One of the dresses that I got at the neighbor's garage sale over the weekend.
On top, I wore a gold satin jacket that is the top of a 2 part set.
And my INC costume necklaces that I got in Orlando a few years ago.
On Tuesday morning, I had a couple of errands to do. First, we needed new pillows for our sofa, and I found these cute camel ones at Hobby Lobby.
Here they are, in place.
Here's a better look at the art on the wall behind the sofa, to give you a better idea of why camels were a good choice. My MIL Mimi, drew the camel portrait.
Then, I put a few old pictures of Doc from medical school in a collage frame..
I liked the poem a lot for these - it was perfect.
For lunch, I made Cuban sandwiches. They are roast pork, ham, gouda cheese, pickle relish and yellow mustard.
Then you pan fry them like grilled cheese. We had fruit cocktail as a side.
After that, I made a trip to Home Depot. They were having a big sale. Here are all the flowers I bought. I stuffed them in the passenger seat of my MB SLK.
They filled the whole front. It has only two seats. I washed and vacuumed and polished Snowball this morning.
I got three red vinca to brighten up the front shelf.
Likewise, the clump got fresh soil and lots of gazania.
I planted everything on Wednesday morning. That evening (the 4th), we went to a party and saw some old friends. It was fun.
On Thursday, I didn't do much. I went for a run, and then made a couple of bouquets. The beautiful and fragrant orange roses are blooming.
Likewise, the birds of paradise are also doing pretty well.
And I put two gerbera daisies on the furniture - they are $3.98 and last a heck of a lot longer than a bouquet.
Friday saw the start of a horrible three day heat wave. It was 96 degrees here at the beach. I wore long sleeves to work, because sometimes the office over compensates and the air conditioning is too much.
I wore a pale aqua chiffon skirt from Sharagano and a matching blouse from Liz Claiborne.
The skirt has a mermaid tail and clear crystals scattered about. The blouse has tiny silver studs.
I wore a costume moonstone necklace and a vintage gold chain belt.
It was way too hot to do anything after work except kick it in the pool. I also made a nice snack.
Yesterday, I went for a short run and saw the most horrible thing. A guy in a Porsche Cayenne took a left turn way too fast and creamed three parked cars. I ran and hid behind a work truck as he sped away. They caught him later at his mother's house and charged him with felony DUI and felony hit and run. I have noticed a few cars parked weirdly lately - it appears as though people might be partying a bit too much. Something to keep in mind when running, dog walking or driving.
Later in the day, Pandi and I took a walk around the mall. She was beat when we got home - I had to carry her half of the way home.
Poor Pan. Well, tomorrow it's back to work for me. Temperatures should be just a bit above normal.
