July 2019 ~ Please Share your Day...

This morning around 10,I'll walk to the independent bookstore{am a member,get 10% off each book} to see what looks good to purchase
 

Been searching reviews of new cars that I might like, haven't come up with anything yet that has all the requirements I need...:cautious:

In between I've been dusting the bedrooms.. changed the beds, and got the washing on...

Sun is out, so I'm sitting in the garden now on the swing seat, with my Ipad waiting for the machine to finish, so I can get the washing in the dryer...
 
Been up all night since I napped late yesterday and then had coffee this morning so I am o_O. Took the dog out this morning and wow did she ever poop a lot. Must be the carrots I gave her last night! :LOL: It's supposed to be 90 F here today so I've got the AC on already as it will be humid, too. No real plans for today but will be watching my favorite game shows in a few minutes. Staying indoors till night. Going out in the heat would only make me ill.
 

Good Morning,
Hmmm slept all night, and slept in, That does NOT happened too often for me, and haven't got lots of time right now, because adding on the the deck, and tomorrow Lorie is going away with her sister, and Mom, and nieces, an all-girls weekend, so want to get as much of the extension that I can do with help... I will be back in conversations tomorrow and playing some games... Hope YOU all have a GREAT day...
Mike
 
Not sure if is Good Night or Good Morning...

Anyhow, G'day Folks...

Well worked on part of the extension on the deck today, got a ways to go yet... But extended the front part of the deck so I can get rid of the laundry pole that is right in the way when you open the door... Have a few pics to share... My pups aren't very happy with me, cuz I didn't get the staircase back in... But will work at if for the next few days... I noticed on my phone I don't have a complete picture of the pool deck, but will take one tomorrow to show you...IMG_20190710_101444.jpg

This morning something special happened. I observed a big strong fit man pull into a handicapped parking space and walked into the Grocery store with zero physical impairments. I could tell by his muscles that he works out. He checked out in front of me after complaining to the cashier that seniors should get more of a discount on Thursdays. He leaves.
Then I'm checking out my dozen eggs and I say to the cashier...

ME: I don't like that guy because he parked in a handicapped space and there are no stickers on his windshield or license plate.
CASHIER: (in a fun black southern accent) Hon, I just say God bless em'. God's watchin' him so I don't have to. God's watchin' all of us.
ME: Well isn't that the truth. Lord knows I've done a few wrong things in my life.
CASHIER: There ya' go.
ME: Thank you for reminding me.
CASHIER: Hon, we all have ta' remind each other...now don't we.
ME: Yes we do. You've turned my day around 🙂

I just love her ❤

Hot and humid!

My doorbell rang this morning, first time in several years. It was one of my neighbors trying to stir up a stink over the kids across the hall. The kids set their trash out in the hall the night before they take it down to the dumpster on their way to work in the morning. The trash is always properly bagged and I assume that they do it because they have a toddler, a cat, two dogs and a busy life. Anyway, my neighbor was not happy when I told him it's not high on my list of problems with the apartment complex. He also informed me that he had already taken it up with the people in the office. Note to self: disconnect the doorbell!

Next stop Walmart, 'nuff said.
 
I can't believe my day. First the cashier (post59), then I went to pick up my daughters dogs for a playdate with mine and decided to stop in Whole Foods to pick up a special vegan Non-soy-sauce my daughter recommended. I got out of my car to head for the store but unbeknownst to me I had forgotten to zip up the part of my purse that holds my cash/coins (don't remind me I just bragged over in the sudoku game thread that it's helping my short-term memory lol).

I realized as soon as I got to the middle of the store that all my cash was gone. I checked with customer service but nothing. I continued to shop when a man came up to me with my money he had found. Can you believe all the nice people in the world?!

By this time it was only 10am and 2 wonderful things have happened. I thought, maybe I should play the lottery...nah, that would more than likely ruin a perfectly good day 🥰
 
G'day again Folks...

@Lara it's a wonderful way the Lord works for us, the amazing things that happen... Praise the Lord, and God Bless Everyone here...

Well, Lorie is gone now with her Sisters and Mom, and Nieces... Left me and the boys and Ginger for the weekend... I hope she has a GREAT time... She deserves it so very much... Having a quietish day today...

But, as promised I told YOU I would take a picture of the Pool Deck with the new railing... Think I have a picture of the way it was, and the way it is now...

WOW!! That's awesome, Mike! It's beautiful and such a great view too. What an accomplishment. Lorie must be so proud of you. Have fun! I love the black aluminum style fence too...very attractive.

I have one like that around my backyard for the dogs and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you for your kind words @Lara

Yes we have 15 acres, but don't like them running around out there, cuz of ticks and stuff, so I made sure I put a huge dog run in for them, they love it, especially when we have other people's pups visiting Lennie & Carls playhouse, cuz we also run a small doggy daycare and sleepovers...

15 acres is a lot of land and it's gorgeous Mike! Good investment because there is only so much land in this world. I think if you keep your field mowed short then there won't be any ticks because they hang onto the tall grass waiting to jump on a host when one brushes against them. But then you've got plenty there to keep you busy. It's nice to keep it as a natural field just to look at too.

@Lara I keep about 4 acres cut short, especially around the boys run, the pool, where we have fires and the front, past all that long grass and lots of trees... We love it, and the wildlife that is around us...

I had a funny morning today. My daughter picked me up to go to the store. She needed to buy a plant . So while she was looking around I sat down and I heard a couple arguing. The wife was looking to buy a few magnolia plants. The husband said "We already have over a dozen of them on our lawn. Can't you pick another type of Plant. " She answered him and said "No stupid,we live on Magnolia Drive,so we should only have Magnolia plants. " He looked at her and yelled "Thank God we don't live on Cactus drive or Poison Ivy drive." I really had to control myself from laughing. Thankfully my daughter came along and we left the store. I still wonder how the couple made out.:D
 
Took my car in for detailing at Delta Sonic. It needed a good cleaning. A lady came in afterward rather distressed as there was a bad smell in her car, and they were not sure if they could get it out. I tried to talk with her to cheer her up. Asked if it was spoiled food or something. She said "Nope, my husband left the body in the trunk too long." Umm...OK. Nice sense of humor though
 
Hi Mike, I'd like to jump in that pool! Looks very inviting! My day was quiet and I only slept, took the dog out and cooked chicken for dinner. Haven't eaten it yet. I'm sure the dog will love to watch me eat and hope I drop something for her..lol
 
I got up at 7(In a different state in which I live) was sittin in the Dr.'s office at 8:30 ..left at 1:45.

Went to the pharmacy picked up meds. Took Momma home..Drove 2 hours back home....

Set on the back porch for a while to unwind and catch up with the man....

Poured my self a toddy and ...here I am, as late as it is... all wound up with no where to go. o_O

This morning I'm having a bone density test at hospital where I use to work
no other plans for the day except reading my book

Good luck with that MQ1... Have had a few of them since I broke my leg so badly... The one I don't like it when they do the electric current test for feeling... Do not like that one at all... Good thing I only felt 1/2 of the test... One leg/foot nothing, but the other leg paid for it... But good luck with the bone density test MQ1
