Deja Vu?

It was a medium niceness weekend. Pickleball and dinner out Friday evening. Saturday I cleaned up from the work last week, Sunday morning I went to the beach till about noon, then was supposed to meet my new “reliable” pet sitter about my trip to the US in under two weeks. She didn’t show, and there was no communication, beside that she was coming “after church”, which is approximately noon.

if you recall a similar experience with the pet sitter who backed out and caused me to waste my ticket to Jamaica. That was last July I think.

When the petsitter did reappear in the evening, she apologized but seemed to get angry with me because I had expected her to show up.

do I give another chance? Or try and find somebody else?

Above is a picture of Venus and the moon, taken this morning.

Have a great week!

The Call Of The Cthulhu

I didn’t like it. But!

I thought Call of Cthulhu was the final book of the challenge… 16, because there was one I DNF (Did Not Finish) so I i lost count somehow.. The total this year is 17, not 18. So far!

And, another milestone

500 days of OM Meditation, standard is 6 minutes a day. 7 minutes a lot of time, never less than 5. Here’s to 500 more!

The tilers are tiling already this morning. They’re supposed to be done today, but who knows? The heat and sun have been more than they expected.

Have a great day!

Tiling Day Two

Yesterday we carried a whole heaps tile and thinset from downstairs all the way up to the roof. This morning, the guys showed up just before 6:30 and they’re up there now, cutting and tiling.

It’s going to be nice when it’s done.

Tiling Today

the tiling of the sun deck starts today. I’m taking off work for 3 days to guard the workers from the guard dogs. Here’s a “before” shot.

Have a great day!

Salmon Mini Burgers

I bought a six pack of canned salmon for hurricane supplies. I didn’t know what to do with them. Last night I created my own recipe, pictured above. I was surprised how good they were, (if I do say so myself)

I ate them like cookies. Which makes me think I’m going to change the name from salmon mini burgers to Salmon cookies..

Have a great week!

September Already

I find it hard to believe it’s September already. This year has flown by. Every week has flown by.

There was a nice pre dawn thunderstorm this morning, not that we really needed the rain. Below is a picture of the sunrise thru my front window.

Have a good weekend!

Blue Moon

Last night was a blue moon. It has nothing to do with color. A blue moon happens about every 2.5 years, when there’s two full moons in one month. The second full moon is called a blue moon. I took the two pictures above this morning.

Wonder what it’s called when there’s two New Moons in the same month?

Have a great day!

Hurricane Idalia

Hurricane Idalia is headed towards Florida..The water in the Gulf Of Mexico is supposedly 100⁰F. Hurricane food. All the rain we had the past week or so has been from Tropical Storm Idalia hanging out to our west. Now she’s moving on, gathering strength and speed.

We had a “red sky at morning, sailor take warning” this morning, and it’s windier than it’s been all week, but we should be drying out soon.

Good luck Florida!
