Have you ever gone to a public bathroom and the only place to put your purse is in the dry clean sink? Well, yes, I did that. Then while peeing, the purse caused the automatic faucet to turn on...think about it!
Our driving lawn mower broke and Bob ordered parts and fixed it! Amazing. And now he's cutting the grass. But unfortunately, with the excitement of getting the lawn mower repaired, he forgot to kill the bees (or hornets) that have been thriving and growing all summer on our patio in a little spot by our window. So, today, yes, I got bit in two places, fortunately I'm not allergic. Ice, Benadryl, baking soda paste, but the worst is that I'll be with girl friends tomorrow and will not look amazing, because of course one spot was by my nose underneath my right eye.
But later in the evening, when he was spraying the hornet or bee nest, I watched from a distance, then walked back into the house RIGHT INTO the glass patio door. Thought I broke my nose, but maybe it's just bruised. Regardless, here come some natural black and blue hues.
Tomorrow I am going to see the Beach Boys and although they didn't bring the song "Barbara Ann" to the Billboard Charts, they did sing it and put it on their albums.
It's after the concert now...we chuckled through their effort on the first 2 songs, (after all, they are in their 70's) and then with the help of some young band members, they all kicked it into gear and played every song we remember, even "Barbara Ann". It was a gorgeous evening, great snacks and girlfriends, a full moon, and the sound of fireworks in the distance. Bonus: We were not the oldest in the crowd this time!
Next up...grandchildren visiting, camping, Jimmy Buffet, and let the (football) games begin.
