Another beautiful morning, sunny and 69º with no wind. Looks like no wild wind today. Oh my, that would be so nice.
Texas got hammered with storms again and more areas of storms today and tomorrow as well. Prayers for all. Be safe everyone in or around the areas.
Church and then what had better be a short meeting after. Lynda and I have plans to go to BK for lunch, I have coupons for a BOGO. We like those prices. It looks like I missed a few areas with the dust mop so I'll have floors to clean when I get home. Nothing else planned.
As soon as I'm finished with my coffee I'll slice some banana bread to take to church for morning coffee. I've been debating on putting butter on the slices or not. Could be rather messy if I do but I like a bit of butter.

Good Morning Ladies - - - It's a dark and dreary and rainy morning. I didn't go to church today, as I had restless legs and cramps much of the night and then about 4 we had a thunderstorm, and is still raining. We had one thunder boom that shook the house so much I thought there were going to be pieces flying off of it! Just an ugly day in store for us. I have to tell you about my trip to KS and my on line order yesterday - - I picked it up and when I carried it in, I wondered why it was so heavy - I didn't think I got that much, or at least, anything big and heavy. Well, I had one whole bag of banana's. Yes, there were 27 banana's in it. I ordered and paid for 4 of them. I don't know why I got so many. There were 4 big bunches plus a single. I don't know what they thought, if a bunch was 1??? But they could see by the price that came up, that was not the answer. My friend came down last night, so I gave her a big bunch and I called my neighbor and she is going to come get some in a bit. That is even more than what I would want to put in the freezer. I suppose I could have made monkey butter! My friend and I sat on the porch and had a glass of wine last night - it was just a mite cool, but still enjoyable, and the first we have gotten to do this in a long time. Mamma, I vote to leave the banana bread plain! You can put the butter on when it's just for you. enjoy your lunch today. Are you not going to the GS meeting?

Jane, I'm sorry to hear you had a rough night. But am super happy that the bad storms missed you. No grief share today, I have a meeting after church. I really don't want to go anymore but Karen likes to have me there. No lunch out either, Lynda just sent me a text that she is not feeling well. so I'll just come home and finish off the pasta salad. Wow, that is a lot of banana's to be sure. Good that you have people to share the extras. I'll leave the butter off of the banana bread, thanks.
Since Lynda isn't going to church with me, I'll go in a little earlier, maybe. hehehe I'll need to put gas in the car after church too. The gauge is close to half empty or half full, depending on how you want to look at it. I say half empty.

Good Afternoon....
It's starting to cloud up. Rain is expected sometime this evening or overnight. It was sunny when I had coffee on the swing.
We went to see my mom mid morning to check her car. She had car trouble on Friday and kept stalling on her. DH took it for a test drive and it didn't act up but the "check engine" light stayed on. So Tuesday morning, he will take it to a place in her town and talk to the guy there about it and put it on the computer checker to see what it says. Hoping it's nothing major.
Then came home, had some lunch and off to the grocery for some things. Tomorrow is the parade in town and DD/DSIL and kids are going to park at my house and walk down to it. I'll go along. When we get back we'll have a cook out of hamburgers/hotdogs, chips, baked beans, coleslaw and watermelon. I will have ice cream and cones if anyone wants one. I never know what kind of ice cream to get that I think the kids will like...so I got cookies and cream. Who knows if Teddy will eat it, but I think if it's in a cone, he will. He is such a picky eater.
Mamma...what are Bismark's? I've heard the term but never knew exactly what they were. I say "half empty" too.
Greenback...hope you are feeling better. And please do not send your rain this way. I don't want it raining on my parade...LOL Wow...that's a lot of bananas.
Time for a little swing time.....have a great afternoon/evening.

Icook...what are bourbon hot dogs? Sounds interesting. I don't put butter on my banana bread either.

Wow! AC on??? I turned the heat back on and am still cold. First I took my short sleeved shirt on and put on long sleeves, then later turned the heat on. I think I am going to make a pot of chili. It sounds really good to me. It is just an ugly day here, and I have no plans of going out the door!

LOL, yes, Jane, ac is on. It's 95º. Sorry you are so cold. I'll take the heat as long as there is on humidity.
CJ, some people call bismarks Jelly filled doughnuts. We have always called them Bismarks.
IC< is a bourbon hotdog like a bratt cooked in beer?
I'm not sure how much longer I'll help in the church kitchen. Marylee is a nice person but..... She makes more work out of things than necessary. And if I do things simpler with less work involved, but get the same result, I am doing everything wrong. It's not fun then. I do know that I'm done before fall anyway. I don't do crowds, as y'all know. When the snowbirds return I'm doing church only. I better remember to tell Maryleen that so she can look for other helpers. Lynda will be done then too. Lynda does a lot in her park that takes up a lot of her time. I'm beginning to see why no one else volunteered to work in the kitchen but Lynda and I.
Lunch is done, garbage ready to go out to the dumpster and then let Annie loose. I'll take Mandy out when I go to the dumpster, one trip two tasks. Simple with the same results. LOL

The sun is shining! It's been cloudy most of the day and around 5:30 it started to rain. It stopped a few minutes ago. I've been busy in the kitchen most of the afternoon. I have 6 people coming tomorrow. DSIL will grill and others will bring something. I made taco soup and pasta salad. I might do some fruit and veggies tomorrow a.m. The robins that were on my front deck light took off today. I am going to miss them. I'm hoping DSIL will take the nest down tomorrow if he has time.
MAMMA I always want butter (lots of butter!!) on my banana bread. So good!
GREENBACK I'm glad your area wasn't hit hard and that you're safe. Those thunder bumpers sure can shake things up. It sounds like you have plenty of banana's. LOL
CJ I think it's burgers and bratwurst here, no hot dogs but then we don't have little ones either. I hope your DM's car can be fixed without a lot of expense.
ICOOK I'm also thankful for my a/c. But it hasn't kicked in at all today as it's not very warm. In the low 70's.
I wish there would be something on TV that I enjoy. All the channels and very few things I enjoy or even think are descent. I'm missing Grammy!!!
