Well, I am working on purging drawers in my kitchen. You must realize I have 13 drawers in my kitchen not counting the cabinets that hold pans and glassware. Big kitchen. I have now emptied 5 drawers. Majority of items either belonged somewhere else or were garbage, shred or donate. I found 4 old phones, 2 which were flip, and some items you put into the cigarette lighter in your car to charge your phone. My new car, which is 4 years old, does not have a cigarette lighter port. I found enough change to fill a small sandwich zip lock bag. Vern could never find his hair comb and now I know why. Found at least 12 of those. I am doing the drawers after the dogs afternoon walk and their dinner. That way I have been able to enjoy the garden and spending time on the back patio and then tackle the drawers in the early evening. Seems to be working.

We have a cold front moving in and we will go down into the low 60s by next Monday. Tomorrow is a gardening day. I will take some photos of my roses. They are in full bloom. They love this time of year. Actually, so do I.

Pat and Betty, it is good you both took a rest day. The guards of the community went around garbage day, Tuesday, and gathered me many boxes from the bulk day stacks. That is every 2 weeks. I have a large amount of boxes and that will save me money. House, 3 houses down, just sold for all cash and they look like they will be moving in soon. 5 bedroom and 7 baths, and 7,000 sq ft. so there will be many boxes with that move.

My daughter, grandson and myself voted today. We had to stand outside in a parking lot for about 30 minutes but it was only 84 degrees, so it was not bad.

I went with a friend to Costco last week. I have the membership and she likes to shop there about every 8 weeks. She and I both purchased paper towels and toilet paper. When we got to the checkout we could only get mine because they only allowed one of each per membership. I also looked for some zinc and they were out.

Too bad we could not all get together and have one very large yard sale. When I start going through my gardening tools and such, I will find many duplicates.

We have not had any rain in over 5 months. May get some on Monday with the cold front coming in but I will not hold my breath.

Pat, how did your cat do while you ere gone? One of my major worries is moving my cats when I move. One stays very close to the house and usually does not leave the yard but the one that looks like Betty\'s cat wanders the whole neighborhood.

Hugs to all of you from Las Vegas. My neighbor across the street has been exposed to the virus so he and his wife, mid 50\'s, are staying home and inside.
