A Very Lazy Day

July 19, 2020

Good morning.  Gosh, I do believe I slept a speck late.  I'm not apologizing.  It felt good.  Some days I just can't get up with the rest of the world.  So I stay snoozing until Pogo wakes up, then I get up and make breakfast.  

How is everyone handling the heat?  I'm staying indoors.  Today I only have to go outside long enough to change the food bottle on the hummingbird feeder.  No cooking.  I'll make a sandwich and fruit for lunch and supper will be a bowl of cereal.  And ice cream, of course.  

Yesterday, I was browsing the web and I came across an image that brought back so many memories from my younger days.  Best friends are really smart people.  My best friend back then was Ginny May.  She pointed out to me the fact that the more upset I was, the quieter I got.  I hadn't realized it, but she was right.  It was best to leave me alone when I was quiet.  This image is so me.  (It's good to know that other folks are this way too.)


I've actually been watching a few movies lately.  Normally I don't watch very many movies.  (except at Christmas time)  Lifetime channel has some good family movies though, and the other night I watched "Stolen By My Mother."  What a good movie!  Very moving.  

I did some research on Google to find a shop that will install a new battery in my cell phone.  However, instead I found a lot of reasons why my phone should be replaced with a newer version.  My phone is three years old, which seems to be the end of its quality life.  That's really kind of sad.  Our cell phones are very expensive, so I think they should have a longer quality life.  

I know there are cheaper phones out there, but I want my phone to take quality photos.  Therefore I have to stay within the more expensive phones.  I guess it's time for me to start checking around for the best prices on the newer phones.  

Recently I found a new baby blanket pattern online.  It's close to the pattern I use for my afghans, but the stitch is smaller and done in the back loops of the stitches.  I used to make my afghans using this type of stitching.  I'm thinking I'd like to make one of these baby blankets.  Hmmm, another new project to sneak in between my bigger projects?  


Now I think I'd best get started on this new day.  It's already lunch time.  No, I'm not going to eat lunch just yet.  But I do want to get to my blog reading.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

It's HOT 😎🌞here too this weekend, Edna, and aside from a trip to the local farmers market this morning, it's a definite inside day. You would most likely be better to get a new phone rather than a new battery for an old phone, depending on cost and whether it's affordable. There's never the need to apologize for sleeping late as it's become even more enjoyable these days when we really have no where special to go, aside from the grocery store or an appt, which thankfully is not that often aside from this week.

Love the baby afghan. It's hot, hot, hot here, too, and I just took a quick walk -- two blocks -- to Dunkin to redeem by birthday coffee. Otherwise I'm grateful for air conditioning and television and stayed in. Keep cool, too!

Love that sweet baby afghan. I am staying in when I can. It is miserably hot here too AND humid! I get quiet too and that's when everyone should worry:) Enjoy your day dear friend, trying to get back to the normal "after vacation" life! HUGS!

I think the phone manufacturers intentionally make it difficult and/or expensive to repair phones, so we'll but the newer model. It's "planned obsolescence." Which is a shame, because as you said, they'd probably last longer than their expected lifetime -- and why fill up landfills and recycling centers with old phones that still (more or less) work?

What a sweet baby in the crocheted blanket. I Love that pattern. So pretty.
Eureka! I fixed my problem again at my second blog. Oh Lord, I feel so silly. So many folks were coming to the second blog instead of my main one. Unsure how to fix it but I will be making the comment rounds for a few days. Hahaha!
You are so cheerful and I love that!
HUGS xo
