Sore feet....

Cathy, I was thinking the same thing as Pati - the sore and tired feet resulted from a wonderful fun filled happy event and therefore would make you feel like you earned it .....maybe? And you were out and about with people.  I sometimes fear going out in case I run into people - sounds silly but hey...I am now thinking about going on the bus Thursday to the Casino by myself. I know there is a bus full of people but I am actually going by myself. Who knows, maybe I'll have a good time!
I finished the book Twice A Spy last night - thoroughly enjoyed it. This authors writing is really refreshing.  I'll tell no "spoiler alert' stories as I know Pati is reading or will be reading these from her Library.
It rained so hard overnight and all day today. Water was everywhere (outside and inside) Only at about 3 pm today did it let up and then I had to do damage control such as tieing up broken tomatoes branches etc.
Yesterday I cleaned the birds cages. Our mating pair just didn't get it right and discarded their eggs. But the man with whom we consult said to take the eggs out ( the birds had already let them drop from the nesting cage to the bottom of the big cage) but leave the nesting cage as they may try again. I was all for separating them into two cages and be done with it, but who listens to me anyway!!
The other day our wooden three tier cat tree broke - the cats love this thing. Harry contacted the maker and he came by on his way home from work here in Sundridge at 6 pm tonight to pick it up - he drives a mustang and no way would it fit into his car so I loaded it into our van and we'll deliver it tomorrow up to Powassan to his home (almost to North Bay)  He will fix it and make it sturdier and then I guess we'll have to pick it up again and bring it home. I watched the latest show on The Quilt Show before bed last night and I must say I really enjoyed it because I kept thinking about the boxes of fabric etc that Harry has picked up at garage sales over the years all sitting in bins in the basement and I know for a fact that there are unfinished quilt blocks in some of them and who knows how vintage they may be? Cathy this lady who was the guest on the show finds old quilt blocks and turns them into modern day show pieces. It was wonderful to see - I probably will never do anything about it but the fact that I could with what I know I have hidden in the basement, makes me happy.  The other day Harry brought home a full green garbage bag of flannel fabrics with some blocks already started and sewn together - all found at the "dump store" as I call it. This has so much potential, and left my mind wandering with pleasure. But, again I put it all in a big Tupperware container and down into the basement.  I think in my after life I shall have lots to do with my time haha!
Anyway, it's bedtime. I bought two books off of KOBO the other day using a gift card Mike and Erin gave me for my Birthday. I haven't used my Ereader for a long time so will find it fun to get back at it.  And speaking of books, my friend who is the Librarian at the local Library is retiring and there is a drop in party on Friday afternoon for her which I shall attend.  I shall miss not having her there as she has been a real help to me in the ordering of the books etc. I know the other Librarian and whoever will be hired to take Denise's place will do the same, but it won't be the same!
Take care
