Ahh-h-hh

It's been a wonderful day.....for no particular reason. After the busy-ness of running all over the place yesterday, there was nothing in store for today. That's a good thing, too, because it was quite hot and humid. ....the type of day that makes me glad I don't work outside, for sure!

I watered the plants this morning - the peas will be ready to pick in a day or two, tomatoes are starting to set on one plant (I don't see any cherry tomatoes on the other plant yet), and the zucchini is getting ready to bloom. We decided to walk at the indoor track with the humidity - I ran into someone I know who was walking as part of physical therapy after a hip replacement. He asked me if we were walking anymore because he hadn't seen us for awhile - considering we were ON the track, WALKING, at the time.....I couldn't resist looking him in the eye and telling him no, we haven't been walking. He chuckled, and his physical therapist seemed to enjoy my moment of good-natured sarcasm. I just couldn't resist.

We ran a couple of errands and then ensconced ourselves in the air conditioning for the remainder of the day. We're so thankful it was necessary to replace the unit last year with one that is so much more energy efficient! Hopefully that's one thing we won't have to worry about for awhile.

We had one of those moments this afternoon that make us realize how much the world has changed with technology. We have no-slip tub decals in our old iron claw-foot tub that's been converted to a shower. Those little buggers don't hold like they used to, so I try to keep replacements on hand for the times the adhesive gives up the ghost. For the past couple of months, I've been attempting to buy more replacement packs.....and I can't find them anywhere!

I've looked in the stores, I've looked online. I've had no luck, except for finding replacements from the manufacturer that cost more than I'm willing to pay - let alone paying shipping on top of that! Hubby tried his luck this afternoon and found some on Amazon.com that were reasonable, and with free shipping - I  had him order two packs! I find it difficult to grasp why items frequently used can be so hard to find. But I'm glad the World Wide Web is out there to help us!

Tomorrow is supposed to cooler by about 15 degrees, and I'm already looking forward to tackling the yard. But for now there's still some of this wonderful day for me to enjoy!
