Monday ...work day

Today ( Monday) is turning out to be a workday. Not saying that things didn't need  to be done and that people will  be here Wednesday night..

Bob is doing laundry ...bedding, towels and clothes. I've been doing the floors in the lobby, hallways, bathrooms etc. The kitchen comes last. The cats have not been at their best ( peeing out of their multiple litter boxes) lately so Bob will take the rug cleaner to those areas last thing at night so things will dry by morning. 

It looks like another rain storm is on its way...The view outside of our office shows trees blowing around and the sky is gray. ..... But nothing happened.

Beds made... clothes folded and put away...

Tried a new recipe for cod with lemon and parsley. It was ok but nothing great . I may have to go back to my Mother's parsley sauce for cod next time. It's a recipe/meal I remember from our time in London.

Born in Germany..London from 10 months to 6 plus short stay in the Channel Islands... US from 6 on.

Another do nothing or not much day.... Sunday

Looking back at today... it was another "do nothing or not much day"! It was raining this morning and it probably had overnight too.. but I headed out anyway to our neighborhood WalMart. We like its English muffin bread, cookies and bagels ( bakery area).... and I needed some other things too. I also impulsed!

It was still raining when I left. Beeped the car horn when I arrived home and Bob helped me unload the car and put things away. The fridge is full.. fuller than I like, but people are coming over for our quilting/craft group this Wednesday and refreshments "have" to be served!

After all that I worked on a bear or two and read.

Harper is free!

 Harper's "cone of shame" has been taken off and her stitches removed. She is free and knows it ... rolling around on her yard's grass!!  Though she was angry with my daughter for taking her to that place ( the vet) again...

Bob and I had an errand run this morning... he to Target and me to Michael's. They are next door to each other. I finished first and enjoyed sitting on a planter to wait. The sun was delightful and no wind. Part of Bob's trip was unsuccessful. He wanted kitty litter and the pet section of Target was in the midst of "the remodel".

waiting

 Here we sit waiting for the storms and tornadoes the weatherpeople are predicting....We will listen for the sirens and if they go off we will take our phones and hustle down to the corner of the basement that has no windows and is under the front steps ( concrete). We have chairs to sit on.

Earlier Bob went and undid Harper's gate so the lawn mowing guys could get in... when he returned I headed out to Price Chopper  to buy this week's sale items plus what we are out of.

Our grand daughter called... worried about the predicted weather. Bob told her what to do and reassured her. She is all finished with this semester in college... another all A's ! Hooray for her! She has an online class this summer and four classes this fall and then will graduate!!

later...it did get windy and we did get a little rain but that's it!!

 

 

Windy Saturday

Yesterday we got up early and headed out to Blue Springs' second market... the Main Street one. Next weekend we will go to the Farmers' Market. The parking lots and streets were full of cars and people walking around.Finally found a spot!

Lots of people at the market... in fact came across teacher/daughter and her family! I mentioned to her husband that a booth was offering chicken feet for dogs. The jar full of feet looked weird. He bought two for their dog ( later report was negative though Moxxie did end up walking around with one in her mouth!) We bought small yellow tomatoes, sourdough bars, white bread, radishes.

There was a booth with all sorts of gorgeous mushrooms. Very pricey and I am not sure what to do with them and according to the booth holder, they spoil pretty quickly.

So all in all... my step count was higher than usual. Bob and I enjoyed a slice of bread and butter as soon as we got home. 

I worked on bears... Bob mowed. The weather report talks about storms tomorrow and Monday!

We are headed out to Moocho's in Oak Grove for dinner with elder daughter  tonight...

later..

Dinner was great. The restaurant wasn't busy so we just stayed and talked. Harper has another vet visit Wed. to see if her "cone of shame"  can be removed.

Bob thinks he has a plan on how to fix the gate so that Harper can't get out again...Currently he has screwed a board across the gates but that has to be taken down for the lawn mowing guys. And put back on when they're done.

 

yesterday was down right HOT

 Yesterday the temp reached a high 90 F! It was down right HOT... meaning a change in bedding, pj's etc. And having the ceiling fan in my bedroom ON! So no long leg pj's and no quilts ( just a sheet). The fan was great... Bob hasn't turned on the a/c yet.

Harper's visit to the vet didn't result in the removal of her "cone of shame"  ... she has it wear it for another week.. and we have to give her ( and Scout) another week of afternoon supervised pee breaks.

I have signed up for the next Bright Star Promotions online bear show/sale June 13 - 16... so it's time to get to work!

later... Bob turned on the a/c. That should mean better sleeping!!
