My Day

14 years ago

I am back from shopping. We found a good deal on bing cherries at Walmart for $1.00 a pound. I looked for Fels Naptha in Walmart and did not find it. I looked for the washing soda too in the detergent isle. Guess what they had in big boxes in the detergent isle! Baking soda! No washing soda or Borax did I find there. We had a nice lunch from Bob Evans. By the way, is it usual to ask when you order food to go to ask if you want to add a tip to that? It is very hot and humid here today. I am glad I am home, but I do love to shop for groceries. I always have, I guess it doesn't take much :) We did stop by my Mother's place along the river that the fellows are remodeling. Caught them enjoying the view and the breeze of the river. They will soon be ready to put the siding on. It is going to look really nice. Hope to rent it out in a month or so. What have you been doing while I have been out having fun?

So far just working. We are having a nice cool day here but the wind is something terrible. Keep having to pick up blown over plants. Got lots of paperwork done and out of the way so I can be outside all day tomorrow! I am going to the store on my way home.

Went out to the mailbox and saw in the driveway a long piece of something black. First thought was that a squirrel ripped off a piece of landscape fabric. The do that and use if for their nests. Stopped and looked again. It was a black ratsnake. Have not seen one for about 20 years. Watched it for about 5 minutes and then it slithered in to the hedge. Just hope that it makes it's way into the backyard and not to someplace where somebody hates snakes and kills it.

DGS (8) spent the night and is staying again tonight. Today we went to his soccer game. They lost terribly, but he always has positive things to say afterwards. He's encourages his teammates and always tells them "good job" even if they're lousy players. (And most of them are, but they are improving!) We're getting ready to play a rousing round of checkers. And then who knows? Maybe Crazy 8's. He's fun to be with!

Yes, they are too close together. You need to separate them and plant them at least 10 inches apart now that they're mature sized daylilies. I'm wondering why it took six years for them to bloom. Perhaps you have them in too much shade. Mine usually bloom for the first time within one to two years. Debra

I first read monica's post as "...went to Walmart, picked through trash..." LOL
I'm hoping against all hope that Ted and Zane can fix my air conditioner. It's like the blind leading the blind. But miracles *do* happen. (Don't they?)
I'll find out in an hour or so. I'm dying here. Haven't slept for days.

" By the way, is it usual to ask when you order food to go to ask if you want to add a tip to that?" I don't know if it's normal/usual but I've never been asked that. I have added it to my tip if I've eaten my meal at the restaurant but also placed a to go order to take to someone else.

No, we had not eaten in there, she just went in to pick up the to go order. She had two gift cards, one with a few dollars on it and she was asked if she wanted a tip added and she said no. The next gift card which was full was given and she asked the second time if she wanted to add a tip to it. Yes, if we had eaten, a tip should be given, but I say if you are picking up the order, no.

Several deli's where you walk up and place your order, to go or to eat there, have TIP BUCKETS, right there on the counter with TIPS written on it.

Re: To Go food, If you pay with a credit card, there is always the space for tip, but I don't tip for to go food. Maybe once when they brought it to my car and it was raining-I felt sorry for the girl, so I rounded up the bill to make it easy on her (she didn't have to come back with change) I don't think anyone has ever asked me.
