Sunday Post

Hi Everyone. I love the heat and the sun, but this year seems to be the most intense year I have ever seen. Heat advisories and temperatures over 90 degrees every day, with a heat index of over 100. I don’t care where you live, 100 degrees is hot! Then we have the humidity, making it feel like a sauna and hard to breathe. Thank goodness for the pool. I wouldn’t even stop outside if I didn’t have one. Can’t say I am getting much yardwork done and with all the rain we have had those darn weeds are having a party. LOL

Hope you had a good week and another coming up.

Stay safe.

Sherry’s Shelves #202 – Homestead Here We Come @KyleBusch

Posted on by

.

Sherry’s Shelves #202 is my blog update from 11.10.19 – 11.16.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. How are you today? I am doing this post while watching college football, my normal during the football season. I don’t watch a lot of Nascar since Jeff Gordon retired. We thought about it long and hard and chose Kyle Busch to be our champion. I loved his snarky, confident attitude. He has settled down since getting married and having kids. I thought it was funny that Mr Wonderful spends about five minutes on I10 going to work in the morning and what did he see the other day? The M&M truck that holds all Kyle Busch’s goodies, heading for Homestead. He is in the running for the championship and I wish him all the luck. We will be flipping back and forth on TV, watching the race and pro football.

It’s been chilly here with some rain and sunshine both. It has warmed up a little today and I need to clean the pool, but hey, who are we fooling. I won’t be getting in it, so no big deal. I’ll get to it…eventually. LOL How about you? I have gotten pretty good at taking care of business, especially knocking out the things I want to do the least, Otherwise it hangs in the back of my head, driving me nuts. Are you a procrastinator, putting off til tomorrow what you could do today? Would you rather binge watch TV? Catch a good movie? Read a good book? Do some blogging? Or just hang out with the family?

Well, that’s about it for this week. Leave a link and I’ll stop by and check you out.

Sherry’s Shelves #199 – Pensacola Interstate Fair #PensacolaInterstateFair

Posted on by

Sherry’s Shelves #199 is my blog update from 10.13.19 – 10.19.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hi All. Watching football on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The tropical storm that went through northern Florida just gave us rain, a steady drizzle, and some cooler weather. Now, the grass will probably wake up and demand to be mowed. LOL

Image may contain: 2 people, including Eric Fundin, people sitting, sunglasses, hat, outdoor and closeup

We went to the Pensacola Interstate Fair on $1 Thursday. I think they were worried about the weather. We beat the evening crowd and wandered for a couple of hours, shooting pics and videos. They even had a seal show and the seals seemed to have a great time. We go every year and always enjoy ourselves. Do you have any or go to any state fairs in your area?

Other than the Fair, I did my usual, blogging and reading, and doing a little cleaning. Oh, forgot that on Monday, I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and the eye doctor for my yearly exam. I had been to the dentist last week for a small filling, YUK! I’m set for three months now.

Well, that’s about it for this week and I’ll be seeing you around.

Sherry’s Shelves #189 – I Want To Be A Vampire #Vampire

Posted on by

.

Sherry’s Shelves #188 is my weekly update from 5.12.19 – 5.18.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello everyone. Glad to see you stopping in. As I write this, it is raining. It has been super sunny and 90 degrees, so I am happy to see it. The grass was getting so dry it started to crunch under my feet. I haven’t had to worry about watering, until last week. Even the first day of watering, the rain paid a quick visit. Isn’t that how it goes? But, it’s all good. Maybe this will wash out some of the pollen that seems to be playing havoc with my allergies. I haven’t been able to work in the yard without the help of Mr Wonderful, so it is in definite need of clean up. I am going to hire someone to come by and whip the yard in shape, maybe do a couple of projects. I am also going to, for the first time ever, have someone come by and do some house cleaning. Mr Wonderful does a good job, but I don’t think it’s fair, with him working a full time job and two freelance jobs, to have to do so much. It won’t cost that much and it will be a relief to have it done. I have caught up on most of my reviews for the books I have read. Just have two left right now. I have been reading books on my kindle that are documents, trying to clean them off. Some are pretty old and I think there will be some DNFs, just because I have so many books I want to read I will never have time to read them all. I need to be immortal to do everything I want to do. LOL Have a super week!

Sherry’s Shelves #185 is my weekly update from 3.3.19 – 3.9.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello. Welcome to another edition of Sherry’s Shelves. Well…Mardi Gras is over. Some of the family from Connecticut came down for Spring Break. I was happy Mardi Gras was still going on and we made it to New Orleans for a day of parades. We got pelted with beads…and if you know Mardi Gras…there are never enough beads. The weather started out a bit rainy but mild. Unfortunately, it changed to freezing colod for a couple of nights,but came back mild for their last day…at Pensacola Beach. I hope they enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoyed having the.

Image may contain: one or more people and outdoor

We have chosen our spot, scored some loot and are waiting for the next parade to arrive.

Image may contain: 4 people, including Shelby Ann and Eric Fundin, people smiling, people sitting, tree, sky, child and outdoor

My sister in law and niece, Sharon and Shelby look like they are having a great time. Have to remember to duck when those bags of beads are flying.

Image may contain: 3 people, including Shelby Ann, people smiling, crowd and outdoor

Here’s just some of the treasure we scored!

Image may contain: shoes

We had lunch at Peg Leg Pete’s on Pensacola Beach.

And we always take our visitors to meet the resident aliens.

Hello. Welcome to another edition of Sherry’s Shelves. Glad the weather has been mild and I have been able to open the house up, letting in some freshly pollinated air. Tis the season of Claritin, Flonase and Musinex. LOL One day it even got in the seventies. I haven’t been up to much this week. Still messing around in the guest room, cleaning and purging. I have a lot of bookshelves in there, but I have five more in the living room. I am trying to figure out how I want to organize them. That’s the hardest part, the rest is just dusting and moving. Any who…Hope you have a great week.

Sherry’s Shelves #182 is my weekly update from 1.27.19 – 2.2.19.

Hi Everyone. Hope you had a great week and managed to stay warm as this brutally cold weather attacks us, acting as if it is alive. The weather report for the Florida Panhandle is cloudy, cool with chances of rain throughout the weekend. DRAT. I am looking at the pool. It is now filled with leaves from the hated oak trees. I swear they shed year round. At least the wind has died down, so maybe I can get it cleaned up in between rain showers. After all, March is just around the corner and I am in it…REGARDLESS of how cold it will be. It’s my springtime ritual and I am thinking warm and sunny thoughts. How about you? What do you look forward to in the springtime? I saw a robin last weekend. Even for the south it is a bit early. Do you have anything planned for this weekend?

Sherry’s Shelves #180 – Binging on Some Movies on the Lifetime Channel #Movies

Posted on by

.

Sherry’s Shelves #178 is my weekly update from 1.20.19 – 1.26.19.

~~~

Hello fellow bloggies. We have had some rain off and on and some colder weather, but right now the sun is shining and it’s in the 60s. I am already thinking of spring, getting a jump on the household spring cleaning. I am binging on movies, with lots of smiles and a few tears. August Rush was the first movie and if you have never seen it, I will tell you that I loved it. My rating – 4 Stars. A young boy was given up for adoption and ends up on the streets. He is a musical prodigy and believes he will find his parents through music. Music speaks to me, as I am sure it does to a lot of us. After watching this, the ‘noise’ around me won’t be the same. And…yes…there were some tears in my eyes, even though I knew the ending.

Now, I’m watching Me Before You. I love the young woman, Emilia Clarke. She is so sweet, spunky, and cute as hell. I feel I know what’s coming, but I can hardly wait to find out. Me Before You has the highest highs and lowest lows. I feel like Jojo Moyes ripped my heart out and stomped on it. 5 Stars for this brilliant and surprising, for me, movie!

What about you? Seen any good movies lately?

Sherry’s Shelves #179 – Brisk Yet Sunny Here In Florida

Posted on by

.

Sherry’s Shelves #178 is my weekly update from 1.6.19 – 1.12.19.

~~~

Hello fellow bloggers. How’s it shaking in your neck of the woods? We had two great days early in the week, so I picked up the debris in the front yard, sucked leaves out of the pool and messed around outside. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t hold. It is still sunny but barely gets into the fifties. Still…better than shoveling snow and scraping car windows.

I have a few reviews to catch up on from the holidays and then it will be business as usual, sorta. I’m wanting to do different kinds of posts, so I am checking out a lot of blogs looking for ideas and still learning the new WordPress crap stuff. One thing I miss that I haven’t figured out is how to do rows of books like I used to. They don’t want to stay side by side, but below each other, like the above meme banners that used to be side by side. I wanted to experiment with posts the old way, so now it makes more sense. I do like clean and simple, for the most part. I want to grab four of my own photos for the headers. We are having trouble with our office computer, so scanning photos has been put on hold. I have hundreds, maybe thousands of pics to scan before they fade. It seems like, with technology, it’s always something, but I am much more patient than I used to be. Why sweat the small stuff? It’s not like it will change anything. LOL

Have a great week and I’ll be seeing you in cyberspace.
