My friend's husband has a fish pond in their backyard and I took some photographs of the fish:

Today, I dusted the living room and then, vacuumed the whole house. I also did two loads of laundry, including the sheets and towels covering the family room sofas (the towels cover the sofa arms). I went over the sofas with a lint roller brush to remove the fur that had still managed to get on them, even with the covering sheets, sprayed the sofas with flea spray as a precaution, and re-covered them with the washed and dried sheets. I flea combed Dancer, too, but didn't find anything on him. I hope it continues to stay that way! Later, I washed the dishes (some by hand, some in the dishwasher), took the trash cans out to the curb, cleaned the litter box, and read.
Today, I am grateful for:
- Being able to sleep in
- Making a good start on the weekly house cleaning
- No signs of fleas on Dancer
- Labor-saving appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers
- Electricity and indoor plumbing

How was your Monday? Did you have a good start to your week?

Wow you did loads!
ReplyDeleteTypos in books are likely to become more and more of an issue as people can self publish without quality control. One or two bits always slip through, no matter how careful the editor, but some people are careless. I would have been driven daft by those typos. Hugs
Yes, yesterday was a productive day! :)
DeleteI've half a mind to write to the publisher and point out where the mistakes were; not that it would accomplish anything, but, it might make them more aware that there is a problem.
I would love that book!
ReplyDeleteIf it had been my book, I'd have offered to send it to you, after I finished reading it. But, it is my friend's book, so, I need to return it to her. Would your public library have a copy? If not, I know it can be purchased, online.
DeletePretty fish! I sometimes find mistakes in books also. Not very good proofreading on the book's part. So nice you have prayer meetings! Andrea
ReplyDeleteThose fish were all different colors and some were quite big, too. These monthly prayer gatherings have been going on for at least 35 years, now. But, as we were just discussing at this last gathering, they seem to be coming to an end, as the majority of the participants are finding it hard to attend them.
DeleteMonday was a good day but today (Tuesday) is a bit of a wash out. It's started raining so any work in the garden is out of the question but at least the rain has cleared the air so my headache has gone, and I won't need to water the garden tonight!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad your headache is gone and you won't have to water the garden. :) It's rather overcast and cloudy, here, today, but no rain. I will need to water the garden.
DeleteSounds like Monday was a very good day. Hope Tuesday turns out the same. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Monday was a good day! I had energy and I was motivated to get things done. Today might be a slower day. I am not feeling very energetic.
DeleteWell, you had a very productive day yesterday, I hope Tuesday proves the same, and you get a little fun in as well. I checked out the book on Goodreads and was surprised to learn it covered 400 women. I wondered if it referenced them by verse of the Bible or simply by name. I did not recall there being 400, but then my Bible education is very much an ongoing project (as it should be).
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the reminder that Tuesday is trash day, I guess I'd better grab the bin from my weekend scrapping and get that out or recycled. Hope you have wonderful week.
The first part of the book provides a list of all the names of the women mentioned in the Bible (in alphabetical order) and a reference is provided for each name. The second part of the book consists of stories about some of them.
DeleteLove the pictures of the pond.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got your list mostly completed. I need to do a wholesale clean out of both refrigerators but I just don't want to, plus I need to defrost the freezer which I don't want to do either.
It is quite a big pond, actually, with a rock wall behind it and waterfalls. Cleaning out the fridge and freezer is not a fun job, is it? I am glad that my current freezer (I have a side-by-side fridge/freezer) doesn't need to be defrosted.
DeleteI find it alternately frustrating and amusing when a book has not been proofread properly. I worked in a school once where the deputy put huge red marks on anything which another teacher had miss-spelt. Until she sent round a message to all the teachersabout a song we were singing about "the bells are peeling" Someone marked her error. She stopped correcting us then (I don't know if she knew it was me)
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, too funny! I used to cringe when my daughter's teachers made spelling mistakes in their written communications.
DeleteI think some of us automatically go nuts when they come across wrong spelling or bad grammar. It's as if our school years of education in English are wired into us! I love Angela's story!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Bushlady. Yes, Angela's story is too funny. :)
DeleteYou are such an excellent housekeeper. Every time I read your blog I am motivated to do more housework.
ReplyDeleteThank you, but, I am not such a good housekeeper in my opinion. You are the one who vacuums daily, remember? I am trying to be better, though. :)
