JUST AN ORDINARY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY... I THINK

Happy Friday the 13th!  I always call it my lucky day because everyone thinks it is unlucky.  And with that outlook good things usually happen for me on Friday the 13th.

Yesterday Joe went to a four month follow-up for his cataract surgery.  Everything is doing great!  He is seeing 20/20.  Yes!  He goes back in a year and I think once a year from now on to keep an eye on things because of his diabetes.

When we left there he wanted to get a haircut at his favorite Supercuts which was nearby.  Supercuts is a chain and we had been going to one near the library I worked at for eight years.  They did a good job.  But then we discovered one near my cancer doctor (and Joe's eye doctor) and went in there.  It is cleaner, faster and they do a better job.  So that is where Joe goes now.  I took a picture and he didn't even know I did it until we got home.

While he was getting his hair cut I went a couple of doors down to Haru Sushi and Hibachi and got us some vegetable sushi to take home for lunch.  Joe wanted to try what I had when we went there last time.  It was so good.  I never have had mango in sushi before and it is amazing.

After we ate we went to Lowe's and I got a new welcome mat for the Spring and Summer.  No more snowmen out front.  I also got some pansies to put in the pot out in the yard.

The sunset was amazing and I took several pictures of it as it progressed.

The little lights in the last picture are the street lights along I-95.  We are only a few blocks from this major highway.  I can look out the window and see how the traffic is flowing before I get on it to go anywhere.

Today was a beautiful day.  Sunny and warm.  I had almost forgotten what it was like to go outside and have it be warm!  I had to take this picture for you when I got into the car.

Yes, that is an 88*!  I had the air conditioning in the car on as I drove.

Joe and I went to Shoprite for lunch.  We really like their restaurant there.  I thought I would show it to you.

The wall next to the booths is painted so nicely.

Next to the cash register are the beverages, napkins, plasticware, etc.  They call it "The Harbison Avenue Soda Fountain."

And look at these lights!  I didn't even notice them until I looked up today.

The other night while I was sitting there waiting for Joe I also took a couple of pictures of the store.  It's so pretty and so clean!  All the fruit and veggies are perfect.  There's an entire organic section and even a tropical fruit section with papayas, dragon fruit, kiwi and avocados.

After we finished eating we went to drop some things off at the dry cleaners and then stopped in Dollar Tree for me to get some new flowers for the pot in front of the house.  When we came out of Dollar Tree there was a lot of smoke.  A car was on fire.  What a time to not have my camera with me.  But I had my phone and got a picture of the car and the fire engine.  They aren't wonderful pictures, but you can get the idea.  A  lot of people were standing around taking pictures.  I hope no one got hurt.  The car was destroyed.

When I got home I put the flowers in the pot.  For some reason nothing grows in that pot.  I have tried changing all the soil.  Moving it to different places for it to get more (or less) light and nothing.  So now I use silk flowers and it always looks nice.  Peonies and dahlias this time.

And that's about it.  Hopefully tomorrow I will get out in the yard while it is 82* again and get all my plants in.  I will show you pictures of what is up (but not blooming yet) too.

Until later...
