Yes, I know I moved the camera.

Returning from a recent trip to Jen’s we stopped at The Reel Steak House near Lucedale Ms on Highway 98. While waiting for our order I noticed zip-lock bags of water hanging around the room. I asked our charming and spunky waitress about them and she told us: The owner believes that they will keep files away, but (now speaking in a confidential tone) “They do not work. I’ve seen flies resting on them”. So, spread the news, another urban legend debunked.

Jeanne, come here and help me take down these water bags! (just kidding)

My sister Jen gave me some blueberries from her yard. Nothing to do with this post but they were sure good.

I am new to Blogging and I’d just read the word ‘pddling’ on someone else’s Blog, so it must be the ‘in’ word! I gather yours means ‘peddling’ (I hope it does!) I’m still scouting around looking for Blog ideas; that’s how I came across you. I am Australian and retired. I have a Blog called ‘Rinkly Rimes’ which might interest you.

Hi Brenda,
I rely upon the following dictionary meaning of the word “piddling”.
“So trifling or trivial as to be beneath one’s consideration.”
I am familiar with the colloquial meaning of the word. Please allow me to reassure you I do not do that in my yard. Hi.
Good luck with your new blog life.

How come I don’t see any posts about yard piddling anymore? You’re not still piddling?
Love your blog anyway,

Cindy

Hi Cindy,
I have been distracted by retirement. And it’s hot in the yard.

However, yesterday I bought a chainsaw so that I can finally get rid of that stump pushing my front side walk up. This is the stump from the tree that fell on the house during Katrina. I have given up on waiting for the pine stump to rot.

I also bought a pressure washer. Jeanne wants to wash the brick.

And I am making yard plans but more importantly I am going to schedule hours in the early morning (by 8:00) to work in the yard, on days I don’t ride or just do a short one.

The prior preparation and actual retirement has consumed my time. I still have to move out of the office and that is going to be a killer.

(I think I’ll put this on the front page - some people don’t read comments)
