Babies getting some screen time.

This was super loud.

Just keep learning. And walking. 3.42 miles to be exact.

Nice chat with my Mom. I always enjoy that.

Went to FBC Doraville to get my newsletters printed. Then folded and stuffed them.

I listened to this podcast in Spanish about three hours today.

Got all the envelopes ready to go. Took them to the Doraville Post Office. The outside mail box didn’t work. Took them inside and the inside mailbox was having problems too! Talked to a couple of the employees about it. I’ve never seen that before in my life. BOTH bad?!

Checked the mail at my office.

I have a team on Saturday. I organized everything I need for The Show and took the stuff upstairs. The Fellowship Hall was booked. Fortunately, the team’s not very big so I can do it in the meeting room right next to my office.

Updated the operating system for my phone this afternoon.

Neither of the cars I have need an emissions check. Both are over twenty five years old. Paid the tax to get the stickers.

A friend of mine in Houston in interested in tigers. I sent him this link. Did you know they are available?

Today I got my three banana plants in the ground. It was a big job. Hope they do ok. They were definitely root bound.

Always learning the finer meanings of words.

The squirrels knocked the birdbath over and broke it. I improvised a solution. I may have to put some silicon caulk in a crack. Don’t know if it will hold water yet.

Cleaned the other bird baths out.

And the hummingbird feeders.

Mixing up the nectar.

Mileage log.

Dog food got delivered. Or should I say “raccoon food?”

I love these little banana plants. They remind me of home. I hope they do well.

Cleaned my bike and checked the air pressure.

Lotta garbage.

I rode my bike 7.97 miles. I was really tired at the end. I pushed myself hard today and got up about two hours earlier than I normally do.

This Ricky guy has been giving me some competition. I’m sure he’s not pleased that I keep coming back strong.

Downloaded the recording I did yesterday onto my Mac Air this evening.

I’m going to sleep early tonight. Whipped.

OYB!

Cleaned the front glass door.

Walked 1.90 miles.

I was sorry I didn’t let the kids borrow my underwater phone case while they’re at the beach. That could’ve been cool.

Went to Goodwill to check on jackets for the girls. Found a couple that might have worked, but there was a HUGE line that I didn’t feel like waiting for.

Ordered groceries.

Gorgeous.

Spanish podcast.

Went to the Post Office to get stamps for the newsletter.

Went to the bank to get help ordering a new debit card. Mine is worn out. One of the ladies helped me do it by using the Bank of America app.

Picked up the groceries. Put them up.

Blew the garage and driveway.

Rinsed off the walls.

Blew the deck.

Interesting.

Research on how to be happy.

OYB!

The kids are having fun at the beach.

According to Duolingo, I read nearly 5,000 of these sentences out loud. That exercise has really increased my pronunciation.

I had a good talk with Anthony. He always cracks me up.

Teehee.

My new favorite podcast.

This game was recommended to me. I got it to play with the girls.

These look interesting to me.

Rode my bike 5.77 miles. I would’ve gone further, but I got cold.

We’ll see if she keeps trying to catch up tomorrow. She’ll have to put the 1,000 points plus my normal amount every day which is around 1,500. Doubt that will happen.

Had a great time with the girlies today!

OYB!

Walked 3.10 miles and studied Spanish.

Good RX worked great at Publix! I also got the supplies for the popsicle party. I was glad I got a chunk of dry ice. That seems to really keep everything frozen.

Listening to a new podcast. More Mexican Spanish.

Chat with my Mom today. We’ve been missing each other the last couple of times.

Beauty day.

Treated my Pink Magnolia at Azalea with the fungicide again. My guess is I’m going to have to do that regularly with this wet, humid weather.

It’s definitely better but you can still see traces of the problem. Kind of a white powder.

Drenched all the surfaces.

Enjoyed eating at Taco Veloz with the salsa verde.

Progress on the condos across the street.

Today was the last day of school. I had a popsicle party for the kids and moms. Everyone loved it. Except for the man who usually sells popsicles to the kids!

Love my girls!

Great to see my buddy Mustak from the old days! He’s doing really well.

Took the grandgirls to Two Bridges Park. They just opened their splash park last weekend. They had fun but said the water was really cold.

We had a good time in the regular part of the park too.

Checked the mail at my office.

Just keep going. It’s all about consistent effort.

I sure have enjoyed my Mac Air! The best part is how it talks to my iPhone!

Little drizzly today.

OYB!

Kathy got her truck repaired! The starter had to be replaced. They also worked on the transmission seal. Cost about $700 in all. Ouch. I’m on a first name basis with all the mechanics there!

Walked 1.72 miles.

Still working on get medicine for Jessi squared away.

I didn’t go into Chamblee today because of Kathy being without a car. Miles covered picking up the girls. I’m planning on having a party for the kids tomorrow since it’s the last day of school. Summer is here!

Still listening to podcasts in Spanish all the time. I discovered a new one that I’m looking forward to hearing soon.

I’m planning on doing a Popsicle party tomorrow for the kids. Got the ice chest cleaned out.

Kathy said she wanted to use my old suitcase to put stuff to go to Goodwill in. I put it on the table for her.

Man, did I work hard today! I dug three holes in preparation for planting my three little banana trees. I first figured out where I wanted them to be.

Dug around the pots to determine where the holes would go.

The hard part. Yow!

I actually worked for over forty-five minutes.

Picked up Kathy from work around 6:00 PM then went to T&G to pick up and pay for her car.

Then went to get the groceries at Walmart.

I got two bags of potting soil to put in the holes where I’m planting the banana trees.

Reset one of my plant timers.

I recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Tiny Picture.” Downloaded it onto my Mac Air this evening.

Ashley contacted us this morning. Everly wasn’t feeling well so she stayed home with her today. I stayed home to take care of K who also isn’t feeling well. Turned out lucky because K’s car is still in the shop. So far they still haven’t been able to figure out why it wouldn’t start Saturday evening and had to be towed. It started for them just fine. Weird.

Great effort last week. Came in second place.

I went over 1,000,000 XP total points today. That’s rare for a person to do. Almost all of those points have been made in the last two years.

We look forward to this.

Español!

OYB!

Felt like it was getting ready to rain all day long. Never did at my house.

I’m thinking I need to plant my banana trees. I think they’re getting root bound. I need to get more soil first. You dig a hole bigger than the pot and line it with good potting soil. That lets the plant adapt to the new soil conditions a little more gradually.

I asked Miles about it to since he’s an arborist.

Walked 1.71 miles.

Had a fun talk with my buddy Anthony.

I called Publix and J’s doctor about her meds. Still haven’t gotten it taken care of.

I contacted RODE about my new microphone for my iPhone. I have to do a firmware update on my mic before it’ll work. I need to have a new cable to interface with the mic and my Mac. Ordered that too. I had to know the model and what OS I was currently using before I talked with RODE about my mic.

Getting these cables is kind of complicated. USB-C to Thunderbolt or USB-4. Male to male adaptor.

Also had to download the RODE Central app onto my Mac Air.

Cleaned all of my birdbaths.

One of my little tea roses is looking fantastic.

Future beauty.

Watered my indoor garden.
