Wednesday Evening Schmoozings

Ooh, am I in a good mood! I just had my first taste of watermelon for the season!!! It’s unusual, if not downright impossible, to get a good, sweet watermelon this early in the year (it’s not even Memorial Day yet), but I picked one up at Kroger yesterday and sliced me off a hunk tonight for dessert. Absolutely delicious! Because of the threat of rain I didn’t go too far. I went to have my semi-monthly “slider” hamburger (I have a mild beef allergy, and one “slider” sized hamburger at Logan’s Roadhouse is as far as I’ll push my limits). After lunch I walked around a shopping center. The smell from a soap shop called Buff City Soap was so enticing (even from outside….with their doors closed) that I had to go in. Oh, did it smell good. They make “natural” soap out of plant-based materials, and make the soaps on site. I chatted with the manager for a few minutes (she was intrigued by my walking cane/seat, so I showed her the product on Amazon where I’d ordered mine from), and she sent me on my way with some free samples. I had to laugh at one of the soap names: “Wash That Ash,” made out of charcoal. I came home and watched the radar. We had a downpour that hit us, eventually, but in the meantime I saw one of the neighborhood cats wandering around out front and set out a can of food for it. Beggars can’t be choosers, and he/she gobbled it right on down, along with quite a bit of dry food. I was able to get the dry food back inside before the rain made it wet food. Because of the weather there was no golf tonight. I saw online, however, that one of my favorite people to be partnered with won a tournament over the past weekend. He played the tournament in a walking boot and won. That shows what a good player he is. (And as good a player as he is, he’s that much nicer a gentleman!) We had tornado warnings in southeastern Kentucky, but no severe weather here. A few claps of thunder was it, and a good downpour. It’s supposed to get awful (as in “State Fair weather” {our state fair is in mid-August} as one meteorologist put it) Friday, with temps and heat indexes in the 90s. I’ll either go to the home remodeling expo or I’ll lounge at home. Either way, I’ll be in air conditioned comfort. Hope y’all have a good evening!
