S hot but beautiful morning and most of the afternoon. We just got a thunderstorm so that helped to cool it off a bit. It has gone from 90 degrees to 87 so that is a nice drop. I do believe we will be getting a bit more rain. the flowers, grass and trees love it.

Today I have been busy working on my cell phone and pictures. The phone decided to take all the ones I had in the cloud and put them back on the phone, this phones pictures plus ones from 2020. I now need to go through and delete a whole bunch of stuff. I have instructions hoe to build a bookcase, recipeis that I sent to, I think, my granddaughter, all sorts of things besides pictures, and a lot of them aren’t ones I need to keep, like a picture of a product I wanted to remember to get at the store, in 2020.

The rain is back. We need it, or at least the flowers need it. I am supposed to go to Crafts tonight but if it is raining I wont go. I hate driving in the rain. I think it is mostly turning on to the Turnpike. there are limbs tht sort of block the view when trying to get on. that is hard enough in dry weather much less in the rain.

Yesterday it was HOT!! I had a 2:30 p.m. doctor appointment so went. found a decent parking spot but the syn was hot so the car was really hot when I got back in an hour later. i decided to come straight home rather then go find a mailing tube for Tina. I did, hit every red light along the way. finally got home, grabbed a bottle of cold water and crashed in the recliner. Tina got home and was sweet enough to fix dinner. I was very thankful as both shoulders were bothering me a bit since I had shots in them at the doctor’s office. I believe shots are much preferred to surgery as long as they work. I have full use of both arms even though both are pretty much bone on bone. I am fine today.

Tina made a kabasa stir fry for dinner last night. It was really good. We have enough for diner tonight also. That leaves tomorrow night and I am thinking fish sticks. I try for fish at least once a week, and I prefer salmon. Tina prefers albacore and probably once a month. So we can have fish sticks, (cod), and I don’t know what to go with it. Maybe tater tots and a veggie. She’ll probably call and ask if she should bring something home for dinner?. I’ll answer that with P.F Chang’s, which is what we call Panda Express in this town.

From Wah’s House Hold Hint’s book: ” The Six mistakes of man! The great Roman Philosopher Cicero said some 2000 years ago: that the six most mistakes of man were:: 1. The delusion that personal gain is made by crushing others. 2: The tendency to worry about things. 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it. 4. Refusing to set aside any and all trivial preferences. 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study. 6. Attempting to compel the other person to believe and live as we do.” Not too bad, I am thinking.

Have a great rest of your Wednesday. Make it a relaxing, productive, cheerful, and fun day.

Blessings!
