Monday 1 March 2021 Planting Parsley

-
Recently at my local Dollar Tree in Thomasville, NC, I found a product called Herb Rocket. It is herb seeds in a rollup mat. The directions indicate that you just plant them and water them. Several different herbs were available; I chose Italian parsley, because I use a lot of it in cooking. Just planted it in my patio area. Will see how it goes.

Thomasville Public Library Adult Summer Reading Program and Book Sale

 Yesterday was the first day to sign up for the Adult Summer Reading Program at the Thomasville Public Library, and so I did. There are weekly prize drawings, scavenger hunts in the library for additional prizes, free movies, free craft classes, and book clubs. There will be a kickoff party for all of the summer reading programs (adult and children) on June 15.  While I was there, I also went to the library's current book sale, which runs through June 15.

January 21, 2025 -- The 103rd Wedding Anniversary of my Grandparents

-
 Today is the 103rd anniversary of the day that my grandparents were married in a small town in North Carolina. Atlas and Veda Freeman, my maternal grandparents. To me, they were Grandpa and Grandma Freeman. It is really quite amazing to stop and think about how different North Carolina (and the USA as a whole) are now from that January day in 1922. It amazes me to think of the changes that they witnessed in their lives, one born in 1892 and dying in 1982; the other born in 1898, and living until 1990.  Of course, in my own lifetime, I have seen a lot of changes happen, good and bad. It just seems to me that the ones that my grandparents saw were far greater and life-changing that those that I have seen. I suppose it depends on your perspective. I think that about my parents, as well, one of whom was born in 1937 and died in 2010; the other born in 1934 and still living.  Technically, my grandparents were married during the Roaring Twenties. My parents were both born duri...

Thursday Afternoon at Walgreens

-
Yesterday afternoon my dog Ellie and I took my mom to Walgreens on Julian Avenue here in Thomasville for a 230 appointment for a flu vaccine. She was inside for a really long time. She wasn't given ANY of the normal paperwork they are legally obligated to give regarding any vaccine that you are given, let alone a receipt. She said they told her that there was a glitch in their online system, and they couldn't see any information that people had put online, so she had to fill it out again. She also said that she heard the pharmacy staff tell people that it would be a 16 hour wait for any prescriptions that were dropped off, and that at least 2 customers told her that they were moving their prescriptions to other pharmacies. At the same time they were making vaccination customers with scheduled appointments wait over an hour, the pharmacy staff said that your appointment was cancelled if you weren't already there at the exact minute of your appointment time. Although how they...
