Over 60 and still working/Sunday

Going to be another very hot day today. 

I'm so glad that when we had our built ipn beautiful wooden custom bookcases built (by a librarian/cabinet maker) almost 25 years ago we got them very adjustable and got some extra shelves. I'm weeding the book collection and also setting up shorter shelving for our remaining DVD's and VHS tapes intershelved.  Now we can see all of our videos in one place in alpha order.

Good morning Michelynn and ATF,

I understand what you mean by being able to rearrange, or even repurpose. We have our DVD's organized by movie type, DGK friendly, mysteries, comedy, etc.

I made zucchini bread last night. The recipe I have had for years makes two loaves so I got 7 mini ones, we enjoyed one and the others are in the freezer.

Found out last night that Taco Bell has a 10% senior discount. I didn't ask they just deducted it.

DD and family are coming home for a short visit this week. They will arrive tomorrow evening and staying til Thurs. morning. It will be short but sweet.

We don't have anything planned for today so I imagine we will go out for lunch and make a stop at Target which is our usual routine....very predictable. I do need to go through the school ads in today's paper and see what if there are any good deals. Our school supply fund is up and running again this year......but with a very limited budget.

BBL,
Peg

Good morning Michelynn, Peg, and all, and happy Sunday all around.

It's my birthday (shhhh!) so I slept in, DH brought me coffee and is making breakfast. No plans other than to go to our favorite Italian place, Mom and Dad's, and overeat.  We will probably finish watching "Stranger Things" on Netflix, which we started last night.

Happy birthday Meryenne! Many more happy healthy ones. Enjoy today.
Funny that everyone is reorganizing. We have huge built in bookshelves in the extra bedroom upstairs and I am getting rid of so many books. Many are school books that are hopelessly outdated. Others are old paperbacks and hardback novels that haven't been picked up in years. I have and love an ereader now so aside from a few we'll keep, out they go! DH is upstairs packing them up now. I have rows and rows of cookbooks, yet I rely on a very few for certain things--with the internet being my go to recipe finder now.
Hot as can be here. Walked with DH for an hour this morning, then going to zumba at the Y shortly. Reading the papers until it's time to babysit DGD and DGS later.
Have a good day.

Good morning everyone

It is hot here and I am struggling to get going. I did take the dog for a short walk so she is OK.
We had an enjoyable book group yesterday and welcomed my DGD back from Japan. She brought us all various kinds of notebooks and paper supplies. They are very popular there and my family is involved with writing and painting in the lovely papers. My DD does a watercolor painting every day. Most of them are writing, keeping various journals.

You are all so good about cleaning out books, etc. It is on my long term plan, but I haven't got there yet.

Have a great Sunday

Good afternoon friends.
We escaped the heat for a while and went to our town beach. The breeze is refreshing! I need to go through my books, too. There are so many of them. DH and I need to get rid of our older professional books and we need to go through our private collections as well. The local libraries will take the books for their collections or rolling book sales. The transfer station in my sister's town has a "leave and take" book trailer. I hope I can resist the "take" part! I just need to get started on this task. I need to replace one of our older bookcases so this is a perfect time to glean.
Salad and sandwich for dinner tonight. I am not thrilled about cooking in this heat!
Have a great day. Lynn
