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.

Daily Notes for Thursday September 3rd. Clouds and what looks like RAIN.. Wet sidewalks.

 One of my Favorite Things.... for lunch.  With pickles.

On this cloudy, cool, damp day in Maine....might just fire up the stove and make one of these.  I might even make some "adapted" canned  baked beans....I add stuff....makes plain canned beans into something wonderful.

My lawn has NO CLUE as to what to make of this wet damp day.  Now I know why the lawn guys came earlier in the week.  Prepping the lawn for watering.

My car didn't pass inspection yesterday... A long ago Honda recall and repair wasn't done right and now...and now I need to have what wasn't done right taken care of.  It looks expensive.  But NOT as expensive as a new car would be.  And at my advanced age...new isn't something worth the expense. 

I think my Son scheduled an appointment for the work to be done....it's drivable. And it's the only one of two cars I can get into and out of.... for grocery and library.  And perhaps eventually doctor..

I had to get up and turn on lights....  The bones in my neck are snapping and cracking and making so much noise.  I'm looking forward to hitting publish and making it over to the couch for the remainder of the day. 

I discovered all the books I checked out this week at the library..... have BEEN READ by me in previous decades...and they were NOT GREAT the first time.  Time for a deep dive into the HOME bookcase. One or both bookcases.  I could watch a few more Hudson and Rex episodes.  Or if it's find-able-  Storage Wars. I do not want to watch anything that requires my brain functioning at high capacity..  I sorted cloth scraps yesterday.... nothing needed my attention or a threaded needle.....perhaps there will be more interest on my part today?????  So many tubs full of still folded brand new fabric....and I enjoy using scraps.....

Well, it's 3 days into September and I haven't changed my desk calendar....sigh.

Daily Notes for Wednesday September 2nd. Sunshine here in Maine. 75 degrees

Yesterday's book was Heartbreaker by Julie Garwood.   Same FBI guy as the book with the alligator and black snakes.  An earlier book before Garwood "hit her stride" as they say....I'm giving up on page 83.

I have one more Garwood on the shelf but it seems very old as well. With vintage tiny type.....I have stuff in the bookcase to read.  Killjoy will go into the return bag unopened..

I have three older Jane Green books on the shelf-- Mr Maybe is the one I chose for today..... We'll see if I have outgrown that book as well as the others.  Plenty in the bookcase here at home.  Bet Me is calling my name....and has been but the swampy alligator book..I might just have to read that one out of the bookcase.

Why not????

Son has taken my car to be inspected....he'll do computer stuff while he waits and also have lunch.  The new tires were necessary in order to pass inspection also the Town Tax Sticker.  Maine is an Expensive State.  Lots of stickers.  Coming up soon is the tax I pay to LIVE in my HOUSE..... October. 

Well, I have cooling tea sitting here by my right elbow and the couch waiting behind where I am sitting... I have to choose a book or a TV program and get started....... my cup of tea was double sugared so it's Georgia Sweet Tea and I like it.  Take care...perhaps tomorrow's post will be more interesting.
