SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2015

Welcome the new month of August! As a school child, it was a depressing day! Why? It signified the middle of our summer holidays! Mom started sewing outfits for we girls for the first day of school ... right after Labor Day! Then the school supplies list arrived in the mail! Egad, how I hated school. 

Haha. I opened my email and an Oscar de la Renta ad for back to school dresses! Hilarious. 


Anyway, I digress. LOL. Happy August! After our morning chores, Mark left for the post office with two eBay packages! My handmade jewelry sales are going fairly well. I'll never get rich on them, nor make any money. Ha ha. But it sure is nice that others see quality in my creations. What a lovely hobby for me! 

Lew arrived with a delicious casserole dish of sausages, peppers, onions and pasta that Lynn prepared for our dinner. Lew said, "I opened the tins of tomatoes!"  It was touching to have friends bring over a meal. Nice. Mark wanted to get into it right at 4 o'clock, but I made him wait until six and boy did we enjoy it!!!

It was so beautiful, a lovely 76° and breezy so we sat outside an hour and 15 minutes for a two-round of wine happy hour. The birds were abundant for awhile. We have a naughty black tomcat in our area spraying our truck tires. Robbie watched the cat skulk past our house then started yelling at it! Really ... a Scottish war cry. Ha. I don't think that cat was the least bit concerned. 

This evening, we watched the movie Schindler's List. Of course we saw it in the 90s, but had forgotten much of it. It was certainly a good movie. 

So that was our day! I hope your Saturday was good!
