It’s been a typical Saturday, not much going on. The twins were here and the biggest thing on the agenda for today was helping the girls make birthday cards for both Tiffany and Missie, their mom and grandma. I also made homemade tomato sauce. My neighbor brought me the last of the tomatoes from his garden. So along with the peppers he brought the other day I made my first delicious tomato sauce. Now I am anxious to use it for spaghetti or other tomato based dinner.
In another drive through my neighborhood I found my photo for the 11th. One of the neighbors have three of these rain collectors. I like the idea and it’s adds character in color and shape to the surroundings.Lowell, my youngest son, stopped to take measurements for the doors that he will be putting up soon. He also took a look at the resume and cover letter I am putting together for Bob. Bob’s job is moving into new management. I am having trouble remembering the dates that he was employed in all of his Security positions. Hopefully whatever I can get will be more than satisfactory.
The word is blessing. I have a strong opinion that a genuine love of books is one of the greatest blessings of life for man and woman, Sara Coleridge. Experience enables me to depose to the comfort and blessing that literature can prove in seasons of sickness and sorrow, Thomas Hood . Let us impart all the blessings we possess, or ask for ourselves, to the whole family of mankind, George Washington. To touch God a little with our mind is a great blessing, to grasp him is impossible, Saint Augustine. And blessings on the falling out That all the more endears, When we fall out with those we love And kiss again with tears! Alfred Lord Tennyson. Get a friend to tell you your faults, or better still, welcome an enemy who will watch you keenly and sting you savagely. What a blessing such an irritating critic will be to a wise man, what an intolerable nuisance to a fool! Charles Spurgeon.
It’s always good to see old building brought to new life. This one is having trouble with the market idea. Apparently fresh food markets don’t go over as well as some want in Columbus This article is about the old Trolley Barn on the eastside of Columbus. The Columbus Board of Education is part of this project. This project original planned to include a market, restaurant and Columbus Brewing brew pub in hopes of future revitalizing the area. This article is talking about how the project could be heading for problems. If a downtown redevelopment portion of the original plans for the project doesn’t happen the project wouldn’t work Investors have questions about the market portion of the project. It is my understanding from this article that without the market the plan may have to be tabled. Apparently the North Market with similar operations couldn’t make it without public subsidies. Though some say that the North Market and the Trolley District are “like apples and bananas.” The developer feels that that neighborhood needs a food type of development along with the housing part of the proposed project. Besides approval from the school board it needs approval from the Columbus City Council. It was interesting to me that the project must have a historic component along with the fact that it is in a low income area and would have a technological component.
I know my neighbor will forgive me for walking along the back of his driveway while he is on vacation to find my gorgeous photo for today. I titled it “the last rose of summer”
Hamburger sandwiches sound good for dinner tonight and roasted potatoes.
