JULY JEWELS….Day 23

 Murphy’s Law returns.  My drama again begins.  One stress free day it seems is all I can have each week; sometimes not even that. 

I tossed and turned most of the night and again I have to be out and about after nine this morning.  I don’t want to put my current dilemma in this blog but if interested Personal Message me for the latest development in my soap opera life. 

As you can see I had nothing of interest to say about the vintage cartoon DEPUTY DAWG. I never cared for the show but my step-brother enjoyed it.  One can’t be over thrilled about every cartoon show.  

Today is Friday again. This was another fast week.  Today we wear our red.  Of all the red shirts I own I seem to be wearing the same one each week.  Why? No answer.  One thing I need is to pack a few red Friday wrist bands in a tote bag to distribute.  I have enough that’s for sure.  

Another short read today due to current issues. 

Until tomorrow….enjoy your day and Stay Safe.

Murphy’s Law has returned

Seems everything again screwed up

No communication between people

        DEPUTY DAWG THOUGHT

Never a fan for some reason

Don’t know why….just was not

Deputy Dawg did entertain my

(Zookeepers Week; Everyone Deserves a Massage Week; National Refreshment Day and National Hammock Day)

A nice day to relax with a cold 

   refreshment 

  while swinging in the hammock

   reading a good mystery

Of course a massage would be nice 

    too

  not only for me but those zookeepers 

   working hard with the animals 

  

JULY JEWELS….Day 22

 

Good Morning!  I’m up early to get to the hospital for my husband’s five hour bone scan test.  It’s going to be a very long day indeed.  Mostly waiting while the injected dye goes through the body for the scan.  I debated whether I should bring something to read or not. Bringing my Kindle would mean I’d have to carry something extra with me.  

Yesterday I did not actually do any deep thinking at all. Just went with the flow.  It seemed to relieve my mind.  I did not let anything in particular play through my head. 

Yesterday the daily cartoon was THE

JETSONS.  I was always a fan of that show even in my adult years.  One of my favorite episodes happen to be about George going to a football game and how it was played in the future. It was quite funny indeed.  This cartoon a complete opposite of the Flintstones which took place in days of the caveman. The Jetsons indeed futuristic.  Both cartoon series were entertaining even as an adult as I enjoyed watching these. Cartoons aren’t just for the young at heart as I still like turning in the cartoon channel on occasion to catch one or two.  

As I need to get in gear for the hospital this is a short read today. 

It’s Thursday or as I say Friday Eve. 

Until tomorrow….enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe. 

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

                 DAILY THOUGHT 

I took a day from deep thinking

Nothing triggered me to have deep

   thoughts

My mind felt so relieved 

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

                  JETSONS 

Opposites from the Flintstones 

  who lived in the past

The Jetson resided in the future 

How I’d love to own Rosie the maid

  or even the Jetsons car

George Jetson always in some 

    predicament 

But things always came together at

  the end of the show

He was just like Fred Flintstone in some 

   ways

Always one of my favorite shows

    WACKY HOLIDAYS JULY 21st

(WAVES Established Day; National Junk 

  Food Day;  National Be Someone Day  

  and Take Your Poet to Work Day)

If I worked I’d take have a problem 

 deciding which poet’s book I’d take 

   to work

I don’t need a day to prove I’m 

  someone….I someone every day

No junk food today….I’m doing the 

    opposite having healthy food

Hurray for the WAVES….like the WACS

 they need a day to be recognized 

JULY JEWELS….Day 21

 

It’s Hump Day!  Another day for me. I’ll be visiting my husband late today. I personally like late afternoon visits best.  He likes early.  Go figure. 

My Amvets had been having a customer appreciation lunch this past month.  It has been named LUNCH on US!  The lunch is served from noon until gone. All the food provided is by donation from members of the post and our bartenders.  I have been donating dessert snack cakes I’ve picked up.  Now what gets me are some individuals who will come in around four or later complaining no food is there.  What don’t they understand it’s lunch not an early bird dinner? What is hard to understand that when the food is gone it is gone?  I’ve heard grumbles that the cakes aren’t what is expected and better snacks should be available.  Yeah well in my opinion if you don’t like the snacks don’t eat them or donate something.  As for the food a few grumbles about it also.  Don’t like it don’t eat it or donate something.  I’m becoming too sick of people and their pettiness.  Enough said.  

The vintage cartoon yesterday was ALVIN and THE CHIPMUNKS.  Personally I don’t recall watching the cartoon but heard their recordings.  One could not watch every cartoon that 

aired in television.  

My wacky holiday piece was just three lines and it hit the spot of what I wanted to say. 

Until tomorrow….enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe. 

😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

               DAILY THOUGHT 

What can’t some people not understand about the following notice regarding a FREE LUNCH 

 ‘LUNCH SERVED from Noon Until 

       GONE”

Now it means lunch is available beginning at noon….once the food is gone there is no more

This is Lunch which means mid-day meal

Not an Early Bird meal beginning at four in the afternoon 

😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

         ALVIN and THE CHIPMUNKS 

I listened to the chipmunks before I

  watched the cartoon

Alvin was the most mischievous 

  the oldest of the three chipmunks 

Simon and Theodore the other two 

Theodore the youngest was the sweet 

   shy of the group

Simon the middle of the group 

  the smartest 

Although I enjoyed their musical talent

  never a fan of the cartoon series

😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Jump for joy it’s Pennsylvania Day

 I’ll enjoy and celebrate with an 

  ice cream soda and a lollipop

JULY JEWELS….Day 20

 

Monday reared it’s ugly head yesterday.  I gone for a early visit with my husband. After leaving there I stopped at my Legion post for lunch and to pick up my new membership card for both my husband and myself. Well his was ready but for some reason my was not. Yes it upset me and I asked why. Seemed his was process but mine not. Now these cards come in to the post in alphabetical order. My card would come first but not sure why mine passed over. Secondly I had my renewal notice which I handed with the check for us both.  I know things do happen but odd enough it was to me.  I did get my new card and that is all that matters to me. 

The FLINTSTONES was yesterday’s vintage cartoon. I remember the first episode; I was nine years old. I always enjoyed the antics of Fred.  As I got older it came to my mind the Flintstones sort of reminded me of a cartoon take off on the old television show “The Honeymooners”.  I am not sure why but somehow this is how I saw it; and still do to this day. I was surprised when an actual movie was made years ago.  I thought the movie okay, but rather have enjoyed a full length feature cartoon movie.  

Today I have a catch up day of stuff I need desperately to do.  My visit with my husband is late as they had no early morning openings available.  That happens on occasion but not often. 

At the moment I’m listening to traffic race up and down my street which means people are already out and about at 7:30am.  The speed limit is 25 but it’s like a NASCAR track.  In five minutes I’ve counted at least fifteen vehicles.  Either people are rushing off to work (which I doubt) or heading to breakfast or the store.  There have been days it took me over 15 minutes to back out of the driveway.  I have a feeling this is one of those days. 

Until tomorrow….have a good day and as always Stay Safe.

                DAILY THOUGHT 

Another day in my drama life

At least no Murphy’s Law today

Unless you consider the problem trying  

  to pick up my new Legion membership 

        card 

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

                    FLINTSTONES 

   

The first episode aired when I was 

    nine years old

Fred and Wilma Flintstone along with 

    their friends Barney and Betty Rubble 

     lived in the fictional town of Bedrock 

A great cartoon show taken place

  in the period of the Stone Age 

Viewers followed the antics of Fred 

    Flintstone each week

“Yabba Dabba Doo” Fred’s catchphrase 

Reminded me a bit of a cartoon version 

      of the old Honeymooners show

Not even sure if the local Publix

JULY JEWELS….Day 19

 

It was an interesting Sunday.  I had a three hour visit with my husband.  He then went to sleep.  I think it’s the meds for the infection that causes the tiredness.  After the visit went home for lunch then about three thirty ran out to the store.  I needed a few things and I had to pick up the pickles for the Amvets for the Bloody Marys. Even though he’s in rehab, my husband is still making sure he donates the pickles.  I just hope next time they give me notice when the last jar is half empty. 

Today a new week begins and I have a lot to do today.  It seems I always have something that needs done. It’s getting out of hand but I’ll get through it. 

I’m wondering when my next day to stay home and just relax will be.  

My observation from yesterday is those who have no idea they have turn signals on their cars.  Maybe they are broken; if so there are a lot of broken signals out there.  My thought on the subject is that the car salespeople should explain the workings of the car to the buyer.  Explain this is the steering wheel; this is the lever to activate the windshield wipers and this lever on the left activates the lights and turn signals. 

Well it’s just a thought. 

This is a short read as I need to get myself in gear.  

Until tomorrow….have a great Monday and as always Stay Safe. 

🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨

               DAILY OBSERVATION 

Seems like some people don’t have 

     turn signals in their vehicles

Or perhaps they don’t know where to 

     find them

I think car salespeople need to show 

    this to those buying a car 

🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨

      

       ROCKY and BULLWINKLE 

How a squirrel and moose can be 

    friends is beyond me

In the cartoon world it’s possible 

     though 

Rocky and Bullwinkle residents of 

   Frostbite Falls in Minnesota 

Always thwarting the schemes of

No caviar for me….yuck…yuck 

I don’t care if it’s an expensive luxury

 Sour candy treats I can take or leave 

Though an ear of sweet corn

  with my meal sounds perfect 

Ice cream for dessert with chocolate 

   sauce

Yes that will be satisfying 

JULY JEWELS….Day 18

 

Good morning it’s Sunday. This is a short piece today.  Yesterday seemed to have no big issues or Murphy’s Law did not affect me.  Only thing was I had the time incorrect for my visit with my husband. That happens as  I typed wrong information on my daily calendar. It worked out well as I was early not late. 

Terry had me thinking about YOGI BEAR yesterday; that was the daily vintage cartoon. Now I enjoyed the antics of him trying to steal picnic baskets.  It seemed most baskets always had a pie or cake. I don’t recall seeing cookies or donuts in them. Of course that is my observation and feeling.  He’s still popular today as he is in a recent commercial these days. 

As I looked over the wacky holidays, I realize I really never heard of strawberry rhubarb wine.  Yes I’ve heard of strawberry but never rhubarb.  As I’m not a rhubarb fan, seriously doubt I’d enjoy the wine. I can even stomach the idea of strawberry rhubarb pie. 

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday. It’s the last day before Monday rears its ugly head. 

Until tomorrow….do something fun today; and always Stay Safe.

A better day today with no issues

It’s scary….does that mean big issues

If I were to get a tattoo I’d definitely

   rhubarb wine first 

After to treat myself I would indulge 

  in a hot dog with chili and peach ice 

     cream cone 

     

JULY JEWELS….Day 17

 

Not sure which day I’m on With Murphy’s Law but I need it to stop already.  I’m not even going there about yesterday.  

The memorial service was beautiful but sad. I did the prayer before the meal.  I sort of chocked up a bit as it was after TAPS and that always makes me tear up. After the pray I found I could rearrange my two o’clock appointment to an earlier time. I then went to visit with my husband. I then decided to call to make appointments for the next week before none were available.  As I mentioned before, he likes late morning visits.  I do also.  

Today I have a late morning visit.  He has a nice roommate who has no family in the area. I visit with him also to make the gentleman feel good. This guy is a treasure of Information about the place.    He says he has no problems with anything there.  

Now Terry is getting into cartoons that first appeared when I was younger. I recall and enjoyed the cartoon HUCKLEBERRY HOUND.  My favorite part about him was his trying to sing.  To me he sang off key.  If I recall I think this cartoon came on in the evening as I remember watching after supper.  Funny but we had no idea the Huckleberry was blue as color television was not in our home at the time.  You only knew he might have been blue in color because of his name.

It is Saturday and a new day begins.  What will go wrong today?  What does the fates have in store for me?  It’s a crap shoot for sure. 

Until tomorrow….have a great weekend and make the most of it; as always Stay Safe.
