Saturday, June 20th, 2020…… The rains that were predicted for today did
come, But I had decided to get going early on the grass pickup. But first I
headed off to get breakfast and then I went to the lumber yard here in town to
look for some ¼” plywood for the backer on my outside workbench. I got that cut
and stored away for later and then texted my sister that I was out doing the
lawn. We tried something different this time – I lined the truck bed with a
huge tarp and then brought out two smaller ones for the grass.
I paid
$8.50 for what I had which was more than reasonable in my opinion. It sure
saved a ton of time and labor from bagging it up in 10-20 trash bags, which had
to be tossed into either my trash or a bin or two in town. This way it was done
and done!
After that
was done and Penny went back home (thanks Sis!), I came in and rested and then
did some laundry. Sis is having a yard sale after Jody gets here (next week) so
I am thinking about some things I can take over there. I do want to have
friends and family go through Lydia’s clothes to see and get what they want
before I do anything, but I have a bunch of my old clothes that I want to take
over plus some items in the shop that I am no longer using. I will be getting that together soon. I watched the Belmont Stakes and then the
Nascar Xfinity race before watching some of my other taped shows. I made a
turkey sandwich for lunch and some mac and cheese for dinner and then had some
popcorn for ‘dessert’. I wasn’t especially tired from today so I ended up going
to bed after 11:00pm.
Sunday, June 21st, 2020…… Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out
there! Not much on the agenda for me
today. I made a Walmart run and picked up a few things I needed. I heard from
both boys and their families. Nice. I also received a couple of Amazon
deliveries, both from Randy and Maryanne – one for Father’s Day and one for our
anniversary. Thanks, guys!
More races
today. Well, only the stadium motocross finale because Nascar at Talladega
Speedway was rained out today. For us here, the weather was cloudy and overcast
for most of the morning but after noon it cleared up and actually got up into
the mid 80’s. Once it got warmer, of course I had to take butthead outside and
let her run in the sprinklers! Tonight’s dinner was cheese quesadillas, which
was very tasty.
Monday, June 22nd, 2020……
Today would have been our 52nd anniversary. While this is a really emotional
day for me, and I struggle every time I think about us not being together
anymore, I also find I am really happy and grateful when I think about all of
the great years that we had together. A lot of folks can’t say that for
sure!
I made
bacon and eggs for breakfast and then straightened up the house a bit. Then I
headed over to my sister’s house to work on her patio column covers. We had
purchased the wood some time ago and today was a good day to get those cut and
put up.
I had the
old ones to use as a pattern so it went pretty quickly and looks good – ready
for the painters who are coming next month.
I got back home and rested for a while. Penny wanted
to take me to lunch or dinner later but I passed on both and just came home and
rested and relaxed around the house. I have opened the large Costco bacon
package so I decided to use up some more and just fix myself some bacon
sandwiches for dinner. After that, it was tv until bedtime.
