Weekend Recap

 

    G'morning, all!


Our weekend was pretty enjoyable
(translation: low-key).

Generally, I don't like to be out and about on the weekend ... leaving the 9-to-5'ers ample elbow room.   Since Tom was feeling well enough to accompany me, we headed for a favorite thrift shop.  And another.


Not sure if I told you, but we gave son and Lois our fiberglass table and chairs that once belonged to my mother.  (Lots of hours spent sitting there, sipping wine and nibbling while she and I tried solving all the world's problems.)  So glad to keep it in the family!

It's not like Tom and I spend much time in the sunroom ..... but man, I've a mighty itch to find just the right something to occupy this space.

Honestly, I don't know what I want ... but I'll know it when I see it.  (Know what I mean?)

We'd made plan to grill Italian sausages after church, but the heat and humidity was too much.  "Disrespectful", so says the weather girl.

Tom slept while I had a nice long phone chat with Troy and Lois.

Next thing I know there came a big bang of thunder, it felt like the whole house trembled.  (Thank goodness for a Kindle that entertains when TV and Internet go kaput!)

We lucked out, but nearby Jackson Lake Island not so much.

One of the homes at Lake Jackson Island (Big Fish movie set) was struck by lightning.

According to the news, all the goats were safe, having taken shelter under the 'church.'

There's no Bible study today, so I'm going to try and schedule my car for a check-up.  I fear it's the transmission -- but won't feel safe until someone who knows what they're doing takes a look.


I've been super remiss about revising my Will, so that's on the agenda this afternoon.  A while back, when the ladies from Alabama's Agency on Aging came to talk to our study, we learned they've in-house legal counsel who's happy to review such documents and offer suggestions.  Free-for-nothing!


On that note, I need to pry myself out of this chair and get moving.
I hope you enjoy a safe and delightful Fourth!


Hugs, Myra
