What's on your agenda for today?

Congrats, Pappy!

Daughter, hubby and I went for a bike ride to the botanic gardens, had a nice lunch in the cafe and wandered around the gardens. Got some nice photos which I'm putting in an album here if anyone wants to look.

It was sunny and about 16c, low 60's. Tomorrow is expected to be sunny and upper 60's.
 
Congrats, Pappy:)

A bike ride in the sunshine, lunch, botanical gardens...sounds divine.

I had a perfectly wonderful time digging in the garden and planting flowers. Alas, didn't get to lay any sod. The kind I need isn't available. Seems it had some sort of disease last year and it hasn't been figured out yet so this year's sod is diseased as well. Daughter's landscaper was here today and said the best thing I could do is live with the bare spots for the summer, aerate and then seed in the fall. Maybe, just maybe it'll work. I've tried everything else. Darn it. At least we'll have plenty of pretty flowers, and the flower garden takes up more space than the lawn.

For whatever reason, I'm very tired and have been for a couple of weeks. Can't explain it and it's just not like me. I may have to cave and make an appointment with my friendly, neighborhood physician. It pains me to have to do that because "doctoring" just isn't my nature. In the past 10 years, maybe I've seen my doctor two or three times in between September physicals. This getting older stuff is a darned nuisance.

Tomorrow is going to be another sunny day! And warmer than today. Love it:love_heart:
 

Mornin' Folks,

Just a very quick helloo...I'm literally just getting ready to dash out the door. Gonna be another very hot day today and I won't see it apart from out of an over AC'd office window , so while everyone is dressed in shorts I have to have a jumper and a jacket on..Typical that on my day off tomorrow the temps are going to drop and it's going to be cloudy too...*sigh*...have a good day folks whatever you're up to..
 
Got my SUV washed and polished the other day. Next morning....it's covered with pollen. We've had tons of rain so I thought it had been mostly washed away. I guess 'mostly' is the key word. Oh well.....

Played golf yesterday and finished painting some house trim work left over from last Fall. Just a couple of posts to paint and I'm done. More golf this morning.
 
Today's get a massage day. Mailing a book to UK so have to stand in line at the Post Office. For domestic shipments I just have to leave postage paid packages on the counter...no waiting. Visit the nursing home at both lunch and supper to help Maggie with her meals.

Maggie is so fortunate to have you, Josh, and I commend you for your devotion. :)
 
I agree Glinda. All nursing home patients need a family member to visit often and make
sure they are okay. Unfortunately some don't have family who live nearby and that is sad.

Good for you Josiah for being so kind to your wife and helping with her meals.
 
In memory of my grandmother whom I loved more than any other member of my family, I visit two nearby nursing homes. Gramma was able to avoid that fate, many are not. I love the residents, we laugh, sing, play cards, tell jokes, talk about whatever they wish. I bring sugarless candy to some, homemade cookies to others. Try to remember birthdays, and touch my friends as much as possible, just because they are old, doesn't mean they don't need love. I need them every bit as much as they need me. One Welshman, who resembles Paul Newman, has a tenor voice that would shame Pavarotti. Another woman plays by ear, just as my gramma did. My gramma could play the saw!
 
Well I started the day off with a Pedicure & Manicure and then a haircut, then a bit of grocery shopping. Then I took my well groomed body home and got on the computer and started responding to posts. I always like to be well groomed when I go on Senior Forums.:cool:
 
Sorry you've had some rough times at work, Georgia. Hope it all changes for the better!

The last few days have been really busy. The appliance repair guy came and fixed my broken fridge which apparently had been zapped during a big thunderstorm we recently had. Took my car up to the dealer because the fuel filler door wouldn't open - they got it open and found that the rubber ring inside the cap had worn out so they replaced it. That was a big plus as I needed gas which is hard to put in the car if the fuel door can't be opened. Today the handyman came to restructure some drywall in my house that had gotten some cracks in it. This will require another day's work to get the fixed stuff repainted. Seems like keeping things from falling apart takes a lot more time than I realized - my DH was the one who always handled seeing to the repairs and I did the wifely jobs. Live and learn!
 
Yesterday went to the gym then a bike ride to a beach with daughter and hubby. It was sunny and mid 60s. Same for today but no bike ride.

Stepdaughter and family coming tomorrow so need to be sure house is 3 year old proof and Stella is in the fridge. Need to get my dumbbells where 3 year old can't get them as I have images of him picking one up and dropping on his toes!
