Thursday triple

I got a call from early this morning. It made my day and my husbands day. The call was , I didn’t have to go into work early. So with that. He went back to bed. I stayed up and read the newspaper. I didn’t get to finish the paper. So now I got to. Mike and I had a discussion of newspapers yesterday. How a lot of people go online now to read the newspaper. I told Mike I still like the printed word in my hand. I want a newspaper that I can turn the pages. I want to read a book that requires a bookmark to hold my place. I go into a bookstore. And I close my eyes and smile. I think of the next book I can buy. When I visit my public library. I close my eyes again when I sit in one of the chairs. Thinking of all the books I get to read. When I really like the book. I head to our bookstore to buy it. I want to own that particular book. And so it goes, part of my legacy will be she loved books. She really loved libraries and bookstores.

Cities in California San Francisco

 Looking up cities online in the United States. San Francisco, California is one of the most beautiful cities. Amazed at the homes there. Such nice places to visit in the area. 

All the museums there. The restaurants to visit after you do some shopping. Still checking out the area. I will update this blog later on. 

August ice cream

 As the summer months wind down, I take my dogs for a car ride. We went and got some ice cream last week. Today it was just a car ride. We traveled past the restaurants. They love the smell of the food cooking. We go past a park and they hear the kids playing. They see someone walking their dog. All of a sudden they want to go for a walk. So we come back home, they get a walk in their own yard. 

Hail in August

 Some crazy weird weather we are having. I’m having a great day at work. Then the rain hits and it’s a hard rain. It came from the west. It crushed my lilies that grew along the edge of my yard. I am praying that we don’t get rain because the food festival is here.

Cicadas in the yard

 I love the sound cicadas make when they are outside. I remember going to a park. I had a picnic supper there. After the meal. I just closed my eyes and listened to the cicadas. Then headed home. It was a good night.

Cool August morning

 Time for a teddy bear picnic later. Just enjoying the cool breeze.
