The Gentleman in the 4th of July Vlog
I'm glad to have been thought of as a gentleman in the 4th of July vlog, where I held the door open for Diana. It's always appreciated when someone is willing to help, and it shows that people still care about showing kindness to one another.
Diana's Expectations
However, my ability to hold doors open might not be entirely consistent. You usually expect me to do this, but sometimes I forget. This time, I decided to take the initiative and hold the door open for Diana. I wanted to make sure she was safe and sound before closing the door behind her.
Baby Blocks and Sun Protection
After holding the door open, we headed outside to enjoy some fresh air. Diana likes to sit in the sun, but I prefer to stay in the shade. We ended up sitting at a table instead of outdoors, as Diana can enjoy the sunlight while I remain protected from it.
Gestures and Punctuation
I've been trying to figure out if a smiley face (smiley) can be used as punctuation marks. The answer is no, according to me. A smiley face is like the end of a sentence, but it's not enough on its own to serve as a punctuation mark.
Puns and Language
My attempts at humor often lead to puns. I mentioned that sometimes a smiley face (smiley) can't be used as punctuation marks because it doesn't have an eyeball – only a smile. This got me thinking about whether a smiley face can be used as a period, which could potentially be considered a punctuation mark.
The Sofa and Pillow
We came home from our outing and let the dogs out of their yard. I also snagged one of my favorite socks, which unfortunately met an untimely demise after being destroyed. While it was a new sock at the time, it's now a rag that can be used for other purposes.
The State of Diana's Lilies
Unfortunately, not all plants fare well in our garden. Two of Diana's lilies are struggling to survive due to stress and strain from living in our yard.
Crazy for Bargains Package Arrival
My package from Crazy for Bargains arrived, complete with a new pair of bare slippers (or bare foot slippers). The excitement was palpable as I opened the box and discovered these delightful treats.
Crunchy Cookie Butter Addiction
I must confess that I have a weakness for crunchy cookie butter. It's a favorite snack of mine, and I've been indulging in it regularly. Remember when I allegedly repaired the latch on this gate? Well, I ended up super gluing it back into place, ensuring it would never come loose again.
Club W Wine Subscription
My first shipment from Club W has arrived! This subscription service offers personalized wine recommendations based on your flavor profile. I took their advice and now have three new bottles of wine to try – not all at the same time, of course.
Dirty Laundry and Nostalgia
On this lazy Sunday afternoon, we're revisiting some nostalgic moments from the past. The 80s are calling our names, with beloved toys like GI Joe and Transformers. Diana's also sporting a Care Bear mask, which always brings back fond memories.
Camera and Lens Cap
My new lens cap has overstayed its welcome, much to my frustration. It's supposed to protect the big lens but often dangles in front of the camera, causing distractions. I need to find a better solution for this issue.
Posture and Listening
I've been practicing good posture, although it's an ongoing challenge. My hearing also plays a crucial role, as I sometimes struggle to hear what others are saying. Diana's listening to an audiobook in the background, which is helping me keep the volume low so as not to disturb her.
Garbage Pile Kids (GPKs) and Collecting
In exchange for a full bonus card set from BNS 2 of GPK, I spent hours consulting with experts on this popular toy series. The alternative versions are now complete, and my collection is back in top shape.
The Evening Ahead
As night falls, our evening schedule is clear: nothing at all. We're taking it easy tonight, enjoying the quiet moment to ourselves.
