Saturday was not without its drama and trauma!
LD put coffee grounds down his bathroom sink and that caused a big problem!
I took him to Home Depot and he went in all by himself.
I had NOT dressed for the public so I sat in the car and read a book.
He did good and bought exactly what he needed and then proceeded to do the repairs!
Win! WIN!!!
The bathroom is still a mess but I'll deal with it on Monday!
Saturday was a cooler day for July and I rummaged through my storage building packing up all my Halloween decorations. I've decided to scale back on a few things. I no longer decorate for the patriotic holidays and I scaled way back on Easter. I decided to donate all my Halloween decorations this making my fall decorating easier. Amber and Harrison visited us late Saturday afternoon and they loaded it all up and will keep the nicer things and carry the rest to Goodwill. That's where most of it came from in the first place.
Harrison spied the whipped cream in the fridge and we had fun trying to pop it UP and IN our mouths!
I didn't do so well but Harrison nailed it!
It was so much fun, though!
This morning I watched Fellowship Church online while Harrison and Amber were there in person.
I made a Sunday brunch after church!
I put sausage patties in a muffin pan and squished them down with a small condiment dish.
Dropped an egg in each nest with some seasonings and then added frozen hash brown potatoes topped with shredded taco cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350* and it was delicious and filling!
I took a nap this afternoon and when I woke up I went out to reorganize my storage building.
What a surprise!
I couldn't even get to the door!
It's amazing how fast Louis Dean can get an idea and start working on it!
I admit, I did not SEE an idea - only a big wet muddy mess!
Note to self - think twice before I take a nap!
Our cats are precious to us.
Tabitha got out this morning as Louis Dean was going in and out.
I was sleeping in and may need to start getting up earlier instead of luxuriating in bed for an hour after I wake up.
She didn't stay out long this time and was on the front porch wanting in!
Samantha loves warm laundry!
She even sneaks into the dryer when I accidently leave it ajar!
We do love our kitties!
This is Benjamin's cat, Zuko.
He is brother to Amber's cat, Ginger, and our cats, Samantha and Tabitha.
He is a very loved cat and seemed to be fine the other day.
On Saturday he had a hard time breathing and Benjamin rushed him to the vet.
They treated him for congested heart disease and kept him overnight in an oxygen box.
The diagnosis is heart failure but he's on two medications that he will take the rest of his life - and there's no idea how long that might be. Weeks, months or even years.
Zuko is happy to be home and Benjamin is even happier!!
It's amazing how we bond so closely with our pets.
This has been a sombering weekend with the flooding in the hill country of Texas.
I'm sure you have all seen videos and coverage of this tragic event and I'm also certain we are all praying.
We can all do something.
Praying, providing supplies....
Fellowship Church is involved with rescue efforts and my friend, Debbie, shared this opportunity to provide needed supplies.
I have no words.......just praying.....
The disaster was awful, and there are still so many missing. What is this project that Louis Dean is doing outside? Your brunch looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. The flooding that took so many lives is just heartbreaking. I am praying for the families that lost so much. That brunch looks very good. I think I may have to give it a try. I hope that you and LD have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat flood was heartbreaking and prayers are being sent for all.
ReplyDeleteI think just about any man gets an idea in his head and just goes for it. Usually it happens when a more reasonable female isn't there to stop them.
Miss Linda - The disaster in Central Texas is heartbreaking. I am praying for everyone and my heart breaks for those little girls and their families. It is just awful. And helps us to keep all of our annoying things in perspective. From Maryellen
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the disaster in Texas - just awful.
ReplyDeleteYour egg and hash browns looked good.
What was Dean doing to your work space?
i have thought about you every day, the pictures and videos we are seeing everywhere are horrific! i hope the area gets the help they so desperately need!! your breakfast looks quite yummy....
ReplyDeletei scaled back on decorating a few years ago and although i miss it, i don't miss the dread of putting things away!!
Oh Linda, we have been watching and praying for the horrible floods and the people that have been lost, and those still missing.
ReplyDeleteAlso so sorry for all your ups and downs and repairs with your precious Louis Dean. I love the whipped cream and the fun you have with your grandchildren. Being grandma is so special isn't it? I'm completely with you about downsizing for the holiday decorations. I'm picking and choosing what I will use, and it won't be much. My own health issues are slowing me down and that's a good thing. Love and Hugs and prayers.
I loved the video clip of you and Harrison and the whipped cream..just too much fun. It seems that Louis Dean really keeps you hopping.Deep breaths my friend. God knows what you need and He is your blessed provider. Love you so much
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
