Monday Morning Brief

Good morning from sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin. The sky is bluer today than yesterday and Saturday. The air quality is in the moderate category today. It's been a good morning so far. I got the Bible study done and my game before I went down to the exercise class. When I got back, my neighbor, whom I'd only seen one other time, knocked at my door and wanted to use my phone. He was having trouble connecting his new phone. After he talked to the phone service without satisfaction, I told him I would be happy to help him. Now, mind you, I'm pretty good with easy electronics. But I couldn't even figure out the instructions. That's because it was missing a step. I took the phone with me to the phone office and the clerk plugged it in, pushed a button, and voila, everything worked fine. I took it back to him, plugged it in, showed him what needed doing, and he now has phone service. Sunday was a good day. I wore a mask to church and home because the air quality was in the unhealthy range. I watched three movies, high school football themed. Radio, Facing the Giants, and When the Game Stands Tall. I hadn't seen the last one before. It was in my collection. It was very good. The first and third were based on true stories. As for my plans for the rest of the day, I will work on the notifications and get a fruit tray set up for tonight's potluck. I know there is always a lot of food, so I'm not sure I'll fix the tray. I usually bring back most of what I take down. That's my day, easy. How is your day shaping up? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I’m getting ready for my colonoscopy prep. There’s a Beyoncé concert in town tonight, but it’s only about three miles from my house. I might be able to hear it! (Not that I want to…) You have a blessed day!

Ugh! I hate colonoscopy prep. I think I would like the Beyonce concert more than that, and I'm not a fan. With as loud as those concerts are, you just might hear it.

@just4him — I’ve never seen The Rolling Stones but I DID hear their concert when they were here in 2006!

@FourWalls We had a famous artist here on Saturday. I can't remember who because I never heard of him, but he packed out the football stadium parking lot. It was a free concert. I looked it up - Bryce Vine.

I think I saw that first movie you mentioned. It was very good as I recall.

The potluck was fun. The scale this morning wasn't.

@LindaOHio I know. I set a goal for my birthday and have now fallen well short.

Easy, my stomach was off this morning, and my internet kept dropping the signal. I was in a bad mood. I didn't feel up to the blood donation I was going to do. So, I am just hanging around online. FInally got on. THis evening I will go to Bunco.

I hate it when directions are not at all helpful. Sounds like a good day for you. Me, not much happening I have a lot of writing to do so I will be doing that again soon.

It's good to see you again. I'm glad you're having a good day. Writing is always good. Thank you. It is a good day. I agree. If they hadn't eliminated that one step, I would have had it taken care of for him.

Glad that your air quality is beginning to improve. Hope that you have a good time at the potluck tonight. I got the laundry done and gave Ginger a bath. With her age, she hasn't been cleaning herself as she once did so Mike and I give her a bath. She is getting to where once she's in the tub and the warm water is on her she relaxes. Have a blessed day

That's good she relaxes in the tub. Thank you. I'm glad it's much better today. Thank you. No fruit plate. The strawberries I put in the freezer are mushy. So, I went and bought a cookie platter. What doesn't get eaten tonight, I'll take to Bible study tomorrow. Thank you. Have a blessed day too.
