Welcome to the TTOT for this week! Let’s get to it!
Daddy would have been 100 on June 18. I am grateful to have had him for a father and that he is always looking after me from the other side.

2. We got to go to the beach for a day and it was so refreshing and we cooked fresh shrimp when we got home. It was wonderful to see how the beachgoers practiced social distancing. The place where we ate was our first time in a restaurant since this pandemic. We were the first customers, wore masks until we were free of others, were way over six feet from others (an advantage of being first customers). The wait staff and cooks all wore masks, as well. We set up out chairs and umbrellas on the upper tier of the beach, so we were on top looking down to the ocean. It was a great view, but kept us in a safety zone.
Jodi is happy to be at the beach
3. 4. Progress with repairs in the home. They are maybe going to finish up today with putting up drywall from the repairs. There is now a new shower handle unit. Thankful, as well, that there is a second shower.
5. For the most part, I have not done any work related stuff this week, taking a break to reset my brain.
6. Beautiful flowers along the highway. North Carolina does a fantastic job of planting flowers alongside the interstates, making lovely pops of color along the way. Some know I do not favor interstate driving, but it is good when trying to just get somewhere faster than the back roads. One of my most favorite things is to go backroading, taking in all the awesome sights. I especially enjoy the old buildings and the wildflowers, farm lands, and the old time charm you often miss on the interstate.
7. Bathrooms while traveling.
8. Sanitary disinfectant cloths.
9. Fun with cardmaking with daughter. With the rainy days of staycation, we worked for two days on making cards.
Raymond Burr was an excellent, award-winning actor, who I first remember as playing Perry Mason and eventually he played a detective by the name of Robert T. Ironside, who battled crime from his wheelchair in a van. The story was that he was in a wheelchair because he was paralyzed from an assassination attempt, but I digress.
While much of my exposure to Burr was via the television, he was a well-known actor in the movie industry. Starting out in a repertory theatre group from Toronto, in 1934, he moved on to New York where he gained recognition in Broadway, continuing in at least 50 feature films; With a voice for radio, he worked in broadcasting, as well.
He played in a variety of films from horror to romance to crime, and more. It was television of which he performed from around 1957 to 1993, leaving this world that same year.

Good Morning and Welcome to TTOT where we take a moment once a week and reflect on the thankfulness of the week prior. Let’s get at it.
Today is the beginning of our “staycation.” We are still home bound, but we are not going to work. We have plans to make the most of it all. I am grateful we are having a break.
Editing – I am grateful to have the honor of editing some very fine works this week. One of the perks is to be able to read other’s works be entertained before I get out the red pencil. As some of you know, I do not edit my TTOT posts. This is the main time I go freestyle. I am grateful I can be free to be me.
Daughter is here and helps with tech support. She’s quite good at solving if headsets are wonky and other things. Could be because she lives with hers attached to her ears. She recently upgraded to a bluetooth, noise-canceling headset and, believe me, it works. She talks on her phone and listens to music every chance she gets.
Maintenance is great! We have a leak from our shower plumbing and I should say had a leak because they replaced the unit. Today, we hope to have the drywall replaced. I am grateful that when we call about water leaks they come running!
Comfortable clothes since I am at home. Sure wouldn’t want to wear heels and hose and makeup. HA
Renovations are close to being completed at our clubhouse and that means it won’t be much longer before the pool is usable. It’s a requirement to have bathrooms available for the pool to be used. Well, yeah. No tinkling in the pool, please.
As a teacher, I will always remain a student. In the classroom of life, l wish to work with and educate others. Whether you’re a teacher, student, or just your average person, here are a few of my "TEACHERble" moments.
