Home Alone and A Quiet Day

United States
August 12, 2023 10:48am CST
Happy Saturday Everyone! it's a hot and muggy day here today with thunderstorms in the forecast. One minute the sun is shining and the next it's hiding behind clouds. My daughter is going to a pool party and barbecue at a friends and will stay overnight since it's more than a two hour drive. All her friends are going to be there for an end of the summer get-together. Usually they do this yearly pool party bbq in July but the family that usually hosts it was busy all summer. This was kind of a last minute thing and whatever friends could make it was invited. So, Mush and I will be alone until sometime tomorrow. I know her plans will be to sleep 90% of the day and the other 10% will be going outside and eating For me, I have a movie I've been wanting to see (A Man Called Otto) and the rest of season two of the Lincoln Lawyer is out. Throw in a few chapters of my book and probably a bit of crocheting and that's how I plan on relaxing. Of course I'll pop on and off here as well What are you doing for fun today??

I planned to go swimming but it rained heavily. So I just stayed home reading the detective story.

Darn rain to spoil your swimming plans. At least you have your book to escape into. Have you figured out who did it?

@Beestring it must be a very good story to not figure out yet. I also like a good mystery

We got over 1 3/4 inches of rain today and are supposed to get up to another inch tonight. It stayed 69F until noon today and then shot up to 80F for this afternoon. It's cooling down again now. I spent most of my day sleeping, like normal. I did do some cooking this afternoon and am myLotting now. I hope you've enjoyed your day.

@Marilynda1225 We've gotten over 2 inches this weekend and are still getting rain now. We're under a flood warning again. I tried to get a nap in but couldn't fall asleep so just watched a couple of movies.

Boy, a lot of people posted about “A Man Called Otto” several months ago. Most people said they liked it, but a few didn’t care for it. I know my dad’s wife enjoyed it.

@Marilynda1225 I will leave to see them in a bit as we are all going down together to the bridal shower. I can't wait to see what their Mom dresses them in today.
