We had another social gathering at church today (celebrating
one of our founding members, who turned 94 this week & who is a total
firecracker). It’s almost dinnertime now & I’m still full of banana pudding.
Sunday, September 6th
I went to church, and had lunch with Dad & Sue, and did many lovely things, but this is the only picture from the day – and it’s not even a photo. I was cackling at how I had dressed my finch, Fig for Sunday so I took a screenshot. She's wearing roller skates. I was picturing her in one of those California movies where they show scantily clad people roller skating near the beach. Ha!

I sent this photo to Dr. M to show him what I had been up to while he was at his dad’s. His dad has had a war on cardboard – he takes everything out the boxes & then shreds up the boxes. I also declared war on our cardboard, but I was way too trifling to even flatten the boxes, much less tear them into pieces (also, my 94-year-old father-in-law has much stronger hands than I do).
I was taming my 33-hour old topknot.
I got some new sunglass top frames. Fun!
This cat at Dr. M’s dad’s house does not trust him even a little bit (even though it definitely will get in the way while its food bowl is being filled, which I think is a universal cat thing).
A big anniversary here in the US, and also my bestie’s birthday. Dr. M got fresh flowers for his mom and grandparents’ graves. The butterflies made us think of Dolly.
This vase puzzle might actually do me in. Stay tuned!
That puzzle vase? I had no idea such was possible. I'd rather take on black and white concentric circles or some such than that thing. As for the cardboard boxes, you do know that stomping is the best approach. It's win/win. It flattens te boxes and releases tension.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no idea what your figgy finch is about, let alone what it means that you 'dressed' her. Clearly, I am older than I realized, or at least much farther out of the mainstream than I realized! But that cat? A real beauty.
Pre-whining is fine. When is your surgery actually taking place? I'm sure you've said but I've forgotten and I'm too lazy to go back through your posts to find the information.
I've made one other puzzle vase. The first rows of it are actually pretty easy, but when you get to the neck it's VERY TRICKY. This current one is in time out right now while it gets over itself. Ha!
DeleteMy surgery is Thursday, September 24th!
A puzzle vase? I've never seen such a thing. Interesting that the pieces are numbered. I'm sure there's a reason for that...?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Dr. M's cousin.
Yes! You put the pieces together in number and letter order - otherwise it would be impossible to put together (for me anyway).
DeleteShredding cardboard? (Gets up on soapbox) cardboard is the easiest thing to recycle and it actually gets recycled. Stop throwing rdboard away (gets off soapbox). Yep, the older we get the smaller our world gets. That is the way.
ReplyDeleteAre those puzzle pieces numbered? And what surgery? I forgot. My brother just had his aortic valve replaced.
I should have specified - that's our recycle bin! It definitely goes into recycling!
DeleteI'm having a shoulder replacement.
Oh - and yes the pieces are numbered which is good because it would be nearly impossible for me to put it together otherwise!
DeleteI feel like that little cat a lot lately. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYep
DeleteWhat a lovely week full of little moments, from Fig in roller skates to the vase puzzle that's nearly driving you crazy! My condolences on the loss of Dr. M's cousin, that kind of grief really does pile up over the years. Wishing you strength as you prepare for surgery, I hope everything goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
