A Whole Bunch Of Stuff


Huge surprise for Mothers Day,
thanks to Ben and Helene.
A new tv with Roku and lots of bells 
and whistles. It took some doing on my 
part to get it installed along with 
the sound bar I already had, but I DID IT!

I  know many of you have mega tvs
 but to me this is mega and just fits.

Old tv ( I think Hannah was in HS when I bought)
was so heavy- that may have been hardest part.
It has only made it to the garage so far.

I also got an enormous dinner, a favorite,  
via cheesecake factory
 from Hannah which lasted
 me three meals and 
included the most 
amazing brussel sprout appetizer.
Over the next couple days I got more goodies
in the mail.
I've got great kids.

Walter had his first bath yesterday.
At first I thought it was going to be big trouble,
but he settled down fairly quickly.
He's now fluffy and clean.



He needed a bath because he has been 
helping me get a vegetable garden going.
I am starting so late but there 
are things I can do now and then ramp up 
in the fall.

I found a great raised DIY planter on sale.
A whole passel of screws but easy to do.


It even came with the black liner.
So today Walter and I spent hours getting it ready and 
planting some tomatoes I ordered on line
in an unused area of the yard. 




Bought this paint by number painting to keep 
me distracted and I got a nice supply of books 
from blogger friend Jane- you all know her
as Blondie.  Thank you Jane!

I really, really miss the library
 and she was so kind to send me some 
of hers to read. During the sale in Oct, I 
donated 400 to my library
 fearing a move was imminent. hmmm?

 A Place To Call Home has ended,
I'm caught up on Dead To Me and Maisel.
Binged The Ranch on Netflix
Not highbrow by any means, but I liked it.

Sunday night is now my tv night
Call the Midwife
Killing Eve
Run

and now I'm watching on a cool modern tv.

Baked some oatmeal cookies last night.


Oh yeah,  he's a runner and a thief.

Stay safe, stay home as much as possible
and stay well.
