Daily Notes for Thursday September 24th. Sunshine here in Maine...again. 60 degrees

 Nothing like this happening here in Maine.   All the leaves are still green up here.

My car is now fixed...   and tomorrow is grocery day.  I still have things to eat in the fridge...from the last time we shopped.   I also scrubbed the glass top of my new (ish) stove- there must have been some grease on the bottom of my frying pan...it took awhile but the stove top glass is now very very clean.

I also have some ironing to do but not enough items for a washing machine load.  

I have been noticing how many people on the TV shows I watch have blue eyes. I know...that sounds weird but once you start noticing it gets more and more interesting..

The newspaper said this was the second hottest summer on record for Portland Maine...I find that hard to believe.  I would believe it was the DRYEST Summer.......we usually have a few really amazing rainstorms with lightning and thunder....but not this year at all.  And perhaps not in a while.

The grass in the back yard is very very green...and needs cutting.  Front lawn not so much.

The Birthday Cake is history but I still have ice cream.

Daily notes for Wednesday September 23rd. Sunshine here in Maine....

 Veggie Sandwiches.

My Little Copper Colored Honda Fit has gone to the Honda dealership to have a recall fix...re-fixed.  It was that or buy a new car.  This seemed less expensive...but my son is there with the car.... for all the hours it takes to do the repair.    We are having an interesting few months. But I doubt he would use the word "interesting".....

My birthday horoscope suggested "lowering my spending and optimizing my earning potential". (funny)

I scheduled a Boiler Cleaning appointment for next week.  Winter Heating Potential.

Both the pictured sandwiches look good to me....the one on the left looks like cheese and salad..I'd eat that.  Yesterday I had a grocery store Meat Loaf dinner... not sure what I will have today.  I also had the last wedge of my birthday cake with ice cream......it was good day.

Cooler weather and sunshine here in Maine....prepping for Winter...lots of acorns on the driveway.

I'm continuing to watch Hudson and Rex. Lots of repeats but the occasional new episode. At first I found the candy colored houses enchanting but now...not so much. I got used to them.  Not much happens but the scenery is interesting.... I might want to visit my northern neighbor some day. See if all the houses are actually candy colored.

Daily Notes for Tuesday September 22nd...Sunshine in Maine. 60 degrees.

 Polenta with an egg.  Polenta is cornmeal and water, right???  I have those two things. No egg. My grandmother made me Cream of Wheat and covered that with butter, sugar and cinnamon.  Making me want some.  

I'm not sure I agree with putting an egg on everything and anything these days. I hardly ever buy eggs.

I am being harassed on the phone with calls..."hello...can you hear me...etc".  I used to tell them to get a "real job" but that only makes them call more frequently.  I had jobs where I answered the phone but never one where I called and annoyed people.

Not one clue as to how to spend the day.. today...I could continue with sewing scraps of fabric together to make squares...but I need good television programs in order to make that work for me.  Law and Order???? Yesterday I watched Antiques Roadshow.   For awhile and then got bored.  The computer is writing the ends of my sentences for me.

Well, I have nothing of any interest to tell you...going to the Library later than usual is not a good idea... I drifted thru  the bookcases and found nothing....but did get very dizzy so we went home with two books in the bag...  I did return the ones I had in the bag from last week.  I also got a copy of a book I have in my bookcase...a larger sized paperback...easier to read.  The Hating Game...was new decades ago. Bickering office workers.    Take care...enjoy the day.

Daily Notes for Monday September 21st... Sunshine and. Library Visit.

 Until I decide what to do about images here...we'll go without.  I doubt more than 5 to 8 people come here to read my boring posts....and most are relatives who already know I am "difficult".  but really I fit better in the definition of the word "crabby".  Negative is also one they use when talking about me.

So the SUN is shining here in Maine...and the leaves of plants outside my windows are sparkling with what looks like morning rain.   thank you!!!! Water is even dripping off the south facing roof.  

My Library Bag is filled with books I didn't like or didn't want to read.  Which is why I am reading a book out of my Book Cupboard.  "A Long Time Gone"...it feels familiar so I might not finish reading it. There was an argument about an airport that I recalled....and then switched over to FOOTBALL. Patriots did a very good job. 

I resent the overuse of the word "great".. I stop reading a book if it's used too many times as a descriptive ... on one page.

"She's great"....what does that even tell you about a person?????

I actually have stopped watching programs where the word is used for everything...and in books? I stop reading.... older books don't use the word as much...newer ones can't STOP using the word.

What was the most interesting about my book- inside the front over is a name......of the original owner of this book.....a fellow quilter...  She may have actually added a border to my wonderful round robin quilt. 

I wrote somethings about the quilt but....it felt too emotional and personal..   I love the quilt.
