Friday Fragments....

It's Friday and time for Friday Fragments hosted for the summer by the Unknown Mami.  Go on over and link up to dump all the leftovers from your week.

We took a small break and rode up to our property to do a little target shooting.  

My sister shooting.  


This is our man made pond at sundown.  It's about a foot deep and I don't think I'm kidding.  But it's kind of pretty.

You may remember my little episode with the deputies in the neighborhood and how I couldn't keep my mouth shut?  Well, as I was driving out of the neighborhood yesterday, I saw what was obviously a detective (at least he had a badge attached to his belt and a gun on his hip), stopped like an idiot, rolled down my window and asked if he was looking for someone.  OK, he was just walking down the street and I'm a curious woman!!  He said kind of sarcastically "should I be?"  I answered that I didn't know.  He did finally tell me that someone on our street had their car broken into overnight and he was walking through the neighborhood checking to see if anyone else had that problem.  WHAT???  He was walking.  It was H.O.T.  I'm thinking of keeping my mouth shut from now on, but just thinking....

On a stop at the bank, these two parked their wheelchair and walked into the bank.  He's not pushing anyone, that chair is empty, but if they want to sit and take a break an umbrella is attached.  Pretty good idea!  

It reminded me of the things on Betty White's show Off Their Rockers.

This week has been long and tiring.  Mama's apartment at the retirement center has to be completely redone due to mold, that's right mold!  So many apartments have to be cleaned and it takes a while so residents move into a vacant apartment while the renovation is being completed.  Mama was supposed to move Tuesday.  My sister came to help and guess what? Right!  You guessed it!  They're not moving her this week and we really don't have a firm date.  This whole moving out and back in process is very confusing to all the residents and so it was frustrating that we were put on hold.  Sigh.

My car has an automatic lift gate and it's one of the features I really like.....except when I forget to use it properly.  We were taking a few rolls of paper towels and some other supplies to mama when we made a quick stop at T*rget.  Our purchases safely in the back, we took off.  There was an odd air leak kind of sound and I thought a window was cracked.  That is until I figured out I forgot to push the button to lower the back gate!  Not one other vehicle honked their horn or pointed as paper towel rolls flew out the back!  That was really special!

I had a little scare while having a routine test right in the middle of all the other stress and while I was wondering if I should panic, this scripture came to my mind.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  Psalm 139:16

All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
(Psalm 139:16)

The Lord was reminding me that He alone knows the number of my days.

Everything turned out fine and I'll just have a recheck in six months. 

Wow!  My fragments are awfully fragmented. So I'll just say

Have a wonderful weekend!
