full moon
Feeling some better today. Maybe it's the full moon.
Mary did some housecleaning till lunch time. But, we didn't feel especially hungry then. Watched the first half of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) from Netflix. Two hours, forty minute! Spanish language option, with English subtitles. I love LOR, but this prequel left us with a blah feeling. No unifying theme I could see.
We took a break for a late lunch. More of the chicken noodle soup.
Almost 4:00 pm. before we headed into town. We don't usually do our Walmart thing so late, but we were in a weird, rainy day, schedule-be-damned full moon mood. Looked for more lantanas in the garden section. None. Bought a navy bathroom towel set for nephew Joel and his Tabitha's wedding shower. Shopped for groceries. Continued in the weird mode by buying a frozen pizza. Imagine that. Pizza is a no no. Frozen is worse. Full moon.
Mary was button-holed by the Mexican Jehovah Witness lady she tries to avoid. Mary, a devout Catholic, avoids those folks, nice as they are, like the plague. She attempts to direct them to other topics, but has only momentary success. Every turn in the road finds its way back to proselytizing.
"But, I'm Catholic."
Took the wrong camera with me, the older Sony "travel zoom" I use for closeups. The resulting pics, taken with Walmart's lighting, were muddy.We had left for Walmart during a break in the rain. When we came out, we noticed it had rained again while we were inside. Back home, more rain set in. We never got wet. Full moon.
63 °F, rain.

The Jehovah Witness' are some of the most persistent people around! Too bad Mary couldn't escape. Glad you were able to run your errands without being caught in the rain! Sometimes being out of sync is a good thing - lets you reset without getting jet lag!
The JW people are just doing what they are told by witnessing, but I wonder if they realize that their persistency turns many people off. I've talked to a couple, but I usually have them wait while I get out my King James Bible so when they bring something up that doesn't seem quite right I can look up what my Bible says about it. They have their own writings, and don't even want to call their places of worship churches, but they consider themselves Christian and plan on going to Heaven. For some it's all they have ever known, others choose that denomination when they are lost and want the feeling of family. I don't get so annoyed at them, thinking of that, despite not believing what they do. I was told they believe only 144,000 people will go to Heaven, and they are already pre-destines. My question is, if they really believe that then why keep recruiting more, and what will happen to them upon death? Most people just don't answer the door for them.
I can't see the full moon through the rain clouds. Sometimes I am silly and howl like a wolf when I see a full moon. My mother and I started that when I was young.
Towels are always good presents. At least I think so. I don't think we can ever have too many. There are so many uses, and it's nice to have new ones.
I've seen the LOR trilogy, but not that prequel. Since you don't recommend it, I don't think I'll bother.
I've not seen JW's buttonhole people in a public place like that ... when they've come by our home, I won't let them in ... though my husband likes to counter them ... & reverse proselytize!
it rained here the whole day ~ supposed to have more tomorrow ~ getting a tad bit soggy ~
It strikes me that "The Hobbit" series is too drawn out. I finished reading "The Hobbit" in three days, "LOR" trilogy in a month.
So sorry that Mary keeps getting the salvation spiel. WalMart should focus on controlling that, instead of your innocent photos.
we have people come house to house trying to get us to change our religion and it ain't going to happen but I try to respect everyone and their dedication to their drive.
$5.99 is a lot but that would be bad if it was per person. LOL
