September 2019.... Please Share your Day...

I've been helping my Grandson and Son-in-law harvest two Huge Gum Trees the past several days. The Grandson hired a tree service to drop them....they were starting to encroach on the house roof....and then, once on the ground, we have been cutting them up into manageable sizes. These things were Huge....at least 5 feet in diameter at the base, and about 100 feet tall. I now have a full years firewood supply, and there is still at least that much waiting to be cut and hauled over here. What a Job!!! At least the Grandkids only live about 15 miles away. TreeGuy can probably relate.
 

This morning I'll be going over to my friend's Marcia and Dave's to feed family dog,Aker ,then take him for his 1st walk of the day
When I talked with my younger&only brother,John last Sun,he asked what I was doing today.Long story short,I'll be taking taxi to the airport later this morning to meet him there, haven't seen him in 2 yrs but we talk every Sun.We'll drive down to Salamanca,NY which is south of Buffalo, to visit our dad in local cemetery. We've done this a few times over the yrs since dad passed away in '96
It will be a short visit for John,his flight goes back around 6pm,look forward to seeing him Sue
 
Holly,I hope hubby is feeling better soon
I've just come back from spending lovely afternoon with my brother,nice to see him
The weather in Salamanca was p.sunny but as we drove back towards Buffalo,dark clouds were forming.John kiddingly said to me'I'll blame you if my flight is delayed because of the rain' LOL
 
Happy to say Hubs seems to be improving!! he got out of bed last night for an hour, to have a little something to eat and have a shower and brush his teeth, but then back to bed again exhausted by it. This morning, he's managed to get up, and have some coffee and toast, and stayed up for 2 hours, but he's just gone back to bed again. He's insiting he'll be fit enough to go to work tomorrow (14 hour day) if he can sleep today ... I don't think he will be well enough , but I also know him well enough to know he'll go anyway!! , so I've offered to drive him there and back and he's to come home immediately if he feels ill ..!!

@moviequeen1 , pleased you had a fab day with your brother, hope he didn't miss his flight.. 😊
 
Unpacking the van. A lot of Brits used to (maybe still do) nip across to France to buy cheap booze. I don't buy a lot of wine on my trips abroad, but I do buy a lot of obscure things that I can't easily get in the UK. On the way home, I also tend to buy booze in England because the Scottish government unfairly imposed a tariff on alcohol. Not everything is dearer in Scotland, but I can make a good saving on Gin, cider etc..
 
I won't be going to Canopy of Neighbors today or tomorrow, the office is closed because of the start of Jewish holiday,Rosh Hashanah. Our rented office space is located in the back of local Jewish Temple
This morning,I'll walk to my church where I'll be picked up by our pastorial care minister,Beth& another church member. We are going to visit another church member,Betty Alice who recently moved to an assisted living facility,Fox Run in Orchard Park,NY {south of Buffalo} for lunch
Betty Alice is my close longtime church friend,we met shortly after I joined Westminster Presb Church 25 yrs ago.She is a like'surrogate mom',I would call and ask for her advice/input in whatever was bothering me.We now talk 2-3 times/wk.She no longer drives, can't get to church.Every wk I send her our Sun bulletin,I haven't seen her in a yr,looking forward to this

Sorry you've been poorly Toffee... hope you feel better soon. 🌹

Today I got all the woodwork cleaned upstairs and down.. It was sunny this morning after yesterdays' downpour, so I thought I'd get as much done as possible inside and put before the rain started again.. ( it's just started now at 3.30pm)... I made minced beef, veggies, gravy and mashed potato for dinner for later.. and then my daughter rang from Spain and she was on the phone for an hour and a half!!

So now I'm just gonna , ring specsavers and see if my reading glasses are ready yet, it's been almost 2 weeks!!! :confused:

Holly...hope you finally are able to get your readers!
 
Here in NW AZ we're getting some of that cool air that's coming down from WA and OR where they've had snow!! We've gone from 105* to 75* in a very short time and it feels very cold to us...haha.

Tomorrow is my birthday (73!!...can't believe it! where did all the time go???) so we're going to Laughlin, NV, which is only about 35 miles from us, and we're having lunch and then doing a little gambling. We don't stay too long in any casinos because the smoke is awful! We usually come home and strip...NOT that kind of strip (get your minds out of the gutter...haha) to get rid of the smell of smoke on our clothes. Anyway, it's fun and we haven't been gambling for quite a while. We live 100 miles south of Vegas, so if we wanted to, we could go there, but I prefer Laughlin since it's smaller. The restaurants are excellent and I'm not sure where I want to eat yet. We'll see.
