Good Morning....Dressed and ready for breakfast at 10:30 am.... Been up a few hours ruminating on my LIFE.... wondering where that quilt went.

 Pink Dahlia.

The area behind the garage and up close to the new Generator needs weeding...looks like a jungle out there. I pulled all the weeds last year...roots and all...but...they are back.   

I had Past Plans for that area- a nice Herb Garden...  I could walk out on the stone paths with scissors and cut herbs for what ever I was cooking that day......now I have WEEDS and rarely if ever cook anything thought my son keeps reminding me of the SOUP I was going to make.... vegetables with beans.

I watch repeats of the Paris Soccer on FXS. Fox Sports. One of the four digit stations.. Messi. He's famous for a reason.

CSI: Miami was back in the 90's... yesterday......I didn't like the 90's very much.

Today...what will I do today....yesterday Son told me he is not  happy with being asked to go pick up Library Books (or forgotten groceries_) on any day other than Grocery/Library Day.   I understand......for decades Library Day was just that ONE day in the week......not a bunch of days in one week.....problem was books were coming for statewide Libraries....and I wanted to read them in "order".......that's coming to a close... Stephanie  Plum is now in the double digits..... and she's teaming up with Ranger.  My Library has those books...and I ordered a few others....something different.  

Weather here in Maine has been STRANGE..  It can be sunny, dry and warm and then ten minutes later cold, wet and dark.  Right now I need to be turning on lamps..  It's pretty dark in here. and it's been raining......but the sidewalks are bone dry.  Weird.

I got two Old Favorite Books at the Library yesterday.  One that my daughter has been looking to buy me but can't find anywhere..... Looks like a new Library copy....fresh. I also have a brand new Lynn Painter.. If it's not good I'll just revert to an older book of hers....but first- I'll make my oatmeal and put on my socks.   Try the Suduko.   Read the nasty newspaper headlines...cringe......

I slept a long time this morning....Late Start.

 When I used to sew and make things.  I don't believe\ this has ever been top stitched down as yet.. and I don't know where it is...certainly not here..in the house.

I slept till 2 pm.   No excuse for it...

When son thinks I am awake enough we will do Library and Grocery Store.  I changed into a more stylish shirt for the outing...surprised it fits....and my pants are loose also.  I am eating more...

Daily Notes for Thursday May 3rd. The Grass was Cut. The Clouds are rolling in...Rain??????

 I have neither the lawn chairs nor the twisted half dead tree but I do have newly, freshly mowed  green grass....lots of it.  I expect rain at any moment.  Looks like a golf course out there right now.

I am 2/3rds into Four to Score....someone fire bombed Stephanie's apartment and car. She's staying with Morrelli.  Having dinner with his mom and grandmother...  Yikes...

I had my grocery store potstickers for lunch yesterday....might have a grilled cheese with "so many" pickles today with remaining bread and cheese slices......considering the choices tomorrow for grocery shopping and my lunches.  I also have one banana left...for potassium.... 

I need to order Statin's for pick up next Friday.  Count the number of vitamins I have left...might need a new jar.  Low on Tylenol as well.

I have more new images for the blog posts....  I found them back in the treasure trove of old posts...my own.  So many years of posts.  I doubt the photos are mine.

Well....what to do now....socks or no socks?????  House lights on or off?  Re-heat coffee a second time? Watch CSI- Vegas or New York....again?????  Finish reading my book.  The only character I am enjoying this time around is Ranger- Yo.  But that was always the way it went.   I am missing book Five. All the surrounding libraries are ALSO missing book Five.

Daily Notes for Wednesday, May 27th... Sunshine here in Coastal Maine. 76 degrees

 A repeat?   Short on images at the moment.  I deleted the image from the desktop so we won't see this one again.

Wu Peng has one flower this year.  A very nice one.   Almost the same color as the image up top but a bit darker.   For Readers who have been reading for over a decade or two or three- you know how long it took Wu Peng to actually make his first flower. (peony).    He arrived with that name printed on the instruction page.  Wo Peng always makes a lot of leaves.....so I know he is healthy. Just stubborn.

My neck bones are making a cracking sound when I turn my head or move my head up and down.

I imagined hearing the Lawn Guys.....I was wrong.  I think the noise I hear is the fridge doing things....

I don't have much more to type-   I have the remainder of the bag of paper to shred.   Yesterday it was sale contracts for houses I lived in decades ago.  Pretty soon I'll uncover my college quarterly grade reports. I already shredded the German House contracts.   Marianna and the office group in Frankfurt.....I missed you so much while doing that....tears came to my eyes......in waves,

It's going to be that sort of day....good memories...such good memories.  Christopher mentioned he missed Frau Loes...who came to clean every Wednesday.  And never moved any of HIS things even though she dusted under them.... both of us would love having her here in Maine.  We have dust. Lots of it.

Well, still no sign of the Lawn guys.... 

I'm working my way thru Three to Get Deadly---- Stephanie's Mom made Spice Cake.. (which means I NOW want spice cake) Mom..gave most of the cake to Joe to take home with him.... He was eating cake when Stephanie came home to find him in her apartment...well, after ALL the shooting in the parking lot. The Senior Citizens living there all have guns. Stephanie is wanted for murder and Ranger said helping her was a Hard NO..... Lula even said NO and she loves packing a gun..   Joe said Hell, No.   Get Deadly a good title.  I don't recall who is trying to shoot her......I was concentrating on the Spice Cake.
