Hello Everyone,
Wow it’s FRIDAY and it’s 66 degrees out! That is wonderful. My front door is open and I love the feeling of that temperature. Of course it is still dark out and the sun hasn’t come up yet, so I feel no humidity. If this temperature would stay FOREVER that would make me very happy! But alas…………… This weekend is supposed to be SUPER as per the Naples Daily News “push” I get each morning. Let’s look at my calendar to see what I have on it. Nothing really. I might even get motivated to go to the GYM each day. When the temperature is cooler, I want to do “stuff” around the house. I really should clean off my dining room table that accumulates all types of paper and of course my desk could use a clean off too. We shall see what I come up with. But if it is nice, I could open up my sliders all of the way and have a good breeze going through the house. Something I really need to do is to figure out a “shelving” system in my closet in the den. It’s a little bitty closet, but I’ve just got stuff stashed in there with no organization. I’ll go to Home Depot and see what they have. I don’t like those “wire” shelves. I bet I can come up with something. Plus my GV baskets are just sitting on the floor of my den and I’m not so sure I like that look either. I left them in the garage last night, but I’ve seen big palmetto bugs in there and I wouldn’t like them taking up residence in those baskets, so I brought them back inside. I might have space in the closet in the “guest room” for that stuff. So it looks like I’ve got a plan for the weekend.
Yesterday I had my monthly GRAPEVINE meeting. It was GRAPE! Thank you Steve for joining the crew. I got all excited about the Grapevine again. We’ll be setting up a table to display all of our “wares” at Serenity By The Sea. Of course, I have a “conflict” in that I need to do the “Heart Walk” with Moorings Park that morning – November 1st. So NOTHING happens most weekends, and the 2 big weekends for me I have double booked. First the Heart Walk and Serenity by The Sea (Plus there is the Swamp Buggy Parade that morning which will cause additional “issues” with traffic etc.). And then on November 15th I have The Gratitude Dinner and the Walk for Alzheimers. Oh well – this too shall pass.
I wish “Happy Joyous & Free” to Carol G today. She celebrates 39 years! WOW that’s a long time (not as long as Steve E though). She doesn’t have email that I know of, so a greeting to her can’t happen. But I wish her well.
I just found a “new home” for my Grapevine baskets – the hall closet with the kitty litter. They take up most of the second shelf and I moved other stuff around so they are now out of eyesight in my den. That makes me happy! I also think with a little imagination, I can combine one of the baskets so I have only 2 baskets rather than 3 and the third one I can fold up and use “in a pinch”. I just hope the “new stuff” in that closet won’t freak out the cats.
Oops went to FB and lost track of time. Gotta go! Have a great day!

Mary, your life seems to swirl around and about…Alcoholics Anonymous. (THERE, I broke your anonymity–the fires of hell await me–grin!)Even in caring for your house, cleaning, etc, the question often is, “Where shall I move these Grapevine baskets, etc., etc. I would “bet the farm” that God approves, b/c if He did not, you would never be so ALWAYS enthusiastic, happy, busy, caring for others. ALWAYS! You are an inspiration…it is those phrases I hear whenever your name is mentioned.
WELL! ENOUGH of that “praise Mary” thingie. It this cool 66º which is giving ME new life. Already I notice weed-growth slowing–and grass also. WE were told (regarding the honeysuckle vines, to plant near the back wooden fence, place a whole bunch of finishing nails in fence, and tie whole bunch of fishing line in, around, between and betwixt. So I went our there with flashlight this morning, and they have not climbed up the fence yet. Maybe tomorrow. The place honeysuckle SHOULD have been planted is a much more sunny spot. So Home Depot will call when they get a couple in. (They only get two at a time, about every two weeks…)
About those two mornings when you’d rather be at the AA functions, but are running (walking?) for charity…I’ve been led to believe “the show will go on”. (I should remember that also…how utterly “unimportant” *I* AM–grinning!!!!)
Bye
Mary
