It has been a while since I posted anything, almost a month. I don't think I've ever gone that long. Things are good at Shadymont. I live alone now, but that's ok. I've learned to do it again. I lived alone for 5 years between my first husband's death and my 2nd marriage. Just took him 13 years to get tired of me. (lol) But I find that I'm happy right here. I cook once a week for my daughter and granddaughter, she cooks one time a week for me. But I mostly eat ceral and salads. Haven't lost a lot of weight, but my water bill is down quite a bit. I don't run the dishwasher but about once a week. I run the washer when I have full loads.
I was having lots of repair bills on my 17 year old SUV (235,000) miles on it. I was just drivig through a local car sales place last Saturday, and found the perfect little vehicle for me @ 24 miles per gallon. $ 30.00 for a fulll tank, and it has bells and whistles, I'll probably never understand. It's a Hyundai Sante Fe, silver, leather interior, panoramic roof. It's a 2015, but only had 29,000 miles on it. I bought it for a great price, so now I don't mind getting out on the road and going somewhere in it. I just didn't feel comfortable in the SUV anymore.
I got a new Iphone that is way too smart for me. I bought it on Monday and had to have it to the Apple Store today because it had locked down. I couldn't even use it and those things are NOT cheap. It's still acting a little quirky, but I will call Apple Support and see if they can figure out what else it needs. I really wish they would have just taken it back and given me a new one, but not so!
I bought my sister a tea pot at GW this week, and for me a picture frame, a couple like- new blouses and a new pair of jeans, all for $17.00. Some of the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn.
Last Saturday was my birthday and my daughter gave me a surprise party at a Sushi restaurant. There were 21 of our family were there, and it really was a surprise, not a soul had slipped and told me. We had a wonderful time. One of my nieces gave me flowers and that gave me an opportunity to use the 5-fingered vases I've collected.
I think I got this sign at Kirklends. (it's on the shelf with my grands.)

I haven't been doing much shopping recently, except I hit a great sale at Belk this week and purchased a pair of boots (to the knee) reg. $90.00 for $19.99. They had gorgeous tops, BOGO, that was a good deal as well.I got a new Iphone that is way too smart for me.

I placed them through the house and am really enjoying them, especially the white one.
