June 2020... Please tell us about your Day... June Flowers should be showing...

Today didn't start out as a good day for me. I had to go to a funeral this morning for a very sweet woman. My Son has been with her daughter since his divorce. It was very sad but beautiful. It seems like now at a lot of funerals they have pictures on a slide show of the persons life with music playing . As I sat there watching it a man came up to me and said "Barbara is that you". I looked at him but didn't recognize him at first. Then he said he couldn't believe it was me. He said I can't believe I've seen you after years and that they are playing our song on the video. They were playing "I'll be seeing you." Then it hit me who he was when he said he would run to me to dance that song with him at the Saturday night dances. He was on the football team at the all boys High School where the dance was at. I even remembered his name. I didn't want to tell him that it wasn't me he ran over to dance with it was my friend Patty. He even took her to the Senior prom. So I just left it at that.
Then I got in our car and banged my head really hard on the grip on the bag door. My Husband got in and we headed home. When I was walking up the stairs to our front door I fell down and bruised both knees . As soon as we got inside my hubby cleaned up the marks on my knees and put on neosporine ,
After he was done I told him I was going to take a nap, and I did. What a fun way to start the day.

Sounds like one of my days, too, as I'm always banging my head on things..it's a wonder I have any sense left in my head... :LOL:

anyhow...I hope you will feel better after all that banging and bruising.

Sassycakes,hope you are feeling better
I went on mid morning walk at 10am before the rain came,it was still humid outside
The rain/ brief t storm came around 1,didn't last long.Another t storm at 3 lasted 10min,but the humidty is gone.I won't have the fan on tonight in bedrm for a change,instead a cool SW breeze nice sleeping weather
 
I didn't do much today. It's been very hot here, so I sat out in the garden with my headphones on listening to some political debates... and doing a crossword.. spent 1/2 hour out.. then an hour indoors , then 1/2 hour out in the garden again. Noticed after my shower today that I've got 2 Big black eyes the result of me hitting my head on the concrete, but it's taken 3 days to show up... .

My knee is healing nicely, shoulder not so much.. .tomorrow hubs is taking the day off so we can go out, it gives him a break in the middle of the week before he goes back working an 80 hour week from next week... just a pity no cafe's pubs or restaurants are open until a week saturday.. but we''ll take a picnic with us wherever we go..

be well @Sassycakes

Beautiful day here, Cleaned and took a longer walk with Doggie Delight.

Pulled out some invasive vines at the edge of our wood that choke and kill saplings. Our landscapers don't bother with that- they come in with chainsaws and cut down the little trees at the perimeter when they're dead. Annoys me.

We need rain!
 
Lazy today and not willing to play in the mud as I have been doing around the yard. Finally, we got a meaningful amount of rain, mixed with sudden outbursts of sun and bursts of high winds. It's the kind of day best spent by observing it from indoors!
 
On my early walk around 6:30,wearing capri pants/knit shirt with pull over since it was breezy winds 20-25 mph was 60,felt cooler
My long walk of the day,walked 8 blocks to/from Walgreens needed couple of items.
I passed by my church longing to go inside but its still closed
The rest of my day,reading NYT,my book.After dinner,will tackle today's NYT crossword puzzle
 
Wasn't feeling so good until I had a glass of water and lemon juice. For some reason that always makes me feel better.

Some of my neighbors are acting obnoxious lately and that caused me a sleep problem last night..and then kept waking up. I hope to get a better nights sleep tonight.

Took the dog out for a short walk. She always enjoys that!

I am really enjoying the past 2 days of being able to have the windows wide open with fresh air blowing in! Got to appreciate this while it lasts!
 
It's nice to read your comments about your days, Ruthanne, and moviequeen......

Holly, I hope you are on the mend, after that awful-sounding fall you took.
Some of those bangs and bruises will heal slower than others, I imagine.

Numerous stresses for me, this week and next...I am trying my best to take them one at a time.
Kitty and I enjoy seeing some wild birds, from the window.
 
Today was beautiful! Sonny and I drove to Waterloo, NY, to meet his cousin and his wife and their family. Sonny hadn't seen his cousin in 40 years and his cousin was 7 years old at the time. Now he is a grandfather! His wife is beautiful but she is dying and doesn't have long. She wanted to go to Vermont to visit family. She had become great friends with Sonny on FB (because he is funny) and wanted to meet him. Her parents were with them, they are Hawaiian and such wonderful people. We met at a diner and there were 10 of us.

The diner was small but roomy and they were sanitizing, social distancing and careful about everything. Salt and pepper is in packets not shakers. We had to wear our masks in and if we left the table for any reason (bathrooms). It was nice and I stayed on my Keto food plan very easily.

It was a good day and I will write more about it in my Diary. Maybe tomorrow. I am so tired tonight.
 
Today we went hiking (all on mostly flat ground) in the forest , near the yacht club and the lakes and nature park.... It was 92 degrees here but the forest canopy of trees kept us cool...and we were very social distanced from just about the rest of the world.

Almost all of the bird Hides ( that's huts where you can go inside and watch the different bird and insect species and general wildlife ..ottters and such, without them knowing you're there.. )..were closed to the public around the park due to social distancing , but we found one which was open and of course we were the only ones in there, and I took this picture of the lake out of one of the windows.. ( they're shuttered windows without glass and closed until someone goes in and open them to watch the wildlife through binoculars.. as we did today)

Even though it's all only within 1/2 hour of home when you're in the forest and lakes it's like you could be anywhere in the world...

It was extremely hot today.. but our usually busy roads were very quiet because 1/2 the population was at the beach ( see the covid thread) ... so we took the chance to get our Bi-monthly grocery shopping done on the way home..knowing the supermarkets would be empty and they were...

It's almost midnight here.. 70 degrees, and very humid thank Goodness for my oscilating floor standing fans or I'd be dying of heat stroke with no AC here..

Kaila..did I tell you I have 2 whopping Black eyes now?..it took several days for it to come out, and they're every colour of the rainbow now..very tender to touch my eyebrows, or my cheekbones.. Thank goodness for my sunglasses to hide them so I could go out today.. :cool:

Sorry to hear you're having a stressful time :(...I hope everything goes as you hope , and if there's any way we can be of help you know just to shout..
🧡
 
That sounded like a beautiful outing, @hollydolly
and I love that photo you took...... I can feel I am almost there. What a peaceful place.

I had imagined you likely might have the 2 black eyes, and very tender and difficult face. :(

IF you'd had any trouble with others not social distancing,
perhaps you could have just slid off the :cool:
:ROFLMAO: they might have backed off.

Thank you, I will remember to yell and shout at the computer screen,
if I get overloaded and need to. :oops::eek:

So sorry....Sassy....Hope you feel better....♥
 
Today I went food shopping....I use to love to shop...But with the masks and all that you have to do in the market, it's straining....
I did buy 195 $ worth of food....
I put everything away when I got home....Hubby helped....I then went outside with my bathing suit and jumped in the pool....
Came back in the house to get some coffee and decided to have a muffin....(I deserved it) hahaha.....
Having my brother for lunch tomorrow....We haven't seen him since December....We were in another State....We are home now...
Be Well, Everyone ♥
 
Rather a lost week here in Florida. Each day the temps are in the mid 90s, and the Covid-19 is growing at an alarming rate. Best just to stay home and do the best we can. Had groceries delivered yesterday, a large order, but we always manage to forget something.

I promised the wife I would take her for coffee and a ride along the coast, just to get out of the house.

Know what you mean, Pappy, about the heat and Covid-19.....I'm in Florida too!
Hang in there! Good idea about a drive near the coast, sounds nice.
 
This morning I went to the store on "Jazzy" (my mobile chair). Today I was brave and decided to see if I could get in the Dollar Tree which is next to TOPS. I did. As soon as I came to the door, a cashier ran to the door to help me in. And when I left she did the same. I got a couple of 4th July decorations for my door and an USB thing for my son that he wanted.

Yesterday, I cleaned the filter on my air conditioner and today it is super cold! I was so afraid I had worn it out.

It has been a good day here. Hope you all had a good one too.
