I spent the night getting my garden ornaments set out. Normally its the last thing I do, rather like decorating a Christmas tree, you know? But as I haven't planted any flowers yet, my flower beds needed a bit of scjhzoozing up with color.  If all goes well and according to my plan, I will plant tomorrow night after the gym and Friday morning.  Everything has gotten so expensive so price necessitated that I reduced my flower budget in half.  Unless I hot the half price sales in June.  Lol

Last week was a fun week, in that I was invited to the kindergarten graduation of my lil adopted granddaughter.  Such a fun time and a privilege to sit with her parents.  There was a little episode with my watch; apparently clapping with enthusiasm triggers a "fall alert".  Who knew??!   Lol. My friend  Liz helped me shut it off after several minutes of alarms getting progressively louder.   It kept asking me if I needed assistance.   Well duh!  Shit the friggen thing off!  Ugggh.

I should've known it wouldn't be a secret though....and walked in to this sign tapped to my monitor Monday morning.  Young punks! Lol

I don't have plans for the Memorial holiday other than to garden, ride bike (time to get my extended rides going!) and open up the patio for people to visit if they choose.  Of course, if hubster has plans, those trump anything and we'll spend time together.

So Sherry, who are you "falling for" these days? (Too funny) :-)

Cute pic of you and your adopted granddaughter, btw.

I too have outdoor chores to do - mow the lawn, clean all the windows, open up the patio, go shopping for outdoor plants/flowers, etc etc. Like you, I expect to see an increase in the flower budget. At least the weather is starting to warm up a tad.

Take care and don't clap too hard this summer... :-)

I was clapping for lil JoJo on her big day! Lol I had set up my phone for fall alert for when I'm biking. If I fall or have an accident my watch will notify my emergency contacts with my GPS location. I didn't expect it to go off while clapping!! Lol

Have a great weekend planting!

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
