Saturday...

 Good morning. Let's hope that Blogger has figured out the issues with posting comments, sigh.

Time...7:15 am

Weather...77* and real feel 91*. 70% chance of rain after 12. The weather has been so unpredictable and the usual thunderstorms between noon-8 pm.

Because...of the weather being so unpredictable and just so humid, we will NOT be going to the beach. It can wait...how awful it is us to wanting a storm (hurricane) to blow in and just get rid of all this nasty humidity. Of course, we won't be saying this if and when it happens, LOL.

Knowing...he really wants to really work on the backdoor deck. I can't even begin to tell you how unsafe it is. He goes, "You're going to be my right-hand man, today, right?" LOLOLOL was my response...I also said, "You better get that green pool cleared up, because this girl ain't working outside without that pool."

he did get the pallets torn apart and
 stacked, ready to start the project.

All this rain we have had, has turned the pool green. Sorry forgot to take a photo of the emerald, green pool before he dumped the chemicals in it.

Went to... Ollie's yesterday morning and got the required pool chemicals. All this rain and humidity have been just awful. It cleared up a bit, and we did get to swim yesterday afternoon, then of course the rain hit yet again, and it turned green again. So, he dumped more chemicals in last night. I haven't been out yet to take a look. He also let the pump run all night. He assures me it will be ready for me, LOL (dang it, he truly expects me to work out in this nastiness, LOL).

Also, got haircuts and went to Publix. Sure, did get cupcakes, you know it. LOL---You know what I like about Publix? It is like you walk in and everyone knows your name. Oh wait, they do. LOL-I told hubby perhaps when I do retire, I will get a parttime job here. Little did I know the store manager was walking around and he goes, "We would welcome you, Mrs. Conley." Well, then. LOL

Reading...yes, I am actually reading a book.

Have you ever wanted...to just take off and live in a van? I wish I was that brave to just quit the job, vlog (if I ever had anything interesting to say, lol) and live like this. The Scottish Man in a Van:

With talk...lots of talk...I think the both of us have just had enough of the rising costs of home insurance and property taxes. The thought hit both of us, 'Why are we paying property taxes? Renting the property to the government?" It seems like a colossal scam on the American people. Just our thoughts. It seems that is the topic as of late: taxes.

Thinking...food for thought...are we the only ones that think that way? Just wondering.

Speaking of food...tonight's dinner will be Lasagna Soup and rolls. Yes, even on 100* days.

What else? Hmm...think I covered it all. LOL---truly, there is not much going on here. Wishing you all a beautiful day.

Thursday Photo Recap...

 Hey, it's Friday! Looks to be another rain day.

try 100* lol

So, let me do a Thursday recap...

--Hubby came in yesterday morning around 9 and said he was done working outside due to the extreme humidity. Even jumped in the pool to cool off. It has been so humid here, more so than usual, so it seems. So, he said he wanted to head down to the Villages in Oxford as we haven't been down there in a couple of months. I say "down" there-its only 20 min. from where we presently we live. They are putting up new subdivisions, condos, apartments etc...and it is in a different county than ours and we have discussed moving down there-taxes are way cheaper. The Marion County housing market is way too much for us. Sigh and that folks, is the truth.

--1st stop was our favorite antique place. We love this place; the owners are wonderful and they always remember us and they like to have real conversations with their customers, yesterday was no exception. Another couple who are sick of the cost of living etc. Hubby did buy a Zippo lighter, he collects them. No reason, he doesn't smoke. But he rehabs them, cleans them and puts them on his shelf. This all started when he was in the Marines. He has hundreds of all kinds of Zippo Lighters. Yes, even a Playboy one.

not me, I got the photo off the internet
 and that is one of the owners.

--Second stop was the thrift store and didn't buy anything. 

--Third stop was Marshalls where my eye spotted Halloween plates/decor. They were so cute. I didn't buy any.

Even hubby thought they were pretty cool. I will admit I might have gotten a little giddy over these. I did buy and stock up on my favorite facial cream Altaire that I had ran out of last month and they are usually $30 at a department store, and at Marshalls, since they are remodeling the store, they marked it down to $4.50-so I put all 3 boxes in my cart and hubby goes, "Now, that is smart." Also, my Paul Mitchell shampoo and hair products were on sale as was my Cetaphil, score...and I only spent a total of $36. On that note, there is this new thing going around and I noticed these items too, Korean Glass Skin Regime and Snail Cream. I simply can't put snails on my face--or even the thought of it. Just saying.

took the photo when I got home. Because of sensitive skin
 and burn scars on my face, I use Cetaphil.

Ok...By this time, it was like 1:00 and we were hungry. We had no plans whatsoever to really stop to eat because I wanted pizza for dinner...and I had remembered there was a NYPD Pizza nearby. So...

--Fourth stop...NYPD PIZZA, we have never been there and we were not disappointed. Boy, this pizza bought back memories of pizza back in NY.

You can get slices and the slices were huge and hubby suggested we bring home a supreme pizza. I am such a cheap date, $32 for lunch/take home pizza. Hey, it pays to be a senior citizen now. LOL

So, then we headed home because it was so hot, humid and it was thundering pretty good...why in the world do they make roundabouts in rural areas? It is beyond me. Sumter County just finished doing this...crazy.

No sooner than we got through the roundabout, it started pouring. 

Our last stop was Tractor Supply to pick up some items for Ms. LilyBelle who is suffering from an ear infection, her poor ear...I waited in the truck. I was so not getting out in that thunderstorm.

Yes folks, rain and sunny. That is Florida for you. It could be raining on one side of the road and not the other. Yep. 

Well, friends...that is it...and probably enough TMI for the day. Wishing you all a beautiful day.
