Tuesday's Treks

I went to sleep earlier than normal last night and slept longer than I had in quite a while. I watered the vegetables and herbs in the back yard and the hanging fuchsia basket on the front porch. Then I made myself an egg sunny side up and also an egg beater omelet sandwich with a veggie sausage patty.

Then I picked up the kitchen rugs, shook them out, swept the kitchen floor and then mopped it. Kathleen came downstairs while I was mopping the floor and she decided to put the rugs into the washer and also the downstairs bath room rugs.

I went into the living room with my coffee and read the paper and then the mail; there was not a lot there that was worth keeping so most of it went into the recycling bin. After a while I went out back and pulled some weeds and dug out some of the Italian prune tree that I cut down last spring.

Digging out the sucker has become a daily task, I am not sure how come there are so many this year; the only thing I can think of is that since the tree is gone the roots are sending up new starts. They are kind of annoying because unlike weeds they are stiff and hurt when one walks on them, so I have to dig down and get as much as the root as possible.

After I came in I put the rugs into the drier and then I had a peach and a nectarine for lunch and then changed my clothes as Kathleen wanted to go to Walgreens, to Eye Health Northwest to get her glasses put back together, and then to a couple other places. On the way home we stopped and got gas for her SUV, and again this time the price of gas was down again...I like that trend.

We did not get home until about 1745 and Kathleen after putting her things away started making dinner...salmon! I could have that every night of the week and not get tired of it.

While waiting for dinner to finish I got the rugs out of the drier and put them back down in there appropriate places. Dinner was really good, too bad that there was no more salmon than there was, it would have been nice to have leftovers for some other meal.

Well, it seems like we spent a lot of time shopping, we did not spend a lot of money, which is a good thing, that will probably happen tomorrow when we go to Costco. With that said, I think I will call it a day and say good night!
