Daily Notes for Monday September 7th. Sunshine and 66 degrees at 10:16.

 Canadian Bees. Will they be allowed to cross the border into Maine?????? To pollinate the blueberries?

The Wine Project went no where...but could be reconsidered as the year ends....or next year. We needed the counter space for pizza making...it was a Sunday after all.

No Library today.  Son mentioned it being closed...for some reason.....well, I discovered today is Labor Day.  It's right here on the desk calendar.  (under the keyboard).

I did pull the Alligator/SWAMP book from the bookcase. But didn't start reading it. Yet.  I got entangled with the New Foundland Police Procedural (Hudson and Rex) on the Happy Cable Channel (1426?).  With the interchangeable lead male characters.  The Dog is the same Dog.????  NO,

Well, in one RECENT episode they actually had 5 dogs...all identical.  So I imagine there have always been 5 dogs. Each with a different set of skills. All of them named REX.  Yesterday's REX climbed  on the roof of a house and thru an open window and took down the bad guy.  Even though it's all nice and happy..they do have dead bodies, guns etc.  Blue Skies had some violence as well...same channel. People rarely if ever kiss...

I noticed we have an abundance of food selections in the fridge ..Pizza, Grilled Cheese  and Hot Dogs,.  I requested hot dogs as I do enjoy them very much in the Summer Months.  And today IS a Holiday..... but usually I love a Grilled Cheese with so MANY pickles.  

Well, that's about it for news.  The couch is preparing itself for me to spend the day.  I did watch Arsenal Soccer yesterday...one yellow card after another. No one got a red card- means they get ejected from the game.  There might be a monetary punishment as well.  But they all make tons of money. Millions in the three digits.  Lovely hair styles.  The Soccer Rom Com's I have found to read.... laughing.  Might pull one of them off the shelf for today.  I'm sure a match is on the telly today...or recorded in the TiVo.

Daily Notes- Sunday September 6th. Sunshine and 68 degrees

 Working on the Death Cleaning.  There was a two year or more pause in the process (of getting rid of all husband's things) but now I feel like clearing out the living room and tv room.  Considering what to do with the second couch.  I could swap seat cushions between the two and give my butt a "treat"??????  Sounds like a fantastic idea.

Daughter says there are MORE moving boxes for Winter Sorting . An endless number of boxes.

Before the Wine....I sorted out my area of the dining table...unfinished Suduko  puzzles and bill envelopes and cruise invites.  Are now set to be shredded.  And checked before hitting the shred part in case I made a mistake.  I tend toward mistake making..... all the bills I found had been paid...I write paid and the check number and the date on the part I keep for my records.  Always have done. Always will.

I had a good handful of unfinished sudoko puzzles from the morning newspaper..  They are now in the recycling bin.  I will never be able to finish them....

Bottles of Wine...some from when I lived in Germany...some very recent (last 10 years)...I've asked Son to open and dump the wine and recycle the bottles.  If not....I'll put them back in the cabinet.   More "cleaning" of the living room needs doing..  Inspired by the removal of the Chimney Squirrels.

The intermittent cleaning serves to settle my nerves...you would think it would be the opposite but...it feels good to get rid of things I KNOW I will never need. Again.

I'm going to move the wine to a better spot...it's Sunday and nothing gets done around here on Sunday.

Daily Notes for Saturday, September 15th. Sunshine.

 Unknown artist and Maine in the Fall.

Well....it's been an eventless month so far.   Daughter thought she purchased a Viking book for me to read at a book sale....instead it is a futuristic 8 foot tall Alien Visiting Earth book.  The Viking would have brought a 12 foot long weapon.   The Alien has someone on the space ship talking to him via something or other.--an implant I guess   AND...I've read it before... It's not the author's best work.

My daily dose of Newfoundland detective work has circled back to the first episodes- ones I have never seen.  So that's good.  Hudson and Rex.  If you are interested in site-seeing Coastal Newfoundland from your couch..... I have this comment...the later episodes are more sophisticated and first season is a bit off.  

The News isn't fit to read....a gold "plated" coin with "he who will not be named" on the face.  How much longer do we have to put up with ?????  Lake America.  No vaccines... ICE.  They are building one of those prison boxes ...it sounded like here in Maine.  Perhaps arresting people from Florida coming back to Maine with dark suntans???????

Well, I plan to dig around and find something to read....Saturday Cooking shows are being recorded. 

Life goes on.........

Daily Notes for Friday September 4th. Sunshine here in Maine- would like RAIN.

 At some point in Time I will take actual pictures of things here in my house....but not today.  I have a feeling I may have forgotten how to do the picture transfer thing....

If you don't Use it...you Lose it.   Like with my sewing machine... which I haven't used....in possibly a year or more. Who am I kidding???? several years now.

Today is Grocery Shopping Day....my jam packed Library Bag seems to have alerted my Son to ME thinking I was going to the Library today...I was NOT I was just being disappointed in my book selections. I haven't a clue as to why I added most of those books to the bag.....some vintage Jude Deveraux were Book Club books with the tiniest print ever....daughter got me a bag full at the Library Book Store (once) where they sell donated books....print was half the size of this print. and Jude was not up to speed as yet with  her book writing.  So AWFUL!!!!!  I asked her to return them.

My neck bones are snapping and cracking.... Arnica takes care of it.

I added another row of strips to one of my squares and then ironed it flat.  Noticed it's not actually  "square".  Ironed it flat anyway.  Additional strips will straighten things out.

Lots of cars parked across the road.... excitement.  Yep...that's all the excitement we have around here- parked cars all up and down the street.
