60s expression, Mending, Patio Dining ,Taxes, Whimsy

I am no longer, frequently using the 60s expression..."Life is what happens as we make other plans." Odd as it sounds, I felt I was a jinxing myself.

I was downed by a small oil slick on my morning walk a couple of weeks ago. Lucky is my best word to say here.  I am mending. This spill took me to Urgent Care for X-rays. Normally, no big deal but they are a Covid testing place. I'm going to use that word lucky again. I know the man who runs the center & I was able to go in the back door & out the back door pretty quickly. A shatter but no broken bones.

A make-shift sling. My March tax appointment was cancelled & not rescheduled so I did my own taxes online with one arm. First time ever & a new accomplishment for me. Good self esteem building for the Inner Child.

This last Tuesday (oh, 3 days ago) a friend & I went out for a nice fish lunch to a nice restaurant. Sat on a nice patio. 'Nice' stops there. No social distancing of tables. Period. This was our first dining out since March. 

Numbers, not the ones you want are going up here.  I do watch them.  The next patio dining experience will be in the City of Long Beach.

Photos: Whimsy post of a (WC Fields?) wine opener.  4" long. Lots of character in that face. Available in my Etsy shop, link up above.

Stop back between now & July 6. I'll have something fun to post.

Back to the 60s, White Still Life, Rolls, Store Bought Cake & Etsy

A good 60s expression that has recently come back into my frequent talk...Life is what happens as you make other plans.  Since the pandemic started, I have had a big plumbing bill and a good sized vet bill.  Today, went to the dentist to get two cavities filled (unusual for me to have cavities).  Next hurdle is my taxes.  Appointment was cancelled in March.  Are you having things like this just crop up during this time period?

On the lighter side today:

 White Still Life

 Day before these were filled with Bridgeford yeast rolls.  Can you smell them?

 The ONLY store bought cake that I like.  Do you have anything to add to this?

 My best pictures so far on Etsy. I'm trying to reinvent myself.

Sold in one day. On its way to NC. Hollywood Regency wall pocket.

That's it.  Have a great weekend wherever you are in the coming back out stage.
