Good 53º overcast morning. There is nothing on the radar but with this cloud cover we probably won't hit 70º. At least no rain is predicted for a few days!
This is funny, yesterday I packaged up the old microwave in the new microwave box. Didn't quite fit, so I had to tape it shut. Couldn't find anyone who wanted it and Goodwill said they don't take them, so made a sign that said...
...and taped it to the box. Took it to the road and put it next to my mailbox. Then Maggie and I zipped up to PJ and Dave's (in the golf cart). While we were chatting a car stopped and scooped up the box and away they went. It had to have been there all of 5 minutes! Amazing. Once I put out an ice chest with a broken latch and it was gone in record time too!
Here is one of my favorite hors d'oeuvres ... gherkins wrapped with Swiss lace cheese. Low low in calories, wonderful taste of cheese and the crunch of the pickle. Yummmmmm....
Yesterday it was warm, 75º at least. I went to town for gasoline for the lawn tractor and came home and mowed for over 3 hours. Still not finished. My paid help, Jason, was here and he weed-eated for 5 hours. He was exhausted, but everything is looking nice. What a help having Jason here. Sure saves me a lot of work, as I woke up this morning and my back was stiff as a board. Will take it easy today! Here is the afternoon sky at quarter to 5 and where I mowed...... and have yet to mow....

I liked her movies! Driving Miss Daisy... Fried Green Tomatoes...and, *batteries not included.

The boy has a voice and had some 'moves', but not a good looking older man!
Today will be wrought with excitement... I have to grocery shop and clean the porch furniture.

night ... Flashpoint. I liked it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashpoint_(TV_series) This will be their 4th season. How did I miss it for so long?? Except for the pretty girl in the show, Amy Jo Johnson born in Massachusetts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Jo_Johnson , all are Canadians. Interesting. Anyway, good cop show, takes place in Canada ....
"Flashpoint is about a fictional elite tactical unit, called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), within a Canadian metropolitan police force (styled on the Toronto Police Emergency Task Force[4]). The SRU are tasked to resolve extreme situations that regular officers are not trained to handle including hostage-taking, bomb threats and heavily armed criminals. Equipped with high-tech tools and a cache of weapons and explosives, members use negotiation tactics and intuition to try to avoid the use of force."
