A Little Jon Stewart and Canadian Geese

Between yesterday and today I caught up to the last week of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and shed a few tears along with everyone else I imagine, when Stephen Colbert was saying his final goodbye. No one can replace him, it is truly the end of an era. I hope the episodes will be online to go back and watch ones I missed from earlier this summer.

I better get off my can and get some things accomplished today. I am finishing up sewing a top and I still have so much work in the yard to do it's not even funny. Next Sunday is the Around The Corner annual picnic out at Hovander Homestead Park and I'm hoping the weather is good and Mother Nature doesn't chose that one day in this very dry summer to give us a downpour.

This 'n That- August 2, 2015

I am slowly catching up to things at home now that the overtime has ended at work. One of the things I need to catch up on before I possibly miss the chance is older episodes of The Daily Show. I am actually months behind, but have caught up to a few here and there including some of July.

I am going to be very sad to see Jon Stewart retire from it, but have to respect his reasons for leaving. I read a good article in today's The Detroit Free Press from Julie Hinds that pretty well nails it as to why I loved the show and him as host. He has been so funny lately skewering Donald Trump, oh man, think of all we'll be missing!


I have been feeling guilty that I am not getting as caught up as I should on taking care of the yard, but it's just been too damn hot! This has been the hottest driest summer since I moved here, and it has been so hard for me to get motivated to get outside because basically I don't feel like sweating like a pig.

I'm hopefully going to complete my latest sewing project of another summer dress today, but would like to get back to working on refinishing the top of the drafting table too. I don't think that I ever featured one of my earliest completed refinishing project before; this antique desk chair I bought from Steve's shop downtown. It had a kind of light brown finish on it, but it mostly needed to be redone because it was pretty nicked up over time. It is actually a very comfy chair.







With the pending move at some point by next spring, I keep thinking about the antique chair I got from Eddree that needs to be re-upholstered. I don't know how I'm going to deal with that yet, but it's definitely in the back of my mind.

Zero Dark Foodie


With all of the overtime at work done as of this last week, this was my first full weekend off. I am trying to catch up to The Daily Show, which I am now about 2 1/2 months behind, due also, to the Walking Pneumonia in May. I also need to catch up on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the latest season started June 19th I think-

Fathers Day


A quote for Father's Day from Jon Stewart artfully rendered by the duo Danger Dust.

On this Father's Day, I was thinking about what makes me think about my dad, and it was his sense of humor and laughter mostly. Also his love and appreciation of nature, all things that are a big part of who I am and what I enjoy.
