Smoke Alarm Saga is over!!!!! Found the correct batteries at a Batteries Plus store nearby. I'm glad they had them because my next option would have been Amazon which meant waiting at least a couple of days for delivery. So, drug out the ladder again, put the system in test mode (so the nice firemen didn't get sent on a false alarm), took down the smoke alarm, replaced the batteries, put the unit back up on its base, cancelled the test mode and armed the system. It works! No more chirping! I feel sure I'll have to rest all afternoon to recover. Might also require some ice cream.
 
Today I am going with Sonny to the Walton's Farmers Market. I have never been to it and am excited about going. It is about 41 miles from here so will be a nice drive. I have $20. worth of free coupons that the Office of the Aging gave everyone in my building if you were over 65 and had a low income.
 
I did very little yesterday so I am doing something today. Hmm, going sit here a while and think about what I am going to do today. 😂. I am finding that’s the plus and minus of living in an apartment, there is really nothing I HAVE to do. Just stuff I should do.

Hmm, well, there is also no rush to decide. What should I do? Hmm. 🤔

I/we went to Wendover, Nv. Had a wonderful lunch. Turned our 100 playing money into no money. Came home. All in all, a good relaxing day.
 
Hank Williams called it, I'm drifting. If you listen to Woody Guthrie I'm rambling. Just arrived here in Watson Lake, The Yukon. Saw all those posts. There are thousands. As Johnny Cash put it, "Gotta hit the road and go." It's good to be away from home and watching all that bad news. Life is too short and there are just too many place I ain't seen!

there is no bricks & mortar branch of my bank in my town any more, so as I had to do banking which couldn't be done online I had to drive an hour round trip to get it achieved.. lot of faff, took 1/2 an hour within the branch to get what I went to do..done!!

Went to have a Latte at a street cafe, and I was so distracted I added salt instead of sugar...:sick: similar sachets...( and who the heck puts salt sachets in with sugar?)

Then I went to have the photo done for my passport renewal.. well, I've written about that saga elsewhere..lol :LOL:..I wasted £10 on that..I'll have to get it redone.

Picked up a few groceries.. just a few odds and ends, which in the great scheme of things I didn't really need, but as the supermarket was right next to the photo kiosk I did it anyway.. ....and it was a really grim... grey day

All in all quite an apt Friday the 13th...:sneaky:
 
I woke up around 6:10,went on morning walk to buy local paper
It was refreshly cool,temps in the 60's,didn't water the plants/flowers in garden since it rained during the night
Sadly,I have to attend a church member's memorial service this morning at 11.Fred was a long time member,a great guy,beloved by many.His wife,Val&I are good friends.In Jan 2006,I got to know Fred when we and 5 other church members on our team were sent by our local Presbytery for a week long mission trip to D'Iberville,Miss.We helped with the cleanup after Hurricanes Katrina,Rita nearly destroyed this small coastal town.I bonded with him during that week,we became good friends from that day on
The rest of my day,may sit out in garden reading ,talking with other residents
 
I'm home! I got in last night, unpacked, did laundry and slept for 9 hours straight.

14 days on the road, almost 2700 miles. After that, I think I can attack anything!

I had a marvelous time, but I passed the aftermath of a horrible accident yesterday on the interstate that left me chilled to the bone. The car must have run straight into the end of a guardrail, because the rail had entered the windshield and was sticking out through the trunk, skewering the whole car. The coroner's vehicle was on the scene, so there was a fatality for sure. It appeared to be a 1-car accident. Horrible.
 
About a week ago, workmen with diggers and pneumatic drills started tearing up the road in our street. The noise drove me out of the house to find some quiet. Then two days ago the workmen disappeared, leaving a long trench almost the full length of the street. Why do they do that, start a big job and leave it unfinished?

I was up early today, and because both ends of the street are blocked off to traffic, and it was so quiet, I sat outside in the front garden with a big pint mug of tea and a wedge of toast.

I could hear myself think, well maybe 'think' is a bit ambitious and beyond me, me being a bit dozy, but I trained my ears to hear Nora (over the road) singing 'Indian Love Call', and when she got to the line."When I'm Calling You, oo, oo, oo.....oo, oo, oo", I sang as loud as I could, "I am over here, Nora, dear, d'ya fancy a cup of tea ee, ee, ee.......ee, ee, ee?"
She just shouted back, "It's about time you cleaned your windows."
Romance definitely is dead. :)
 
@moviequeen1 ..sorry to hear about the loss of your friend's husband, she must be heartbroken, and you and all of her friends...

@jujube .. you sound like my daughter..regardless of how far or how tired she is when she returns from a trip she immediately gets unpacked and gets the washing done..
Horrible upsetting sight to see on your way home.. I hope the people survived
 
Went swimming in morning. Wife and I went to a farm stand and loaded up on fresh corn and peaches. Just put a peach pie in the oven (first ever). Will read this afternoon till it's time for an evening gathering with some very good friends. Hope we're indoors as it's about 97 degrees and ultra-humid right now.
