When I went on my early walk this morning around 6:50,was already 56 out,no wind,heard birdies chirping.It was another p .sunny warm day temps in low 80's
I had no real plans ,did my laundry this morning was going to sit outside in our community garden after lunch.My plans changed when my close friend,Marcia called and asked if I would walk the family dog'Aker'{pharoh hound} my 'buddy boy' at 3.They were going someplace south of the city would return around 7pm.The last time I walked him by myself was last Jan or Feb,this made my day
When I walked into the house{I have a key},he was lying on the sofa,tail started to wag,asked'want to go for a walk',his ears perked up.We went almost around the block,he was sniffing,cking things out,starting to pant since it was warm outside.When we came back,he rushed into the kitchen by his water bowl,patiently waited for his treat.As I was leaving,bent down to give him a hug,he sighed

Today is my day to wash sheets, and if they deliver the toilet repair parts that I ordered, I will be up to my elbows in the toilet bowl this afternoon.

Yesterday, was our weekly house cleaning day and I kept my standing date with Sally Miele the vacuum cleaner. Then, I got to go buy more coffee beans which is always pure "excitement."

They finally delivered the parts just before dinner and when I got back from the mailbox that toilet failed completely and had me postponing dinner while I played plumber. LOL, Getting things working again actually took less time than I anticipated, but I was not a happy camper while my tummy was growling.
 

Morning started out ok, got really bad, then worst, finally got better around 12 and we were able to go to Wendover Nevada as planned. The drive is long, everything was completely brown from the drought, our favorite buffet had been turned into a restaurant 😢.

But it was the first long drive we had in over a year, so nice. The casinos, all of them, were packed. We went to our favorite. They had temperature machines that took the temperature of everyone who entered. If you had a temperature of over 100.4 you were asked to leave.

We play for an hour, slots only separated by plexiglass, lost our 100 dollars and let. Long drive home. Still it was a good time, some thing near normal. Got dinner at McDonald’s for the 3 bundle so 6 bucks.

As for the awful stuff in the morning, will write about it another time. Still 🤬. My youngest sons social worker is going to get an ear full Monday. 🤬. Hopefully, I will be calmer by then. Another very good reason why we do not own guns.

Have been practising driving my new electric wheelchairs and mobility scooter.

I was late coming down this morning and to my surprise my girlfriend had got breakfast ready. She’d set the table, plated up ham and cheese, boiled eggs, cut bread and made coffee all on her own.

Then later she fixed lunch - enchiladas on her own too, also for the first time without any help from me.

A big achievement for her because if you didn’t already know, she’s almost totally blind and has just a tiny blurred pinprick of vision left in one eye.

So proud of her.

Now we’re just taking things easy.

I saw this yesterday and thought about it quite a bit. I would be proud of her too. In fact I find myself feeling very proud of both of you. You two have built a loving relationship under circumstances that most of us would find daunting.

One thing I’m really grateful for that the pandemic changed in our area is that all casinos were shut down. No casinos are open so no people losing money needlessly. The pandemic is stressful enough.

Even though you don’t see people losing money in ordinary casinos what you don’t see are the vast numbers of online casinos where so many people lose large amounts of money without anyone else noticing. Many of these casinos offer a bonus when you sign up. For example if you bet 100 dollars they ”give” you another 500 dollars ”for free”. What many people don’t realise is that there are usually conditions attached. In some online casinos you have to bet up to 35 times your original bet plus ”free bonus” before you can cash your winnings. That means in this example 35 x 600 dollars ie 21 000 dollars.

So sad to say many people are still losing money needlessly quite probably including those who can’t visit ”physical” casinos.

I don’t know why but I hadn’t even thought of online gambling. Of course. You’re right. And people can get even more drunk and reckless. How sad.

I feel bad for people who have gambling addictions and are alcoholics or drug dependant. One good thing is that at least these people don’t have to drive home.

It’s too bad it wasn’t illegal. What a sad waste of money, time and health.
 
Sunday. My son left for Nebraska at 4am to get to catch his flight. Early goodbyes for all.
‘Last night, we went to Outback, I call it Outhouse, for supper. Had my first blooming onion, and it won’t be my last. So good. Today, we are going to Lowe’s to replace our flowers out front. Need something that can stand the heat down here. Daughter leaves Monday morning to go back to Poughkeepsie, NY.
 
Today we've booked lunch at the pub for Wednesday, when my hubs has a day off, and for Saturday at another favourite pub in a town about 40 miles from here for my Birthday lunch... all the pubs are opening tomorrow after the best part of a year ...who have outside space available for service, no service indoors until the end of May at the earliest...I do hope the sun shines...☀️☀️
 
Just mowed the lawn yesterday and this morning I saw this guy in my yard. Around Apr-May I'm concerned my lawn tractor might hit them when I mow the lawn. I wonder if there are turtle nests around here. Last yr I saw a few with different sizes in my yard and driveway. This one is about the size of orange or grapefruit.

And the beat goes on... :giggle:
 
For some odd male reasoning,, hubby picked out a large ham for us.
Today I'll bake it ,, after I slice off enough to make ham & scalloped potatoes.

Our rhubarb is up & he's hoping for rhubarb custard pie.

Going to be busy day with baking, caring for pup.

And I have to go for a mammogram & bone density this after noon .
