Satisfying Saturday

 Today was a really good, happy day. I awoke feeling 100%, but still have meds to take. The sky was blue but a bit hazy. When the mist dried off, the sky was a clear blue. But, when we reached the Warrior River, there was a great fog. This was all around 8 am. Around noon fluffy clouds appeared and added to the beauty of the sky. The further south we came, the more clouds we encountered. Despite predictions, it never did rain. We heard one clap of thunder and had about ten drops of rain on the windshield. 

Surprisingly, my mailbox at the PO was not stuffed to overflowing. There was lots of mail but orderly and not a lot of junk mail. I was glad there was nothing there that was dated and perilously overdue, lacking my attention. 

When we went to the Festhalle, and the Farmer's Market was in full swing. I could not find Elberta peaches, but did find freestone peaches--$14 for a bucket of 13 peaches. When we got home, I ate the ripest one that was still hard yet was so tasty. A tiny basket of five squash was $4. I like tiny squash because I just do, plus I am supposed to avoid all seeds and skin which leaves little of squash to eat...lol. I forgot to buy a gallon bag of shelled peas! 

I saw my favorite farmer and bought from him. I have bought from him for 30 years, bought from his farm and the market. But, today I met his wife for the first time. 

At the Publix in my town I found original Special K bogo. So, got one. Once in a while I want Special K with sliced bananas and milk. When I finish this box, I probably won't buy again for six months. Snaplock brand was bogo, so I bought two bowls. While I was at it, I bought two more jars of Miracle Whip bogo because the date was January 23. Since we have been so successful at not using plasticware, I bought another 6 salad forks and 6 spoons. 

We ate a burger in the shade of my magnificent oak. Like Tommy said, it is the only place we can be sure of shade since it was high noon. Our other eating places would not have shade! I had a pleasant visit with my yard. There is a lavender Rose of Sharon/Althea volunteer in my yard. My neighbor agreed she wanted it. 

Halos are back in stores. I won't buy any right away. We have bananas, apples, cherries, and peaches. 

Friday night, Tommy opened a can of green beans and I discovered green beans that are so awful I refused to finish mine. The first bite was a mass of strings and several bites thereafter. I was not eating a stem or anything that should have been stringy. Freshlike is the worst brand of green beans ever. 

Today, I decided about 4 pm to take a nap, but that was not to be. I tried 3 times but the thumping that some call music made my chest hurt and disturbed me. So, it is 9:30 pm and I feel miserable. Tommy had leftover meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad with tomato. So, there was none left for me. I told him to eat it, so no complaints. I had Special K, banana, and milk for dinner. Then, I had part of an apple.

Friday night, I cut my bangs, too short, of course. Saturday morning, I washed my hair before 7 am and it was dry before we got to Cullman. My hair feels so good--clean. fluffy, and shiny. I have never gone four weeks without washing my hair before. Now, I feel like I can go into a store without scaring people. 

That was my exciting Saturday. How was your Saturday? Did you get to a market today? 

Feeling well is a gift!
