Today only Walmart points shift to a 1OO card

Hey, I was going through my old notes yesterday and found that recipe you mentioned last month. I didn't realize it uses that much lemon zest but honestly it makes sense now that I think about it. We tried a version with orange instead and it was fine but not the same.

The rain finally let up over here so I spent most of the afternoon clearing out the planter boxes by the side door. The soil was still pretty damp but the weeds came out easy enough. I keep meaning to pick up some new mulch but every time I go to the store I forget until the drive back.

Speaking of forgetting things, did you ever get around to watching that documentary about the trains? I started it twice and fell asleep both times, not because it was boring but because it was so calm. The way they talk about the old rail lines makes me want to take a long trip somewhere without a plan.

Anyway, let me know what you think if you give the recipe another try.

I was thinking about what you said regarding the bird feeder placement. You were right that the squirrels find a way no matter what. I moved it again this morning, this time closer to the window but up on that hook we installed last autumn. So far the only visitor has been a sparrow.

I also reorganized the shelf near the back door. Found a small bag of bulbs I forgot to plant in the fall. They've started to sprout inside the bag, which feels like a small miracle or at least a very determined plant. I put them in a shallow dish with a little water and set them on the kitchen sill.

Did you ever finish that puzzle with all the lighthouses? I got stuck on the corner with the clouds for a full week. The pieces all look identical after a while. I ended up sorting by shape instead of color, which actually helped more than I expected.

Let me know if the new feeder spot works any better on your side.

I went with Tuesday at 7 PM for the new meeting time. I checked with everyone in the group, and most people said evenings were easier. We had it at noon before, and two people had to leave early every week. I put the change in the shared calendar yesterday. The room is the same one by the front desk. I will send a reminder on Monday morning with the link for the people who call in. That saves me from printing extra agendas. I think 7 PM works because everyone is done with dinner by then. We will try it for two weeks and then decide if we need to adjust it again.

I got a late start today after the repair person came by at 8:30 to check the kitchen sink. He said the pipe under the cabinet needs a new fitting, so he is coming back Thursday after lunch. I finished the grocery run, but the store was out of the usual sandwich bread, so I got the other kind that costs a dollar more. Traffic on Route 9 was slow near the mall because of construction, which added about 20 minutes. I stopped at the bank on the way and deposited the check from your cousin, so that should clear by Friday. My phone is at 14 percent, and I left my charger in the car, so I am going to plug it in when I get through the door. I should be home around 6:15, maybe 6:30 if the road near the school is backed up. I will start the pasta as soon as I get in. The sauce is already in the fridge from Monday. We can eat by 7 if you want to wait. If not, there are crackers and cheese in the drawer. No need to call me back unless something comes up.

Ill be home later than I said this morning. The bus is running about twenty minutes behind, and I had to wait at the transfer point. That means Ill get in around 6:40 instead of 6:15. I already checked the fridge situation, so I wont need to stop at the store on the way. Theres still some of the chicken from two nights ago, and I can just heat that up. I left my work shoes by the door, so dont move them. I think the back light is still on from this morning, but I turned off the stove before I left.

I'll be back in the office next week starting Monday. I was working from home the past two weeks because of the kitchen repair. The contractor finished on Thursday, so I don't need to be around for that anymore. I'll switch back to my normal 8:30 to 5:00 schedule. It will be easier to handle the paper files that way.

Your points become a 1OO card from Walmart today

Hey, I finally moved that box of books out of the hallway like you asked. Took way longer than I thought because the bottom was full of old photo albums and I got distracted looking through them for about an hour. The ones from that summer trip to the lake are still hilarious, especially the one with the canoe tipped over.
Anyway, the hallway is clear now and I vacuumed behind where the box was sitting. There was a ridiculous amount of dust and a couple of pens I thought I lost months ago.
I also pulled out the recycling bin to the curb since it gets picked up early tomorrow. The bin was pretty full, mostly cardboard from those packages that arrived last week. Next time I will actually break the boxes down before tossing them in.
Oh, and I found your blue sweatshirt wedged behind the couch cushion. It is in the laundry basket now.
My plan for the rest of the evening is just to make some pasta and maybe watch a documentary. Nothing too exciting.

I think I accidentally left my umbrella at the office yesterday, or maybe it fell out of my bag on the way to the parking garage. Honestly could be either one. If you happen to walk by the front desk later and see a dark green one with a wooden handle, would you grab it for me? No rush at all.
I also meant to tell you that the new coffee place on the corner finally opened. I walked past this morning and the line was out the door, which is either a great sign or just opening week chaos.
Maybe we can check it out Thursday if you are around. I am curious about their iced latte but also want to see if their pastries are as good as people keep saying online.
By the way, the little succulent on my windowsill has somehow survived another month, which feels like a personal victory.
Let me know about Thursday and I will figure out the rest of my week from there.

Thank you for being a member.

I have a meeting next Tuesday at 11 AM with two people from the rental office. We are going to look at the hallway closet and the water heater area. I wrote down the list of problems from last month, and I will bring that paper with me. The office said the meeting will take about thirty minutes. I am going to leave work a little early that day so I can be home by 10:45. I already told my supervisor about the early leave, and she said that was fine. After the meeting, I will call my brother and tell him what they decided about the repairs.

Before Tomorrow Comes, Spend Your Sam's Club Points

Honestly, yeah, that kind of thing happens more often than you'd think. When the pantry cabinet latch snapped, we tried three different replacement parts before finding one that actually lined up with the original screw holes. The trick was measuring the inner gap rather than the outside edge, because the frames are never perfectly square. Once we had that dimension written down, the hardware store visit took about ten minutes. I think it had something to do with the 2004 model year, since they changed the hinge style halfway through production. If yours is from around then, you might need the adapter plate too. Let me know if you want a photo of the package label from the one we used. It saved us a lot of back and forth.
Yes, the community garden meeting got moved to Thursday because the Wednesday slot conflicted with the youth soccer practice at the adjacent field. We went over the plot assignments and the watering schedule for the raised beds. Someone suggested we rotate the tomato section next season to avoid the soil issue we noticed in late summer. The herb spiral near the fence is doing better now that we trimmed back the overhanging branches. If you can bring a couple of folding chairs next time, that would help since we keep ending up short. Also, the tool shed lock code is the same as before, just add a zero at the end after the maintenance group changed the cylinder. We should be done in under an hour.

Yes, I finally got the shed reorganized over the weekend. We moved the snowblower to the back corner and hung the extension cords on the new wall hooks. The old metal shelf was too rusted to keep, so we replaced it with a wooden unit from the local supply yard. I also labeled the bins for the holiday lights and the camping gear separately, which should save us a lot of searching next season. The floor mat by the side door is starting to curl though, so I might trim it or just remove it entirely. We found a box of old paint cans that we need to take to the drop-off site, but everything else has a place now. It feels much more open in there.

Changes to your auto policy need a once-over

I checked the calendar and moved our meeting to Tuesday at 9:15 this week. We had it at 2:00 last Tuesday, but I have a repair appointment that afternoon. I let Sam know earlier today, and he said that time works fine for him too. We can still use the same room near the front desk. I also added fifteen minutes at the end for questions, since we ran out of time last week. If Tuesday starts to look busy for you, let me know by Monday afternoon and I can send an alternative. I would rather pick a time that works for all of us than have people rushing to catch up. For now, I am planning on Tuesday morning and will bring a printed copy of the notes so we can go through them together.

I'll be home later than usual today. I checked the bus schedule, and the one I usually take at 5:15 isn't running. The next one comes at 6:05, so I'll get to the stop around 5:55 to be safe. That puts me home close to 7:00 instead of 6:00. I already called and left a message about dinner. There are leftovers in the fridge if you want to eat before I get back. I'll heat something up when I come in.

Walmart points are turning into a 1OO card right now

Hey, I got your note about the weekend plans. Honestly, I think the later train works better for me too.
That way I can finish up the yard work in the morning, grab a quick bite, and still make it downtown before three.
If you want to meet at the corner of the park near the old fountain, that is usually the least crowded spot around that time.
I picked up that new paperback you mentioned, the one about the coastal towns and the disappearing light.
Not too deep into it yet, but the descriptions are sharp and the pacing feels unhurried in a good way.
Bring a light jacket because the breeze off the water tends to pick up after sunset.
I will keep my phone on vibrate in case either of us needs to shift the timing.
Looking forward to catching up and hearing how the pottery class has been going.
That small blue and gray bowl you made is still sitting on my kitchen shelf next to the jar of dried rosemary.
Anyway, send a quick reply if the fountain spot still works. Otherwise, the bench by the bike path is a solid backup.

I finally took the screen out of the back window so the afternoon light hits the plant shelf directly.
The little fern on the left is thriving now, but the one by the radiator still looks a bit pale.
I might swap its spot with the jade plant and see if that helps over the next few weeks.
Earlier I walked down to the corner store for some oat milk and noticed they started carrying that honey you like.
The extra creamy kind with the blue label was on the top shelf, mixed in with the wrong brand.
I moved a couple jars forward just in case you stop by later this week.
After that I spent a while sorting through the pile of old maps in the hallway closet.
Found one from that trip to the northern peninsula with the pencil marks still along the coast road.
Might frame it and put it above the desk next to the small photo from the overlook.
Let me know what night works for that pasta place with the striped awning.
I can do Wednesday or Thursday, but earlier is better since it fills up fast.
No rush on replying. Just wanted to send the note while the day was still quiet.
Hope the library meeting went well and the projector did not give you trouble this time.

100 card today from your Walmart points

Hey, I just wanted to follow up on that thing we talked about last week. I ended up trying the new trail near the reservoir, and it was actually pretty nice in the morning before it got too hot. The wildflowers are starting to come in along the ridge, and there were way more birds than I expected. I forgot my binoculars, which was annoying, but I still got a decent look at a few warblers near the creek. Next time I go, I'll probably head out earlier and bring more water.

By the way, did you ever finish that book you borrowed? I keep thinking about the chapter where they go to the coast and everything shifts. I won't spoil anything, but the ending surprised me more than I thought it would. Let me know if you want to grab coffee this weekend and compare notes. I'm around both days and can drive over to your side of town. Also, I finally fixed the squeaky hinge on my back door, so if you still need help with yours, I can bring the same set of tools. Nothing urgent, just let me know.

I'm glad you asked about the trail markers, because I actually had to double check a few of them myself. The blue blazes are pretty faded in a couple spots, especially after the second creek crossing. I almost went off toward the old logging road before I noticed a fresh yellow tie on a branch. Honestly, if you go after a rain, expect some mud along the north loop, but it dries out quickly.

The parking area was busier than I expected for a weekday, so I ended up parking along the gravel shoulder a little farther down. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. I think the best time to go is definitely before nine, because the sun hits the ridge pretty hard later in the day. I stopped for a snack at that shaded overlook near the big oak, and it was totally worth the climb. Let me know how your shoulder is feeling these days, because some of those switchbacks are steeper than they look. I can send you the map pin I used if that helps.

Your Club points expire tomorrow - dont wait

Okay so for the team offsite next month, I think we should consider a different approach with the agenda. Instead of doing the usual full day of presentations, maybe we break it into shorter blocks with more discussion time built in. People seemed drained by three in the afternoon last time, and I heard a few folks say they would have preferred more small group work. Also, regarding the catering, do you know if there is a way to request more vegetarian options without making it a whole separate order? I remember someone at the last session could not find anything beyond the garden salad. Let me know what you think about the timing too, because if we are starting at nine, we might need to adjust the breakfast setup window for the conference room before people arrive. I can coordinate with facilities once we lock the schedule.

I get what you are saying about the garden bed layout. If we move the tomato plants to the back row, they will not shade the basil as much during the late afternoon. But we also need to think about the cucumber trellis, because once those vines start climbing, they could block the morning sun from the peppers. Maybe we can angle the whole setup slightly so the tallest things sit to the north end. That way everything still gets enough light through the day but nothing gets completely cast over. Also do you think we should add another layer of mulch before the next heat wave rolls through? The soil dried out faster than I expected last week. I am planning to do a deep watering on Thursday evening either way.

Walmart point balance now converting into hundred card

Hey, I meant to get back to you sooner about the team lunch idea. I think the taco place on the corner would actually work better than the diner since they have that side room with the big windows. Last time we went there for the office birthday thing, everyone seemed to enjoy the salsa bar and the staff was really quick even though we had a dozen people. I remember Josh asked for extra napkins three times and they never acted annoyed about it, which is saying something because he can be a lot when he is hungry. The parking situation is also way easier there since you can use the lot behind the bank across the street after five. I figure we can aim for twelve fifteen or so to beat the other lunch crowd, but I am flexible if you want to go a bit later. Let me know what you think and I can text the rest of the group or put it in the chat we already have going. Also, I still have that book you let me borrow last month, the one about the national parks, and I can bring it with me so you get it back before your trip out west. I meant to return it earlier but things kept piling up and I kept forgetting to grab it on my way out the door. It is sitting on my kitchen counter right now with a sticky note on it so I will not miss it again.
Anyway, no rush on a response, just wanted to toss that idea out there while I was thinking about it. Talk soon.

I was going through that cabinet in the hallway yesterday and found the extra phone charger you left here after the game night back in March. It is one of those braided gray ones with the little Velcro strap, and it still works fine. I tested it on my phone for about an hour and it charged faster than the one I keep by my bed, which honestly made me consider keeping it. But I will not do that to you. I will toss it in my bag today so I do not forget it again, and you can grab it whenever we see each other next. I also came across that small notebook with the green cover that belongs to Sam, I think, unless it is yours. It has a bunch of notes about birdwatching spots and some very enthusiastic sketches of a kingfisher that I am almost certain Sam drew because nobody else we know gets that excited about water birds. Anyway, I will bring both things to the next hangout or drop them by your place if you want. I know you said you were going to try that new coffee spot by the library this weekend, so if you end up going Saturday morning I could swing by around nine and hand them over then. I should be up early anyway because the neighbor is having a fence put in and the crew starts around seven, which has been a real treat for my sleep schedule all week.
Let me know what works. I can also just leave them in the mailbox if you are not around, but only if you are okay with that since the charger is kind of nice and I would not want it to disappear.
