Continuing On

Greetings. Despite making several "mybloggersites" angry over the past year, I continue to contribute to this site. (I have this "foot in mouth" malady that seems to irritate some former readers, to which I say "tough darts".)

Since I returned from my California trip, it's been a busy week. Time to rehash some events.
Yes, I've golfed--that goes without saying. I even got in two days of jogging over the weekend. My legs feel it.

I've rolled, mowed, and trimmed my yard. Remember, I have an acre's worth to take care of. I trim by hand clippers (no weed eater)and usually rake the grass clippings for compost and mulch.

Fruit trees have been sprayed (no, I'm not "organic"), driveway weeds "Round-upped". And the garden is finally planted! All that's left is sweet potatoes. I've already eaten kale, lettuce/spinach, asparagus and rhubarb, along with many herbs (dill, cilantro, chives, etc.). I love salads. Bought and planted petunias for around my porch.

I've watched my grandson twice (I hate calling it "babysitting"), spent time with my father and sister (and nephew). Still, I take time to be on the computer, but it's limited. (Forgive me for not reading more posts.)

Tomorrow, I vote (ugh), see my Edward Jones manager (my "kids" have repaid me the loans I made this winter), grocery shop, go to the library, etc. Somehow, the book I checked out (Charles Dickens Bio) got wet on my trip and did damage, so I imagine I'll have to buy it.

I need a vacation! Have a good week.

What dayamean vacation? When you travel you find just as much to do.

At least it's a vacation away from routines of home life.

I wish I had your energy. You are one amazing guy!!

What I didn't mention is that from about 7 to 11PM, I am a couch potato, reading and "watching" TV (usually muted). Recuperation time! But thanks, anyway.

I just realized you might think my comment meant I was bored. On the contrary, you tired me out.

Understood!

Darned libraries, expecting you to not damage their books!
Telling people they have to pay for damaged books or late fees is the worst part of my job.

I won't have to be told--I know it's "beyond repair". I hope I can keep it.

Nap time.....ZZZZZZZ.....

I seldom miss--day's highlight!!

sounds like a great time...getting stuff done and playing with grandkids!
comment by panthurdreams on May 7, 2012 4:55 PM ()
Mix of work and leisure--although my fun time (golf) is often demanding (walking 6 mi. and kid sitting)!

Great news that the loan was repaid already. Responsible kids there.

I had to take their word that they were getting a bank loan. But, in order for that to happen, they had to have equity. Hence, the 20 ac and the house. Everything is working out for all of us! Hurray.

what else is new.
comment by fredo on May 7, 2012 9:11 AM ()
Not sure what you mean, unless it's that either I'm always busy or I tick people off a lot!

Ok, who did you "p-- off" now? Hope you continue to find time for us. You are one of my favorite on this site.

No names, but they live in Florida, Colo./Nev, and Okla. Evidently, "my bad".
For you and all the rest, thanks.

I am surprised you aren't organic. Will your daughter turn you around on that?
comment by kristilyn3 on May 7, 2012 6:28 AM ()
I'm not crazy about spraying--just a little. And I wash my veggies and fruit carefully. Emily doesn't know I do it!
