So, I
have a question….what makes dahlias commit suicide??? I come out to the kitchen and a perfectly
lovely blossom has hurled itself right off of the top of the stem…..certainly
looks like a suicide to me!
Anyway,
I felt marginally better on Sunday morning (6/22) and put together blueberry
pancakes
 |
| yes, these are the leftovers that Michael will eat later in the week! |
while Michael was out walking the dog.
I spent 2 hours getting my first vacation blog post done (between
fleshing out my notes and getting all of the pictures…it just took a long
time!) I spent a good part of the
afternoon getting my long arm loaded for more dog beds and had a quick visit from
Jan and Walt, who wanted to check out our watering system. By late afternoon I was beat…Michael and I
had leftover Chinese for dinner and did a fast grocery shopping trip after. I had ZERO energy after that and just
collapsed until bed.

Michael
was up at 6 AM on Monday (6/23) and left before 8 for golf at Springfield…..he
was very happy to come home at 2 PM with 3 birdies and an 83. I didn’t get up until 9…I really seemed to
need that extra sleep. I started on
antibiotics late yesterday and they seem to really be making a difference…even
though I was tired most of the day…no sore throat and no stuffiness (even
though I still sound like it). The 'mother of the bride' from the Saturday wedding brought over a GORGEOUS vase of the flowers from the wedding:
We played
bocce at 7 (our last for the season) in 90 degree heat and I think everyone was
glad to get back to their air conditioning.
We didn’t end the season in last place….but we were pretty darn close J.
We were both tired, so we just watched TV for an hour and I got to knit
a bit before bed.
*************************************************
We
were both up early on Tuesday (6/24) and Michael left before 8 AM to get about
a bazillion errands done. I was going to
ride my bike to the library, but it started to rain just before 9, so that idea
was shelved. I had breakfast and read
my book for a bit (still don’t have my normal level of energy back) and finally
around 10:30 headed to the studio to work on more tumbling blocks. My fabric came just after we got home from
vacation, so now I can make more green and purple blocks J.
Around 1 I got cleaned up and headed out to the library, and then on to
a volunteer meeting. We don’t have
anyone experienced to run the drive in July….so I will be running it. I got home after 3 and just had time to type
up and send out minutes of the meeting when it was time to leave with Michael
(who had been paying bills/watching golf/ and apparently keeping Cookie warm):
We met with someone from the computer club who helped us to get our new tablet up and running a bit more than we have been able to do ourselves. We got home after 5, and even though originally Michael had planned to go out to the movies….we were both feeling REALLY beat…so he made tortellini’s and sauce for dinner and then eventually popcorn to eat while we binge watched MURDER IN THE FIRST.
mmmmmm..... blueberry pancakes !!!!
