A PERFECT DREARY DAY

Today it was dreary with a drizzle type rain all day, only about 55 degrees.

No picture of the Rhododendron today, too wet to get a good shot.

I had a really nice day today. My daugther was on her last day off before she had to go back to CT tomorrow. so I drove to her house about 10 and we went to the bank to deposit her income tax returns then we went to the nail salon and she had a pedicure and a fill on her acrylic nails and I had a new set of white tips put on with a gel over them. They look really nice. I have to confess that I do have to have fake nails. Not because I enjoy going there every two and half to three weeks and spending the money to have my nails look nice but because I have a bad habit of pulling at the dry cuticles around my nails, so much so that I make them bleed. It is a very bad habit, worse even than biting. But if I have any kind of nail tips applied the tips are not sharp enough to grab the dry skin so my cuticles always look good.

Then my daughter and I went to the mall. I wanted to exchange a Coach bag that I bought right before I went to Florida in March and I never used it. It was a sling bag. A bag that you wear over your shoulder and across our chest. Ideal for shopping because you don't have to worry about a shoulder bag falling off your shoulder and you don't have s hold bag and carry a bag around when you are shopping. I had a sling bag that I liked better then the new one I bought. So we went to the Coach store and I brought the sling bag back and exchanged it for a bigger bag.

What do you think?



I always have a problem buying flip flops that fit me. I have a wide foot and usually the thing between my toes is usually too tight. Today I lucked out and found a pair at DSW in the mall. I am very happy I HAVE FLIP FLOPS!!!

Have you every seen that show on TLC called Hoarders? Well we have one of those people living on our block. She has stuff piled up in front of every door and window in the house. A pool in the back yard full of debris and dead animals and bushes and trees and grass over grown on the property. She has an abandoned camper parked on the side of the house full of stuff and two abandoned cars that are full of stuff also. The neighbors on each side of her have been trying to years to get someone to do something about it Well something was done today. I got a call from my next door neighbor about noon. She said that the power company was there to shut down the electricity and the city workers were there hauling out the camper and nailing a condemned sign her front door. The city told her she cannot go back in he house. We live within the city limits but in an area up on a hill overlooking the city that is somewhat suburban. Very nice neighbor of old Victorians. This type of situation must being going on in neighborhoods all over the country just like ours and I bet no one even knows. I am sure because the mess was spilling out of her house onto her front porch and in her abandoned vehicles is why it was brought to the attention of the authorities.
