Sunday thoughts

[susandennis]

I am just twisting myself into a pretzel over this Google wallet thing. It's stupid. This problem is not a problem.  I do not need to buy anything from Google so I don't even really need the wallet. I buy any music I need from Amazon. Ditto for video.  I can get apps from Amazon.  I have a Pixel laptop, a Nexus tablet and a Nexus phone - there's nothing left in the devices store that I need to buy.

It's exacerbated by my having plenty of time to focus on it and not a lot of other stuff to worry about so actually, I should take the whole thing as pretty darned good indication of a lovely life and quit worrying about it.

I remembered yesterday to get a housewarming gift ordered for Anita.  She and her husband bought a new house and likely next time she comes to cook, they will be all moved.  I ordered her a a dogwood tree kit.  If anyone can get a dogwood tree out of a mailorder can, she's the one.  We don't have a lot of dogwoods here in this area and they are so beautiful.  Anyway, it should be here by the first Tuesday in October when she comes next.

My brother, visiting his son outside Boston, went to Friendly's yesterday.  He had a hot dog and a hot fudge sunday.  He sent pictures. God, I miss Friendly's.  He's has 2 little granddaughters there (a third lives in Minneapolis) - 2 and 5.  They call him Grandpa.  Little girls call my baby brother, Grandpa.  Life is full of wonder.

I was all set to go get Croque Madame for lunch today until I saw a tweet that there is a car show and they have the streets near the restaurant all blocked off.  Thankgod for Twitter.  So I'll be at the pool when it opens at 11 and then probably go back to Luna Park for my apres swim meal.  Luna Park has equally good lunch and breakfast and I don't have to decide til I get there.

It's so amazingly cool.  We're supposed to have rain this evening.  I think maybe this afternoon I'll put the air conditioner into its winter closet.  It will be nice to reclaim that corner for me.  The air conditioner isn't the ugliest but not having it clutter the living room is way better.  Plus the psychology of I No Longer Need It is huge.

I miss Sundays that feel like this (minus that whole Google Wallet mess). Enjoy your day lady! Hope the pool treats you well and there are no screaming kids at lunch.

Friendly's has changed a lot over the decades -- jwg and I used to go there a lot, and we would always order a Big Beef Cheeseburger Special Rare on Rye Toast, which I don't exists any more -- but the basic concept is still there.

I actually had that thought yesterday - what if Friendly's isn't the same and how lucky I am that I can know it's there and remember what it was and know that I'll never find out it's any different :)

I remember that Big Beef Cheeseburger on Rye! Oh was it delicious.

Friendlys right up the road from me was the last place my nana and i ever went out to ready at. I will never forget how girlish the sparkle in her eye was over ordering a coffee flavored fribble with her lunch. Love that place.
