Week 20 May 26 - June 1, 2024

 Sunday, May 26, 2024

The rain kept me in all day.  We anticipated not going to the Vagabond picnic at Whitnall Park, because of the threatening forecast.  I did a load of laundry, watched the Brewers lose, did some knitting and reading.

Monday, May 27, Memorial Day

I put together a Rhubarb Custard dessert that should be very nice.  I helped set up.  More than sixty people attended, including Peter.  We had plenty of food.  Dwight grilled chicken fillets and we had enough to take some home.

Tuesday, May 28

I had a much needed toenail trimming by the podiatrist.  My nails were so long that some were cutting into my toes.  What a a relief.

We had a nice group at Book Club today.  I missed sheepshead in order to get ready with my reading and salad for a pot luck tomorrow.

Brad and Janice came to wash my balcony windows.  After washing the initial layer of dirt, Janice used s window polisher and the windows sparkled.

Brad had to go to the hardware store for a wing nut to fasten my bistro table.  It's very secure.  He ended up doing some vacuuming.

I went to a lunch and learn about the three rivers of Milwaukee that was quite interesting.

Friday, May 31

Tyler and Abby led a Memorial service for the people of SRS that died the past year.

Dwight and I planted verbena and lantana in the area over the fence; unfortunately, the verbena is not the one I recommended.  After making some calls, Milaeger's in Sturdivant had verbena bonariens.  I bought twelve plants at $20.  I dropped the plants at the planting area and went to get my gloves and trowel.  I crawled up to the ledge and planted a few, but had difficulty getting up.  I could easily have lost my balance and fallen.  I should have known better.

Friday, May 31

After my 10:00 a.m. hair appointment, I shopped first at the Walmart on Layton Ave., but they did not have scrubby yarn.  I went to West Milwaukee and found what I needed.  

It started to drizzle and it rained the rest of the day.  I made Birthday cards for all of the June Birthdays.

Finished the evening playing Rummy Cube
