Today
is another day – brilliant statement, right?
This morning I went to Tigertown.
First stop was Target so I could pick up two toys that Copper likes. Kevin and Renea do not go to Target so I said
I would get them. Jana had given Copper
one for Christmas and he liked playing it, so much so that it finally was
destroyed. So I bought two of them this
time. I also went to Kroger, and stopped
to fill the gas tank on my car. I also
bought a toy for Penny. She played with
it when I first gave it to her, and then she put it aside for later. It was a mouse – not a pizza. Typical.
Since
it has been so hot and dry I have not been doing much yard work. It is supposed to rain on Sunday – I will
believe that when I see it – and then cool down for a couple of days. Hopefully, I will get some yard work
accomplished then. The only thing I have
been doing is watering trees, bushes and flowers. Some are doing good, and some not so
good. My tulip poplars still do not show
any signs of life. My yellow irises are
finished blooming. However, the dark
purple iris have just opened.
So,
while I have been inside I have been learning to make placemats. I think I mentioned that in a previous
blog. Anyway, I made a set for me first
to practice. They didn’t turn out too
bad. I definitely still need practice,
especially making the edges straight. Oh
well, they are mine.
I also made Brian and Tracy a set. Mine are the same on both sides, but I used different material on the two sides of the ones I made for them. I think they turned out pretty good. Getting better.
Sunday
we had some rain, about ¼ inch. We are
in a drought, so the only thing this meant was that I didn’t have to water the
trees or bushes today. The weeds are
growing (like weeds) and they really need to be cut, but the grass is so dry I
hate to run the mower over the weeds.
Hopefully, we will get some more rain during the week.
I
didn’t feel good so I just had a lazy day.
Kevin and Renea put together a plate of food for me and Stephanie
brought it over. Kevin had fixed ribs on
the grill and Renea made our favorite potatoes.
Sure was good. After supper Kevin
and Renea brought me a piece of Reece cup peanut butter pie. It was awesome! I watched a little television in the evening
and went to bed early.
By
Monday morning I felt much better. It
was a gloomy, cloudy, misty day. So, I
spent the day inside doing odds and ends jobs.
I guess you could say not much of anything. Watched DWTS and was glad to see that Heather
got cut. For some reason I just did not
like her. Of course, it now to the point
in the show where I will hate to see anyone get voted off. I have several favorites, but I don’t think
any of them will win because they are not the best dancers. We will see.
Last
week I had my bloodwork done, so today, Tuesday, I saw Dr. Miller for my
results. All of the bloodwork was
fine. However, since I have been using
the “emergency” inhaler several times a day he has prescribed a maintenance
inhaler for me. I will pick it up from
the pharmacy tomorrow. Since I will be
going to Ohio from mid July to mid September, he had me make my next
appointments for June since he put me on some new meds. My blood pressure has been consistent lately. It still drops when I stand, and I get a
little dizzy. I just have been adjusting
the way I do things.
Did
a few chores when I got home, then called it a day.

I love your placemats! I gave my sewing machine to my daughter, who then gave it to my granddaughter. She is so talented! She's in the 8th grade and makes anime costumes that are beautiful!! In case you don't know, anime is a style of Japanese animation. Her costumes even light up!
Hope you get a little more rain so you don't have to water so much. We have had a pretty rainy spring. Kind of inconsistent, weather-wise. Gets really hot, then cools off. You are getting so talented with all your different crafts. I like the placemats. Probably just throw them in the washer and dryer, which is nice. Take care.
Love, Arlene and Bob
If you are going to be in Ohio starting in mid July, will you have time the last week to see us?
