July 15, 2025 @ 20:08 Good evening family & friends
I finished up the laundry today, had it all hung well before noon. Neighbor came and took the rest of the tree off our shed (I should go take another picture) that had fallen a couple of days ago*. Charlie and her sister walked over, brushed Maisie, watered the garden for me, and applied a last coat of spray paint to the tires. The work Bill did on the front porch* is working out SO WELL and we've had several neighbors come over to comment on how nice it looks :). I slept a lot. Oh yeah...and there was something stinky in here, like something died in the wall, for nearly a week...when Bill was here this morning he even commented on it. While I was sleeping Pete tore apart the kitchen to see what he could find - nothing. Later I happened to look behind the microwave and there was a package of meat of some sort - hard to tell by this point - that had fallen behind and rotted and dripped down the back of the tool cart that I use for a counter/cupboard space...and at the pool on the floor were too many maggots to count! Oh. My. Goodness. WHAT A MESS!! But Pete got it all cleaned up in here and now it smells fine. (That would also account for the big influx of flies we've had in here this last week!) Ordered a pizza for dinner [https://chiachow.net/what-i-eat], I had a coupon, and did a Tuesday Titters post [https://chia.owly.net/tuesday-titters-july-15-2025-edition]. OK, I guess that's it, I have a whopper of a headache and am going to bed soon. I will see you in the morning

That brings back a memory. Blessed mom cooked dinner. I think I was in middle school. I didn’t want to eat anymore meat. So I threw it behind the refrigerator. The apt had high ceilings and the fridge had no cabinets above it. A week later maggots were crawling out from under there. Mom moved the fridge, saw the meat and maggots. So yucky. Glad she let it slide. She probably thought it was my little sister who did. She was mom’s favorite.
