With a nod to Poppy's mum

Earlier this week, or maybe last week, Poppy posted something about her mum being down to one roll of toilet paper and needing to buy more.

This fueled my own obsession over having enough on hand -- I was down to a mere 18 double rolls and in almost-panic mode.

So thanks to Poppy and her mum, I now have an extra 22 double rolls on hand, for a total of 40, certainly enough to get me through till Dad and Hélène's visit later in the fall, when I can stock up in earnest via his rental vehicle.

There's just something about stock-piling tp (and paper towel) that I find very comforting.  :-)

Mr. Bee, snapped by WalMart while waiting for a bus.
 New-to-me cat in our complex. Another one let loose to roam.
 In our greater neighbourhood, not in my complex.
 One damselfly that Derry didn't eat.
 New plant "stand":
A coated steel shoe rack, minus its middle shelf, from Home Depot. Very sturdy.
 In the cemetery yesterday morning.
 Melinda's grave, decorated with some summer ornaments.
 
 Mr. Frog. I startled him, walking by the (scummy) pond.
A few flowers outside the library that's by the "big" shopping centre.
 
 
 
The week's almost over -- and I'd still like a do-over for this staycation. LOL.

Peace.

Time goes by quickly when you're doing something you want to do instead of what you have to do!
Our mom went to Costco yesterday and came home with a huge pack of 30 double rolls of toilet paper. Sounds like your mom and ours think alike.

LOL Kim - Couldn't help but laugh at this post... I too have a thing about having lots of TP in the house - although I am pretty sure my obsession is brought on by the trauma of newspapers in the out house as kids... What brought yours on? Or is it another one of our genetic quirks :D
Glad you have had a nice time off.
I'm still laughing about the toilet paper. Too funny!

One damselfly that Derry HASN'T EATEN. :)

I'm with you on the tp and paper towel, it's an absolute necessity to enough to outfit a houseful.

Love the pics, but I sure wish people would keep their cats safely indoors, and only under supervision outdoors.

Hope the rest of your staycation slows to a crawl. Enjoy!

I can tell by your beautiful pics that you're having a really nice staycation. That's great!

I love stockpiling necessities, tp definitely being one of them. Too funny.

I wonder if that damselfly knows how lucky it is. :)

Kim, your pictures are wonderful! Multiply that black cat in your second photo by 10, vary the sizes to accommodate kittens, and you have our backyard.
That cemetery is so beautiful. Love these pics... especially the frog!

Kim, I told you something in an email how I feel about your spirit and your heart. I mean it still. You are a dear and good person. xo
