A scattering of stray thoughts...

The sun came out yesterday and the temperature climbed all the way up to 80.  Such an unexpected gift.  Mike pulled a steak out of the freezer and got the grill ready.  I went out and dug up my vegetable patch.  Different priorities.  The pictures are from a last week supper.  Mike thought his burger with BLT was so beautiful it should be used for a TV commercial.  He thought my rice loaf with veggies should be scraped into the bin.  So judgemental--it was really delicious.



Mike has gone to Pennsylvania for the next three days--to an antique motorcycle club swap meet.  He is taking some of his collection to sell.
If he sells this poster, I will really kind of miss it.  On the other hand, the oil cans he wants to sell...

We have another piece of land to sell--2.75 acres in Florida.  It doesn't look like we will  have the luck we had with the VT land.  Right now, you could buy some land and build a house in Florida for the same money you'd spend on three newly built foreclosed houses.  It's a bit sad how Florida goes through such booms and busts--driven by greed, mostly.

I was perplexed to find two left handed rubber gloves under my sink when we got back from Florida just abut a month ago now.  I am embarrassed to admit how long it took me to figure that one out.

The daffodils were inspired by yesterday's unpredicted nice weather and popped right out.  It's raining again today though, so they look a bit taken advantage of.

I am off the enjoy a day of "me" time in spite of the rain--beginning with swabbing out the fridge--but then some more fun things after that.

  1. I love the "scraped into the bin" comment. That's so my husband. Burgers, burgers, burgers ... and anything halfway nutritious is snarled at.

    Enjoy your day of "me" time!

  2. He's gone to an antique motorcycle club swap meet! So, he has antique motorcycles? They must be something!

    My husband loves antique cars/trucks. We have a 1930 Model A with rhumble seat, and his 1950 Chevy truck with 5 windows. :-)

    And I have always wanted to ride on a motorcycle! -sigh- Don't think I'm going to do so, by now, though. Actually, I don't even want to do so. I've done many things I wanted to experience. I'm afraid if I rode on a motorcycle now, I'd "be done." And I do not want to "be done," yet!!! ,-)

    I just wish I had a least a tiny bit of Olga in me.

  4. Swabbing out the fridge - me time? That's not on my list. But have fun, whatever you do.

  5. His looked yummy, yours looked like a long life.
    Good luck with the Florida land. I sold mine during the boom in one day for 2.5 times its apprasial value. Just lucky timing, not really intended.

  6. I'm hungry and your husband's burger is making my mouth water. I'd be happy with your selection also. In fact, it also looks quite mouth watering.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
