Coffee anyone ?

Since I have a small black car with no distinguishing features—and 50 million other people on the Walmart parking lot do too, I park on the last row on the right, facing Walmart. Since it’s so far from the door, I usually get a space close to the end. I’ve done a pin drop in congested parking lots. Another trick is turn around like you are looking for your car and look for it. Spot how close it is to a light pole or something. That trick works out in the woods too, trails always look different facing the other way.

Coffee is ready. It’s a white fog outside and I don’t care-it’s Sunday and by the time I get out of church, it will be too hot to do anything outside anyway.

I've read about turning around to see what it will look like later, when you're looking for your car. You could turn around and take a photo with your phone, too.

My 2000 gray Camry is common, as is my dark green 2006 Honda. I put little colorful stickers on the bumpers.

I have absolutely no sense of direction. None. I am a freak of nature. Look at the sun? Shadows? What direction are they moving in or from? Unless I have several minutes to observe it’s a lost cause. It’s all north to me.

Well, in a parking lot, the cars you see "now" are gone later! I look at poles and where the building is, relative to where I parked. No matter which door I come out, I go to what aisle lined up going in. Yep, walk a little from that less used area helps. At the stores I work, I use the same area each time.

Beautiful out this morning. And it's a cooler, drier week coming mid 80 days, 70 at night! yes!!! no rain showing. Left a gal of milk out last night, so pot of cheese working -- just a quick cottage cheese. Long days work week, so quick proteins for breakfast & dinner. Pot roast cooked yesterday. It'll be a heat & eat week. I'll make a loaf of bread and some tuna, chicken or egg salad for sandwiches. Everything here to do it...no store runs. Work 3 days, home 4 days better weather will let me work outside. So much grass cutting needed!!!

Perfect solution to finding a lost car!

Coffee is ready. I need to mow goatweed in the middle field. It’s 94% humidity and high of 95 today. Tractor has a canopy over it, it helps some. Yes, I’ll be taking breaks and drinking plenty of fluids.

I'm muddling through a Monday morning at work.


While looking for something else I found this instead!

I think it was 1991. That's my 9 year old daughter.

Brings back childhood memories that at one time we had a garden, that didn't last but maybe 2 years. Another year we had chickens and somewhere along those lines a few ducks, that only lasted about just as long. Ended up with a pig one time and that was the end of that. Nothing really stuck, don't know why we ever got of anything, think it was more of influence from my dads friend/neighbor up the road.
Seriously, how was that going to last long on a half an acre when you can't grow anything within 100' of the leach fields from the septic when the property dimensions were 100' x 200', even the well we once had was maybe 50' from the leach fields. To top it off there was so much junk (appliances, TV's CB radios and various other implements of electronics that maybe was enough room on 1/10th of the property.

Wedding anniversary. The big 4-0. I will be potting a Meyer lemon and a key lime. According to the zone schedule I might risk planting them in the yard but we’ve had temps near or at zero the last two winters so nope. We had a Meyer years ago and got about a dozen plus lemons at Christmas. They smell really good when they bloom too. It got so big we gave it to our Realtor for her office. They enjoyed it. No big anniversary plans. Another day really. And that’s how we like it.
