Chewlee wanted to continue with the Harry Potter episodes and so we watched them until I took her home around 7:30pm or so. The Princess returned home from taking pictures of an engaged couple right after I dropped off Chewlee. She had spent over two hours finding different sites for the pictures but she was happy with what she had taken.
In a way, I was glad Chewlee didn't get to see the last two episodes. They are the most violent and saddest episodes of the whole series. I haven't been sure she should see them until she is a bit older. But I watched them again and cried a few times even though I knew what was coming. I hadn't watched the whole series in ages. I was amazed at how the stars had gotten older just as their characters did. I am still crying a bit over the scene where all the people that died for Harry show up to let him know they are still with him....in his heart. I won't say why they appear in case you haven't seen that part of the series (The Deathly Hallows, Part 1&2).
I finally got my clothes both washed and dried. Now I just have to fold all the things that didn't need hanging up. I just got too involved watching the last of the movies to fold them. Shame on me...LOL. The ending still gets to me.
On to other things that happened when I paused the movies...... I discovered that the Beast has been giving Chewlee his change and she has been keeping it in the dresser. It has sections on each side of the mirror you can use for pictures and two of the have doors with etched glass in them. That is where she has been keeping it all and she's really getting quite a bit of money. She counted it today and she almost has five dollars now. She was rather hoping to go spend some of it if the Beast or I went to the store but we didn't. So she says she will wait until the next time she comes to stay. We both hope that won't be too far away. I urged her to do her housework completely and without any complaints. We shall see if she does. That's been her mother's big complaint lately. She does part of it but not completely.
She talked a lot about the things she had seen (from the movies) when she was at the Universal studio. She would get excited and say *I saw that* or *I was there*...it was cute. I was glad she had a good time.
The Beast went and bought us some coffee beans since we were low on coffee. He bought them yesterday because the coffee he ordered from Amazon hasn't gotten here yet. He was hoping to find our Kauai coffee but all they had was Kona coffee. He ordered two different varieties to see which we might like. He just doesn't think we can afford the Kauai and he's right just because of what our insurances (medical, car, house) costs us. I wish in many ways that I hadn't taken my SS early. Our finances would be in much better shape because then I would be getting almost as much as the Beast instead of half. I was making good money at our AC company and that helped me a lot as far as what I am getting. I understand now that they have pushed back the age you must be for full SS benefits. I guess I should be grateful. Oh well. C'est la vie!
It was another hot day but it was bright and sunny. Dennis stopped by for a bit and Chewlee was happy to see him. She WAS going to go over to their house to visit and I told her she could probably go and visit with Di if she wanted. She didn't want to for some reason. I guess what she was really curious about was seeing the inside of the house. I told her that when she came next time, I would take her over there so she could see what the house was like.
I watched a program the other day about the decline of bees due to urbanization. In some areas, that is probably true but the bees sure get enough food in THIS area. We aren't the only people planting gardens and lots of flowers for them to get the food they need. Plus many of the farmers around us have their own bee hives. I didn't realize that until I heard some people talking the other day when I was at the Dollar Store. They were talking about getting the honey out of their hives and storing it away. One woman said she hated the outfits they have to wear to do it but they love the honey so they do it anyway. They are worried about the African bees infiltrating our area but know that the cold of winter would kill them off. It's why they are in the Southwestern states. Those areas don't get as cold and don't get snow.
Well, time to get this posted and put my butt in bed. I was falling asleep in my computer chair even while Chewlee was here. She made sure I stayed awake....LOL. Love you all. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and you have a great week. ***Hugs***
