Daily Notes for Monday, March 23rd, Clouds, Snow. Son hopes he shoveled for the last time????

Stealthy.

Well, Son is not a "Happy Camper" after shoveling snow yet again.  Late March and one would hope the snow would transition to Rain by now.  But nothing in 2026 is "as one would expect it to be" especially the Government.

My oatmeal this morning was quite good.....it happens all by itself...being good.  Nothing I did to anticipate a better outcome.  Just oats and water in the microwave for 3 minutes.  Has to be the random amount of oats and the even more random amount of water.  Random should be my middle name....if I had a middle name.  Which I don't...

Watched some "Talking Heads" discuss the "Mess Trump has Made".......and if there is a way out without a huge death toll for our military.  Trump's entire cabinet would have to come down with stomach flu and the trots in order for someone SMART to get us the hell out of this war.  Use up Trump's diapers.

Perhaps that dog up top is also looking for a "way out".

I have my book to finish reading before we go to dinner....down the street.  I also need to wear something green....and will need to iron it before wearing whatever it is.  

I found some more art supplies...in a drawer while looking for something else.  Nice stuff.   Art Supplies tucked away in every drawer and closet.

I still haven't written to Gretchen for a list of things she will have in her new garden.  That big old fenced garden out back of my house is sitting empty and needs a few things....herbs????  New Blueberry bushes?  The ones back there aged out.  Rhubarb never took hold.  Grapes?   Still covering the wooded frame with leaves but stopped making grapes long long ago.  I used the left over ones to make a very very nice blue dye bath.....such a lovely blue.   Well.time to reheat my coffee and get on with reading my book,

 

Daily Notes for Sunday March 22nd. Sunday Pizza is in the line-up. Clouds and Snow Coming Down.

 Winter is holding on with quite the grip.  I see green grass every other day it seems and recently two days in a row.   British Soccer games cheer me up (green turf) and so is the book I am reading again...but with fresh new eyes....I am recovering..I am happier, less angry.  It's a relief to let it all the unhappy stuff go...little by little.

Today is Sunday Pizza.  With some sort of Sport on the TV--- usually, for me it's British Soccer.  Which is on the telly right now as I type...   The crowd is departing the stadium....before the game is over.  Soccer Despair.  My son tells me Soccer is the most popular of all the SPORT.   In the World.  

I like watching with my daughter who played College Soccer...she explains what they do right and what they do wrong.... which helps in my enjoyment of future games...

Storage Wars last evening....I know it's all fakery but it's so darn weird....  

One guy on the pitch on his knees and a good long look at his muscular tattooed thigh.  Usually I just admire their haircuts. For some reason I don't get to see any of the Irish games.  Liverpool.  Son says it might be a licensing agreement.  Oh,   They missed the goal yet again.

We are having dinner out tomorrow down the street....an invite came in the emails... more Corned Beef.

Well, I have coffee to drink, soccer to watch and a book to finish reading.  The Sunday paper was good enough and the Suduko and Jumble puzzles above my pay grade.   As usual.

The one team just got another score and it's being described as an easy, too easy score.  The crowd is SINGING!!!!!!!

Daily Notes for Saturday, March 21st. Clouds in my Coffee.

 Having just read Dee's post...I have tears in my eyes over the loss she is suffering.  Nothing I type will be of any help but her sorrow will be with me today and for quite awhile.

Daily Notes- Friday March 20th.... Sunshine and Melting Snow.

We have enough  snow on the ground to make the reindeer feel at home,......until it all melts.  Love the dots.  Manuel Jiminez again.

Grocery Shopping went  well....before we left Son pulled all the "expired food" out of the pantry and fridge.  I managed to get pickles for my Pickle and Cheese Sandwiches.  I'd forgotten the last two times I had been in the grocery store.  I also have more Oranges for the daily fruit..

I never got around to reading (starting) my book....perhaps today-  I did watch Tracker.   And Antiques Roadshow.

I think I will watch British Soccer today....  and sew a few black with white fabrics into a square.  White dots.- different sized dots....And another pile is white stripes on black.  From the Fabric Stash.

I am going to check the floss storage boxes for another paddle of matching red....but I don't have the labels with the color number anymore.... so matching is going to be by eye.....my eye is still pretty good at color matching.  In another Lifetime I'll write the color number on the white plastic paddle.

That's it...not much happening...I have a (few) nice series set to record on the TiVo.  In addition to the three or four in the recorded section already.  One is about George Washington.  One is about Craft in America. One is Pole to Pole... with Will Smith.  The Craft In America is always enjoyable.  I found a channel deep in the lineup with classic movies from the 40's....maybe even some from the 30's.  That I watched with my grandmother.  Back in the Day,..... 

Walked down to the sewing room and found...in another box of  embroidery floss..three full  paddles of the RIGHT matching red....for sure from the Five and Dime in Town decades ago.  I had little spending money in those early days of owning 2 McDonald's restaurants...but COULD afford some colorful floss. .
