We ate breakfast at Bud Jones Restaurant this morning, then did some shopping at Wal-Mart.

By the time we got home and got the groceries put away, it was around 9 a.m. So then we went to the open air Pearl Farmer’s Market. It was the first time we had been there.

They had lots of fresh produce and other items. We brought home arugula, cantaloupe, radishes, and tomatoes. We didn’t stay long enough to see all of the booths as it was getting hot and humid, but as it is right here in town, we will go again another Saturday. I get an email from them every Friday, telling what produce will be offered that weekend.

Lots of people had their dogs along and Sis took a picture of one that had a cart attached. That was handy. I wished I had something like that to put my bags in as they were getting quite heavy.




We had tuna salad sandwiches with sliced tomatoes and arugula for lunch with cottage cheese and some of the cantaloupe.

This afternoon I did laundry, rested awhile, then swept and mopped the back porch where we keep the kittens. After that dries I will change their litter boxes and hopefully be able to relax for the rest of the evening.

I find I have to rest a lot oftener between chores than I did a few years ago. Aging takes a lot out of a person. But I comfort myself with the knowledge that even if it takes longer, I still am able to do it.

Here is another shawl that Sis just finished.

Yesterday morning while we were having coffee on the back porch, we saw 4 blue jays on the fence at the end of the yard by the alley. I wish I could have gotten a picture of them - never a camera handy when you need one.

Sis got up during the night and discovered our house cat, Calvin, was still on the back porch. He was not at all happy and was pacing back and forth on the window ledge. He is lying beside me on the desk right now.



A shawl Sis just crocheted.

Today has been very hot. It is almost 7:30 p.m. and still 94 degrees. The kittens were lying on the screened-in back porch looking so hot that we put them all in their crate and brought them into the house where it is air conditioned. They don't seem to mind being in the crate. I will take them back out and let them out of the crate in a couple of hours when it cools down a little bit.

A friend at church gave me a large eggplant that he had grown in his garden.

When I got home, the yard man was here mowing our yard. I hadn't expected him to come before tomorrow. The kittens on the back porch were frightened at the sound of the mower and hid until he left. Then they came out again.

After church this morning we went to Luby's for lunch.

We talked to our friend, Lori from Ohio this afternoon. It was good to visit with her.

The lilac-colored crepe myrtle is in full bloom outside our screened porch. None of the others in the yard have started to bloom yet. I guess we need to fill the humming bird feeders soon.

We went to a yogurt shop called Peachwave this evening. It is fairly new in this area and we hadn't tried it before. I liked it.

We ate breakfast at Wendy's this morning. I had their sausage pannini sandwich sandwich with coffee. It was really good. Then we did some grocery shopping.

Sis ordered an old-fashioned popcorn popper thru ebay. It looks a lot like one our father used to use. It came today and she lost no time in trying it out. The popcorn was delicious and the memories are great too.

At 10:30, I had an appointment at the beauty shop to get my hair washed and colored. That makes me feel so much better.

June 1 – Friday
There was a meeting at church that I needed to attend at 5 p.m. It lasted about an hour. After I got home from that, we went to Wal-Mart and picked up the rest of my prescription. When I went in earlier this week, they only had enough to give me a three-day supply.

Then we went to a little diner and had supper. It’s a nice little restaurant and we have been there a couple of times before. They did mess up my order this time and brought me breaded veal instead of the grilled pork chop that I had ordered, but it was nearly closing time and I didn’t want to wait any longer, so I took that instead.
