Brand New Month + New SF budgets + Happy Birthday

 

Happiest Birthday Wishes to my Son-in-Love Gerard ''G-Man'' Perkins...

He and the Kid have been together for 35 years !! Through all the THICK & Thin, but more so he has survived me, 🤣 ! The fact that he was a mere 14yo when they started their 'relationship' I feel like I've raised him as well. It's a long story that doesn't need rehashed; all I know is he's the best Dad to my G'kids, successful with his career and truly loves my daughter with all his being.

Happy New Month !!

As I do every 1st day of the month, I completed the Cinnamon ritual...

Went for my walk/run and found $$ [a little at a time adds up]

Though we are still under heat advisory locally, I've already started fall/winter planning...[ don't judge ]

Days are slowly getting darker,

I'm not cut out for all the heat & humidity and ready for cooler evenings.

So, a lot of SF monies are in new ''start-up'' balances. The kid HVAC system went kaput and I offered to help her with getting a new one. Amazingly the old unit was one I put in 28 years ago when I was remodeling the house...so it was long overdue for replacement.

Still working on getting stuff done and handled around the house little bits at a time. Later this afternoon I have Garden Club then Hospice Gala planning meeting. Not exactly sure what's for dinner but it'll be something easy.

Hope everyone has an amazing day and can enjoy the outdoors safely!
