Weekly Musings of the 14th

 

Look at that, another week flew by.  This week on Tuesday I had a lovely chat with DD the 1st and this afternoon I will be having a chat with DD the 2nd and probably with the 3 GS saying hi as they move about being busy like all young boys do.  I do love being able to video chat with them, what a wonderful thing that came about with the internet and computers.  Sure, there are a lot of things that came about that were just evil but as in all things we humans bring about, there are some pretty nifty things too.

I, also after a chat with hubby went online to our phone provider and purchased another phone for hubby.  The leap of faith was that I will be able to transfer things when it gets here including the phone number he uses.  His phone is over 10 years old and unable to receive anything beyond just a basic text.  I figure best to get him with a new model and since mine is a bit newer get one for me a bit later.  

The week went along as most weeks do with me being the full time driver.  Which I don't mind but hubby is getting use to being a passenger.  I think it is more difficult for him to relax while someone else drives than it is for me to drive with a nervous passenger.  

Oh, and with the half done apartments a new thing was half done.


As you can see we still don't have any numbers on the doors but they decided to put up new lights above them.  These ones are so bright you could put your sunglasses on to just walk in the hallway.  

Some tenants shut those new lights off above their doors.  We don't bother with that kind of thing as what is beyond our home is the business of the building not ours.  I know electricity-wise the lighting is cheaper, which runs from the individual apartments, therefore it is part of the tenants electric bill. 

Fun thing about the new lights is that it really shows up how much the hall carpets need cleaning or replacing.  I wonder if that will come before or after the numbers. - LOL  


The book finished this week was this one.  You remember the part of the widow that put just two pennies in the collection and Jesus said she gave the greater because the others gave of their abundance and she gave all she had?  

This author imagined a story around just that moment and gave her a name and a full rich story that made you truly think about this moment in time.  Really well done.  

Lastly this week was Tigger's birthday (at least the one we guessed it might be considering she was barely 3 weeks old when we found her) 

She is 13 now and still working so hard to keep her humans trained properly.  


I think she is not only pondering her world but wondering why it takes us so long to do what she expects us to do - LOL.  

So that is it for me this week.  Time to get a move on to take a trip to the reserve and then back for a chat with DD the 2nd.  I love those weeks I get to chat to both girls.  Have a lovely weekend!
