Hello and Happy Sunday!

On the Home Front: 

• Last Sunday we saw Doctor Strange. Then hubby called to talk to his dad and we found out my father-in-law's long time girlfriend (21 yrs) died Saturday evening. She'd had several strokes the last couple years and in the last few months was diagnosed with sundowners dementia that progressed quite rapidly. So much so that my FIL had moved out because she didn't recognize him. The week of Memorial Day, she had another massive stroke and pulmonary edema, fell into a coma, and never woke. My kids thought of her as a grandma because my mother-in-law died in 1998. It was a sad start to the week.
• Monday Trip and I worked on cleaning the back deck and planting some stuff. See Touching Nature.
• I don't remember what we did Tuesday or Weds. lol
• Thursday was grocery pick up.
• Friday we worked outside in the morning. In the afternoon the A/C guys came to do maintenance and unplug the drainage pipe because we got a shitton of water that leaked under the house from it. Which is bad. Ugh No surprise that it was plugged with dust bunnies and a large amount of cat hair. It took about 6 yrs to build up so maybe we have another 6 yrs before it does it again? lol 
• Sat I didn't do much of anything (except got up early to run a few errands) which means I need to do my cleaning today. Ugh

Touching Nature: It wasn't too awful weatherwise. Every morning I feed my critters. I may have gotten some tributes from the crows, but I'm not quite sure. I mean, two pieces of bark and some weird piece of vegetation could have just fallen from the surrounding trees. Who knows? lol I think it was Monday Trip and I worked on cleaning the back deck and I did some planting in some planters. Tomato (beefsteak and cherry), jalapeno, and cantaloupe seeds. We'll see if they grow. Friday morning, before it got too hot, I mowed and Trip took care of the weeds (whacked and sprayed).

 
Book News: I read some. It was an underwhelming amount, but at least it was something.

Don't Touch That Dial!: We finished Without A Trace! Yay! That is a show I will never ever rewatch. Ever. So, we continued on with our Star Wars chronological rewatch (which we'll have to go back and watch Obi-Wan Kenobi when it's complete). We finished Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett (finally watched it) and The Force Awakens. We'll have to decide on something else before we've finished this set.

At the Flicks:  We did see Doctor Strange last week and it was pretty good. I guess we really need to watch the Marvel shows though.

Cyberspace Playground: Still Wordle and Zen Match

Randomness:   

Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: There are way too many stupid, dumbass, I-can't-believe-you-function-at-all people out there. Not a nugget. Just an observation.

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.
