Very Busy Week

 I can’t believe I haven’t been here since August 1!  What have I been doing you might ask? Well……

Daughter went back to  work on Monday but granddaughter isn’t back in school yet so she has been here with me.  We have been busy.

Monday we went to lunch.  My husband likes to eat shrimp at Rockfish so we did.

Tuesday the grand girl wanted to go to the movie so we did.  She treated us (thanks Mom) and we saw Top Gun Maverick.  It was her fourth time to see it.  I remember being like that with movies when I was her age - I mean, I saw West Side Story as many times as my mother would let me.  But that was West Side Story — this was a military movie!  Oh, well — there were a lot of handsome guys in the flick so maybe that was the draw!

Wednesday we went to Target for a few things.

Thursday we went to Michaels and started binge watching Stranger Things — her choice not mine.  She has seen the entire series.  What can I say.

Today we finished the first series and she has gone home and I am going to make pizza for dinner.

I did a couple of different things this week.  I got a tip from Pinterest about storing folded plastic grocery bags in an empty tissue box in the bathroom or wherever you need it.  I use those plastic bags to line my trash cans — do you?  So, having them where I need them is advantageous and this works well.


And, we went to Michaels yesterday so I could purchase some wooden embroidery hoops to frame some of my needlework.  I did one this morning.  Unfortunately, no matter how much I ironed, I couldn’t remove a crease that was created when I washed it.  Had I known, I wouldn’t have washed it.  So, anyway, here it is





The second photo is in the dreary, dismal stairwell.  I intend to fill it with needlework.  I think it will be cute.  I hope.  At least I am hanging them on push pins so there won’t be huge nail holes in the wall!

I also finished reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry.  It was really good and I enjoyed it.  

So, now to start my weekend — pizza and “Beyond Salem”.  Hahaha!  I am getting so old.

My but you had a busy week with your granddaughter!!
I use those plastic grocery bags to line garbages too except that the stores are phasing out plastic bags and we are using reusable bags only. So what are we supposed to use for lining garbage cans? I've had to go to buy bags at the Dollar Store.

Hi, GM! Yes, it was a busy week but I was glad for it. The Hubs and I have just fallen into a very uninspiring routine so a little bit of young blood is welcome! We still have the plastic bags but I feel they are on their way out — there has been talk but no action yet. I have a love/hate relationship with them — they are annoying and multiply in the dark but if they are gone I will miss them. I have quit using the reusable bags because I can’t remember to take them with me but I have been thinking about it again — I will have to rebuy some.

Update

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
