Mixed Bag

Last week, I sent this pic to my son, asking if he could come and pick - the ones on the bush to the right ... Saturday, he came and I was surprised at the small size of the berries in the bucket. He didn't seem too enthused about them. I asked if he had gotten the berries from the last bush on the right. No, he just picked what was closest to the house ... Sigh.

Even at a distance a person can tell where the good ones are.

 We had a cooler morning on Monday, I went out and picked half a bucket for the freezer. The rollator is a dandy, goes over the lumps and holes in the yard like it is on pavement! It guess it pays to get a good one. DH has his uncle coming in the morning to pick more, as the bushes on the left are now ripening like crazy.

DH said that Uncle Jimmy is going to marry someone in a few days. I did a double take, wondering what happened to his aunt. It seems that his uncle is officiating, lol! He knew he would get me with his statement! Jimmy is an old duffer like me ...

 DH was planning on taking the red car out, but it was out of gas. He needs to have the gas tank taken off and have a new whatsy put in, so he knows how much gas he has. I've named the car Scarlet Charlotte. Seems as good a name as any.

Losing more words, it's so irritating! It's even worse when I'm excited. I must sound like a babbling idiot on the phone. At least when I write, I have some time to think of the lost word. Ruth, bless her heart, has the patience of a saint when it comes to our 2 - 3 hour conversations at night.

 Matt, one of my original o2 handlers, brought my tank out today. I asked him honestly, how long it was going to take ... He said I would probably be here next year. He sees many like me all the time, he would know, but seriously I hope he is wrong. Matt had all of his teeth pulled and his mouth looks so sore. He's waiting for his gums to heal before he gets his teeth. I hope that all goes well for him. My new teeth were such a disappointment.

Youngest son bought me the first season of a show I never heard of. It's called Dollhouse. I still haven't finished Firefly yet. It is nice to have something come in the mail besides bills and pills though, not knocking it. Ha Ha.

That's it for now, it's still basically calm around here, but working its way up to being busy. Have a good day on the morrow!

Hot!

DH has gone shopping, so I am going to watch some of the shows I have recorded for just this type of situation. I'm going to start with the new Roots. He has been playing the wii - golf of all things. Playing it hard. Early in the morning, late at night, you name it. He really gets into it.

I looked at some more series and tv movies on Amazon - most of what I would like to watch is on streaming, or it's too pricey for my blood. Don't they realize that there are loads of us people with a limited amount of use? I would use up all my time ... Sigh. I came to the realization that I don't like comedy. Not series anyway. Not the half hour, condensed to 20 minutes of people acting like idiots or writers making tired punchlines. So ... I didn't order anything.

Have been checking on what the Comet will need. We've been told that when the car was in the paint shop, somebody stole a lot of the chrome. Um, sure. We can't insure it for the full amount because of the missing chrome and whatever else is gone. :-( I won't dwell on it, some will show up - or not.

Well, I'm off to my recliner, a soda, and a sandwich (Also some Halvah, carrot cake, and whatever I can find in the kitchen. Have a great day!
