Libraries

Friday around here is bed day.  I stripped the bed and washed the sheets then put them back on the bed.  Not a difficult chore, but king size sheets in an apartment size washer just twist themselves into knots.  So I do one at a time.  I also wash in hot water so it’s a delicate balance between dishes and bedding!  Since Boo is house trained I also wash pads in hot water each morning.  So it’s pads, then a load of clothing in cold water and I do dishes at this time.  Then I can start on the bedding.

Jim has been busy cleaning the air conditioning vents.  He put reusable filters in them to collect the dust.  They were really dusty!  While doing this he discovered quite a bit of dust so he spent some time dusting, especially higher spots.

Are you thinking about moving? Perhaps to another state?  Our friends Anne and Scotty are selling their land in Vermont.  Not only is the area lovely but they’ve also built on it.  But rather than tell you about it, check out the listing and see what they’ve done in Fair Haven, Vermont.  We have visited them and for a fact I can tell you the views are stunning especially in autumn.  While we haven’t seen the whole state, the areas we visited are beautiful, with interesting things to do.

Another triple digit day here.  Last time I looked it was 102 degrees at 5 pm.  Air conditioners are working hard to keep us comfortable.  When we have heat like this I water the plants twice a day if they need it.  I have two plumerias, a tomato and three smaller pots with flowers.

Wednesday we went to a puppet show!  It was held at the library and from what we saw most everyone enjoyed The Ugly Duckling performed by The Magic Theater.  There were three principle players and one man on the production side.

This young lady played the ugly duckling.  An interesting note is that they interspersed Spanish into the dialog

We ended our day with Foyles War and a Murdoch Mystery.  Both  courtesy of the library.  Do you utilize your local library?  You should check it out.  There's a whole world of possibilities to be gained by making a visit

All is right in our world

Housework!

It was chilly again last night. Mid 40's and I slept very well. I didn't get up until 0845! Needless to say I woke Jim immediately. We both spent time on our computers and I had breakfast. I don't recall seeing Jim have anything.

After breakfast we got busy, Jim did dishes and I stripped the bed and started doing laundry. Because the machines are small it can take awhile to get the sheets washed and dried. I also did two other loads for a total of 4. It was a good day for it because it was chilly outside and then the afternoon deteriorated into drizzly rain.

I made some biscotti which warmed up the house and made it smell real nice. I cleaned up the mess I made. Jim dusted and vacuumed the living room. Boo loved that! :)

After lunch Jim did the dishes again, what a guy! I think I'll keep him. He did try to play some golf but as I said the weather got worse so he didn't stay outside very long.

Here at Oasis we're at the end of a row and we get to see most all the rigs that come and go. It's quite interesting to see all the makes and models. I have a question for all you rv'ers, when you travel do you have your shades up or down? I've always put ours down but I'm not sure why.

The rain did pass and the afternoon warmed up to 60 or so. The sun even came out for awhile. I walked Boo and we both had a nice stroll.

Dinner was shrimp scampi and a salad. We also enjoyed a glass of white wine. While I was still sipping mine Jim did the dishes......thank you honey, I love you!

We're watching CSI, we also watched Flash Forward but I didn't care for it and showered. We had a beautiful sunset and I think tomorrow is supposed to be warmer.
