Good EARLY Morning. Very HUMID outside and looks like it wants to rain. But most likely is just early. It's suppose to be in the 80's today and nice.
DAVE: We have a Lawn Ornament TURTLE that Jill gifted us with one year that has huge GREEN Reflective EYES. I swear no matter how you place this thing in the flower beds it looks like it's staring right at you. I'll have to snap a picture of it one of these day and post it on here. (I know how you all love pictures)
LEE: So was it anything real important in the MISSING PKG? I always fear that my MEDS from Express Scripts Insurance will get delivered to the neighbor on the next street over with the same "Numbers" as ours. The nice old man that lived at that address, Mr Wells, has passed away and I did go down the year the new couple moved in and explained there would be times I got their MAIL and the would get MY mail. And how Mr Wells and myself use to "Re-Deliver" it to the each other. They seemed like they would do that.
I should be getting about 6 refills next Tuesday, so I'll see if they come to the correct address or not.
The mail is so pitifully slow lately you have to think ahead by a week when mailing things out.
Karen: Do you get Netflix? I started watching a new Series someone from church mentioned to me was good. It's called VIRGIN RIVER. It's not a deep movie series, but it's something to watch right now while most TV series are in RE-RUNS.
Hope that Betty's desk gets sold. I have a front foyer rug that I should try and sell on our neighborhood watch site.
Speaking of neighborhood watch sites. I got a memo that this EMPTY LOT attached to our bank has been sold. GET THIS: Meijer's bought it. Now we all know how HUGE Meijer's stores are. The dang blasted township is going to have us all going nuts over this project. It's in the middle of a nice neighborhood area. Right on 24 Mile Rd and the other 2 lane street called Hayes. How we will EVER get out of our subs once this thing is built will be like a miracle. It's CRAZY as all get out now. Seems like they had a notice about the land and variances requests during the pandemic and it didn't get posted like it usually did since they did the meeting ONLINE with ZOOM. This land has been empty for the 30 some years we have lived here. The thought of a big grocery store, that we DO NOT NEED this close is crazy. We have a Kroger's and a different Meijer's every 2 miles in any direction already. It's OVER-KILL. Getting out of our subdivision will for sure require going to the traffic light 2 subs away. Crazy.
Okay, I have nothing more to add this morning.
I need to start chopping some veggies and boil some potatoes for the Potato Salad I'm making for the "FATHERS DAY" lunch tomorrow. It's going to be real simple. Nothing like PAT's big spreads. Ha Ha.
I am going to to try and marinate a Skirt Steak and grill it up for "Street Taco's". You make them in small 4" flour taco's. And I bought a small Ham to slice up too.
Birthday cake is bought for the "Birthday Part of the Day".
So now we just have to hope for good weather.
I managed to use some OVEN CLEANER on 2 grates that were rather NASTY with burnt on grease. They look very nice now. They will go over the the BBQ Grates that are rusted and basically falling apart. I'd never put anything directly on those grates now.
I went to our ACE Hdwe yesterday to see about this one SMALL BBQ Grill I had seen there and of course it was SOLD. So that's why I bought the Oven Cleaner stuff and cleaned up the 2 extra grates to use. Seems like everybody is buying NEW GRILLS these days and the stock is like down to nothing.
Same thing goes for new BIKES. We were in our local bike store a few weeks ago and a place that usually has at least 200 bikes up and down the aisles and hanging from the ceiling racks had about 50 bikes. They told us that the companies just can't find people to WORK and make bikes these days. They all make more money staying home and collecting the government funds. Sure feel bad for all the small independent Mom & Pop shops these days.
Have a fantastic day my friends. Before we know it snow will be flying again. BE back later.
