Rain today

We are supposed to get more rain today.... that is a good thing as we need it. It rained a little last night and things are still a little damp... very humid today. Hope we don't get severe storms though as "they" say we might. We have a tree that has lost almost half of the leaves already and we heard it could be because it needs water.... so if we don't get enough rain we will start to water it...I hope it makes it back next year as pretty as ever. We really don't want to cut any more trees down.
Yesterday we went to the card store where all the cards are 59c and I got enough to last me the rest of the year... unless I forgot someone or something comes up. I had a list and we had fun looking for the right cards.... what a good deal and I think the cards are pretty nice too. Then we went to eat lunch and as usual I ate too much..... got to get back on a good diet I think. We also went to TJ Maxx and I didn't see anything I wanted to buy.... probably a first for me...I was looking for a picture for the family room and most were a reasonable price but the one I really liked was $499. I didn't go to a store like that to pay that much, lol   Oh well now I can keep looking and after all I think that is the most fun.... I'm looking for just the right picture... I should show you someday the one I already have in there that is so relaxing.... Its a huge picture of a cat relaxing, takes up almost all the room on the wall in back of the sofa. I want one to put above the fireplace now too. Also need a new sofa. Would like to get it before my son comes for a visit next month but who knows.... I just can't find the right one. I need one that my little dog can fit under. She feels secure under the edge of the sofa when Charlie is around ~ they don't seem to get along. Twinkie and Charlie do but not Peaches. When they were playing Charlie scratched her eye not once but twice and she won't have much to do with him anymore and I can't say I blame her either. Even if Charlie was only a little kitten when it happened. Peaches is not going to take another chance and she watches very closely when Twinkie and Charlie are playing and if she thinks Charlie is getting too rough she takes off after him... She thinks she is Twinkie's mother I think sometimes..... We put the cat in the basement when we go away so they behave. Charlie likes it down there and has a couple of chairs with soft blankets and a litter box etc. Listen to me go on and on.... I think I should go and make my bed and get something done, lol 
Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Just beautiful flowers!  I think your cat is now a celebrity!  You'll have to dress him up and display another photo for us.

I liked your going on....LOL.....Was interesting. I know the feeling of loving a painting and thinking it's too high priced. But if you love it that much, get it. Years ago, I didn't get one I loved a lot and went back to the store the next day because I loved it so much that I felt I'd get it anyway and the painting was gone. :(

Hi Sandra,
Sorry it took me so long to visit your journal. A PCI network card went out on my PC and I had to replace, and I did it myself. I am proud of myself that I didn't have to call a PC tech. :)
Thanks for visiting my journal. I haven't really got a chance to read yours yet, but I am going to. I did glance at the pictures and they are BEAUTIFUL. I am just doing some catch up on people that left comments. I will put your journal in my favs and be back. :)
