Friday! YAY!

So glad it's the weekend.

Lunch at Amy's with Karen and Kristin which was fun. Dinner at home - salmon and lettuce - the last from my garden. I never got more planted but I'm going to put some spinach in and see how that goes. Should get some mid September or maybe earlier.

I picked my first ripe tomato today! I know, I'm a nerd but that's exciting to me. There are tons of maters out there waiting to get ripe.

Tomorrow Farmer's Market and Habitat Re-store with Mom, then home to paint chairs.

Sunday - Rhiannon and Joey in the afternoon so Carmen and Regina can go shopping.

Almost time for bed. zzzzzzzz

Hmmmmm

Below you will see a pic of my nephew David and his wife Cassandra. I have no idea how I got it posted. I was trying to change some things on this blog, including posting this pic and thought none of it worked. Every once in a while mistakes turn out good. hee hee

so much, so little time

I mowed the back yard, finished sanding a chair except for the spot where I put some wood putty to dry today. This chair is not as sturdy as I thought so it may have to be a decoration - I'll paint it funky colors. I have 3 more chairs to sand and paint to use in the dining room. They will be painted black and all need new seat coverings. If I could just do one a night, I'd be done in no time. That will be my goal. Perhaps I can avoid being fatigued for a while. That would be nice.

I have shelves to hang, pictures to frame and hang and a kabillion other things. ARGGGGGGG

That is all.

Wow

I have been negligent in my blogging duties. Tisk tisk

Today I am cleaning and trying to be organized about it. Usually I start in one room, put something in another and start cleaning there and never get anything finished. It's amazing, but I really have to work hard at not doing that. Next, the dining room.
Everything I look at needs to be cleaned. Oh for a cleaning person!

My little garden is doing so well. All the plants look healthy and happy. Soon there will be tomatoes and lots of them! YAY. I've picked one lovely little cucumber which was yummy and a bunch of herbs. It's just so much fun. I should get out and weed later. Yes, after I finish inside.

An old friend, who I haven't seen in a while, died this week. He was only 57. I'm sad. May you rest in peace my friend.

I am so addicted to Farm Town on Facebook, it's ridiculous. Great fun though. :)

That is all for now.

hmmm....

I am up at 4:30 in the morning. Actually I was up at 3:45 a.m. Why? Dunno. Maybe I can snooze from 5 to 7 or so.

Yard work done yesterday: Moved some monkey grass and this other pretty ground cover I have, planted radishes. More stuff to move, but an hour of that and I'm tired.

Bridal shower at noon. I think we're going to have a beautiful, sunny day. YAY!

That's it.

Wow

I've been reading about the man who killed a guard at the Holocaust museum. He blows the theory that one mellows with age. I sure wouldn't want to be 88 years old and filled with such hate. I can't imagine living with it that long either. Hate destroys a person. How do people get like that? I don't know.

This guy was also a Holocaust denier. Good grief. How in the world anyone can believe that it didn't happen? That just boggles my mind. It's not like there isn't film footage, photographs and volumes and volumes of meticulous records kept by the Nazis - not to mention the survivors and liberators who have spoken out. What is wrong with these people? A bunch of whack jobs is all I can say.

I worked at a Zionist camp one summer and met a concentration camp survivor and saw the number tatooed on her arm. That was something to remember. I had so much fun at that camp and learned so much. I still remember the songs in Hebrew. What a beautiful language. Too bad I lost contact with the people I met there. It would be interesting to see them again.

That is all.

Garden, etc.

I FINALLY got all my veggie plants planted yesterday. Thanks to Amy for the use of her little rototiller - it was a lifesaver. And it's so cute. :) There are a lot of tomato plants. What was I thinking? Hopefully it will be a bountiful harvest so I can share and even can some. I have: red and yellow peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, leaf lettuce, basil, oregano,tarragon, mystery herb,and this really cool sugar plant. My neighbor gave me the sugar plant and the leaves can be used to sweeten coffee, etc. How cool.

Of course, there is still cleaning up to do in the yard and the lawn needs mowing again. What I don't understand is why yard waste can't go in the Herbie. It's natural, degradable stuff. I have no place to put it and they charge a lot for a yard waste container and you have to take it for the season, not just one or two months. How rude.

I am totally addicted to the FarmTown on Facebook. Plus I found a new game called Zilch which is a dice game and is sooo fun too. That's what I need - another game to be addicted to. :)

No breaking news to discuss because I didn't want to think about it. The Red Wings won though :). I watched a little of the game. I like hockey.

I need new Eli video because I've watched "Music Time" 900 times. It's so much fun to see him and hear him talk. I just don't know how he can be 2 already. Sigh.

And that is all.
