Scout is quite clever!!<\/p><\/div>\n

A miracle happened this morning – I stepped on the scale, which read 191 pounds!\u00a0 I’m only one pound away from my goal weight.\u00a0 The talking scale did say, “Who are you?”<\/p>\n

Mary is still recovering from a cold, so we are taking it easy.\u00a0 While walking in the garden, I noticed that one of my controllers had gone offline.\u00a0 I reset the circuit breaker, and now everything is working correctly.<\/p>\n

Life is lovely – enjoying a cup of coffee with my best friend on a peaceful park bench is all one could ask for.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Feet up, coffee close by, and watching the plants grow!<\/p><\/div>\n

Scout-a-puss decided to come and visit us (and get his morning petting).\u00a0 He likes to walk with us and check out the lizards!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Scout came out to help!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary harvested the dried peas, which we store in a jar.\u00a0 When it is time to dine, we soak them overnight and cook for 40 minutes to make a delicious bean soup.\u00a0 Waste not, want not!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary continues to pick the dry peas, which make great beans!<\/p><\/div>\n

Time is flying by, and we are already approaching mid-September.\u00a0 This means it’s time to start thinking about taxes, which can be daunting.\u00a0 I might have to rob a bank to pay them this year!\u00a0 On a lighter note, Halloween is only 60 days away, and I’ve already decided to dress up as a mummy.\u00a0 I even practiced the look on the ship.<\/p>\n

\"\"

BOO!\u00a0 It even scared me!<\/p><\/div>\n

The time changes in a few weeks; I thought a lot about the time change!<\/p>\n

\"\"

AMEN!<\/p><\/div>\n

Since I have some remaining bronchitis and will see the orthodontist, I thought I might need a mash but forgot to bring it home.\u00a0 I saw a Norms Restaurant and stopped in to buy a bacon mask!<\/p>\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 <\/strong>Norms Restaurants (stylized as NORMS) is a chain of diner-style restaurants in Southern California.\u00a0 Founded in 1949 by used-car salesman Norm Roybark, some restaurants are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.\u00a0 As of June 2023, the company operates 21 locations in Greater Los Angeles.<\/div>\n
\"\"

I got them on sale at local Norms!<\/p><\/div>\n

One more trip to get the impressions next month.\u00a0 I think I will do the impressions of the invisible man and not show up!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary made another appointment for me at the toothfixer.<\/p><\/div>\n

We stopped by the Z’s to make sure all was going OK.\u00a0 All was going OK!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We dropped by the Z’s to check things out!<\/p><\/div>\n

We then went home, where Mary went to bed. I installed our new printer, and Scout checked his eyes for light leaks!\u00a0 I plan to take the old printer to Staples and see if they can fix it, as it is a cartridge holder problem, and everything else seems fine.\u00a0 We can put it in the garage as a backup printer.<\/p>\n

Both of our computers are now tied to the new printer so we cam share plus it is on the WiFi so our laptops and iPhones can print to the new one also!<\/p>\n

\"\"

One color page every three seconds!<\/p><\/div>\n

After a while, we decided to watch TV in the TV room and try out the new Bose Sound Bar Zachary got us.\u00a0 As we passed the Family Room window, we noticed it had rained!<\/p>\n

\"\"

It rained slightly, enough to make everything wet!<\/p><\/div>\n

I went outside to ensure everything was covered and we were ready should it rain harder.\u00a0 Everything was already covered, so I scampered back inside!<\/p>\n

\"\"

The sky looked threatening!<\/p><\/div>\n

We reached season seven of “Suits” and were thrilled when Donna was promoted to COO.\u00a0 Robin also held the position for 20 years.<\/p>\n

At 9:30 pm, we declared victory and went to bed, turning on the whole-house fan and dropping the temperature inside to the same as outside!\u00a0 BP 122\/65 at bedtime; life is good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
