Weekly Musings of the 11th

 

Wow, another week flying by again.  Hot, hazy and humid as well.  Although a few nights were below 20C so that was okay.  I find that I am great when it comes to the daytime heat as long as it goes below 20C and I can open my window while sleeping.  When it is too hot and I have to keep them closed, I am not a fan.  

This morning was very foggy during my morning walk so I was careful not to be on busy streets but walk some quiet neighbourhoods.  This picture is of a sunset on Wednesday, I just found the pink so pretty.  

We finally took the car in to get the lock fixed on the passenger door, it had disconnected from the other three and when locking the car it made a weird sound and only three doors locked and we had to do the old-fashioned way of pulling up or pushing down the lock.  Something we were not in a rush to fix because it could be handled although the noise was pretty loud and weird all the time.  

Been a pretty quiet week here and that was nice, lots of reading which I love.  Chatted with DD the 1st and it was nice to catch up.  She  has settled into their new place and it sounds like the boyfriend and her are doing well together.  

They really have similar tastes and their place is looking more and more like home to them.  

Hubby is taking advantage of the guest room now and we are slowly making it his room.  With his back, feeling cold most times and me feeling hot and moving a lot in my sleep (one time kneeing him really hard in the back) we were keeping each other from getting good night sleep.  He was most nights sleeping on the floor on a foam mattress and although that was working now, not too great for long term, who wants to get up and down from the floor when one is in their 80s.  We talked about it and decided to see about a really good mattress for his back (the one in the middle room is okay for now but will need replacing soon) and making the guest room more his room so that both of us can sleep well.  We discussed big projects for the future, not things that have to be done this year but within the next 3 to 5 years but this time we wrote them down.  Memory being what it is for both of us, it is nice to have them noted down.  You know that great thing about saying - I don't have to write it down, I will remember.  - Yeah right. 

It is right up there with -

Today I am off soon to get my short hair trimmed and boy am I loving this cut.  I don't have to use any hairspray, I don't even have to blow dry it if it is too hot outside and my hearing aids are not brushed by my hair which can be really annoying.  Looking forward to the trim. 

The book this week is another by new most favourite author.  New meaning I just discovered her. 

  

'Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder.

When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.

Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.'

Again, another really great read and really thought provoking.  This takes a part of the bible and through the author's imagination expands it and makes you think deeper on this event.  

Well, that was the week that was and I hope you had a nice one.  

Here is my usual ending funny - 

I really do have that skill now.
