Yep......yesterday was a really nice day....and today....well, it is getting warmer and warmer and tomorrow it is supposed to be in the lower 90'sF. WHAT a change in such a short time. (End of weather discussion for tonight).
Yesterday we left mid-morning and went to Cape G. Each time I drive down there....as it has been for the past year....my eyes can barely remain on the highway....as I just want to stare at the massive destruction which that inland hurricane caused in the national forest that lies to the east/southeast of F'town. Trees down everywhere...laying east to west, and on top of them north to south, with a few individualist trees laying any which way. Contracts must have been let for tree farmers/loggers as these tens and tens of thousands of trees are slowly disappearing with their only remains being rough stumps or root balls. But.....the landscape is now changing with each and every trip we make to Cape.
The 1st Lady needed to have her glasses adjusted....and that took more time than we thought it might. Then....I had to get a PSA test done on my beautiful red blood which they collected from my right arm almost totally painlessly..YEAH!!
From there....we went to Becky's home.....and later all of us went to see Mike for the afternoon/early evening. Returning Becky back at her house.....I received a call that MY glasses had returned, so back to the Mall I went, leaving the 1st Lady to visit with Rachel. They adjusted my inside glasses, but didn't take the time to adjust the sunglasses. Well......all seemed good as we drove home last night.....after dark, of course.
Arriving back at the sticknbrick, I took care of some emails and replies....and then hit the bed to continuing reading the Lee Childs novel that I am engaged in......quite a good story and just not able as yet to determine the outcome....THAT I like. I really do not enjoy reading a book that by the halfway point, I am able to determine the outcome of the story. Soooo, I read too long, but my new glasses do help while reading in a horizontal position!!!
SAT: This morning.......I was awake and fixing my coffee when the 1st Lady came into the kitchen area......surprised me that she was awake and up sooooo early. But.....guess she had slept herself out.....and was ready to tackle the day.
Coffee, maple/brown sugar oatmeal with grapes, strawberries, and blackberries on top of it made a most delightful breakfast!!!!! Ummmm.....sooooo good!!! And then the day began.........
During the day, I did plant the geraniums which I had purchased a couple of days ago. After getting them into the moist ground, I could see that it need a couple of more to fill up the afrea along the walk from the driveway to the front entrance of the sticknbrick.......so, this afternoon I went to Walmart and purchase two more, along with picking up a large back of red mulch to finish the area in front of the house. I waited until the sun went down behind the sticknbrick before I finished the job of planting and mulching. Looks good, even if I do say so myself.
This evening the 1st Lady made a loaf of banana bread chock full of wonderful nuts.....and it is really quite yummy!!!! Love it when it is still warm with real butter spread over the slices!!! WOW.....sooooooo damn good!!!
The day.....and yesterday included....have not been anything out of the ordinary. Just two days of continuing my ever-shorter Lifespan.........not much accomplished, but not much that needed to be done! One hour this afternoon was spent trying to decide if I was going to purchase a calling plan for one month so as to make phone calls to us and from us while we are Canada....still not sure, but for $4.99, I can save 20 cents per minute if we need to call the states or in Canada while we are there for those two weeks.
I also booked a hotel.....a Quality Inn/Suites....only a half mile from the STL airport for Wednesday night. Our flt is at 6:45AM on Thurs morning....ungodly hour....and by booking their Park and Fly package, we can leave our car at the hotel for 14 nights, and the hotel will shuttle us over to the airport Thurs morning, and back to the hotel when we return as part of the deal.!!!!!! And....the price was only $59.99 for the room/package.......only half the price of parking at the airport long term parking lot!!!!!! Quite a deal!!!!!
And sooooo, as always.....
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
