Today we unpacked all the totally unnecessary items that we took to the vintage festival. I tell you, it took almost as long to unpack and put away all those items and clothing as it did to make the journey home. Fifty odd years ago, as a couple of newlyweds, without a pot to p*ss in, we would have been done and dusted in ten minutes. Such is life!

But I wouldn't have it any other way. She is the light and love that gets me out of bed every morning.!

I must say I enjoy your post very much. To have such joy of something you both love so much. Not many of us have had that experience. The closest I have been is spending every sunday with my inlaws and his large family. You never knew what might happen, who might show up. It was an open free for all. There was always lot's of good food, it was like a party every sunday.
 
Making our home sparkle. Cleaning and more cleaning. Tonight, I will go out and look for a new comforter for the master bedroom. Looks a bit drab. I need a new shower curtain for the guest bedroom as well. Didn't find either of these items last night. Wish me luck!
 
I washed clothes around midnight and started drying them around 8 a.m. While they were drying I went through more papers for the shredder man (just a little more to go), I had papers from as far back 2000, including checking statements from two home based businesses in my file cabinet. I watched a couple of T.V. shows, took a short nap and played WWF2, of course.
 
After my coffee, I need to figure what to take out of the freezer for meals for today and tomorrow. Then going to wash some laundry and take a walk outside to the dumpster. Doing that before it gets hot out. Then working on a story I found on my old external hard drive. I had forgotten all about it. I might take another look at that old hard drive to see if there are any other documents that I have written on in it.

You reminded me of what happened when my Dad passed away. My Mom did not know anything about their finances, so my husband had to go through all of their paperwork, in order to get her set up with all of her bills being auto paid.

It turns out that my Dad kept everything! He has so many stories of the useless stuff he found! And I do mean "found" ....my Dad had little to no system in his paperwork.

My favorite "found" item was every pay stub my Dad had ever gotten, since his first job, when he was 14 years old! 😁
 
I was going to go out today given that it's the last day of the school holidays, and the roads will be clear of major traffic.. but it's sunny and overcast & very breezy.. so not ideal for taking my pictures , so I thought I'd just stay home, and do nothing much for a change.

Ordered a poster picture from Etsy to insert in a large frame for my office room.. .. made lunch of Prawn Dumpling soup... , and aside from the chores, I haven't done anything else today.. and nothing more planned
 
So right now, I'm finishing my coffee. After breakfast we will be going into town for a Wal-Mart trip. Not what I wanted to do, but we need to replace a plastic container that keeps some electronics dry. The sun and elements have cracked it.

Since Wal-Mart is about 30 minutes away, I would hate to waste a trip for one item....so I guess I'll bring a list and do some shopping. Not looking forward to it. 😒
 
Supposed to be another hot summer day, 30, along with the next few days…..not complaining.
So…..I’ll do my morning cleaning chores…..do some outside time, till it gets too hot in the afternoon, then move to jobs in the house, and back out after supper. The days are getting shorter, only have a couple of hours outside in the evenings till dark. Sun sets at 8:30.

Here now, the sun sets at 7.50pm
 
Resting from yesterday.

Took AccessARide to a beautiful small park on the East River near son's home. Son and grandson arrived next. Played in sprinklers. Wow my grandson has really grown! Climbs, swings from objects, gosh. Enjoyed seeing all the real little kids that my grandson made me nostalgic for---he got so big so fast!

Had a picnic in park. Went to their home. Grandson into Godzilla, thanks to his dad. Loving Godzilla is a family tradition. Swam in their rooftop pool and grandson showed off what he learned in swim class. Wow, slow down, kid!

Had Mexican for dinner, took AAR home. Amazingly, no problems with them at all.

Had a really wonderful day.
