TODAY I sit a little tired. JUST A LITTLE. Yesterday was on the go. For an old woman I did pretty well keeping up in the heat. PACED MYSELF. Good girl.
Hubby had the day to work on one of our cars that blew a hose and overheated on the interstate. He studied up, got the parts then worked under the hood. Worked his magic and car is up and running. Thank you Hunny.
Our cars are old requiring maintenance. Two cars down at once is a bit much. My Lily as I call her is ill and sits in the drive way needing some work done on her. Next paycheck perhaps she will get her needs met so I can drive her once again. She has a tricky ignition that we are dealing with so she will go into gear. whah.
We ate left overs for Brunch. Needed to do a few more loads of laundry, but first we'd make a trip to Topeka. Just so happened we stopped by McDonald's for iced tea and took a road trip that leads to Topeka going through small communities. We stopped off at FLORENCE ADAMS and purchased some tea in a tin.
FLORENCE ADAMS has started to carry PLUS SIZES. Think I will return after payday and try on a few skirts loaded with florals. I tried on the clothing at home that needed dealt with. AS I THIN OUT my closet, replacing some pieces that are bright with life would make a difference in my wardrobe that is oh so sad.
whah.
Onto Topeka to GOD's STOREHOUSE. One of the nicest THRIFT SHOPPES this side of the Missouri border...Topeka. Clean. I enjoy stopping/shopping here. We treated ourselves to a couple of LATTES priced at a dollar and a half. NO CAMERA. Drat. This would have made a terrific picture. Bright orange coffee cups on saucers with a beautiful coffee swirl in the center of the drink. Oh so pretty.
We browsed for a couple of hours then rested. The outside temps soared to 90 something. Once again, I spent a little money. A 50 cent Cottage magazine. It doesn't matter that it's 10 years old. Just like new. COTTAGE decorating is like that.
Silver plate service pieces on the shelves of the store waiting for someone to take them HOME and do something different with them. Create.
I love this gaudy stuff. It's like Mel Gibson's character in the movie CONSPIRACY THEORY where he continually buys the book, 'Catcher In The Rye' every time he sees one for sell. I go into auto pilot and gawk. I bought a silver plate vegetable server with metal lid, glass pyrex bowl with fork inside a silver plate base on feet. OH SO PURDEE.
My collection of silver plate service dishes is growing. It's a HOBBY that many could identify with and others won't.

OFTEN I see white with gold trim Fire King deviled egg dishes and go into a TRANCE. I forgot how many of these babies I have in storage boxes. I walked away from this one today.
From the Storehouse, we went to Menards and Home Depot looking for special Fern Food. Gentle on the ferns. Special brand. Then Arby's iced tea, road trip HOME.
Made my stop at the Laundry Mat, supper, unloaded our spoils and rested. Since the television station is switching out there antennae, we cannot get the local News Station until the last of June or so. This is a type of detoxing to not watch the news. The computer keeps us well informed. Well maybe.
Understanding that President Trump and North Korean Dictator shook hands and signed some kind of agreement. Not sure of the details, but I do not have peace with our President making a deal with the likes of a baby faced dictator that kills his own family members. No sweat off his nose.

What's a handshake to someone
that kills their own family members
and starves their own people?
I watched the little movie that our President shared with the dictator. Terrible. As if this was SHOWBIZ. Video states only a few people are so important as to make History. Of course the dictator was one of the important humans to make a difference.
Feeding his ego? Feeding his narcissistic personality? A guy in his position sees through this
a m e r i c a n smoke screen. We are nothing to him. He is superior to us in his mind's eye. Both leaders may have separate heads but both are of the same body going toward the light of the new world order. Both in the same club. Eyes wide open.
Welp.....perhaps I should be silent for now. As we watch and see what unfolds in the modern world, I pray that God be merciful to our country. He has been. Will He continue? The day will come when He says no more. Next chapter.
I could say so much more about political poison, but believe I won't for now.
HOME is where I need to be,
