Another Good Morning to you and we hope everyone has a good day.
First time ever! My gold card from the Star Coffee company has zero money on it. I have had the gold card and have used the gold card for I think 14 years. Over the years I would get gift cards for the Star Coffee, and I would transfer the money from the gift card to the gold card, and I also at times just took cash and had them add it to the card so I could get the points for free drinks.
Tuesdays happenings: the day started off normal, I worked on my notes for the posting then a short nap and my bible reading. I had a quick lunch, and I vacuumed the carpets as the dog does leave hair everywhere. Housework completed I went to the shed where I procured the knee pads and a couple other items and then I went to the Jasmin / flower bed where I got on my knees. Now this time I was not on my knees for prayer, although I need it, I was ready to remove weeds.
I crawled around on my hands and knees for more than an hour pulling weeds. In truth what I am referring to as weeds is in fact grass. The grass that is in our yard (St. Augustine) will pop up anywhere.
As I had noted in an earlier post, the ground was wet which made it easier to get the weed and the root most of the time. About halfway done I took a break on the front porch for a few minutes and that is when I observed a delivery truck making a delivery to the neighbor lady’s house. They unloaded a large carton about 5 feet tall that they left on the walk near the front porch. More about that delivery later.
I finished pulling the weeds and took the weeds to the trash container where I took a photo. You may notice that the container was full.
Tools put away I was allowed to take a very nice shower. When my ole body was again clean, I went to the Ford’s ole recliner with a large glass of water and I began to rest. Yep, I took a nap and when I woke up, I suggested to my favorite wife that we could sit outside for a while.
I went outside to see if there was a breeze on the front porch and I noticed the neighbor lady and her two grand kids were at the very big box. I could tell they were considering moving the very large carton across the yard (about 50 feet) to the driveway. I walked over and told her I had seen them deliver it. She said they were supposed to leave it in the driveway. I asked what it was and she said a gun-safe which weighs 240 pounds. Well, I knew that she and the grand kids would not be able to move the gun-safe, especially across the yard. I offered to help saying we should take it down the walk to the street then up the street to the driveway using a two-wheeler.
We were able to get it to the drive way with out incident, we place it in the garage and I was able to bring the lady and the two kids back to our house where we wanted the lady’s grand daughter to see the painting she had made which now had a light that flashes on it. They came over and talked with my favorite wife and looked at the painting with the light on it.
My favorite wife and I sat on the porch where I decided to make a pizza for supper. My favorite wife was going to cut up lettuce so we could have a salad with the pizza, but she found that I had mistakenly purchased a cabbage and not lettuce. We had Pizza but no salad. I was allowed to clean up in the kitchen and wash the dishes after supper.
Today’s events: basically, no plans for the day, we will see what happens.
I am stopping for now; we hope your day is filled with blessings and that we all stay safe in all we do. Staying safe is a blessing.
Don the Ford
