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

Ann from SnapEditScrap sketches, Mama does a copy cat inspired by hers. She uses colored pencils, I paint in Procreate on my iPad. https://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/

Can you guess what I am doing?

I recently notice while brushing my hair, the the top is almost white 😁😁, but when looking at sides and front, it still has little brown color.

 Above is the first 4 attempts to show the white that is seen on the top of my head, Straight on it doesn't show.

I decided it was time to show you what my current self looks like after the past 16 months.

I tried a half dozen times and could not get one I liked.

The first, I decided to show you the real me, no smile, wrinkles obvious. the second, I looked like I was praying for the wrinkles to leave, 3rd  hunchback, 3rd one eye squinted other wide. 

I will do a week end update for a while, and if anything needs to be told will do that also.

UPDATE: Bob will not do his PT Exercise unless I do them with him. After 3 weeks of doing the balance exercises together every morning, my posture has straightened, my back stopped hurting, the ankles bend and the veins don't hurt, plus they don't swell like they did.  

Bob is able to walk with his legs much straighter, using his walker, his toes are curling under from the CIDP, and now they are 50 percent straighter. 

Rain came, we got 6 inches in one week, the grass is growing as fast as the weeds. 

I cut the grass this morning, with my phone in one pocket and bottle of Gatorade, in the other pocket. When completed I looked like I had been swimming in my clothes.

Hair plastered to the head.  

Most of you can relate to this update: It Is Hot HOT HOT! last night at 9 pm the feels like temp was 104.. We start each day with high humid 82 degrees, feels like 90, at 4 AM.. We had a wild windy thunderstorm last night with no rain. It felled limbs to be picked up in front and back yard and the lightning strikes were right on top of us causing me to flinch with every BANG.. that's it, love you and miss you All.

Me.. July 16, 2026

THE END
Beau is doing well, just took this while typing this post, he pretty much does this most of the time.
