OYB!

This morning, I got to my car and although the carabiner was attached to my belt loop, the key ring was gone! That’s not zesty. Checked the bed first, then pants, then car, then my recliner chair, and EUREKA my hand felt glasses.

I pulled them up and they were the ones that Kathy has been missing for weeks if not months!
Then I checked the other side and found my key ring. Amen!
Just a few minutes late for when I usually get there, still early.

It has really been raining! We had 3.5″ yesterday.

Penelope and I ate fried eggs and toast. Everly went for Special K cereal.

There was a time, before that pandemic that I wouldn’t know how to fry ad egg. Or just cook in general.
I actually had two Walmart orders today. Normally, their system lets it add on to the previous order. Today, I had to start a separate list. No big deal. I just let the guys at Walmart know to look for two orders.

While they play, I study Spanish. I do a lot of things out loud. They don’t seem to mind it.

I set up a little play station for the girls in our car porch.

Blew the area before we left on Safari.

I put the bike rack back on my car. The rear lift gate doesn’t work well anyway. I was planning on putting a new bike for Penelope on it. Usually, the Perimeter Goodwill has quite a selection of bikes and toys. Today, hardly anything. I was really shocked.
Mileage log. Getting back to normal, slowly.

Cloudy and rainy all day long. Sometimes, it was really coming down!

We went to Goodwill first. It was quite a drive and the girls were very good.
We did find a couple of “soft” toys and a two “hard toys.” Even THAT distinction has to be taken account when working with the girls.

Then to Plaza Fiesta! Man! it’s been a long time since we’ve gone through that! We were hoping the big inside playground would be open. Alas, no.

Went for cupcakes and chocolate cake. One of the best slices of Hershey’s chocolate cake I’ve ever had. The girls enjoyed their treats, too.

We got a couple of books at the walk in library at Plaza Fiesta.

Lots of photo ops.

Amazon delivered the new sound system today. Our old PA wasn’t working properly. Kept shorting out the main volume knob. This new one cost only $150 and should really help the ministry. I always follow Amazon reviews.

I really love all this PA stuff.
Amazon also delivered my new shoes! I get a new pair about every two years. The tread gets worn smooth and then they’re a slipping hazard. My old pair will serve as my biking and yard work shoes. I was amazed at how well I kept my old pair looking. I regularly scrubbed them with Ajax and kept them white. But not like this!

This is actually a learning time clock. If you push it’s left foot, it’ll tell you the time. Everly picked it out.

Got the groceries.

Released a new edition of Verbal Surgery “Attention Intention.” It’s an instant classic!

I have this little joker that I put on my Mac to remind me that today Verbal Surgery is due.
