Wednesday and…

I am too P**ped to to pop.  http://usads.ms11.net/shanehill.html    answer # 9 at this link.  In plain English, I am worn out.

I was up this morning at 6 AM.  I picked up my daughter shortly after 7 and we went to Menards and Walmart where I purchased a new shower curtain and bubbly mat for the tub.  Then back home where we had tea and a doughnut that was decorated so prettily with white frosting and sprinkled with red white and blue sugar.  Dontcha just love the 4th of July??  I do!!  I LOVE America with all of its faults!  And what could be nicer than a doughnut with red white and blue sprinkles.  I tell you, it just doesn’t get any better than that.

Then, getting down to business.  We, mostly my daughter climbing around, cleaned the bathroom, walls and all and put up the new shower curtain.  Then we moved everything out of the utility room which was no small chore.  My daughter proceeded to clean the walls in there and mop the floor.  She helped me unpack a couple of plastic tubs that I had never unpacked from when I moved here 2 years  ago.  I found 4 small photo albums that I need to go through and get the pics on the computer.  We ended up with 3 boxes and 2 sacks full of stuff for Goodwill.

After dropping the stuff off at Goodwill we stopped at one of the McDonalds  which was next door.  Turns out we should have gone to the other Mickey Ds which is closer to my house.  There must have been 50 or so middle school age kids from a church group that were being treated to a lunch there.  It was a problem ordering our lunch because of all of the noise.  Don’t kids that age make a lot of noise?  I don’t mind the noise.  Those were happy kids.  I repeat again, I LOVE America!  Better those kids be involved with a church group than out wandering around getting into trouble.

So that has been my day so far.  I still have quite a bit of stuff to put away and Y&R has been recorded for me to watch later.  Actually it has been a really good day for me.
Stay safe and be happy!!

  3. Wow, you have had a really busy day. Sounds like you have accomplished a lot. I so agree with you about this nation! I LOVE America! Sure, it has problems, but is still the best country in the world! So great that your daughter lives close and can help you with projects. You must have a great relationship! Thanks for this post.

  4. Even 50 church-going good kids make a lot of noise....even if they are trying to be relatively quiet! 50 of anything is noisy....even 50 seniors on a tour bus trying to order at McD's....not a quiet, relaxed lunch for any age. lol

    You must have the best of all daughters for her to come and help move everything in your utility room and clean. You are very blessed. I know, because as much as I love my mother, and I live right here in the same town, I have never done anything like that for her. I am ashamed.

  6. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to get projects like that done? My daughter helps me when she is here, but she lives in Minnesota, so won't be here again until Sept.

    Wish I had a doughnut right now. My husband is opposed to anything sweet. So I don't bring much home. But I have fun when out with a friend.:0)

    Have a good rest of the week too. BGB

    Not a bad day here, actually, with several projects accomplished. It is a good feeling to have some chores completed.

  13. I was in the middle of cleaning up at home interupted by my vacation and my injury. I'm doing ok but I'm getting cabin fever so I am going to go out for a spell. The weather is getting better, thankfully, and I need some fresh air.

  14. Hello Neighbor! It IS nice to meet someone from Illinois. Where are you located at? I am in Evergreen Park, just outside Chicago.

    Your plants are looking wonderful and I enjoyed hearing about your day, shopping and doing projects with your daughter. Mine is coming by today so we can go out and buy more flowers. I got a late start this year!

    Thanks so much for coming by, it was lovely to meet you. You have a wonderful blog!

    XO,
    Jane

  18. Such a nice day that was. Do you think we'll ever get through all the photos. Kids and noise just seem to go together. Don't you love them. We do have a great country here.
