-three years! The subjects were various, but sharing was the vital part. Tomorrow is a workday for Mary, so I bounded out at 9:00 PM and decided to visit Chuck, knowing he would entice me with a purple gin!
I failed at delivering Mary’s tomatoes to Chuck this evening, but that gives me an excuser to visit Patty’s Place tomorrow.
Homeward bound, I summoned Alexa to work her magic, and the pool turned purple, the same color as my drink! OMG, I could drown in 35,000 gallons of gin! What a way to go!
It was a lovely evening, and I thought about Miss Mary all the way home. We have known each other for seventeen years, and finally, we get to know each other? I am so happy when I talk about Sue that Mary knew Sue and can recall her kindness and friendship.
Home and time to rest and get ready for another day!
