It Must Be Cooler...Somewhere?

With the promise of cooler temperatures we both looked forward to Saturday.  Jim had plans to do maintenance on the truck while I just looked forward to less heat.  Forecast was for upper 80's.  

I slept later than normal for me arising just before 0700.  Jim has decided to set his alarm for 0800.  The past week the alarm would go off at seven, he'd get up, shut it off and return to bed.  He's always required more sleep than any human should need.

Red beans and rice for our mid day meal.  I did laundry, fixed the meal and did the dishes...twice!

Handmade cards because:

No one displays an email on the mantle

or shows off a tweet on the fridge

or saves a Facebook post in a box of treasures

For the year of 2019 I've challenged myself to 500 cards think I can do it?

23 September 2019 212 cards

These cards are for the September OSW Template.  The paper is Stampin' Up! but the gold background shape is a place card and I just put stickers on it.  Also used some Nuvo Drops.  Just wanted to make some Autumn cards because It's cooler somewhere, Right?

Of course Sunday is football day!  Unfortunately we didn't get the Saints game (we are in Texas) but in fine fashion they won.  Drew Brees, quarterback will be out for a few weeks and the team did him proud.  And I'm sure the fans loved it.  I know I did!

We did watch the Texans and Chargers.  That was an exciting game!  Both teams wanted to win and worked hard to make it so.

Jim putzed around with maintenance on the truck both Saturday and Sunday.  Something to do with a filter being washed several times and degreasing the engine.  He finished that task and the truck started...

Monday morning and he's outside washing it.....again!  Seems like he did this not to long ago.  Isn't it grand that cooler temperatures are with us?  It should find him outside more.

Sonsearae and Chris are off on a Disney Cruise.  Celebrating their anniversary and having a ball no doubt.  

All is right in our world

Little Bit of this Little bit of that

Last Sunday was chilly!  Upper 40's when I got up.  The skies did clear some but the sun mostly came and went.  We watched some football and Netflix.  Took Boo for a short walk, even he was reluctant to stay out  in the cold weather.  We had BLT'S for dinner because we had apple pie with our coffee and we just didn't get hungry!  Saints finally won their first game and Drew Brees passed Johnny Unitas' record of career passes.  We slept with the comforter....ahhh warmth...

Monday I was up at 0700 and it was a bit 'warmer' with a temperature of 50....lot's of clouds.  My phone battery was dead...does this happen to you?  My phone had a full charge when I went to bed but overnight the battery was drained...and it was turned off!

We decided to stay another week so Jim emptied the black tank into the blue boy and went to the dump station.  While near the office he paid for another week.  This campground is very peaceful and we like it here.  Willow Beach COE park outside of Little Rock in case you've forgotten.  While I was doing some dishes I noticed a bird swoop down into the water and I couldn't quite make out what it was.  Got out my binoculars and the bird turned out to be an Osprey.  While I was watching he decided to take a bath.  Really neat to see!  If I had a different lens I could have taken pictures but the Nikon doesn't zoom out that far.

With our afternoon coffee we finished off the apple pie.  It sure was good.  I picked up some bottled pie mix while in Amish Country.  Just pour into shell and bake....YUM

Jim grilled our dinner, pork loin for him, onions and zucchini for us and I had some re-fried beans.  We watched Bones, some DWTS and Castle

Tuesday I was up around 0700 and there was some fog on the lake.  It's quite pretty.  We believe the geese we're seeing are Canadian Geese and we saw a gazillion of the fly over today.  We made a run to Walmart.  Dinner was Tortellini soup...real easy to make.  about three cups of broth, a package of tortellini and a bag of spinach.  Toss all this together and when the tortellini are cooked, you eat it.  Some good Italian bread and you have dinner.  It was an NCIS night on TV


I guess the front is passing.  Wednesday was not as cold when I got up.  Matter of fact we both found the comforter to warm for sleeping so it's back to the quilt tonight.  The day warmed up to the middle 70's.  Jim washed all the outside windows as they were spotted from the rain we had.  I baked some cookies while Jim napped and we had our coffee outside

Red beans and rice for dinner

Just some relaxing days inside mostly because neither one of us like cold weather
