5 1/2 hours gardening done. Time for a cold one.

Just a few picks for now. Lot's of rain yesterday evening.

Alesund from atop the Aksla Viewpoint. Very pretty but the picture is actually wrong. It is this way round.

That last part is why I don't buy anything to drink at Disney, except alcohol. I drink water from the fountains, or get the complimentary cups of water.

A CM gave us the tip a bunch of years ago on the complimentary cups. We figured we spent possible $30-50 on water for over a week for all of us because no one wanted to share. And dh and I would never share with the kids. (backwash ) We purchased only 1 bottle on this past trip.

I know you don't live around here but I just watch it on PBS . I watch that and the Capitol Fourth. NYC one sucks. It really does, at least for me. Too much pop crap.

We get the Capital Fourth on our PBS. That is fun to watch, the Memorial Day Concert on PBS is also really well done. The Boston Pops used to be on CBS and then Bravo or A&E but never our PBS. I don't care for the NYC one either, I think that is shown on our NBC station.

Sometimes things are like depositing money in a bank. You don't use it right then, but, later on you take it out and use it when it has earned interest. The same goes with children. They are a ton of work, worry and time. They disrupt every effort that one personally has to just be selfish and do only for ourselves. However, when the mad rush of life starts and continues to slow down, you don't remember, smile and pat yourself on the back because you drove home from work and unwound. You process all those years of non-stop and smile and think... wow, I did all that! I have humans on this planet that are half my DNA and they are sometimes like me and, most of the time, like themselves. That is payback time and no matter how much effort was put in during those difficult years, nothing will ever replace those feelings and memories.

I have my children close by, but, I cannot describe just how lonely I feel sometimes. I wish I were young again and be doing it all over. No matter how much I complained about it back then, I would gladly do it again and again and again. Looking back, I was never happier or felt more needed then I was during that time.

Your daughters are very lucky to have you. From many of your posts it is very clear how much you love them and enjoyed them as children and how proud you are of the adults they have become.

Note to self never take dh to the hardware store. It's bad enough I bought a few salvia (one of the few plants my deer don't eat) on sale but not on the list but he bought a new faucet for my kitchen sink and my kitchen will be torn apart on day this week

But you will have a shiny new faucet.

I found that the water in the fountains wasn't cold. There were only one or two that were cold enough.

I was surprised the dinosaur kale was in as well as several types of lettuce I also got a few more herb plants that won't get put in until Monday due to the rain. Oh well time to get dressed. I hope having to go to a church Saturday covers one for Sunday

Only if it's 5p or later...!

They have many wonderful people there, and they've always stood strong in the face of adversity. A reporter from the BBC referenced the below last night:

I have that saying on a postcard on my fridge. Many days that's my mantra.

We got out of work an hour early Friday so it only took me an hour to get home. Could have been a lot worse. Local TV station said it was a 20 minutes wait during rush hour that day, I call BS and someone paid them off to say that.

There is another way I could go but that way took me the same amount of time to get home because of an accident but I got to Providence before 5 so that was good. Here's something you don't hear everyday, Fall River was good for something.

“If you have to be somewhere, give yourself extra time,” said Eric Offenberg, the RITBA’s director of engineering. “We’re anticipating 20-minute delays if you’re going over in rush hour.” -----Try an hour it took me to go a mile.

Sometimes the traffic reporters are about as accurate as the weather reporters!
