Friday, July 3, 2009 | A Rambling story

Yard's done; no rain in a few weeks; accidently left the sprinkler on for about three hours yesterday when I went out for lunch and to see my friend Walter! Can't wait to see that bill!!! Been hitting the gym in the mornings for at least 1/2 hour of good cardio work! Foot is getting better but still is quite aggravating!! Heard from my daughter Deanna in CA today she now has 2 jobs and works a 3rd when needed!!!! Yea!!! Dawn and 2 of her kids may be over Sunday for a cookout! Her oldest daughter, Nicole is spending July in Texas with her father. Haven't heard from Pam today and really don't expect to! Doing some touch-up work on front door and window frame. Took the drapes down and WOW!!!! How bright and cheerful my living room looks!!! Heck, I may leave them down but I'd have to be careful about my choice of clothing!!! I saw some neat drapes/sheers in the new JCP catalog that I may put up; they're the large grommet top type and they look neat! Had lunch at Smokey Bones today. Watched the Wimbledon matches; glad that Andy Roddick made it to the finals! Star Wars again.

 

I quit.

    Busy,busy! I finally made a decision on the color for my bathroom...gosh it's hard! Window treatments are a touch thing...I just read an article in last Sundays paper about do's and don'ts for window treatments...she said sheers were out...if you wanted privacy use cellular shades that you can drop at night...oh well, I sorta do my own thing anyhow! LOL Glad to see you're making your home your home. I watched Wimbledon also...good for Andy!
    And yes, "Bang' was indicative of tomorrow's fireworks! LOL

    Busy little beaver you are my friend...Laughing about your curtains because we always had curtains on the sides of our windows that looked out onto the patio AND the gardens. After Jim died, I couldn't sit down there, I just felt like someone was peering in on me, so I went and got shades... When I pull them down at night I feel like I am in my little cocoon and I love it....We had about 5 hrs. of sun today, then whamo thundertorms AGAIN. They cancelled the fireworks again until Sunday night... I haven't gone to them since Jim died, just too many memories for me there, too hard to handle.... Glad your foot feels better... I HAVE to get back to the gym, I usually never went in the Spring/Summer, too much work around here in the gardens, but this year I DIDN"T EVEN go in the winter... shhh, and it shows.... Have a safe 4th of July... I am going to my son's girlfriends' mothers house for a bit... Kind of just want to stay home alone... I could be content with that.... Hugs,

    I went thru the house we lived in until Don died and they had taken down all the old drapes and put in shades that they could raise or open just a little. I never thought I would like it but it was nice. Cleaning may be a b---h but drapes have to be cleaned. Matter of choice Joe in hundreds here again today suppose to cool of by Monday. Looking in to YMCA but don't hold your breath not to good at excerise unless it is walking and darn leg is not cooperating. Have a great 4th and do not eat to much. Katie
