First Music in the Park – 2021

Les James opened Seymour’s Music in the Park on June 16, 2021.

Les also celebrated 40 years of music with family and friends!

Also, Les announced his retirement. This was his last performance–tears were shed as he ended the evening.

Les James will be missed at Music in the Park.

Entertaining and healthy

I put a few ice cubes in the water bowl for my inside pets.

Car-E came and immediately investigated the ice cubes.

The ice cubes cool the water on a hot day and also entertain my cat.

Hot weather can be tough on animals as well as people.

Think about giving your pet a cool treat today.

Library doors open again

Curb-side pickup was available for months but starting June 1 the building opened.

Today was my first day volunteering. As in the past, I shelved books. Next Thursday morning I plan on being there, and the next Thursday, and…

Of course before I left today I checked out a book for my own use.

See you next Thursday morning at the library.

Projects added up

One project led to another and then more. It was hard to stop the room update once I got started.

This 1990 column has me going full force on the living room.

I’m not so enthusiastic about fixing and painting these days. I can live with what I have, well, mostly.

But I did jump in with both feet into doing these recordings and blogging. Guess I haven’t changed that much in all these years. I just pointed myself in a different direction.

Earth Day suggestion

In today’s short video I talk about taking plastic bags and plastic wrappers and recycling them properly.

To recycle it takes a little effort, but our earth is worth it.

Do not put plastic bags in regular recycling bins. Look for bins in grocery stores for these products. In Seymour, I will take the bag I showed to Don’s Quality Market and put it in the bin in the entranceway.

Join me in recycling daily.
