Purging Update

 As soon as the Old Man and I get back from our hair cuts this morning, my plan for the day is to sort through my ton of t-shirts and see which ones I want to keep, and them fold them and put them in a dresser drawer.  Then I have a task I am looking forward to - I bought a show organizer that you hang from your closet rack.  I can't wait to put all of my Brooks tennis shoes in there.  It's the little things that make me happy.

Back At It Again

I am confessing I lost my momentum on my purging in my closet and drawers, but I was back it after lunch today.  I got another bag of clothes for the homeless ministry, and another bag of "stuff" that I thought I would need, which will go out in the garbage can.

I Love Our Neighbors

 I love our caring and sharing neighbors.  We were watching TV after supper, and I saw Neighbor Meghan drop off a bag of something on the back porch ramp.  I went out to get it, and was happy to see the bag was full of red and green tomatoes.  It reminded me of the mmany, many bags of tomatoes that the 'Rents would take to church to give to our friends.

Update From The Compound

I was in and out of the dermotologist today in about 20 minutes.  I'm not going to try to type out what the pathology said - suffice to say that all is pretty well.  The doctor said the skin spots have to do with circulation so he said to wear compression socks during the day.  A hopeful easy fix.

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 When I went out this morning to bring in the garbage can and get the newspaper, it was actually very pleasant outside - not heavy with humidity like it has been early morning for the last week and a half. .  Highs of upper 80s seems cool compared to what we've had recently.

Something You Don't See Every Day

 This morning, I went to get some awesome custard filled Long Johns from our favorite local donut shop, and as I was pulling into the shopping center parking lot, I for sure saw something that you don't see every day at 8:30 in the morning.  Across from the shopping center entrance is Cracker Barrel.  I had to do a double take when I saw a lot of vacant parking spaces.  I'd venture to say the parking lot for a normally busy Sunday morning was about 2/3 filled.  That is definitely something you don't see every day.

Ohio Valley Weather Update

As I post this, the temp here is 94 degrees, with a feels like heat index of 118.  I am still thankful for our Trane a/c still going good.  There's not much relief in sight, unfortunately.
