Did she live in MA or RI?  The Scituate that had the tornado is in RI, as well as Johnston, RI.  They are investigating a few areas in MA that they think had tornados too.  It looks like one of them skipped along a line from Scituate, RI to Weymouth MA.  There is a crazy video of the tornado hitting cars on a highway.  

 

 

She lived in Scituate Harbor, Mass.  

That must've been some video of the tornado hitting the cars on the highway.  How frightening for all those in their cars.

I have friends that live in that area, it is gorgeous.  We are just north of Boston and were watching a Boston based tv station this morning, and they needed to keep clarifying they were talking about RI, not MA, but then they started talking about damage in Weymouth, which is close to Scituate, MA, so very confusing!

I remember the guy in the paint store saying to paint a swatch on all four walls and then look at them at various times including night time to see if you still like the color before you invest time and money. 
The pale pink I had picked out looked like Pepto Bismol in morning light. 

I should have done the swatch thing. I didn’t and unfortunately the upstairs bathroom does look like Pepto Bismol threw up in there. I still haven’t repainted it. 🫣

Good luck with your job search, Bonnie!  I've thought of coming out of retirement and getting a part-time job, but the thought of having to show up on a regular basis brings me back to my senses.  🤪

Thanks, Joy.

Keep looking you will find the perfect part time job. I just turned down a freelance job that just seemed more trouble than it was worth. Stick with your gut.

And thank you too, Greg.

Hope the storm lets up and you can continue the park. Ride the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for me. That’s my favorite ride of all time.

Greg:Did you ever see anyone post on CC who lives in the same town as you ? I was just about to post something on the Disabled Cruise Travel thread and saw a poster from the city that you live in.

Good news and bad news about my never ending job search.  Good news - I got a call from the memory care facility I last worked in before I had ankle surgery.  They want me back!

Bad news - I had to turn it down because they want me for far too many hours.  6 hours per day. 

 

I had a face to face interview yesterday after a phone interview for part time office work managing volunteers for a non-profit org.  I'll find out next week if yay or nay.

 

Wish we could cruise enough to satisfy my staying home full time. 😏

 

 

 

Good luck!

Oh no! That sounds painful, what happened?

Just me being my clutzy self. I keep telling my residents they'll have to wrap me in bubble wrap!

Thanks for the Happy Anniversary!  She said so sweet!

Some might remember pics I posted a couple years ago of a chest of drawers I built.  After building it I decided to modify the plans and build a TV stand.

While on the Hawaii cruise I mentioned to one of our friends that I started a TV stand and had never finished it. When we got back home he asked to finish it for us.  Today he delivered it! So nice.  He did a great job!

That was a lovely act of kindness.  It looks great.

This morning, I decided to go to the Cherry Blossom festival at Auburn Botanical Gardens.  I have never been to the festival or the gardens before.  Auburn is located in the Western suburbs of Sydney.  It’s a ticketed event and this weekend was sold out.  

 

 

 

 

 

Once you have wandered the Japanese gardens, there a lovely area with lots of Japanese food & drink stalls.

 

I enjoyed the Cherry Blossom Lamington, sushi, two types of Japanese cheesecake and some nice wine.  Would like to have tried some of the other food options but having not been to Japan, I wasn’t sure what to choose.
