Rubber Ducky Skeleton/Dragonfly Swarm

 The curio cabinet is still sitting full of broken glass. And, I still don't have the bed I bought! Most of the cards are still on the floor as I can only bend that far so many times.

I moved things of mine so Tommy can get to his chair without having to leave his walker so far from his chair.

When I went into my bedroom, I found a plastic shoebox with more items. One, a packet of manilla envelopes, made me happy.

I bought the thickest, boneless pork chops I have ever seen. Tommy refused to have his cooked in sauce for pork chops. So, he cooked his then added the other two chops I had cut in pieces to the sauce. I just hope this sauce is same as one my family loved long ago. We will have leftover baked potatoes and green beans with the chops.

I spotted a duck skeleton, similar to a rubber ducky. There was no tag, no more on the shelf. Now, I own about six rubber duckies that I could nor leave behind. 

The pork chop was tougher than I expected. But, it was delicious! I really prefer very thin chops, I suppose. 

Going down the ramp on Thursday, I had a dragonfly approach me several times. I looked around and was surrounded by dragonflies. Tommy said there were 20 or thirty around me and more all over the yard. We never see more than one or two. I wonder what was up. The weather is beautiful, drier and just a bit cooler here. How is your weather?


Janet sent me a birthday present on my birthday. She sent a purse, a pink purse. I wanted a pink purse, so great gift. Tommy replaced my expensive and beloved necklace that I lost. I now suspect it was stolen, and I know who did it, but no proof. Since my phone and necklace were in close proximity and the cleaner who was here just abruptly  quit coming, I suspect it was her.

  1. I like to think dragonflies are good luck.

  2. I would have felt like a dryad, being surrounded by dragonflies.
    Any kind of nature in your presence is a blessing.
    Except maybe a hungry bear, LOL

    1. Sue,
      Nature loves me--mosquitoes, ants. Thankfully, no bears near, I hope.

  3. We have little a white ducky. It came from a cocktail at a restaurant. DH wanted to leave it behind but I said no way! It now sits on the dashboard of our car. I christened it "Pooter." Pooter says I am a much better driver than DH, as Pooter never tumbles off the dash when *I* am driving...

    1. Sue,
      I am glad you took him home. I am sure Pooter has good judgment.
