TGIF

When you are retired, everyday is a Friday 

    Or a Monday.  Or Saturday.  You pick.

    When Julia moved she told us to make sure Beth gets fed and let out early.

    Well, we woke up at 9:15 today!  Beth was still asleep!

    But I got all the morning things done, getting Jackie up, getting Beth breakfast, reading the paper, getting ready for the day and doing a load of laundry.

    Jackie packed up the rest of Easter and read the directions for lemon cookies, which I made.

    After laundry, dishes, picking up we headed for DeKalb, where we used the Portillo's Perk app to score a free roast beef sandwich.  We also needed to go to Target for a couple of things because the local WM does not carry them , for some reason.

    I stopped for a Starbucks and we got Beth a puppy chino.  But she was bashful and would not show her face to the people in the drive up window.  So when she was done, I took her out of the car and showed her to the folks in Sycamore.

    I went to use my vacuum and it does not work.  I don't know why, obviously.  It was in the charger,  the filter is clean, but I suspect the battery is dead.  So, can I order a new battery?  Or is it the charging unit??  Should I just buy a new vac?  I really like this one, but it's a Dyson and fairly expensive.  On the other hand, I need a vacuum.

    We have a corded one which I will have to use for now.  But it is heavy and awkward.  My ancient body prefers the lighter one without a cord I can (and have) trip over.

    Not sure my neighbor will be talking to me.  He is a Brewers fan and I think he went to the game tonight.  After the grand slam and a solo homer gave the Cubs a 9-0 lead I texted him and asked if he was enjoying the game.

    I have not heard back.

    And Julia sent me some pictures of the group at Charlie's in Vevey.  It looks like a beautiful night, with beautiful people, in a beautiful place.

    Sigh....... I miss the mountains and the lake.  And the people.

    Someday, maybe again.

Peace and Love
