Tuesday Treasures!

 Monday went by in a blur!

Louis Dean was working away on his projects - putting a light switch in the pantry for one thing - while I worked on mine. My main accomplishment was changing my closet from fall/winter to spring/summer. That took hours!

I was so tired when I finally finished that I took a nap around 6:00 and didn't wake up until 8:30!

I forced myself to get up then since I still had things to do...one of which was

baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies - using the mini chocolate chips.

I had an appointment with my urologist, Dr. Bloom, this afternoon and I always take him something sweet. Today was cookies and a jar of honey from our 2020 harvest.

Last year we did a televisit due to Covid.

Alas, he was still in the OR when I arrived so I saw his assistant, who was very sweet.....but I missed seeing Dr. Bloom. I left my bag with the cookies and honey and they assured me he would get them.

And so he did!

Later this afternoon he called to thank me and we were able to chat for a few minutes and catch up.

I simply love Dr. Bloom. He changed the quality of my life for the better by addressing and treating my chronic UTIs. I told him about doing the 23 & Me DNA testing and finding my father's name and all about my upcoming visit to meet my brother and two sisters in Kansas City, MO for the first time next month. I am so grateful for the good doctors I've had in my life. But I think Dr. Bloom and Dr. Abraham are my very favorites.

Since I was dressed and since I was out and since it was TUESDAY.....

I hit up four thrift stores on my way home!

That pretty pink bag back there is so cute! Brand new and it will be my beach bag for Summer 2021!

I already have my season pass for Hawaiian Falls!

The Mickey Mouse is a sleep shirt for Summer.....The one below is one for me.

The live laugh love pillow cover fits a faded pillow and gave it a whole new life!

Best find of all!

7 Christmas Debbie Mumm salad/dessert plates for $4!

I was gone all afternoon and when I returned, Louis Dean had some show and tell accomplishments to share!

Summer helped him organize and clean up the 'debris' along the west side of the house - we call it the 'kitchen side' and that debris was not MY kind!

The decks were all cleaned off and things were nice and tidy.

The two of them put together the glider Mike and Amber bought us for Christmas.

We sat out there with our evening glass of wine and enjoyed the fire pit.

Look who was peeking out the sewing room window!

She wanted to come out and play!

We lingered long out there and it was dark when we came in.

It looks like I have fire on my toes!

It's a bit of a challenge to prepare a meal with perishable foods scattered among two ice chests and a small beverage freezer and a couple of insulated bags.

But Summer put together a very nice supper for us.

Ham, cheese, fruit, sweet potato waffle fries and baked beans.

Louis Dean was tired and headed to bed while Summer and I watched a little of Magnum PI.

She's retired for the night now and both kitties are asleep in their kennel...

so I think I will empty the dishwasher, make our coffee for in the morning and fold the clothes in the dryer. Then I will be going to bed myself.

We turned the AC on today.....high was 82 and we can't have the French doors open with the cats out and about. The wind has been blowing crazy here so it's nice to have a cool comfortable house.

Good sleeping weather since you can still hear the wind......

So true!!!
