Whoa
Nelly – there are a lot of photos this week! Let’s dive right in, shall we?
Sunday, September 11th
It was my best cousin-friend’s birthday! I’m not at all sure what was going on with my hair here, but Kim Jane is cute with her tiara, so we’re just going to go with it.
I went to my dad’s for lunch
and ate homemade chili (delicious!) and helped with the new puzzle.

Around the yard… Dr. M got the memo about taking some outside photos this week.
I saw a rainbow as I was leaving work.

Dr. M has had a LOT of feelings this week. His Aunt Judy has been living in the house where he spent the first 10 years of his life. He has a lot of memories from there – both good and bad. Now she’s heading for assisted living and the house will be sold. He spent part of the day putting a new battery in her car – they’ll keep it for her just in case she’s able to drive it again.

I went by my dad’s at lunch
to work the puzzle (and visit of course) and they told me about the surprise on
their chimney. We think it’s a sunflower – ha!

I had a meeting at church and had this situation. I had been doing really well, but, see, the spaces in our lot are kind of weird. Yeah, that’s what happened.
Friday, September 16th
Day off from work breakfast (which, I confess, I ate for three days in a row): Spinach pizza, black beans, fried egg, sour cream and taco sauce. It was GOOD.
Spent the morning cleaning
out my car. It was SO DISGUSTING that even I started noticing (mainly from leaves and gum wrappers which I THOUGHT I was throwing in the trash. And dust). Ugh. But it’s
all shiny inside now. And bonus – I found the piece of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s
robe that we were missing in this puzzle. The big question is: how did it get
under the driver’s seat?

It was my dad’s birthday! In his usual dad way he took ME out to eat to celebrate. We went to Panera because he had seen a commercial with a chicken sandwich that he wanted to try. Although Sue and I loved our lunches, he decided the chicken sandwich was middlin. After lunch Sue went to a shower and Dad & I went back to his house to eat pudding cake and work the puzzle.
Later
that day Dr. M took some photos of our asters and VERY BUSY sedum – it was
getting all the love!
I
left to have dinner with friends (we watched Kim Jane’s daughter’s wedding
video & looked at pictures – so fun), but Dr. M had a visitor so he wasn’t
alone.
I
took a photo of a photo on Kim’s camera roll – this is from the day before the wedding when I
was helping with set-up. Ha!
Tomorrow we’re doing more birthday celebrating
with my dad, and it looks to be a busy week at work. I’m already pre-tired –
especially because I woke up at 7:30 this morning after going to bed after
midnight. Rude. How are you feeling heading into the week? I know some of you
are retired, but you are still allowed to have Monday thoughts if you want to.

This time, I'd have eaten pretty much everything you photographed. The pudding cake looks like it has blueberries in it and I'm not a big pudding fan, so that's the wildcard for me.
ReplyDeleteIt actually didn't have any pudding in it. It had chunks of strawberry cake, actual strawberries & blueberries & about a gallon of cool whip. It was delicious!
DeleteAwww, Roy! I'm impressed at how many pollinators your sedum is attracting. And the sunflower on the chimney is pretty amazing! Birds and their bird seed, I guess!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've noticed the problem with the blog list -- it clearly has something to do with the feeds. I've filed a question on the Blogger help forum but no one's responded yet. Surely others are having this problem besides you and me!
I figured you would be a better researcher of the problem than I am (my "research" consisted of googling "is the blogger feed broken?" It wasn't very helpful - ha!)
DeleteHappy Birthday to your dad!!!! Such a dad thing to take the kids out for dinner! LOL
ReplyDeleteI still always feel like a giddy kid when I see a rainbow
As soon as I went outside & saw that it was raining, but there was sun in part of the sky I started looking because I knew a rainbow had to be there. And it was! I was pretty stoked.
DeleteI do know which restaurant you went to -- that game's the giveaway. There used to be a larger version called Hi-Q. We had one, and I loved playing it in the back seat of the car. I just looked and discovered there are vintage sets on ebay and etsy. I don't need one, for sure -- but on the other hand, the game doesn't need electricity or batteries, which is a plus.
ReplyDeleteI used to know how to win that game, but it's lost in the mists of time. I find it more fun to just randomly try & see what happens anyway. Ha!
DeleteWow! So many great pictures! Two thoughts - Friday's breakfast was just weird - sorry but true. And, the puzzle piece ....... gremlins. That's my answer for many odd "how did that" happenings.
ReplyDeleteOh but it was SO TASTY! And gremlins are as good an answer as anything. Although I think that mostly I'M the gremlin.
