A Whole Bunch Of Stuff

Huge surprise for Mothers Day,

thanks to Ben and Helene.

A new tv with Roku and lots of bells 

and whistles. It took some doing on my 

part to get it installed along with 

the sound bar I already had, but I DID IT!

I  know many of you have mega tvs

 but to me this is mega and just fits.

Old tv ( I think Hannah was in HS when I bought)

was so heavy- that may have been hardest part.

It has only made it to the garage so far.

I also got an enormous dinner, a favorite,  

via cheesecake factory

 from Hannah which lasted

 me three meals and 

included the most 

amazing brussel sprout appetizer.

Over the next couple days I got more goodies

in the mail.

I've got great kids.

Walter had his first bath yesterday.

At first I thought it was going to be big trouble,

but he settled down fairly quickly.

He's now fluffy and clean.

He needed a bath because he has been 

helping me get a vegetable garden going.

I am starting so late but there 

are things I can do now and then ramp up 

in the fall.

I found a great raised DIY planter on sale.

A whole passel of screws but easy to do.

It even came with the black liner.

So today Walter and I spent hours getting it ready and 

planting some tomatoes I ordered on line

in an unused area of the yard. 

Bought this paint by number painting to keep 

me distracted and I got a nice supply of books 

from blogger friend Jane- you all know her

as Blondie.  Thank you Jane!

I really, really miss the library

 and she was so kind to send me some 

of hers to read. During the sale in Oct, I 

donated 400 to my library

 fearing a move was imminent. hmmm?

 A Place To Call Home has ended,

I'm caught up on Dead To Me and Maisel.

Binged The Ranch on Netflix

Not highbrow by any means, but I liked it.

Sunday night is now my tv night

Call the Midwife

Killing Eve

Run

and now I'm watching on a cool modern tv.

Baked some oatmeal cookies last night.

Oh yeah,  he's a runner and a thief.

Stay safe, stay home as much as possible

and stay well.
