Bank! Flytraps! Mom! Harry! 7.18.22

My hat from England has the Saint George’s Cross on it. I looked up some information about the symbol. The Red Cross on a white background was used during the Crusades.

Mailed in the questionnaire for Kathy’s jury summons.

OYB!

PNC bank recently told me that they were not going to be dealing with the Earn Up third party bill payment company. Now I’m paying my mortgage directly to PNC. I had to go back to the bank to change something and to make sure that the account for Earn Up had been canceled. Glad I did that because it hadn’t been done by the bank.

I got a couple of new forks from my Mom when I was in Texas. They’re her wedding silver. I have two forks and one spoon which is plenty. I don’t keep the sharp knives in that mug.

EspaƱol!

There are seven books in the Harry Potter series. Each of them is around 25 hours long. Today I finished the seventh book for the second time! That’s around 350 hours of listening in Spanish. I’m using it as my baseline for listening comprehension. I’m constantly adding to my knowledge base and understanding more.

I’m starting back over with book 1.

A little cooler today. Amen.

Had a good talk with my Mom. Always a blessing.

I’ve been growing Venus flytraps for over fifty years. This year I pollinated the flowers and collected the seeds. They are super tiny! I planted them among the other carnivorous plants in my gardens, specially the sundews. I hope one day I’ll see super tiny little flytraps!

These are the dried flowers and seed pods. The seeds are smaller than a grain of sand.

We got the insurance for the mission at Azalea squared away.

Kathy dropped her phone a few days ago. Fortunately, I had a glass screen protector on it! I swapped the old one out for a new one this afternoon.

The screen on her iPhone would have looked like this! That would have cost $100 to fix. I can buy two protectors for $8!

Picked up my groceries.

I refilled my bags of food for the birds and raccoons.

Kathy and I are taking the grandgirls to Chattanooga next weekend! That should be a really fun trip! We are spending more money than we normally would so it’s nice for the girls and has a pool.
