I'm off to the roller rink...have a good day!
 
I went on my early walk this morning around 6:30 it was refreshing cool temp was 70
After breakfast I went over to Marcia&Dave's house{they live 2 blocks away} had a NYT article for them.Marcia was about to put the sprinkler on,walked inside, Tage,family dog{pharoh hound} started barking. When he saw it was me got excited,wagging his tail ran over to the sofa where Dave was sitting Tage jumped off, I threw one of his toys at him,he thought that was great fun . As I was talking with M&D, he went back on the sofa,laid down for a rest. I stayed for about 1/2 hr, when I got up to leave,he wanted to go with me,told him NO,be a good boy' . I can't over how quickly he remembers who I am
The rest of my day haven't done much it was too hot/humid to be outside stayed in my livingrm with fan on reading my book
 
Daughter just rang a short time ago.. she doesn't usually ring this late 9pm is the middle of the night to her, she's an early to bed and early riser..but she had some good news...I won't relate it here, but it involved someone who caused her great angst , who deserved to get their comeuppance.. finally getting it..

I'm going to visit her next weekend.. and the call turned into what she would like me to bring.. for example.. she's having a Monitor and an Apple mouse that's no longer in use here.. and several other tools and trinkets .. and now she wants me to take one of the dogs' beds that I keep in the barn... and a Hot gun that I don't use which is pretty new, and some Chisels.. .. lol.. I thought I'd better get off the phone before she strips my house.. :LOL:
 
@hollydolly, when the son comes by, the first thing he does (after he gets the dogs off him) is to go open the fridges and freezers, check for leftovers or frozen things he might want to take home. I keep some frozen homemade meals. Then he is off to the bathroom, yep, you know what!!! Why this is his favorite place to do that I don't know but it is everytime he is here. LOL

lol... my husband used to do the same with the bathroom thing... he said he couldn't ''go'' on the works toilets, so he'd always wait till he got home... :rolleyes:
 
I'm not doing much of anything, still waiting for my metatarsals to feel walk-on-able. I did 3000 steps on the treadmill in the hotel fitness room this afternoon and my foot feels much less painful, not limping now, but I think trying to go into Boston would be a mistake. Might wait until after the podiatrist appointment I made for Tuesday, though there is a protest demonstration on Monday I'd like to be part of, but I'd have to get myself out 2 hrs earlier than normal so doubt I'll go, afraid I'll have to let the young people handle the future.

Got a good chuckle today watching an old YouTube of Warren Buffet where he was joking that he needed to write a book for billionaires on 'How to Live on Just 500 Million' because when he'd call other billionaires to try to get them to take the giving pledge (a rich people thing about pledging half their net worth to philanthropy) some of them said they didn't think they could afford to take the pledge. Everything is relative I guess!

Last night I was up until 4 AM reading about bonds. My investments are all so low and sad right now, but it seems like the people over on the FIRE forum are currently enthusiastic about buying their own bonds (i.e., the actual bonds, not a bond fund), so if they are right maybe I could try selling off my target-retirement-year fund and trying to do better. My retirement account has dropped so much in the current market, but on the other hand, it regularly pays out either dividends or cap gains, so I like the income stream, just don't like seeing the price keep falling falling falling. Anyway it is something to read about while waiting for my foot to get better.

Too bad her family didn’t kick up a fuss or a lawsuit. The doctors killed her. They’re so damn busy protecting their own butts. It’s the same way here. The medical authorities have decided that diazepam or similar is evil so they watch every single prescription that is written. My doctor used to blanch when I asked for a renewal. It was nearly 50 years and I was judicious with the use. Their only interpretation of “Do No Harm” is to themselves.

It was a wonderful wedding. My stepson was so happy to see me and asked if I would be his dad’s partner because parents were walking in together as couples once the others were seated. Then I was in all the family pictures. The bride’s family was very nice and welcoming.

His mom died 2 years ago but was mentioned in the program and after the best man gave his speech my stepson talked and mentioned both his mom and me which was sweet. My ex was very nice to me and it was a great time.

How fantastic... that's lovely :D
 
Today we are off the lovely old town of Christchurch, where we are taking part in a classic car event.

You see the request for a drip tray, our car doesn't have anything so vulgar. She has a commode.

Seen here at a previous meeting next to another MG, the rather sporty looking TC.

Our watering hole where we shall enjoy our Sunday lunch. Will we dress up?

Is there any other way?
 
Got to Mass okay. Spent Weds night at a Comfort Inn, which takes dogs. It was a fantastic experience -far above what I expected from a previous stay at a CI. Three dogs spent Thursday afternoon/evening acting mean to each other, but no biting or anything. Friday they got along so much better. Yesterday, Aidan found his voice and started barking constantly at the other two, who were behaving. Spray bottle time. The two mini Aussies are great dogs. By the end of first week, I think the dogs will be fine. If I can just get Aidan to shut up. Right now he is barking because he wants to be with my cousin's aide, who is busy.

Will write more later in a diary I'm going to call Massachusetts Rebound, since this is my second time living here.

Hope everyone is well and doing great! I have to go to church -- I agreed to this for one time only. It will be a good chance to meet some of my cousin's friends.
