I got up early, walked Danny and then watered the flowers and plants that are outside. It was hot already but most of the plants were still in the shade. It was 80 degrees at 6am. Actually, it was 76 here but Wilmington reported 80. They were predicting it to be 100 today. I don’t know if it reached that or not. I went shopping. I got a few things at Home Depot. I went there for two items, an under counter light and some wood filler. I came out with them and some goop and a touch dimmer kit for one of my bedroom lamps. I replaced one of them several years ago. I don’t know if it is the same lamp or not.
Next stop was Big Lots. They were having a sale on under-the bed plastic bins. I thought I’d get a couple but they looked smaller than the one I have and I didn’t think my Christmas wreaths would fit in it. I got one. I figured I’d take the stuff out of the one I have here and put the wreath in it and the stuff in the new one. I also found some hot pink bath rugs that I had been looking for. The ones I have in Vineland have their backing disintegrating and I don’t want to get the backing all over the washing machine. It’s a shame because the top part of the rugs looks great except they need to be washed. The hot pink goes with my hot pink towels and I will use them in my 2nd bathroom when I get moved in here.
Next stop was the Acme for food. I needed the basics; milk, bread, ice cream. I got a few more things that were on sale for $1.00. My menu for the week is planned around dollar items. They even have lunchmeat for $1.00.
While eating lunch, my sister-in-law, Sylvia, called and said they were going to my nephew, Rick’s house to go in the pool. They weren’t sure whether they’d go to the pool or stay in the air conditioning. I said I’d meet them there. I waited for about a half hour before I left so we’d get there about the same time. The pool was like a hot tub but was cooler than the air. The water was well over 80 degrees maybe 85. We had a nice swim. Danny wants noting to do with the pool. He steers clear of it. He is not a water dog.
It is really nice to be near family and visit with them more often than when I’m in Vineland.
