Changes and Coffee, Fall, Critters, Quakes, and Paint

Yesterday in that post I 
mentioned things of our past, 
things that have come and gone,
One of the things now going, 
going, gone, is a lot of 
the stores and places we have
been used to eating at.
2020 ~ post COVID.
Things changed after COVID,
stores I think realized that they
could do away with brick
and mortar stores, or have less
inventory stocked in them by
continuing online ordering. 
If you go in stores shopping,
you will find a lot of stores, 
don't carry near the stuff they 
used to. Less brands to pick from. 
I go shopping and I am totally
shocked at what I walk out 
WITHOUT!
I don't mind ordering online
but a lot of things I like
to touch, see, try on, etc 
without having to make arrangements 
to send it back. 

With that said, I used to travel
to Ky. with my friend T. They have
Meijer stores up there, sort of 
like Wally World and I found 
Butterscotch coffee there.
When T would travel that way to 
visit family she would grab
me a bag full. Not living near
T now, I was missing my 
Butterscotch coffee.
I should have ordered it 
from Meijers and had shipped
but I have an account set 
up with Wally World so I ordered
from them. Not the same brand 
but the taste. Yep, this goes in 
my book of don't order again.
 
Can't even taste the flavor and I 
paid way more for it then I 
would have from Meijers.

LOOKY, LOOKY
what I found in Hobby Lobby.
FALL items.

and we are not even out
of spring yet.

Oh my, let me just get
through the summer.

My critters are back. 
They love hanging on the porch
and scatter when I step out.
Is it strange that I love
to see them, makes me smile.

I heard that the other day 
TN had an earthquake near
Chattanooga which is about 3 hours 
away. I looked this up about 
earthquakes.

WHAT?
I had NO CLUE.
Course the one we had the other
day was like 2.7 and nothing like you 
folks in Calif. have!

I went out and got some paint 
mixed the other day. Decided
that I needed to change the color
of my front door. Remember the 
talk about me changing things here 
to make this mine and putting
my touch on my home....
IT HAS STARTED!
I have not painted much on 
the door, however, I did paint
a section just to see if I liked it.
I look over and see the 
cock and look on Lily's face,
not sure if she likes
or don't.


HAHA.
What color is your front door?
Do you change that out or do you 
leave it forever the same?

That last photo is a keeper for sure. The number of earthquakes is incredible!

Sorry the coffee wasn't what you wanted, but you know where to order it from now.

Our front door is a egg shell color. We're getting ready to paint our home (outside) so we'll see what color it ends up to be. Not yet got the colors all down.

Awww on your precious kitty. They are so precious.

Have a fabulous day and week, Pam. Big hug to you and scritches to the girls. ♥

You can have earthquakes anywhere. And often. Yeah, you wouldn't notice a 2.7 unless you were right on top of it. We have those happen a bit here, too.

That flavor of coffee would be much better if you could taste the flavors! I like that little lizard thing, it would drive our kitties nuts. Hello sweet Lily!

Oh my word, fall stuff out already? That's crazy.
My front door has been a boring white since I moved in and will probably be that same boring white until I die.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Forgotten, Old, Square, Coffee and Parada

Image
The other day I mentioned that I  left the house early and  stayed gone for hours, with my  camera. Going to try and work on  my "Forgotten in Hickman Co." album on FB. It is sort of overwhelming that there is so much abandoned  property in this county.  The pic above is on  the main strip and I think it maybe was once a store, or  a place to eat. While I was riding around the county seat of my county, I saw this amazing home. And this one. Centerville has some really old homes. The town was  established in 1823. and in 2020 the population     was 3,489. There is no growth in  this county, the county seat wants to keep it that way.  The town square has more vacant buildings then ones that have something in them. Last time I was there, there was a bakery, that did not make it along with one restaurant that I had eaten at before. This could be one adorable square if Hickman Co. would allow growth. What they stick with i...

Pick Pickard, Bye to August, Witchy Christmas, Crossing the Creek, Bats, Birds, Beckham, Evie and Sissy

Catchy sign... haha....don't even ask me who the mayor is now either.. not a clue.  WOW.....August sure did move through really fast! Here it is Sept. and the  fall season is knocking on the door, then Halloween and  the holidays will be here. Always heard this stuff flies by the older you get, so  true. CRAP....I  saw this the day after  I painted my Christmas card. I have been thinking of redoing the one I just painted, I  like the idea, but the pulling it off just is not doing anything for me. I will prob trash this  one and redo it by changing a few things.  My thought process is still the same, I just have to study my thoughts and  figure out how to do it.  Wed. evening, I had to drop Braden out at the farm of a teacher from his school. Braden has been going through a rough time with  behavior and the teach and her family mentor young boys. Wed. night  was his first time to go and  since he has to be there before...
