I hope you are able to celebrate with your father today. Dad, passed away back in 1991. Awhile ago I went to the cemetery where he and Mum are, picked up the silk flower arrangement as it needed to be replaced. I am currently making a new "saddle" arrangement to put on their headstone.
So, what have I been up to this week,
June 7, Saturday
After doing some housework, I went to a local village for their yearly Rhubarb Festival, it's more like a fair than anything else. Rides for children, food trucks, crafters tents selling everything from soup to nuts, and of course, rhubarb pies, crumbles, jams and rhubarb drinks. Prizes for the biggest leaf, longest stem etc. After returning home a friend and I went for a nice walk.

Another sunny day and too nice to stay inside, so I drove to a camp ground where my family used to camp on weekends many years ago. I knew some friends still had their camp spot there so went to see if there were there, unfortunately they were not. Went down to the yacht club just to look at the lake, which was very calm that day. It was still too nice to come home so just drove down side roads to make my way home. Note to self take camera when out like this.
June 9, Monday
Laundry and did a deep clean in thee bathroom and kitchen, they need it once in awhile don't they. It was a very windy day with a mix on sun and cloud, after dinner I went for a walk.
June 10, Tuesday
Another nice day, we are on a roll. I drove to see my ex and then had dinner, showers on the way home.
June 11, Wednesday
Had lunch with two friends who I worked with way back when. One is currently having treatments for cancer and the other has skin cancers that are constantly being removed, I feel very fortunate. We had a nice lunch, and good natter which put the world to right.
June 12 Thursday
Stayed home and did some sewing,
June 13, Friday
My two daughter's said, " Mum, don't leave the House today". Why... last year on June 13th was the day I had my accident in Sweden, and today being Friday the 13th. I am not superstitious, so I went out with two quilting friends to an Art Show and we had a lovely lunch together and then visited a very nice book shop. Also, went up to the happy hour in the lounge. So I survived the day with no problems.
June 14, Saturday
Went to an afternoon movie with my ex, I chose the one to see this time, not impressed with the one we saw, even though it had my favorite actor in it. It was still a nice warm sunny day when we came out, so we picked up a "dinner to go" at a local restaurant and went to the park, found a nice picnic table to sit at. He then brought me home and we watched the hocky game, our team did not win.
June 15, Sunday
Blue skies again and warm temps, we must have said something to Mother Nature which made her very happy. There is a old car show in a local park today, for Father's Day. It is only a half an hour walk from where I live so will walk there to meet DD1, SIL, GD1 and her hubby to have a look, then we will go for a meal a bit later.
Phew, a busy week for sure, at this point in time next week will not be as busy.
Have a great day
Cheers.
That sounds like a very pleasant week. I especially liked the sound of your just going out for a drive to the camping ground and lake and a pootle home along the lanes.
ReplyDeleteI had a day where I achieved very little - painstakingly sewed a block, looked hard at it and realized I'd got the dark triangles ALL in the wrong place, so had to unpick every stitch and do it again. The words of the Monkees song comes back to me, "Guess I should have stayed in bed"!!! Especially as I was awake 2 hrs in the night and had to nap on the sofa this morning!
