Saturday

Well, we were blessed with two nice rains yesterday. In the morning and early afternoon we received a steady rain. When it stopped I checked my Coach Fisher gauge and it registered an inch. I dumped it but over the evening it rained. I walked down early to see how much— another half inch. We’re still way behind. It’s was cooler yesterday so I made vegetable soup. I’ll have it again today.

Greta has her first basketball game with her travel team today. She may be playing the 5 stop. She’s 5’10” now in stocking feet. She is probably the tallest girl. Two girls one grade up are playing~~ twins. They are point guards and have picked her up in their car and dropped her off afterwards for practice. I know she feels grown up. Greta loves laying in the sun. I always loved it too. Wonder if sun loving is an inherited trait. 

I have a new trait in my dna file.  It’s about fashion. When I saw it I chuckled to myself. I knew I wasn’t fashionable.  I looked at Laura’s and she was very trendy. Poor Erin was a dud like me. Some of my fashion likes are— loose clothes, old clothes. My favorite color is brown! I never liked makeup. My hair looks like a cap on my head!  It’s a wonder I ever found a husband. He stayed with me 49 years too! What a wonderful man.

I’m easily amused. The terrapin was eating something after yesterday’s rain. I thought it was a slug! Do turtles eat slimy slugs. If I see one on my porch, I sprinkle salt on it. How cruel. Once my heat and air was tore up by slugs. They got in a connection box and shorted it out. My heat and air tech told me to get rid of any I see. I have made head way. Maybe the terrapins are pest getters! I like watching them. They ate fascinating 🧐.
