Tuesday And Back To “Normal”

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!

It’s a healthy food day!

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.

Thank you, Alexa, for sharing!

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.

Vicky now has a place to relax and watch the grandkids.

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.

Mew furniture for the patio.

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.

Scout has his pool!

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 was enticed!

I failed at delivering Mary’s tomatoes to Chuck this evening, but that gives me an excuser to visit Patty’s Place tomorrow.

Chuck sends his hellos.

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!

I resisted the pool, but it was not easy!

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.

Good night Miss Mary!

Home and time to rest and get ready for another day!
