What are you doing today? (besides shopping)

I love line dried clothing and bedding.
It was a tradition in my rural family. I spent lots of time hanging and harvesting it.

Urban areas tend to frown on it/outlaw it, unfortunately.

Heading to the Apple store in the mall to drop off my phone so it can be repaired.

Then a few stops after that in a part of the city I am not familiar with at all.

It now dawns on me that I won't have my phone with me for navigation.

must come up with a Plan B.

@ Minime. Wonderful that you are feeling better. Tonight, I went with DDs to take those babies for their long walk. They're so funny and have different personalities. This lady in her car yelled out both of Fa bu las' names as she was driving by. WTH, LOL? DDs tell me the entire community knows and loves them. Made my day. Get gardening now.

It’s all too much excitement! When I lived in Waikiki I used to have a gig taking a baby girl bulldog out for a walk on my lunch break. She LOVED people and wouldn’t let one pass her by without doing this thing where she stretched out her arms in front of her down to the ground and looked up at them with these Puss n Boots round eyes that would make people go absolutely gaga over her. I would try to lead her towards the shaded park where there was grass to sit and people watch, but she would always pull towards the top of the strip where she saw people. I would give in once in a while and take her down the strip and boy did she cause a commotion! We had Japanese tourists wanting pics of her, and with her, and she would have everyone stopping in their tracks, holding court. She was a regular celeb about town. I have some great pics of her stealing hearts of people from all over the globe!
Day 1 of Operation Opinion-Free. (I conservatively estimated that I have a surplus of opinions in excess of one trillion and three and can safely coast on these laurels for awhile...)

Who said so? Why did they say it?!

Let the countdown begin!

@Minime, I know the stance all too well. She sounds beautiful and I am happy you have great memories. My entire family loves Furry Babies. We have Baby Furry Love's sister with us for the weekend and have to give her up tomorrow. The attachment from all is real. We love to dote on her! She is so sweet and loves to cuddle, unlike her brother, lol.
NBA mania here. What a playoff. Congratulations to the NY Knickerbockers!!!!!!
Fact: a day with some Errol Garner is a fabulous day for me.

Skipping my hike to get things done, save gas, and because it is just such a hard hike and so hard for me to keep up. I intend to go on my own hike and push myself. Hopefully I can get in better condition.

@prince: at least you can still hike. Your own pace is the perfect way.

If only I could say I did get out and hike yesterday. Not joining the group usually means I don't do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

getting together with family members to make plans for a celebration of life gathering next weekend.
A beloved family member passed away recently and we are considering his wishes for a gathering.
I miss him like crazy.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Worked, did a Costco and Trader Joe's run tonight with DDs #1 and #2. Finished a crocheted market bag to donate to our Church's Bazaar. I was travelling with it to and from work and finished it in 5 days. I love it and need to make more. Beautiful cotton yarn and I added a bracelet around one of the handles. Made a lot of lady friends on the train while working on it, LOL. I received a dozen shoe boxes I ordered from Amazon. Stackable, roomy, with pull out drawer like handles. I'm hoping to get rid of the shoes I no longer wear and neaten up my closet of mismatched shoe box sizes and wondering which box houses what shoe. There's no reason why I need more than a dozen pairs of shoes that I love but rarely wear. Then I'll look at the shoe storage rack by the door that store every day footwear and get rid of more.
Here, the few shoes are on a shoe rack. Assorted 'beauty' products and 'notions' are in the over-door pocketed shoe bag thingy. It works well size-wise and shape-wise. In the past, I was endlessly fascinated by drawer and closet organizers. I imagined zillions of spaces which would accomodate all the types and styles. Now, I measure and repurpose thingies as needed...

Thank you prince, I appreciate those kind words...it was totally unexpected, so life hasn't been the same lately.
I doubt it ever will be again.

Long story, but I could give Imelda a run for her money. Well, not all of her money lol.
