In no particular order...
- I cant believe it is almost September! This year has flown by!
- RIP Dolly Parton. I knew she had been sick but like other larger-than-life cultural icons, you never think they will actually die. :(
- Our sunrises are as pretty as our sunsets!
- Exactly half of our lemon tree is suddenly dead, no idea why :(
- We replaced all of the carpet upstairs with vinyl plank flooring last week (we did the downstairs a couple years ago). It should be cooler and easier to clean--not to mention it won't collect dust and dirt like carpet--but it takes a bit of getting used to on our feet. Also, hubby and I determined we are way too old and frail to be moving furniture these days.
- According to my work email (and meetings...and fire app), most of the west is on fire! eeekkk
- Speaking of disasters, September is National Preparedness Month. Here is a great daily calendar of preparedness tasks everyone should complete for the month.
- I can't believe that everywhere we go there is wall-to-wall Halloween advertising--the holiday is still a full two months away!
- Here is an interesting 'Almost Tariff-Proof' Grocery Guide.
- I'm thinking about retiring. I love my job so I am not in a hurry to retire but it suddenly dawned on me that I am nearing retirement age (how did that happen??? It seems like I was just 40 a year or so ago!). So I guess making a graceful exit from the world of work is something I should start planning for.
