JUL 28, 26.. CONDO YELLOW PARKING LINES

Back, way back, on October the 14th, 2024, I re-painted a yellow parking line in our Condominium Parking Lot. 

We published a Post showing this project. IF you would like to review our Post, please click onto the below link to return to October 14th 2024.

A month or so ago, our Condo Association advised all of us that they were going to re-paint all of the parking lines in our community parking lots.

Then we were given an exact date this work would be accomplished.

Step One. Everyone was supposed to have moved their vehicle out into the street or across the street to a neighboring parking lot. 95% of the residents complied.

You can see our white Chevrolet Suburban parked on the street.


You can also see in the above photo, why re-painting the parking lot
lines was a great idea! In wet weather it was impossible to see the lines!

Although we were aware of the exact date, it was not possible to spend the entire day "waiting and watching" for the Work Crew!

Work Crew? Did I just write "Work Crew"? 

One man, all by himself, re-painted the entire parking lot!!


 

In three of the above photos, you can see in the background cars parked that were never moved. Guess what? Our "One Man Crew" was able to squeeze in lines beside each of them!

A few photos of the nifty little rig that the one man used to do all of the line painting by himself.





The below photo may be the best photo I captured. Keep in mind he was moving!

I kept periodically "looking out in front". Suddenly the parking lines where we try to always park were already painted!







 
Now we are going to go out back to our covered, carport assigned parking area (in the left distance in the above photo) and see him up close in action.

The next five photos are where our Suburban parks when we park back here because we can't park out front.







If you look closely at his line you will see a very small place where  his rig's paint gun malfunctioned.


He just got off his rig and "on the spot" fixed things up!



Amazing! Talk about "A One Man Show"!

Well there you all have it. I never knew how parking lines were painted. Now we all know.

JUL 26, 26 (2 / 2) .. PATTI'S FLOWERS .. SUMMER 2026

In Part 1 below, following this Part 2, Patti and I purchased four small plants at our local Home Depot Store.

In Part 1 we neglected to tell you what the flowers are!

Taa - Daa !! 



They are "Mexican Heather". Now you know!

No! So sorry! We were running out of daylight and we wanted these two posts to be dated July the 26, 2026. 

So, unlike some of our previous years, we did not have the time to photograph preparing (dense watering) the Planter Boxes, removing the Mexican Heather Plants from their "root bound" store containers, and planting them in their new homes, etc.

Taa - Daa !! Finished !!

JUL 26, 26 (1 / 2) .. PATTI'S FLOWERS .. SUMMER 2026 ..

 This past Thursday, Patti and I made our Summer 2026 visit over to our local Home Depot to pick out our Summer 2026 Flowers.

It's like Home to us! 

Gee Dad! Thanks! /s/ Your Home Depot.







Into the back of our truck our flowers go, safe in their box!


Last summer we decided to "downsize" from our previous wooden Planter Boxes to two, round, plastic Planter Boxes.




Next will come Part 2.

JUL 25, 26.. CHOCOLATE ..

CHOCOLATE.. 

But it really is..

HOT FUDGE..

    

National Hot Fudge Sundae Day arrives every July 25th.

Hot Fudge Sundae Day celebrates one of America’s most beloved desserts. This iconic treat, with its rich history and irresistible combination of warm fudge and cold ice cream, offers pure nostalgic bliss. Gather your favorite toppings, visit a local parlor, or craft your own masterpiece at home to join the sweet celebration!


After all! This IS a Program of Honesty! 

IF there weren't, at least several of you, who also check out NATIONAL TODAY Holidays along with Patti and myself, I might very well have skipped this Holiday!!

But, when the Hot Fudge Sundae Holiday IS the first, the top of the list of Holidays, there was no missing it!

The defining feature of a hot fudge sundae is, of course, the warm, rich chocolate fudge sauce. Unlike cold chocolate syrup, hot fudge creates a delightful contrast with the cold ice cream, offering a unique texture and intensified flavor.

JUL 24, 26.. SELF-CARE..

 Patti, thank you so very much for calling Self Care to my attention. 

This is yet another NATIONAL TODAY Holiday that I completely overlooked.

SELF CARE DAY..


International Self-Care Day champions personal well-being every July 24th.

Yes! Self Care can mean staying in bed and sleeping!



But Self Care is a lot more than that sleeping!

Self Care is about prioritizing your mental, physical, and emotional needs. 

Dr. Bill Hettler, a co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) in 1976, is widely recognized for his pioneering work in the wellness movement. He developed the 'Six Dimensions of Wellness' model, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and occupational well-being. His contributions have significantly shaped how we understand and approach holistic self-care.




There sure is more to read on the NATIONAL TODAY Holiday website if you click on the below link.



There you have Self Care.
