Good Morning...
A much cooler start to the day, but I'm not complaining. I love this kind of weather. The sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze.
The kids will be here today. Lots of outside time today.
Nothing else happening yet....Have a great day. I have coffee waiting for you.

Glad you all are safe from the storms. They sure can be scary. They are still cleaning up from the tornado we had in April. We had thunderstorms with hard rain last night. I went to the senior health fair yesterday. It was nice. I won a blood pressure monitor and a crystal bracelet. Lots of good food. I have to make my sweet and sour chicken today. Might rest after that.  Hope everyone is well. Coffee time. ☕️ |

Up and out the door after an extra half hour of sleep. Boy that felt good to get a bit more sleep for a change. The sheets are now in the washer and I'm enjoying my morning coffee with a cherry bismark. 
My dinning room chairs didn't come yesterday due to a partial address on the shipping label, my lot number was missing. I contacted the company and they corrected their error and the chairs should be here today. UPS, would have had the knowledge to look up the full address and I wouldn't have had to waste the day waiting. FedEx, doesn't have a clue. I cringe every time I see something is coming FedEx. Oh well, enough complaining, time to move on.....
Warm and windy today and plenty of cleaning to do inside today. I plan on making a chicken pasta salad, not sure how just yet, but I'll figure out how. I seldom follow a recipe, I just go by the seat of my pants. Which is why I can't share a lot of my "recipes", I don't have one. hehehe But I will have to cook up the chicken first and foremost. Yes, I actually have some chicken in the house.  |

Good Morning Ladies - - - Dark and gloomy again today - - Having light rain and it's chilly out there, just a damp 64. Nothing much planned here today, just see what happens. Probably not much. Last night, Daren posted the preschool graduation so I got to watch that, and then later, Jen posted some pictures they took afterwards. So happy they make it easy for me to still stay connected to these events when I can't be there - sure would have liked to have been there though!
CJ, hope you and the kids have fun outside today - wouldn't happen here unless it clears up! Thanks for the coffee!
Carolyn, lucky you, winning 2 prizes! Sounds like you had a good time there. Yes, rest is always good!
Mamma, Your salad will be good, no matter what you deceide to add to it. I usually do my own thing too, especially in soups and casseroles. Somehow, it almost always turns out tasty! That extra bit of sleep is always welcome!

Jane, how nice to get to at least watch the event on video. Technology can be great at times. Those special events mean so much when a person can't be there. You have a wonderful family to share so much with you.
Carolyn, good food and winning prizes makes the event even better. Congrats.
CJ, nice that your weather will permit lots of outdoor fun for the kiddos.
Sheets are in the dryer and chicken is about done in the airfryer oven. I'm thinking of putting my bigger one back on the porch for grilling this summer. The grill plate makes a great steak and burgers. I just have to cover it well so it doesn't get compacted with sand and dirt.
Grammy, I hope your router gets replaced sooooooon!!!!!!!

Good sunny morning, it's going to be in the mid 80's today and it's very pleasant right now. I swept out the garage and the back deck. Both needed it. The robins in my front deck are growing and I assume soon to leave the nest. DSIL will tear it down Monday if they're gone. The one in the neighbors hasn't hatched yet but appears it will be soon. The kids aren't coming tonight but I do have company coming this afternoon. I've made a strawberry poke cake. Aldi had strawberries for $1.88 and they're sweet and huge. So good!
CJ What games and entertainment do you have planned for Teddy and Penny? I know they love coming to your house, you're a fun grandma. Do they call you grandma? To some of mine, I'm nana, another one I'm granny, and another one I'm grandma. I answer to all of them. LOL
CAROLYN Congratulations on winning the BP monitor and bracelet. And good food too, how good can it get?
MAMMA It seems that extra time of sleep just helps start the day. And coffee of course. Good luck with the chicken recipe. You might want to share it??
GREENBACK Technology might be complicated for some of us but like you said, it's sure a nice way to be able to see and be a part of our family and friends activities. It's hard to think of Daren as going into kindergarten. I hope you're not hurting today.
It's about lunch time and I don't have a clue about what I want to eat. Won't someone tell me and also prepare it? LOL Wouldn't that be nice.

ICook, the same place they had the health fair
is having a luncheon tomorrow ,
It will be lunch for 10.00 and a Elvis
Impersonator,
I just may go.
I need to get back to doing things on my
own.
Today I have washed a lettuce and a cabbage,
made some coleslaw. Also cut up a
Delicious watermelon .
I bought it in South Carolina and on the sticker
It said it came from Fort Pierce, Florida
One of the best ones I've had in a long time
I put it in ziploc bags and will give one
to the kids.
In a little while, I am going to make the sweet-and-sour
chicken.
Already have everything ready to fix it,
cooking gives mr such joy. I only wish
my honey was here to eat with me.
He thought I was the best cook in the world.
He was not particular so about anything I fixed
he enjoyed.
You all have a wonderful evening
I'll be back laterr.

ICOOK I hope Tinkers blood work will be negative!! Poor baby. My air hasn't kicked in yet but it will as the temps are rising.
CAROLYN I bet you're a great cook. Were you a cook at Cracker Barrell or did you waitress?

Just wanted to let you know that I had a message from Just Me, and she has been hacked! I know she hadn't posted in a bit, but thought with her busy life, she just hadn't had the time to do so! She did want us to know that she would be back, not knowing when, but she would be back! It's so disappointing when those things happen.

Elle, I have no recipe to share, I don't use a recipe for pasta salads or most soups. And when I cooked the chicken all I do is add onion salt, garlic salt, and pepper. That is all. I'm a plain foods person, nothing fancy.
I just did a round round with FedEx and the company that was to have sent the chairs I ordered through Amazon. The idiots never put my Lot number on the address so it would not be delivered. UPS, would have checked their data base, but FedEx does not. Anyway after wasting an hour and some more searching I found the phone number for the furniture company. I was issued a refund and reordered, and double and triple checked that they got the address correct. So now it's a waiting game again. If FedEX changes the address they will not be ready for my wrath.  I'm still foaming at the mouth. Idiots!!!! I have no time for incompetence.
Windy and 94º so far. Wind is to increase throughout the day. I'm so glad I swept the porch yesterday. LOL
I think I'll sit and do nothing the rest of the day. I need a cool down time out. hehehe Mandy is sitting here waiting for some petting so until later........
