Sunday Salon---a brief update on the past week


I'll be brief.

Weather: It is sunny right now but will be sprinkling in a minute, I'm sure. One of those on and off days.

George Floyd trial: The police officer, Derek Chauvin, was found guilty on all three counts for the murder of Mr. Floyd. A alternate juror said she would have voted guilty because she listened to the testimony of the witnesses. There was no doubt in her mind as to the guilt of  Mr. Chauvin. Praise the Lord. Justice was done.

Waterwalk: (See photo above) We live near the Puget Sound. On nice days/evenings there is nothing so splendid as taking a walk along a series of parks on Rustin Way. We could see Mt. Rainier in the background. Lots of people were strolling, walking dogs, skating, or skateboarding when we joined the throng, most wearing face masks. We sat and ate our fish-n-chips looking out over the Sound where big ocean-going vessels were anchored and small boats of all types could be seen.

Freezer: This week I defrosted the freezer. Big whoop, I know. But oh boy, what a lot of wasted food in there. I found meat and vegetables that had been in there since 2015! I am determined to not do that again, so I am trying an app called AnyList where I can add and subtract inventory. That way I won't keep using the most recent foodstuff and ignore the items that have been in longer. Fingers crossed.

24-hour-readathon: I am participating in a readathon this week-end trying to knock off a bunch of books which have been on my nightstand for too long. Read about my progress here.

Zoom church: Look who joined us for church today---our daughter and her boys.
