POO (perfectly ordinary objects)

 

January of this year, I bought 8 oz. unbreakable plastic glasses and showed them to you in one of my Sparkles posts. This week I ordered the 12 oz and took these photos to use for show and tell. 

Good news: I have new glasses

Bad News: I have to de-clutter the kitchen cabinets to fit them in

Good News: Thrift store will be happy and photos of the de-clutter will give me another boring post about POO (perfectly ordinary objects)

Ann posted her drawing of this bunny and duck and Voila!

Rabbits travel by hare-planes.

A crate of ducks is a box of quackers!

Ducks wake up at the quack of dawn.

Is a leaf just a leaf? (POO)

While walking I found 2 leaves, ginormous Maple Leaves. I spent hours trying to get a shot to show you just how big....(POO perfectly ordinary object)

 

Eleven Inches Wide by Eight inches long!

I hid my face in shame.

Christmas Past 2025 a Santa and something Red

how we took selfies Before Cell Phones Took Over our Lives.

Christmas Past, In 2006 (we did have indoor bathrooms/WC and mirrors and tiny cameras.)

(NOTE: researchers, don't bother to see when smart phone came out, I already did it for you, 1992. But I got my first cell phone in 2005, not smart, not a real phone, a prepay to use on my 17 mile, 45 minute commute in Florida traffic to the job I stayed 1 year longer because of the commute and retired. 

I finally caved in 2015 and got a tiny cheap smart phone and here I am with 4 cheap androids smartphones under my belt. I should say in my hand)

PS I paid $119 for the one I have now in 2023, and I LOVE IT.. all the others were under 100. I replace them about every 4 or 5 years.

Random Shots of (POO)

 I left these items sitting on the counter overnight. I use CLUES to make myself remember things I want to do for just in case I forget to look at my list of  To- Do Today. Guess what 4 things it was to remind me to do. Answers below....SCROLL Baby Scroll  (POO) Perfectly Ordinary Objects

Peel and cook the apples for Bob. Cook Rice Pasta for Beau and Mama, Make Mama's Granola, Cornbread baked and put in freezer. ALL for the coming week. 

I SAW, I SNAPPPED! it looks like the glass cracked and is leaking liquid glass. What do you see?

  I found this homemade business card, in a snack bag, with a small rock. 

Tree Service Advertising. Cheap !! Glad it did not hit the window.

Received the above in my email, stating Bob's Calamine Lotion, 2 bottles for 5 dollars, was delivered by Walmart. No, I did not order just that, I twas part of this order, total cost $159.00

Default delivery on my orders say, leave in baskets under white bench on porch.

the white bench was moved, 4 months ago for the wheel chair bench, and the baskets stored under the bench, when I order I pull them out and sit in front of the wall. This time I forgot to move the basket,

The girl piled all the groceries in one spot. There is a 25 dollar ham, a pie, bread, eggs, a lot of things. 

I watched the young man, slide the basket out, gently place the package in and slide it back... which one do you think got 5 stars?

No, I did not give her a bad star, I just did not answer the email request. These people are saving my life driving my shopping items to me.

I am thankful for them, no matter where they place them.

Just because I had the app open I Instat toned his email photo.

Daily Life as Caregiver (POO)

 

On the way to Publix, a man is caving a giant tree stump into a Octopus, with tenacles wrapped around a sea horse, a star fish. Its been months. I have to get out of the car to get the head of octopus, will do that when it is done.

For those of you who don't remember, POO is making a post out of Perfectly Ordinary Objects. 

Sunrise from front porch. Joy!

I have dropped to much weight and Google gave healthy ways to gain weight, one of which was 
CORNBREAD. I do love it. I cook, and then scoff a big piece and then put half in a container and half in freezer and between meals it's Happy Cornbread Time~

Standing watching the workers who have been working on the house of 7 cars across the street, I spied with my little green eyes this view of the front porch. Dan moved the bench to make room for the wheel chair ramp.. Now I can see it from inside.

Caregivers are Super Heroes, in comfortable clothes, that do the dishes by lamplight.

The Egg, the frying pan and 2 lizards

Poo (perfectly ordinary objects) Egg and Lizards, what is more ordinary.

I just wanted you to see where I put the egg when I make my egg, vegan mayo, French bread breakfast sandwich. Cool Egg Holder, Bob's breakfast cast iron skillet.

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR EGG FROM ROLLING OFF THE COUNTER?

Below was a funny story, I was standing throwing dish water out on the weed patch when I heard a loud rattling sound, stepping 2 steps to my left, there was a battle going on between two very large male brown anoles. They were fighting and by the time I returned with cell phone, they had parted and having a stare down. The second photo on vamoosed when he saw me aim the cell.

Guess now what they were fighting over..

A FEMALE OF COURSE, OF COURSE..

here is the answer, the above photos are from last week, the below are from Sept and I never used them. we have a colony of thousands, and we love them. a cheap source of entertainment.

THE LOVING COUPLE

Cuban Tree Frog with sucky feet.. we love our wildlife, picture from the archives, none last year or so far, no rain. 

Dukes Mixture

 

 I ordered silicone ice trays and WOW! what a deal. They came with lids, the bottom is soft. Turn upside down and you can push out the cubes you want, of twist slightly and all come falling down. Thanks for telling me about them Ann. Fresh in the freezer straight from Amazon and no cubes on the floor. My first ever ice trays that came with a Ice Tray Manual, both sides with photos. I am still giggling

Duke's Mixture 2.  Above are the shopping bags I take with me to Wal-Mart. 3 weeks ago, I purchased 2 of the bags with wine bottles on them and the other one is what bob's hearing aids came in.

the big bag I have had since selling Real Estate in early 90's

Those wine bags are PERFECT they stand up by themselves, they have pockets to use or not, and I wanted a couple more but they were not to be found in WM which is where I got them.

I like the stand up kind, the others are all floppy and fall around while trying to fill them.

Now I need to make a sign to hang on the steering wheel that says get them out of the trunk 

Dumb bunny.

My morning BP pill,  sits in my coffee cup, next to the coffee pot, I have not forgotten it  a single time since I store it there. 

If you are pondering what is Dukes Mixture, it means to me a hodgepodge of whatever.

Found on WWW

What does Duke's mixture mean?

Years ago there was a "Duke's Mixture" pipe tobacco that was "low end and

The public snickered at Duke's Mixture brand, because it was low end, was a thrown together stew of tobacco odds and ends, and this led early on to the phrase duke's mixture and we sometimes still hear used today, to mean a hodge-podge of something.

Bob left the TV on

 

I sat with my phone in my hand beside Bob. He got up and went in the backyard, he left the car show on and I was to lazy to get up and get the remote to turn it off.

 the car above appeared and I took 3 shots with the phone, thinking he would love to see the car he missed.

None of the three were keepers, but when I viewed the taillights  dashboard above, I thought, I like this one and took it to PicMoney to PLAY...

NOTE UPDATEthank you to 3 out of 5 comments that noticed this is not taillights. 

I cloned out the Rose and thought, I have got to move that over to the side, it was left there when we replaced the 47 inch TV with the 65 inch TV and has been offending by OCD self for over a year.

If I take it down, it leaves a hole, if I move it over I have to fill the hole and make another hole and try to get it in the right place the first time. Just sayin... I don't want to fool with it but did take the time to clone it out of the photo and turn it into the below ART. 

Another day of adventure without leaving home. 

Sunrise on Nature Friday PLUS

 .

I took these two photos on 9/9/24 at the edge of our driveway, after walking Beau. We see the sun come up each day as we return home. What better to post on Nature Friday than sunrise, and shoes worn to a frazzle in one year walking in the great outdoors

Sketchers Go Walk and so comfy! I clicked on buy again on Amazon. 

2 days later I received them, they did not look the same, and worst of all, they were too big. same size, not same shoe. 

Next day I bought similar shoes at Wal-Mart, and I like them but can't wear them without socks, Socks in Florida make feet feel like they are incased in hot concrete.  I don't wear socks, ever except house socks for 2 months of winter.  Now I have little black socklets that wick moisture and I hate wearing socks. It ruins my outdoor nature walks... I MADE A DISCOVERY

to be continued.
