This has been a catch-up week before fall comes and everything gets super busy. Pick-up, put away, throw away, organize, tidy – wonder what the heck this thing is for and why do I own it? That question especially applies to electronics, their cords, and accessories. I’m afraid to toss any thing in that category, because it might be the one and only thing that lets the gizmo work. So I end up with a drawerful of unnamed, snaky odds and ends that a hoarder would envy. Ahh well – at least they are also organized and separated into their own right sized baggies. Just in case they are ever needed 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

Y’all can’t get rid of me that easily!! I keep checking on y’all. This must be driving you crazy, since you seem to be organized down to the minute and I’m sure you feel helpless when your computer sabotages you! I’m sure mine drives me crazy at times on purpose ~ or my phone. My phone now refuses to message photos that I take, or let me get them out, so have to take photos with my husband’s phone now. I’ll be back! (haha ~ sounds like “Arnold”)
Charlene says
Yes! It does drive me crazy when something messes with my schedule! Especially the fun stuff — like picking the features from all the possibilities. Thank goodness Bytes handles the tech stuff or I’d be swaying on the couch with a blanket over my head by now. And like your phone — what is it with these devices that they go rogue anyway!!!???? But we didn’t lose anything and that is good!

Thanks so much for the party, Charlene! It’s always so fun to visit and see what you and others are up to. These next few weeks are set aside for my “catch-up” and I’m anxious to get to it! I, too, have my drawer of cords and tech stuff. I’m always afraid to toss anything like that while my kids have no problem with it! Have a great week ahead!

I think the kids have no problem tossing stuff because they are used to “updates”. I still have my phone from more than 10 years ago so I’m not familiar with the new stuff and would probably throw away the wrong thing. LOL

It’s finally a cooler day here in PA, and I am loving it. I love Summer SOOOOO much, but I am actually ready for Fall this year. Have a wonderful week.

Charlene says
I think they secretly multiply in the drawer!

111 degrees – WOW! That’s a stay in the house day, for sure! Our outside air has a lot of smoke from wildfires, which doesn’t help on hot and humid days, either.
