Good morning from another cool and rainy Interior. This is normal August weather, a cool-down period between summer and Autumn, leading into winter.

The balcony construction people started on my side of the building yesterday, and they sure are noisy, ripping off the balcony fronts and applying new ones with all that loud and thumping machinery and lifts. They are on the second floor now and expect the fourth on Friday or the following Monday. I plan to be out that day, and I don't want to be hiding in the bedroom all day. I have no idea how Farrah will fare. She'll probably spend the day under the bed or behind the dresser!

Junee:    and happy belated birthday!      I hope that milestone birthday was a happy one filled with pleasure.

Jane, I'm so happy for you and Mickie, and it seems smaller, more frequent meals seem to be the way to go.

Amy, we have a Costco here that came in after Sam's Club left just prior to the pandemic. I haven't been in as membership seems steep for a single, and it's on the far end of town. I know many businesses use their products and programs. I spend about a quarter to one half of what I used to, still shopping out my freezer and pantry. I don't seem to meal prep or can as I used to.

Gloria, I have an entire notebook filled with zucchini recipes from times past. But then so does everyone else locally. You often see huge piles by mailboxes or edges of yards in the fall of vegetables and rhubarb with a free sign. We never used to have fruit trees here, but the University's Experimental Farm started grafting apple trees onto chokecherry trees and succeeded. Now they are starting to pop up in protected areas.

Jane, our biggest pest is carpenter ants in older wooden buildings. They get into the walls, nest, and eat their way out. We have small black ants outside but never see them inside.

Lloyd, you are lucky to have family close. All my relatives have moved to other states. I do have family in Missouri, Joplin primarily, but we don't keep in touch.

Mickie didn't eat as well today as she did yesterday but I have a plan for tomorrow and maybe she'll do better then.

My next door neighbor and my neighbor across the street are both over blessed with yellow summer squash and they are both taking care of my needs.  The next door neighbor puts 5 or 6 small ones every day on the fence between our houses and I get them when I go out.  The neighbor across the street comes over and either gives the to me in hand or puts them on my back porch step!  I now have enough bags to do 14 times in the A/F since I made sure the bag held just enough to fit the tray.  And I have 4 more in the fridge that I'm going to clean and cut up in wedges to freeze and fry or bake in casseroles.  I fear they are not finished passing them on to me but I know I'll enjoy them in the winter.

I was going to try canning them but when I looked it up on line, the first thing it said is "you cannot safely can summer squash or zucchini".  I read the entire article and decided not to try canning!

We had a warning of bad storms coming this afternoon but all I heard was some distant thunder and a very soaking rain for about a half hour.  I'll take it!  I didn't have to drag out the hose tonight!

PATRICIA, I'm sure Farah will be as far from the workers and as hidden as she can get.  Cats are good at that!  Dogs just bark!

I'm off to the haystack!  I hope it's loaded with zzzzzs because my eyes have already entered slam shut mode.  Thank goodness for touch typing! I'm really ready for the stack tonight!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy, cooler tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

A fast good night... all day my internet was out BUT it wasn't out, the update overnight may have had something to do to put it in "airplane mode".... when Andy called tonight he had me check a few things & found the problem. I had already gone downstairs to turn the modem off & on to see if that would give it a boot (didn't help).... Anyway, another blistering hot day in Kansas & not much else to talk about.

Sounds like everyone is doing okay so wishing the whole bunch of ya sweet dreams and a great day tomorrow!

well I fell asleep watching T V, when I woke up I went to bed but did not have any luck going to dream Land So I came in to see what is going on, but all I see is  Shirley had already put us to bed so hope to see you all tomorrow. Good night and sweet dreams.

Lloyd

Up & attem about 5:00 am to start the sprinklers.... my neighbor's yard is looking much better on the half my sprinklers can reach. At least this morning the wind is not so bad. Radar not showing any rain in KS, OK or MO... We are dry, folks!

Still no sign of Mama Callie. I do think she is gone for good. At the least she was 14-15 years old, was getting stiff enough to think maybe older. After watching the 3 pairs of either hawks or falcons circling the chickens yesterday & knowing Callie is much smaller than Tom or Tiger, I am afraid they could have gotten her without too much struggle. That is the chance we take feeding feral animals & not locking them up, but she did live life free and I know she loved this first real home she ever had. Any time I was outside she danced along by my feet & would talk to me, her little mouth moving with happy sounds. If she doesn't turn up today I will start cleaning up all the messes she has made around the house/garage, like 2 litter boxes in the garage! She came inside to eat but just couldn't get the hang of not "marking" her territory so had to watch her like a hawk. I will NOT allow another cat to adopt me!

Time for me to get that first load of laundry in, I try to do it when the least drain on power. It is 78 degrees & another hot day before chance of storms starting tomorrow night. Not much of a cool down but any is better than the 100s.

I'm going to look for the new Farmer's Almanac today, think someone told me we are to expect a colder, snowy winter.... (YEAH, Gloria!) That snow helps protect the winter wheat and my own shrubs! We didn't get enough the last few years to even start the snow blower.

Good morning..

The past two days of being on the road early....tuckered me out! We hit Costco and two buggies later 30 mins we were on our way out. Stopped at one store then headed north. We met up with the kids,had a wee visit then home we went. Noticed how the leaves are turning also......early winter??
Unloaded the van took what we pick up for the neighbour over to her then home to do two loads of laundry.

Today Kyle goes for his license ,then home to work.

Jane, we had a thunder storm last night. Babe was Rescued and did fine through it all Sometimes these dogs will not clean up on all their food...I put it down to heat or someone in the family has given them too many treats..not naming any names

Shirley..we have had so much rain in our area. again last night! Tis either feast or famine with the rain.

Gloria, I am so happy to see Yvette and your sons are keeping you supplied in groceries. We couldn't have gotten one more item in our two buggies...paper products took a large part of the space. We also picked up items for our neigbour too.

Patricia, we didn't think it would warrant getting a membership but through time we do benefit from it. I try to buy items on sale and stock up on paper products. I do like their haddock and came home with 3 boxes ,gave one to the neighbour for looking after our dogs for the day.


Need to get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.



 

Bad start to Mickie's day.  She got up and went out and took care of business, came in and refused to eat, barfed a little and I coaxed her to eat about 3 bites and now she sleeping again.  I HAVE to get some food into her and I'm just about at my wit's end!

Back to try again.  Also have to take Cooper for a walk!

Jane S...oh wish i could think of something but if rice and chicken wont do it, i honestly dont know what else can...of course it is keeping the food down that is the main importance...

Good morning everyone. Even with the AC running all night I did not get much sleep, felt too warm. Got the cover for the couch washed yesterday and it takes the bopth of us to get it on and it was time for Yvette to leave so did not get to it or I would have been on the couch all night. That will be the first thing we do today. Not feeling that great now so hope I feel up to it.

JANE  I remember when one sis ter canned quite a few jars of the summer/yellow squash and when she went to have some they were no good and she had to throw it all away. I am not big on squash so hope my son doesn't give me many more. Cooked the ones he gave me yesterday and did not really enjoy it. I do like the butternut and acorn squashes but that is about it. Regina sent me a picture she took just after a thunderstorm they had and the sky/clouds were very dark and there was a rainbow showing. They had almost half an inch of rain with that one. Every drop of rain they got is wonderful out in tha t dry country.

SHIRLEY  weatherman yesterday said it felt like 99 outside and the temperature was 87. Today and tomorrow it will be in the 90's but with the humidity will feel like up to 110 at  least with violent thunderstorms. Not unusual for August but I thoulght we had enough of them last month.

LLOYD  like you I did not get much sleep last night.

SHIRLEY  I am with you for the cold weather to get here along with the snow. I still like looking at it and no longer have to shovel or drive in it.

AMY  my daughter belonged to Costco when they lived in San Diego but the closest one to them now is in Phoenix and that is a 3 hour drive one way. Any item frozen would be all thawed by the time they got home.

JANE  I know how helpless you feel about getting Mickie to eat. Just like a baby, they cannot tell how they feel or what is wrong.

JACKIE  the way I feel today  I think I should have a plain rice diet today. I should have known better than to eat as much of the zucchinni yesterday but it did taste good.

Have a good day everyone and keep cool if possible.

Good morning from another rainy Interior; our weather is the same as yesterday and forecast to be the same until September. Nothing new here otherwise.

I'm afraid I am diametrically opposite of both of you, Shirley and Gloria. Bring on the sunshine and bring on that heat! I believe that most  Alaskans that live in the arctic would agree with me. We don't have the sticky dampness with the heat, and our winters are cold and dark and six months long!

Amy, a yearly membership here is $40.00, and I don't know how much I'd use it. I'm still paring away at the clutter. I donated four or five items last weekend and am looking at more. Unfortunately, in 2018 I donated all my lower-sized slacks, and now I need them again.

We lost another resident to Covid, and her heirs put multiple kitchen items and dry goods on donation. I picked up two steel racks I probably didn't need but still. A very negative woman glares at anyone taking anything, but I don't believe the deceased would want things to be thrown out. This woman hangs out and glares each time this happens until security asks her to leave. I believe it may be the high point of her day.

A good Wednesday HELLO.  Our sky is a bit clearer today, but that smoke can move n very quickly. 

GLORIA, I am, indeed, wearing my mask when we are out in the awful air. 

For those who asked about the eventual size of the grandpup. It is said to be a MINI Beredoodle, and he is touted to be not over 30 pounds and 16 inches.  From the size of his paws......I question this, but who knows?  He is going so fast..... we saw him last night again as we celebrated Luke's 13th Birthday.  I think the pup may have grown an inch in 3 days😂😂.

JANE, ants?  Who doesn't hate 'em?  The tiniest crumb on the floor brings them running.  They have to have the very best "smellers" in the entire world. Happy to read Mickie is feeling better🙏

PATRICIA, shame on the old bag that glares at anyone taking from the table of items.  Of course anyone would be happy to have their items used vs thrown away! 

I am hoping to accomplish SOMETHING today, but my state of mind tends to get in the way of really doing much😩

Have a great day❣️

Jenny

"A very negative woman glares at anyone taking anything, but I don't believe the deceased would want things to be thrown out."  I bet when no one is looking she grabs all the good stuff. Let her glare. Everyone knows her and has their opinion.

I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger!! Did some running around for Kyle this morning and then home to wash dog bedding and hang out. Over to the neighbour on the back line to pick a heaping 6 qt basket of cucumbers and 6-7  big zucchinis. Received a phone call that the washing machine is in!!!   They will deliver it tomorrow afternoon....now to find out how to use it, it even has bluetooth!  Picked more beans here and will can them tomorrow..when there is time.

Jane, how was Mickies blood work. Can you give her a bit of Pepto or a tiny piece of Gravol?

Patricia, I would rather see someone use items than put them in the garbage/landfills.

Jenny, he is so cute and mini??? I bet he fills those paws!!

Gloria, we take a cooler with ice packs with us. This past year we have only been maybe twice due to covid..we go early to avoid the crowds. I thought of you when I picked up a big container of blueberries..Glorias blueberry pie!!

Going to go rest a bit..

Shame on me, I bought a box of ice cream "drumstix" at Sam's yesterday & ate 4 of them today!!! Okay, it has been a long day.     Not much to show for my day, washed only 1 load of clothes & did check how well the sprinklers did on my yard & the neighbor's. Andy told me to put a long screw driver into the ground to see how far down was wet/damp. Did a good job, but the neighbor said last night the kid he had mow, ran over the new sprinkler head that the ground around was so soggy.... and tipped the angle of the head. Think he is right so will have Andy adjust next time he is here, not sure when that will be.

Patricia, I honestly think that all my life I would have loved Alaska's temps & even the dark winters. I really do hate hot weather, to me it is a prison. Age I am now I don't tolerate TOO hot or TOO cold, just a grouchy old lady!

Amy, good luck with the washer, I'm still not used to mine. Have the manual laying on top of the 50 year old dryer & still have to double check because it senses how big the load & so many choices but some don't sling the water out as good as others so takes much longer than other cycles, and we have hard water so no matter how much softner goes in, water left in clothes still drys hard! I don't like changes & have griped about the 2021 car, too, when I thought it was like the 2013. I'm afraid to buy anything with all the changes.

Jenny, it is a darling pup but I always wonder if the mother is the tiny one how difficult to carry half a dozen little elephants!  I have not decided what kind I want, my sons think I should get a rescue a couple years old but they have never had a baby (our German Shepherd was 4 weeks old when we brought her home & she really did think she was one of the kids. By the time she was 2 years old she thought they were HER babies & I was her equal (Cas was our boss).

Both boys have had several rescues each & paid the owners as much for them as they would a pup, both felt like they didn't have time to train them, but I do. Are the kids around to help with the pup? My gr-daughter drops hers off at "doggy day care" a lot of the time, no kids yet so she can afford it.  

I think we had your worst air in the world today.... it was hard to breathe any time I went out & still is tonight. Radar is showing a line of showers but can't tell what's going on, animation just goes up & down. The river is down right now, not low but compared with a week or so ago, down enough to walk out to the water on the sand that used to be under water a few years ago.

Gloria, every time I stop to think about your kids building out in that "hot spot" it amazes me that they have adjusted to those temps. Southern CA was hot so maybe the dry air makes up for the heat?  Have the boys married yet? 

Jane, I know how Mickie's problem concerns you, we do worry about them like human babies but so hard to diagnose & help. All the canning & work helps take your mind off BUT I'm sure your body is screaming for a few days of down time. Hugs & hope tomorrow is a better day for you both.

Jackie, so good to see you enjoying the new place. Sounds like everyone has a more caring attitude than where you lived before.

Rick, I think you see through that old lady's attitude. Some people think everyone is so dumb they don't catch on to what they do.... usually that's why they don't have any friends!

And here we are to the end of another day so guess Lloyd & I will turn off lights & say "Good Night, Every Friend".  Sweet dreams and God Bless.

HEY!! Why is it so dark in here!  Did you forget to leave the night light?  Wait a minute!  There it is!  Now I can see my way around!  Just wanted to say that Mickie and I had a good day today and we're looking forward to the same tomorrow!  We got some pills from the vet for the upset tummy and she kept the first one down.  HOORAY!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a good day tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

P.S.  The heat got up to 94 today and the the humidity was at 91%!  Not a day to be outside!  Thank goodness for A/C!

Shirley you beat me 20 Min. so good night and sweet dreams, Hope to see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

Good Morning everyone.  Shirley you put us to bed and I am waking you up. But I will likely take a nap soon. the good lord Has Gave us thunder storms all night and still is. we do not have A rain gauge up here we need to go buy a new one, never took the one down from the farmstead. have a good day.

Lloyd

Good morning...

Not a bad day in the making no storms in sight!
 Need to get peppers and onions for two batches of pickles plus pick up more wood . Kyle is making a cupboard for the sunroom for empty jars, BIG pots etc.

Janie ,so happy to read you are winning the battle. Hope today is a good day also!!

Shirley, I wanted a machine tat I could get water in and not just 6 inches.......can't wash with so little water. Have to put up with the door lock I guess.  Whatever happened to plain and simple???

Need to scoot....store opens at 7 for us old folks.

Good morning to all.......I got up early to turn the sprinklers on but as I came thru the house I heard rain start hitting the roof. Checking radar is almost funny, the blob of red & yellow is going north, south & east. Don't think we had ANY rain all night so will help the yard & turn on those sprinklers.

Jane, wish I'd have stayed up long enough for your good news last night. Glad the pills helped.

Amy, was wondering if Kyle got his driver's license okay. My last renewal was granted only because the lady slipped me by, I had trouble reading the eye chart. Scared me enough to get those cataracts removed, I didn't know they were so bad.

Instead of going outside like he wanted, when Tom heard the rain as I opened the door, he backed up & wanted to go hide in my bedroom. I don't give him the run of the house since he picked up Callie's habit of "marking", but he is a good boy in the bedroom.

Lloyd, I had to get a new rain gauge again this spring. I thought I brought it in before the first freeze last fall but was leaking so got the same type, tall one that fits on the pool fence & I can see from the sliding door.

Cats fed so will heat & eat a Jimmy Dean's sausage, egg & cheese croissant. I keep those on hand when too lazy to fix my own egg & hash browns. I still have at least one slice of toast with grape jam.  Back to bed for another hour or so, I don't have a schedule these days.

Edit: Have you noticed how much later Mother Nature is turning on the lights?  I remember years ago my mother used to say, "the older you get the faster time goes"..... This year of Covid has taken away all the routine in my life, like in a daze.

Good Morning on this "Friday the 13th"  Forever more I'll look on this as a "good" day.  We slept in until 6:30 and I made Mickie her "new" breakfast.  It's still down and we're looking forward to a good day! 

Shirley, those Jimmy Dean breakfasts aren't so bad when you're in a hurry.  I keep a couple on hand, too!

Good Morning, LLOYD!  You're almost always first up around here.  That must be the farmer in your soul!

I hope Everyfriend has a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!  We got up to heavy fog around here.  It' looks more like October than August!

Janie! Hope one good day leads to another!        

Good morning every one, slept good and woke late. Glad Yvette will not be here till noon today.

PATRICIA  in the laundry room there are 2 long tables, one for folding clothes and the other for free take. Most always someone in the laundry room but nobody cares who takes what as long as they are living here.

JENNY  a spray bottle with vinegar sprayed aroung t he sink and counters keeps ants away and it is not toxic either. My daughter discovered that in San Diego where they were pestered with those little ants.

AMY  more canning in your future. It takes time but so good when it is freezing and snowing out. My daughter intends  to make a second ba tch of relish today. I intended  to make that pie yesterday but did not feel up to it. One thing Yvette is not good a t is any kind of baking.

SHIRLEY  I can tolerate the cold better than the heat. I know I would not understand driving a new car with all the computer things and geegaws. My last car was an 87 and lasted 20 years, just about the time I was ready to quit driving. Regina's younges son has been married for 10 years but the oldest one is ba tchelor. My Arizona family go  ourtside early and late in  the day never in mid day when i t is t oo hot . Of course my SIL loves  the heat and don't think he could take one of our normal winters.

JANE  your temperature sound like mine yesterday along with the humidity weatherman said it felt like 110 outside. Feel like I am getting to be a hermit.

AMY  stores here are no longer open an hour early for us senior citizens. Since I have not been into a market in 3 years it did not bother me.

JANE  to show you how out of normal things I am I did not realize today was a Friday the 13 th. A lucky day in my family. A brother, sister in law and a brother in law born a those days. Cold not have asked for better people either.  I hope Mickie has turned the corner now on the way to good health again.

Time to get a move on and have breakfast-don't feel like eating in this heat-something cold, no hot oatmeal.
Have a good day and stay cool and inside out of the H H H weather Hazy Hot and Humid.

Good morning and another rainy day in the Interior, standard August weather here. I understand that the S.E., part of the rainforest trifecta of Washington and Oregon, has a record amount of rain. Since that is their normal, Ketchikan holds the record for rain in the US; it must be literally drowning.

I received bad news last night via a notice clipped to all doors. They are closing the parallel street on this side for two weeks, which is for all the loud machinery and workers needed to repair all the balconies. I'm sure both Farrah and I will be happy campers when they finally finish!

The donations table is in the same administrative area as the offices, mail, maintenance, and security. It's a good idea as we also have our share of hoarders, kleptomaniacs, and those who bring the family to shop until it's noticed and security gets involved. The woman who glares is a self-proclaimed religious and sees everyone else through a very narrow lens.

Jane, I'm so happy that between you and your vet, that Mickie is doing better.

Amy, busy as always, I used to be that way, and now I find I lost both my balance and energy somewhere; I don't know where but it's gone.

Shirley, you wouldn't like an arctic winter. It's dry and hard on both people and machinery. You have to plug your car in to keep the engine pan warm, and your tires can freeze in cold weather. Your energy bills and electricity skyrocket, and the ice fog can enclose and disorientate you.

We're heading for the haystack pretty quick.  We had another "no-barf day" today and Mickie seems to be feeling better.  She took two short walks with me and behaved more or less like the little old lady she is!

We had three thunder storms during the day and one before we got up this morning.  In between it was a nice sunshiny summer day. 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a good tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

I'm ready to hit the sack as well. Hugs to all and God Bless. Love ya....

Good morning

Starting out with a temp of 55°.

The new fangled washing mashing sits now in the basement..delivery men were really helpful at setting it in place. Now to figure out all those bells and whistles. One of the young men said some machines will even tell you when you need to go buy more pods.....REALLY!!

Canned 21 pints of Mrs B's pickle and have another batch to do today. Then will can Janies cole slaw.

Jane ,so happy that all is going well with Mickie. Our weather is behaving  so far, there were storms to the south of us  but we were fine.

Patricia, maybe Farrah will get used to the noise?? Hope the two weeks go by fast for the both of you.

Gloria, I just mentioned to Kyle I am going to pick up more jars today. Still haven't pickled his beets and I want to can more potatoes. This year I have been canning hamburg, eye of round and chicken..some for us and some for the dogs.

Better get a hitch in my git along..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

I'm here but my brain is still sleeping so will talk later. Wanted to turn on those sprinklers before the wind starts so I switched sides to get the one that also waters the neighbor to come on first. I will have to go back downstairs in an hour to switch back but that won't kill me.

You girls & your canning.... I didn't know you could can potatoes or coleslaw. My mother never canned meat, either, but Cas' mother gave us a jar of meat she canned one time. Sadly, I never opened it and eventually (years) later, threw it away. Cas didn't act like he wanted to try it and I wasn't sure what it was  ... She was a wonderful cook but a couple times ate stuff & went go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped!

Patricia, don't envy you that noise but soon they will start digging the hole for the pool next door & already have had big equipment getting ready for that. Cut down 2 huge trees & had to move a sewer line & something else, (under ground lines) a lot more than they counted on. All those people did upset the cats since they run free except where people are around! I think you are probably right, I might not have enjoyed the winter fog & all.

Still no sign of Callie. I talked to a neighbor around the corner that walks a lot but she has not seen any sign of her (alive or dead). I think those falcons may have been migrating & found a fast meal, only saw them those 2 days & not since. I feel bad she is gone, she had choices and I wasn't going to take that from her.

No wind yet, Tiger didn't want to come in & eat. It's fur ball season & she eats when she is ready. Needs to eat the dry food, doesn't realize the bag says, "helps with fur balls".

Think I'll go eat a Jimmy Dean, couple pieces of toast with grape jam along with a cup of coffee & go back to bed. When I get up I will turn the other side of yard sprinklers on & drain sand out of the filter so I can add water to the pool. I get my work out with those steps to the basement today!

I forgot, this is Sat & the Farmer's Market. It is cool enough to drive over to check it out. I have not been this year, parking is not good & I have a hard time walking very far without getting super winded. They might have some real home grown stuff by now. Too many of the vendors have the same tomatoes like you get at the store, look pretty but NO taste. I have some little new one hanging on right now but not enough, still haven't had a BLT sandwich this year!

Gloria, guess we have kept up with each other longer than I realized, I remember when those boys were pretty young. I really loved apple season when you helped & showed photos of the different varieties. Nothing better than a tree ripe apple or peach. 

Expect some new messages when I try post this but better move along & not sit here any longer.

Good morning everyone, another HHH day here and I would like "Scotty, beam me up to Australia and their winter" At least we had no thunder storms yesterday but the forecast is for them to start this afternoon. Thought we had enough of them last month but  August is looking like it always is so far. already 78.

PATRICIA  I remember you talking about the ice fog back when you used to walk every where. Most likely back in SN. When one of my sisters who lived in Vermont died and a brother and Sis in law took 2 other sisters and me there for the funeral. It was in January. My brother had to plug in his car in at the motel we stayed at over night. Believe me was was very cold there, too.

JANE so glad it looks like Mickie is getting to be her ole self again. I know how worried you have been about her. The thunderstorm we had Thursday  night lasted a long time. it would start sounding like it was moving on and would start all over again.

AMY  I told my daughter about you canning the hamburg and then sent her  the link to the site you posted. She has already canned some jars of it. If the ever get the batteries for the solar panels she will get a small freezer and will be able to freeze more. They ordered the batteries last year in August.  My SIL had been calling the company just about every week lately, maybe if he does that often enough they will send the next shipment of the batteies from China they will send them to him. A shame when we have no one in this country that can make them here.

SHIRLEY  I miss Mike's orchard a lot. I enjoyed working  the stand for him and seeing folks I knew in  this  town  that I hadn't seen in years. I enjoyed meeting those who stopped  to buy and not pick, explaining the different varieties. But mostly eating as many as I wanted freshly picked.

Think I better get a move on and get ready for Bill's weekly visit.
Have a good day and be safe.

Good Morning Everyone
from the hot and humid
rocky coast of Maine. 

Looking forward to the next few days
when this heat and humidity goes
away. 

Issues with air quality are still
happening from all those
forest fires out West.  yikes !!

I have got in the habit of not
eating food stored in the refrigerator
for more then a couple of
days.  Unless it is fruit or
the like where you can see
if it is rotting out. 

I do not want to suffer food
poisoning because I think that
every time I get sick
from something I ate just
chips away at my old body's 
resources..   

So I try to be careful about what
I put in it that might be
tainted. 

I hope that you all have a good
weekend.  I am hanging in there and
doing good. 

I just found out that my grocery
store (Hannaford's) is now in the
delivery business.    Hooray in case
my Kelly can't make it. 

I can't wait to see just how that works
out as delivery in the city is a
little more difficult for them.

Peace ... 

A good Saturday HELLO to EVERYFRIEND, from pretty blue sky Colorado.  Thank goodness the smoke is being sent up and back to the West for now‼️ Sorry for those folks, but thankful for a reprieve for us.

JANE, so good to read Mickie is doing so much better. 

Nice to read your post, SANDY.

PATRICIA, I certainly can relate to your post to Amy,  "Amy, busy as always, I used to be that way, and now I find I lost both my balance and energy somewhere; I don't know where but it's gone." My surgery will be two weeks from yesterday and that seems like eternity for me....I am so tired of dealing with this non useable and painful shoulder of mine.....it just wears me down😩😤

GLORIA, hope you and Bill had a nice visit.

SHIRLEY, I am sad to read that Callie is still missing and to think what may have happened to her😩😩 UGH, having to deal with the noise and mess from the pool being put in next door😩‼️

AMY, happy your new washer has arrived. I wish I could have my old GE top loader that I bought in 1969 in Germany back again.  I could do anything I desired with that machine....now the machine that I have won't let me do anything 😡

I just read on FaceBook that Judith Carr passed away the 11th of August.  I know some of you might remember her.  Not sure if she was active anymore or not?

Guess I had best at least TRY to accomplish something today 😤

Have a good one‼️

Jenny
