Blog 365 ~ Blah, Blah, Blah!

 Ain't Nobody got time for this.......


I've felt "off" all day long. Struggled to do a bit of household chores and decided to heck with and have been sitting most of the day....
Cooked dinner, watching a little TV and have just decided to give in and going to bed!  

Night, Night all....

Blog 365 ~ Thursday Thoughts


I was able to finish mowing the back & side yard tis morning....
Who doesn't LOVE a freshly mowed lawn....

Cooled down a bit then headed inside to get the floors vacuumed...then dust mopped, 'cause well 6 Cats! Those itty bitty fine hair/fur sometimes the vac just don't get them all.

Quick shower off and ready for Kiwanis meeting.....
sporting a 'new' skirt from the RTB expo.

My Kiwanis club has something called 'Brag Bucks'. I f you have something going on that you want to brag about yourself you put in a dollar...I spent 3$ today!

We had speaker/author/screen play writer Liz Orndoff with Scarlett Cup Theatre. She talked about her upcoming play Hollerwood on the High Seas, 

starring our very own Kiwanis member Allen Martin as Sheriff.

Afterwards a trip to Kroger to use up some coupons but only on items we needed, and unfortunately I also had to get gas...Geesh the prices are still high!

On the way home my Gal Pal MJ called All...Upset!! I talked to her [she was coming home from Lexington] via car phone, told her to be careful and I would see her at her house...after a couple of hours she was calmer, and we had a plan for the weekend. 'he' has been moved to different facility and NO MEDS, Zero, Zilch NaDa so 'he' is acting/reacting like he did before. Prayers for her please! 

I left MJ's and went to a 'Boozy Book Fair' around the corner from my house. Morley's Backyard has become a popular place to hang out, and they host a variety of activities.
Tonight it was a family affair with Centre College book store & Plaid Elephant [a children's book store] had selections available for young and old alike.

Food trucks were available with either Burgers, BBQ 
OR, Mexican food option was also on site. Both was Oh. So. Good...don't ask how I know.😋

Time to shut it down for the night, waiting on the hub's to get home.....

Blog 365 ~ Hubby Date Day ~ Worship Wednesday

 Early morning for this 🐪 HUMP 🐪 Day.....The month is almost over ?!!! Only 7 more days left. Is it me? Or does everyone else feel like the days, weeks, months, years are moving faster & faster ?

First up was a Big breakfast for us since today is Date Day with the Hub's, so eggs, sausage patty & biscuits with honey.

Then, I got busy outside getting the front yard weed eating done and mowed the front yard...

I Love doing my own! #yardtherapy for the Win.
I only had time for the front half as I was involved with the Solid Gold Oldie Music station on TV.

Worship Wednesday

Noon Day Bible Study at First Baptist...what a Blessing they are!

I came home and cleaned up a bit, snacked on chicken salad w/crackers and started reading my 'pleasure' reading book - Never, Never has me drawn completely IN! [dangit] Other than the 2 main characters have lost their memory...Oops I need to stop there, it's intriguing, get it, borrow it, check it from your local library and see for yourself.

The hubby came home and we went for our 'Date Day' compliments from his boss and Lori Kagan-Moore at The Dollhouse Museum.

Oh My Goodness...! I've been in this town for a very long time and have never taken the time to go to it.

I'm so grateful we were able to go today and the fact the hub's was still 'on the clock' while touring the museum. 
from the time you walk in it's Magical...there's so much to see! I'm sharing just a few [though a lot] photos from today's experience...
  

  
The Great American Dollhouse Museum showcases over 200 dollhouses, miniature buildings, and room boxes, furnished in remarkable detail and populated with tiny people at work and play.
  
I was Thrilled to see the Dragons as part of 'History'
  
Troll/Wizard/Fairy display...The last section of the Museum contains a heavily forested fantasy land with faeries, elves, witches, trolls and a walk-in dragon cave. It’s just for fun and always well-loved by visitors.
  

 
The Museum’s unique focus is the depiction of American social history in miniature. History from Native American [no pics??] through Colonial, Old West, early Southwest and modern eras,
  
a complete miniature town circa 1910, includes mansion, business, retail and factory districts as well as a Shaker village. 
  

  

  
And of course some Vintage clothing on display throughout the museeum...
  

Late Lunch/Early Dinner afterwards at Cattleman's, dessert to-go for later.
I'm Loving this Date Day thing with the G'Kid and now the hubby...🤔maybe this is the start of a new routine...??

Blog 365 ~ G'Kid Day Date

 


A great day today ! Finally the G'Kid and I were able to get together. We've been planning on going to Josephine Sculpture park for a few weeks and finally went!! Though it got hot rather quickly we still managed to walk 2.25 miles...
















This was just one/half of the park....we're going to go again and do the rest in a week or so. The best part of the day?? Just being together with her.


She [we've] been through the wringer with her & ex-BF. We were able to just talk about all kinds of things, make plans for a upcoming trip to Biltmore, and of all things she wants to do more hiking with me! 

Afterwards we went to have a late'ish lunch at a Chinese restaurant...Buffet for the WIN! Some of their decor included these sculptures in a water feature with Koi fish...Big, HUGE Koi fish!!


**********
Dinner tonight is leftovers for the Hubby and small salad for me, did I mention Chinese Buffet !!
