A Pleasant Saturday Afternoon

August 7, 2016

Good morning.  It's almost daybreak, but I've been up for about an hour.  I figured as long as I wasn't sleeping, I may as well get up and do a few things while it is cool.  Right now I have a pot of pasta cooking.  This will make a tasty supper later in the day.  The last time I made sauce, I made extra and froze it.  Later, that will be very tasty on the pasta.

Yesterday, I went to watch Jazzy perform in Annie Jr.  Jazzy played Grace Farrell, Oliver Warbucks' secretary.  It was a delightful show, and I enjoyed it very much.  This is the only shot I was able to get during the show.  They requested no photos be taken.  (Because of the flash, but I did not use flash)  Jazzy is on the left, then Annie, then Mr. Warbucks.


Here's a photo collage of Jazzy from inside the program.  Needless to say, we are all very proud of our Jasmine.


Later in the afternoon, we were expecting some thunder storms to come through so Pogo and I got comfy on the porch to cool off and watch the storm.  Did I say storm?  I suppose someone somewhere got it, but we only got some clouds, a few breezes and a handful of raindrops.  It lasted all of almost one whole minute. 

Here's a photo of the pretty silky flowers that I bought to dress up my little porch area.  They are such happy colors.


Yesterday, I got a call from my friend Beth (from Texas).  She is in the hospital, and hopefully will be allowed to go home later today or tomorrow.  Get well soon Beth. 

While I was on the phone with Beth, I noticed a hummingbird flying around my little porch, looking for food.  So, after I got home from the play, I went to Ocean State Job Lot and bought a new hummingbird feeder.  While Joe put up a hanger to hang the new feeder from, I made up a bottle of sugar water to fill the feeder.  Now I'm hoping that these beautiful little birds will be back.

Now I need to get back to the kitchen and check on my pasta.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

That Jasmine is becoming a real Pro in musicals will she be trying to make a living of it or will it always be a hobby?
Those decoration flowers look great on your porch wall, real ghappy colors and I also hope the hummingbirds will come feeding
Yesterday we had a rather cloudy day with lots of wind, that settled down a bit in the afternoon, and became more again in the evening
Today also some clouds, may be rainshower, here and there sun, temperature around 20-21C.
In the afternoon Jan and i will clear the are in the kitchen where the new boiler will come. It isn;t a lot of work, but has to be done. May be good opportunity to clean all that is standing there before putting it back.
By the way, I loved the story of the cab driver. Did it really happen?
Well, true or not, it is a heart warming story and brings us back to basics of life for a moment.
I think that sometimes this kind of humanity is forgotten about, and it is so important
Have a great day,
Hug
