It's Finally Summer!
I did call my dad yesterday. He is doing fine. It's getting harder to talk to him on the phone because he is going deaf. He has hearing aids in both ears now. The man is 94! It was good to hear his voice. He still sounds good. He's an amazing man.
Poor Mr. Man didn't get anything for Fathers Day. No card, no gift, no special meal, nothing. He was ok with it though. We had a nice weekend. Yesterday was a nice day for a change. It did warm up. Today is looking good too. So we did do all the laundry. It was surprisingly simple and painless. And now it's done. We had 3 gigantic bags of it. I don't know what these bags are used for, Mr. Man brought them home, but they are heavy duty and huge. It ended up costing like $30. I folded up all Mr. Mans stuff, because you know he has to look decent for work. Now I still have 2 huge bags to fold today.
After doing the laundry we went to Walmart for dirt and flowers. We got three bags of Miracle Grow potting soil and it turned out we only needed two. One bag each filled the pots. I bought two colours of impatiens, two shades of pink. They were six packs so three of each colour in each pot. Impatiens like shade and the pots are mostly in the shade. They are gorgeous when they thrive. I'm hoping they will thrive. We have a wooden bakers rack thing out on the balcony because we had nowhere else to put it. I also bought a hanging basket of pink petunias, took the hanger off and set the basket on the shelf. So yay I'm going to have some flowers this summer. I sure do miss my gardens though. It drives me crazy to think of all the money I spent on plants I now won't get to see. And I used to spend hours puttering, weeding and transplanting. Sigh. Its just not the same. Our balcony is pretty small as far as balconies go too. I don't have the room out there to have a big container garden. Oh well, it won't be forever. I have faith that I will one day have gardens again. What's scarey about that is I sold all my garden tools etc. We'd have to start all over again.
It's nice and sunny out there this morning. I believe it's supposed to be nice all week. I'm going to try to get things done today. Like folding all that laundry. And doing up the dishes which surprise surprise are accumulating. I bought the Visions cookware, not because I needed it but because I always wanted them and it was such a good deal. I looked it up online and just the big pot alone would have cost $60. So I did get a great deal, I mean they are like new. I also found a bunch of articles about how they can explode and break and stuff. Oh great. But with a little common sense it should be ok. But I really have nowhere to put them. My kitchen cupboard space is very limited. I'll figure it out, I'll have to squeeze them in.
SW is coming over for a coffee today. She hasn't seen the new place yet. It's still pretty chaotic. It's funny how we can just go about our life, living in this chaos. As long as the computer is hooked up I'm happy. With Mr. Man buying that old laptop this weekend we now have 2 desktops and 2 laptops. Crazy. I think we should dedicate next weekend to finishing the unpacking and making a home out of this chaos.
Ok I must go take the dog out. Have a great day.
