Good sunny morning to you all!
Yesterday we got up to around 80o. I opened a window and the patio door for a nice breeze and to listen to all the birds chirping away, as well as to air the apartment out a little. Today it will not be quite so warm. Still, 76o is plenty warm and near record for today.
I've been relaxing more this last few days now that it is close to settlement. The cats got a new, albeit smaller, piece of cat furniture. Oscar has taken advantage of the top perch to sleep in the sun and check out what goes on outside. I wish the perch was a little bit longer. It is almost too small for him. Shan has not tried the perch; he has used the little "hovel at the base. He prefers to live dangerously (for me or him?), liking to nap just behind my chair or under the rocker.
As much as stuff as I have gotten rid of before the move, there are still more things I am finding that don't "fit" the apartment or, as it turns out, I don't need. Also, there are some things I want/need to get that make a better fit in the apartment. My current list includes a new 8" frying pan, a nightstand or the like that has a deepish drawer for odds and ends that lost their homes when I moved. a floor lamp or corner bookshelf with lamp, and a console table or buffet to fit behind the sofa.
Yesterday, I made myself a nice pot of chili using ground bison. Actually, I wanted to make barbeque, but it dawned on my that I never got the hamburger buns that I ordered last week. The grocery was out and did not substitute. So, chili is was. I have to add cumin and chili to my grocery list. I must have tossed the old cumin and I should have tossed the chili powder. I don't usually put a lot into my chili, but I added extra this time and still did not really taste it.
Also kitchen-wise, I discovered that I can indeed reach the top cabinet shelf with my little step stool. I can also manage to get my baskets up on top of the cabinets. Most of my small wicker "vases" are on top of the large cedar cabinet in the foyer. They will stay there as they look great interspersed among the fake greenery.

I have begun adding to my online library wish list. This morning I got introduced to Hanan al-Shaykh (Beirut Blues and Women of Sand and Myrrh), Bolu Babalola, (Love in Color, short stories), Aoko Matsuda, (Where the Wild Ladies Are, short stories), and Sara Nisha Adams (The Reading List) . Several weeks ago I added Jack Kerouac (Dr. Sax), Tan Twan Eng (The House of Doors) and Neal Gaiman (American Gods).

Good morning..
Grass crunched underfoot this morning ,temp is only 26° with a calling of high winds!
Work around home today, lots to do...some may get done.
Atta girl JANE!!! Keep up the good work!! I know how happy we were when Kyle's visits went from 4 -6 -12 months!!! The best is when you have the 5 years in and the Dr says I don't want to see you anymore.
Rick ,thank you for turing off the lights last niht..
Better get going.
Enjoy your day and stay safe

Hello Everyfriend! I've had a busy day....a dr. appt, launry, change the bed, walk the dog, clean up after the win, pull some weeds and I forget what all!
PHYLLIS, I don't do the freezer as often as I should and now that I have two empty shelves in there, I need to do the freezer in the kitchen and it's not little. I have a side-by-side out there so it has lots of freezer space. I'm going to start with the middle shelf. I made it into an extra big one and I don't like it that way so if I can take some stuff off that shelf and put it back in the other freezer, I can move the shelf to make two regular space ones. That's what I have in mind. I hope it works out.
I had a checkup with the dr who did the surgery on my jaw and there's NO cancer coming back! He lengthened my visits to 6 months now instead of 4 and that makes me happy. I really like this dr. If all my dr. could be like him, I'd be happy! I think he likes me, too. I think he's young enough to be my oldest Grandson's age and I'd sure take him on!
Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment with a new foot dr. The numbness in my feet is moving farther into my feet as the years pass. It hasn't bothered my walking yet but it does get numb and sometimes a bit sore. And I get a lot of cramps in my feet. I think the only thing that's saving my feet right now is all the walking that I do!
Your welcome for the recipe. Let me know how it turns out. If you don't have the big cupcake tins you could probably make it in a casserole. Just punch down bake the taters and then punch dips in the casserole. I've thought of trying that but I haven't tried it yet!
I'm off to hit the haystack pretty soon. Just a couple more odd jobs to do like set up the coffee pot! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! Don't forget to come by and share your day with us. We miss you when you stay away!

Jane, thank you. I know others were looking for your Jims Egg Thingies, aka JETS. Hope all went well at the Drs.
Not too bad of a day here, getting a bit windy now with a temp of 54°.
