Bob stopped at one of the "Mater Man" veggie stands the other day. He cam home with the most luscious peaches and tomatoes!
We've been having sliced peaches with Cool Whip.... no, no shortcake... no biscuits... just peaches and Cool Whip!!
Picking up more tomorrow!!
Yesterday Bob and I headed off to my primary care physician for an annual Medicare exam... pages and pages of questions to fill out before my doctor came into the room.
I took Bob along because his doctor is about to retire and I wanted him to take a look at mine so he could switch... btw my daughter and grand daughter both see my doctor and like her.
The exam went well...blood tests were fine except my white cell count in higher than last time... she will check it again in a month.
We stopped at Kohl's on the way home ... and were glad to actually get home. The weather is hot and humid and VERY unpleasant.
I had quilting/craft group ..last night. Lots of talking .. good snacks and so on. Though the walkways to the building were being watered when we left and I got soaked!
Bob has been coping ... rather trying to cope with a batch of some sort of weed in our back yard.... poison ivy? poke weed? Who knows. Whatever... left him with itchy rashes on both arms and hands. This morning he finally gave up and set an appointment with Care Now. He has been prescribed Prednisone. He picked the prescription up at CVS and already notices a slight improvement!!
He ordered weed killer from Home Depot.... evidently there is a lot of "whatever" on the back fence!! We decided that when he applies this stuff he has to wear long sleeves and gloves.
I've been slowly working on things for the next online show ... Nov.
The sky has been gray these past few days and HOT
Our daughter has started her new "job" at the Mid-Continent Library Raytown branch... She's filled out all the necessary paperwork... listened to all sorts of work requirement files and is eager to start working with the public....
requirements etc are very different from those for a teacher!! LOL
Bob and our s-i-l and grandson had a car problem to fix Monday. Evidently our grand son tried using his Father's car ( twice) to jump is friend's ...minor catastrophe ... Luckily it meant only a new battery and a trip to their trusted mechanic to make sure of that!!
Sorting stuff...ie decluttering...did find stuff to use for this November's show!
Here he is at one!!
This morning Bob and I headed off to my" appointment" for a fasting blood test ... it's actually a first come first served setup. After waiting and waiting I was lucky to get a fantastic tech...One poke... three vials and off I went!
But the whole thing left me feeling off kilter all day.
We were due for some bad weather yesterday,,, but it didn't happen. Nothing happened today either. The temps did drop! Tomorrow is our grandson's 20th birthday... everyone is coming for dinner , cake and ice cream. I say dinner bur actually my daughter is making the main part - shrimp or chicken enchiladas! Dominic requested the shrimp ones.
Feeling off kilter I didn't get much done!
I ( plus Bob as helper) used to travel to go to bear shows. We went all over - Texas, Florida, NY, Iowa , Illinois and all over Missouri. But the shows close enough ( in Bob's desire to drive) no longer exist.
So show promoters have switched to online shows... my latest one closed this afternoon. If you want to look at the sales page ( and there were some that did not sell) ... here is a link
I have been slowly moving toward retirement and so have two shows left - November and December..
all this is in aid of saying that these shows are the only way ( now) to purchase one of my bears . I use PayPal and mail the bear to the purchaser . With all the added rules etc for international stuff I only sell to those with US mailing addresses.
