Weekly Musings of the 15th

 

So another week flew by and I blinked and nearly missed it - LOL.  Well, I did get to meet up with my girlfriend and catch up once more.  We usually meet at the Gibbled Goose almost halfway between us but since they didn't have A/C we decided to try another place in the same town - Swazzee.  Funny thing was as we had decided this a notice came up in my FB feed that the Gibbled Goose had sold their business and is closing their doors today.  That was a surprise but I do find that many people that opened a family business when they get to the age of retirement their children really don't want to take the business on and so the only thing one can do is sell up the business and close down.  

We did have a lovely meal at Swazzee and are happy that this can be our go-to place and that their fries and gravy are the kind that my sister will like when she comes to visit.  BFF and I caught up on all our interesting stuff and musings, usually it takes only about 20 minutes or so to enjoy the meal and 2 hours to 3 hours to chat about everything.  

The same day was Tigger's 12th birthday. 

So on the way home I picked up a DQ cake which she loves to share with hubby.  He has a way of sharing a spoon with her that keeps her from getting too much of a good thing.  

She was a pretty content old lady, 12 years being 64 in cat years.  She was named Tigger for her bouncyness when she was young but that has gone a bit by the wayside now.  She use to jump halfway up a wall to reach the red dot, I don't think she can manage any big jump now.  

She does love to sleep holding her favourite toy we call her Eboo, it is stuffed with cat nip inside which I can change for fresh as it gets stale.  After her birthday cake she was happy to have a nap with it. 

The next day we took our drive to the reserve to fill up the car and for other purchases.  I love to check out the gas prices on the way - the most expensive was $1.39.9 per litre, the next in the town close to the reserve was $1.29.9 and finally at our favourite place on the reserve was $1.11.1 per litre.  Filling our little car only costs $25.00 each month so very much worth the drive there and back.  

The heat has finally lifted in the night which is wonderful.  Still hot during the day but at least we can easily open the windows at night and let cooler air in.  

Last week I told you about the 2 book series that I really hope goes to many more which started with Jonah.  

Once more the author does an amazing job telling the story of Elijah.  I just enjoyed reading every page. 

'Elijah: Fire from Heaven is a cinematic, faith-filled novel that brings one of the Bible’s most powerful stories to life—Jezebel’s palace intrigue, betrayal, miracles, and a battle between light and darkness.

“Barbera brings the prophet Elijah to life with intensity and depth. This isn’t just a biblical tale—it’s a sweeping historical narrative that reads like a movie. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended for fans of biblical fiction and epic storytelling.”'

Just as it says above in the blurb written on Amazon, I couldn't put it down either.  Just another great read.

I really do hope that there are more books coming in this series. 

And so that was it for me this week and here comes another weekend ahead and I wish you all a great one!
