Saturday Update for the Week

 


Hello Out There! I found my exercise chair, it blends with my Ancient Decor
 $9.99 at Habitat Re-Store.
Plus I went shopping for 2 hours. I actually went out 1 hour each, on two days and 2 hours, on a 3rd day. Bob did well while I was gone. The Insurance renew Bob's PT. They have done what they can do and now it is up to us.

 Good news, 2 weeks of  rain,  blue skies and sunshine has Brought Back The Green, and Beau is headed to the grass to lay in the hot sun and roll around upside down.  The rain stopped, none for 5 days. Back to praying for rain.

 A 12 foot limb,  dangling over the driveway since hurricane Milton broke it part way, 2 years ago. Director/Producer Bob calls me, Chainsaw Mama or Lumberjack! Don't fret, I was terrified of the saw. Bob watched and told me, do it this way,that way, wiggle it back and forth. Stop! pull it out. Now do it again. He said, Easy, be Careful, numerous times, and I was.
I hate PAIN!
 
Since I wear trifocal glasses, I ordered this cup which allows me to look down in the cup while pouring and I can clearly see the ounces. It's perfect and I LOVE IT!

bought at Amazon at this LINK 

I  bought a Pioneer Woman 12 oz mug!
current photo as I sipped, and typed this post Friday am.


The pot does 6 to 10 ounces, Bob 10 oz, the Mad one 8 oz.. I control the strength of coffee by the amount of water I add. I love Strong, He does not. The Pot is a Huge Hit! I like my kitchen view as I sit here, and have for 38 years this Oct 13th. 



A Red Ear Turtle, Tommy T. has been in the Safe Haven Duck Pond( algae filled pool) since the 4th of July. I only see him with his head up and swimming, if I peek carefully between the blinds, between 3 and 4. I have never caught him out, but assume he does when there are no dogs or humans around. He refuses to leave, and I can't see him when he dives, to capture and relocate, and he remains for now. I am praying I will see him out of the pool, and will remove him to a real pond in the park.

Tommy Turtle has caused a flurry of me coloring (therapy turtles)ZenColor 




Tommy appeared when Missy and Mister, when the ducks left on July 4th

Hello, It's Saturday, I am HERE with POO

 



No dog, No Hubby, Just Me, Myself and I.
Something new and old, something I had to buy.
Something New, that I did NOT buy.
The story might be long. Careful, I can hear you Sigh.
God sent me Angels, in fact there were Two.
Something I really like, a Freebie that is New!

I will save the best for last. POO stands for a Post about Perfectly Ordinary Objects



EOS, landed on my porch with my Wal-mart Friday AM delivery. Anything they leave, by accident, we are allowed to keep. For myself, it its expensive I take it to the store, but this wonder filled bottle is only $2.50. Its Plant Based Dish Soap.

Cuts grease, easy on skin, no scent (YAY) It is Climate Positive! I love it and will be buying it from now on. 

I was not going to Mention BOB but I just remembered one other thing we got FREE for WM, was Greek Yogurt with berries in the bottom and Bob LOVES it. I have tried to get him to eat yogurt and he always refused. Now that is his evening snack.
Since I mentioned Bob, and to be Fair, here is Beau with great news!
For two weeks we have had RAIN, for 10 days, it was morning showers, now it has changed to evening and we are so happy. We walk at daybreak, we are getting lots of rain and we can still walk at daybreak. The storms are loud and flashy,
LIKE THIS, on Thursday at 3PMStorms here come FAST and Furious and this one put down 3 inches in 1 hour. The Noise was LOUD

We need a new I am a FRETTER! I research until I give myself headaches. I really want a Keurig. I think I want one. For two weeks, I have spent HOURS researching on line. I emailed Blog friend Ginny, because she has one, and she said she loves hers and a few details. I answered with
But What IF I Hate it! Even the cheap ones are expensive. I prayed each day that God would give me the wisdom to know which one to buy.
IF I spend the MONEY, and hate it, I will still Need a Coffee Pot.

Thursday Morning, I went out for a few errands and stopped in Goodwill, since I was next door to look for a straight Kitchen Chair, to use when Bob and I do his sit-down exercise. I use his wheel chair, but it has arms. Our kitchen chairs have rollers and that would be a NO. They don't lock like the wheel chair PLUS they also have arms.

Not a chair, nothing I wanted, and as I turned to leave I landed in the Small Appliances Aisle. Right in front of my face I saw a big fancy Keurig!
While standing there debating if it worked, was it worth the gamble  of 9.99? 
Angel #1, came to me and said, I have that model and its fantastic. She told me all about it and I decided to buy it. She said lets check it out first, I can tell if it works.
She plugged it in, pushed and pulled and said, Oh No, the pod clip is gone, this will not work, see this? its supposed to have a spring and snap shut. This is not good.
Angel # 2, walked towards us and she had in her hand, a Keurig! 


A smaller, more beautiful one. Both Angels tested it, and decided it was a good buy. I said so I will be Gambling 10.00 dollars that it will work and that I will like it, I can handle that.
Angel 1 and Angel 2 said in chorus
IT'S not 10, it''s only $1.49!!!!  When I got to the register, she said, are you registered with us? I said No, but I don't shop much, I will skip it. She said, if you give me your name and phone number, the price of the pot is $1.49, not 9.99.
The 2 angels did not explain I had to register but this girl said, If you come on Thursday, every thing with a yellow sticker in the store, is 1.49. Come the next Thursday every thing that was yellow has a blue sticker and is 50 percent off.
OY VEY! I may turn into the best thrift store shopper I know, Linda of Linda's Journal, who is Queen Of Thrift Store Shopping.
The good news is, it's only 1 mile away.

UPDATE; GOT THE PODS, AND IT WORKS PERFECT . 
.
IT IS THE PERFECT SIZE, FITS UNDER CABINET AND THE LID OPENS.




So now I am praying someone will sit a chair out on the curb! Last month, a house Beau and I walked by has SIX kitchen chairs and a table out at the curb.
I did not know I would need one then.
The Pot Works, I ran water through it, and vinegar and water, but had no PODS.
Will keep you posted, if we like it. PODS coming with WM art delivery
See you Next Week End, I will be popping in to see all of you over the week end.

Did I tell you I have a TURTLE living in the pool?


I have worried and worried if Tommy T, will live, but he has been in there since the 4th of July. I put chemicals in the pool to keep it from causing a mosquito problem. I can't see him to capture him and take him to a real pond, because of the algae. Yes, he can get out, because I researched with AI and made 2 places he can get out.
Also with all the rain, he can get out without the help. its full and running over.

Saturday Update BeauSpeak

 


Mama asked me to host the Saturday Update. 
Good News: This photo is me waiting patiently at 5:05 AM for Mama to start breakfast for 3 at 5:30. We eat early because I walk Mama at 6:30, and today, Ruby will come and walk with us. Ruby text Mama and says, What is the ETA for Beau walking us today..

Bad News
I had 4 hours of puke/poop thing.
Good news is, this is the first one of these for about 2 months.
Good News: I am fine now, and we are getting tons of rain, 
bad news:
It Always Comes at  our Walking time.
Good News, is there is nothing NEW for Mama and Daddy.
Same Old Same Old is a good thing.

Good News
Mama is excited because the rain made the weeds BLOOM, hundreds of tiny white flowers all over the yard, and she saw 6 butterflies, 3 different species. She told me she misses, the days of old when our yard was a butterfly garden.

She also misses Missy and Mister, so she colored these.



She allowed me to do Copy Cat Copy Cat
