Just Before The Eclipse

Mini vacay this past week-end by spending the night in a quiet Kansas City neighborhood at a small Motel we discovered a few years ago.  Two hours from HOME.  Made arrangements to take some material to an upholsterer working on our fire recovery furniture.  FRIDAY EVENING IN K.C. and road trip to OKLAHOMA on Saturday.

Peeked at our wood MORRIS CHAIRS that had been refinished.  The material we bought will look nice on these old recliners that will become our casual reclining chairs to watch television in. 

Pork Chop supper, rested and slept at the Motel.    

Next morning we drove to Oklahoma to celebrate our Grandson's 3rd birthday on Saturday then be part of a Sunday SURPRISE 40th Birthday party for our Daughter-In-Law, Shell.

WONDERFUL WEEK-END.
Returned HOME late on Sunday.  

MORE PICS LATER

Monday was a slow paced day watching the Eclipse.  The sky appeared as a cloudy day with a glowing atmosphere.  When I took a picture of the eclipse, my camera did a funny.  

I didn't so much as look into the camera lens.  Just held the camera up and looked elsewhere.  SNAP.  The instant the camera clicked, a black circle appeared on the camera pic showing my shot then faded to the still picture.  For a split second the eclipse showed up on my pic and then vanished.  

I took 4 more pics and they all did the same thing.  This was the closest I got to seeing the eclipse.  I spent the rest of the day inside working on paperwork.      

TODAY, I worked on FIRE RECOVERY receipts.  Made progress until the copier ran out of paper.  New machine and couldn't load more paper due to not being able to open it up to load.  Will continue tomorrow.  This FIRE RECOVERY job is time consuming  which I will rejoice when completed.  Not sure when that will be.  Hello. 

Took this as a sign to do something else.  Worked on bills.  Always a pleasure.  Went through baskets of paper.  RESTED until Husband got HOME.

Quiet evening resting with fresh, cool air drifting into the Living room through the screened in porch.  FINALLY comfortable breeze to wrap around my old tired body sitting in my secondhand chair.  

Went through a few cardboard boxes to find some of my pretties broken making me sigh.  This week I'll continue going through boxes in the Dining room hoping to have a functioning room soon.  I'm poking when it comes to this.  I'm sorry but sometimes I do get overwhelmed with all that needs done.  

Deep breath,
