Summer Has Definitely Arrived

Monday evening (see I told you I would continue) Kevin and Renea took me and her mom and dad over to see Ryan’s new house.  I really like it.  It is a three bedroom/two bath.  He will be renting the other two bedrooms to two of his friends.  The place has a large fenced back yard which his dog (Ashes) will love.  She was already running around and checking it out.  She is also making friends with the two dogs next door. 

After visiting Ryan’s house we went to supper at Bob’s Burgers on Hwy 80.  They have very good burgers and they make “fresh” French fries.  You can get the frozen kind if you want, but I prefer the fresh ones.  They have a large variety of food.  After eating we came home.  I watched a little television then went to bed.

Tuesday I went to Barnes and Nobles and picked up a couple of books I had been waiting for.  I also stopped at Joanne’s Fabrics and picked up a few items.  Then it was home for lunch.  During the afternoon I worked on the front grass again.  It is really looking good.  By this time I was tired, so I took a shower and called it a day.

Wednesday I finished the front yard.  I didn’t do much else except for a few odds and ends in the house.  I am still working on the apron.  I am almost finished.  It looks really great.  I will take a picture when I am finished.  I should have started my Christmas presents last January.  If I didn’t need sleep I would be okay 😊

Thursday was a bad day.  My vertigo and VOR hit with a vengeance.  I didn’t do very much.  I did the exercise that the therapist told me to do and spent the rest of the day resting. In between resting I did laundry.  Besides it rained most of the day so I couldn’t get outside anyway.  I received a couple of packages delivered by UPS.  They contained a couple of Christmas presents – more work!

Feeling much better today.  However, it was just a routine kind of day.  Kevin and Renea left for Arkansas to visit with Rick and Beth.  Of course, their house is as busy as if they were home.  Renea’s mom and dad are taking care of the dogs.  I started watching the Xfinity NASCAR race, but it got rained out so I went to bed.

Saturday was a sunny hot and humid day.  Typical Alabama in the summer.  Again, I just did some indoor stuff, including working on the embroidery.  Went to Mass and picked us Zaxby’s for supper on the way home.  In the afternoon I watched the Xfinity race.  Saw all but the last couple of laps because I had to leave for church.  After supper I watched the NASCAR Monster Energy race.  I did stay up and watched the complete race.  I don’t think there was a car left that didn’t have some kind of damage.  Sure was a lot of booming, banging and a lot of wrecks.  Wasn’t dull, that’s for sure.  We had some storms roll through in the evening.  A lot of lightning and thunder. 

Sunday is again sunny hot and humid.  Will probably storm again tonight.  Today I am doing a couple loads of laundry and will try and finish my embroidery project.  Bruce, Jennifer and their family are coming over.  They are going to work in the garden.  Kevin told them to pick whatever vegetables they want so they don’t go bad before they get back.  They are also going to swim. 

Actually, Jennifer and Bethany worked in the garden.  They picked a LOT of green beans, tomatoes, and several types of peppers.  I think they also picked an onion.  Bruce used the weedeater all around my place.  Nick mowed the grass inside the fenced in area.  They called it quits after that and went swimming.  Bruce also put away the “big” hose that was laying on the concrete pad where I park my car, and used the blower to get rid of the grass clippings.  At this point I went over and visited with them for a while.  Had a very nice time.  I even came home with some tomatoes. 

That was it for the day.  I had a glass of wine, ate supper, watched some television and went to bed.
