Good morning everyone
We had a nice day yesterday. Went out for a nice early dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
We liked the floor lamps and ordered 2 of them along with the recommended bulbs. We should be able to pick them up next week. I don’t like them as much as what we have and still upset to throw away a lamp because can’t get a light bulb for it. They are about 15 years old or more and still look wonderful.
Today I am placing and picking up a grocery order. Rain doesn’t start until around 5pm.

Good morning. Mar, what did you have at the Mexican restaurant. Working on cleaning my bedroom. Stripped the bed and have the bathroom done. Showered and washed my hair this morning. Think I'll try vacuuming. Lynda keeps tells me she's going to give me one of her robo vacuums but so far haven't seen it.
Think I'll go to ACE hardware after while and get some keys made. I want Lynda and Ed to have one and also Pat. I have one on my key chain and my friends that take care of Ozzie when I'm gone have one.
Got my grocery order yesterday and guess I had forgotten to order the mild sausage for the baked spaghetti. Might go and get that too when I'm out. It's so nice here today. Suppose to get up to 77 this afternoon. Way above normal for this time of the year. We could use a good soaking rain and that might come on Tuesday.
Putting my summer sheets on my bed today. Have a good day.

Sorry about your floor lamps, Mar. Did you check on line? Guess if they are no longer being made they just won't be available anymore. Know there are places that have "old" things but guess that wouldn't help in future anyway. What do your lamps look like? I have only ever had those lamps with the 3 lights that you can bend to get the light where you want them and never did like them. I know I have given mine to other people that loved them. Just regular bulbs in them/
the weather has changed a bit. I can say no rain today. A little blue sky, but still lot of dark clouds. 47° and the sun is nice when it comes out now and then but wind is super cold. Boy I have some areas that are going to be a pain to mow and clean up. An area between the porch deck and the house where you can't get the mower in and he uses a push mower or the weed eater but right now I can't tell where the Black eyed Susans are or the one Hosta. That one I don't care about it just keeps coming up no matter how much I dig out. I guess I may have to get in there with my trimmers later on when I can tell what is what.
Not sure about the area of flooding we get in town as the road is closed and probably will be for awhile, it is on the edge of the river and not really part of town and only a few houses in there. Some did get their kayaks out!! I would not live there for free!!! But they stay .
Years ago My aunt lived in flood zone in the town I grew up in as a kid----I remember her marks on the living room wall where the water level had been over the years. She had put the dates on those areas. Had 10 kids and they didn't seem to mind. Boy I hated going there to visit.!! Years later they put in a huge dam and she sold her house for big bucks and there is now a big motel in that area. By then most of the kids were married and gone from that little house. She was the most easy going person I have ever known. funny and always seemed to be in a good mood. Now when the weather gets bad and flooding I think of her.

Too bad you cannot send rain the Betty!
lightbulbs these days are a mystery.
Boy it is hard to use the pneumatic tube at drive up bank teller when your arm objects!
Strange experience at Safeway this morning.horrible diaper smell as I approached checkout area. Saw no babies. Got in line and there wa a very thin, tall man in a track suit with one sneaker in his hand, barefoot on the side. He waited patiently and I assumed he was with the woman in front of me. Then the stench hit. Gag. My stuff was in the beltway.. I backed up . The lady in front of him was leaving.he stared at the cashier, then left. When I got outside, he was not with the lady. He was standing at the side of the traffic way in the parking lot holding his sneaker staring at a tree trunk. He seemed lost. I did not want to approach him. I got home in less than ten minutes and called police in case there was a lost mentally disabled person. No, but they would check him. Hope all went well.
got to set out some ant bait in the yard with heavy pot over it to keep Minni from it. It is that time when ant hills show up.
Then it it just raising the hem on my caftans and fixing a pillow case.

Lin- not only is the light bulb discontinued it’s not allowed in California. Same with our recessed kitchen lights. We have 7 outlets and 5 bulbs left. When they are gone we will need new fixtures and LED lights which I hate.
Hopefully Covid shot isn’t hurting super bad

Oh no, Lin, so sad. Glad you called Police.
Even the ATM is hard at drive through one as well. My arms are short and get as close as I can and still have to open the door in car Move over on the car seat a little ways to reach out. Can't find a easier way. I do not like to walk up kind and we don't have them here anyway. I did one in Florida and was nervous the whole time. Would not do them if there was anyone near by.

conniej, since we drive SUVs,the drive up ATM and Walgreens window is way below the window. I actually leave space, get out of car between door and car and conduct business through my open window. I have also parked and walked up.

Betty- I had chicken enchiladas suizas with rice and beans. Just now enjoyed the leftovers. Yum. You are doing a lot today. Glad you feel good.
The smoke detector went off and would not shut off. No smoke. Soooo we need to buy a new one. Getting 3. Will replace the other because were bought at same time 6 years ago. Didn’t get the 10 years that said we would get.
Picking up DD#2 tomorrow morning. We go to Vegas on Monday.
DD#2 is going to film another tv show episode the end of May. She is so excited they want her again. Her traveling manager job is totally on board with her doing this. So much fun for her.
Connie- glad no rain today. Yes, I checked online. I saw one bulb on eBay for $150.00. Wow. Stupid to buy it incase it’s damaged. It’s an OttLite bulb. The new lamp is $130.00. I don’t like it as much as the one we have now but it will be ok. We have one on each side of the couch.
