Good morning! It's a beautiful sunny one out there. We got home after 8:30 last night, it was time to get home! The art observation took longer than expected and we had a couple of stops and then off to the farm. I forgot to vacuum, but I did a bunch of stuff and got to visit. Both Ann and Al were glad to see each other, they visited while I did some other stuff that had to get done. I do think his TV bit the dust though, looking to see if anyone has a spare there otherwise the one from here will have to go up. After we got back I told her how glad he was to see her-we met in the early 80s and she said he's the closest she has to a parent now that she lost her dad. I told her I'm happy to share him.
Mama-have they suggested a bite guard for at night? I wear one as I clench a lot. I found a dentist near by who takes my insurance, got me in quickly and is reasonably priced. I'd gone to one of the big ones that advertised on TV, the Yeti liked it there, I did not. It felt like an assembly line and my face was so sore after-hurt worse than having braces in HS/College. This office is near our bank, called them, and the rest is history.
Today we have a funeral for the Yeti's cousin's husband, he had cancer and was 49. Also found out they are gathering after it is all done at a park, with a potluck meal, so he was cooking when I got home. I put a bunch of extra stuff together to take with just in case, plates, silverware, serving spoons, napkins, a couple of table cloths, etc. I am going to help the Yeti's aunt set up at a craft show, I'll go in about 15 minutes, probably need to change out of my PJs? If not, I'd be the life of the party-although it does seem to be the usual wear at Walmart these days.

Good morning.
Another dental day. I just couldn't sit any longer yesterday so will finish up what didn't get done yesterday. Back again next week for the caps. Today I'll be driving but Lynda is going along to distract me from driving on the curved bridge. She has a book that she just doesn't seem to have time to read so she is looking forward to some quiet reading time while I am in the dentist chair.
Enjoy your day.

Good Morning Ladies - - - No sunshine today, or at least at the moment! I seem to need that to get a kick start to the day. I did sleep better last night, so hopefully, today will be more fruitful than yesterday. CJ, I think I am doing well with the mask now, I just can't seem to shut my brain down some nights and relax enough to go to sleep. It's not like I am worried or thinking about anything important, just stupid stuff that mean nothing, and I do mean nothing. The other night, I still had a cooking odor lingering in the house from making BBQ ribs - smelt so good cooking, but sure didn't afterwards - that seemed to be a big distraction. Last night I slept until 3:15 and then again until 8:10. Lights went off shortly before midnight, so I think that was a good night, at least compared to what I have been having.
Yesterday, I went to the store that has the deli, and got 2 pieces of fish and some cole slaw for supper. They had a new salad in the deli that I thought I would try, but not knowing if I would like it, I asked for just a small scoop - It was Street Corn salad - It was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. It was kind of bland and had corn, cheese and some pasta in a dressing. They were having a 3 day sale and I got some good buys there - potatoes, 5 lbs. for .99, and a case of water for 1.99. Then got some strawberries, raspberries, grapes, cherries - the sale was focused on produce. I have to push myself to eat more fruit, so this helps. Had a cutie and 3 strawberries with my toast for breakfast.
My friend in the hospital from the stroke got to go out for a bit yesterday and get her hair done and go to her house and a store to get graduation cards. They are having another meeting on Tue. so maybe she will go home then. We messaged on Thur. for some time and it all made good sense and made me happy with her progress.
Jen's niece plays in the state championship soccer match later this morning - I hope they can pull it off and come out with a big victory!
Laurie, you are always so thoughtful about going above and beyond and how nice of you to think to pack up the necessary items many forget to bring. Glad that you and Ann had a nice day and I'm sure AL enjoyed your visit!
Mamma, hope all goes well for you. You may not feel much like driving home again after the work. It will be good to have it all done and over!
IC, nice to have a morning when you can sleep in!
Grammy, how did your eye Dr. appt. go?

It's a beautiful sunny start to the day but it's supposed to rain later today. The temp will be going up to near, or in the lower 80's. I've sprayed the weeds this a.m. They don't care about the weather, they're like a Timex watch, take a licking and keep on clicking-growing. LOL DD+spouse and I went out for supper last night them came back and played some games. Today will be laundry and cleaning.
LAURIE I'm sorry about your DH's cousin. There are so, so many around here who have cancer, sure wish there was a cure for it.
MAMMA I hope all goes well and fast for you at the dentist. I hope Lynda will enjoy the reading time.
ICOOK Poor Christina, she can't seem to win! I hope the repair won't be too costly for her. Take it easy today.
GREENBACK Aren't the nights when the brain won't shut down just the worst! Good luck to your DIL's niece. I hope they win big.
I have pretty much wasted this a.m. so it's time to get some serious stuff done.

Hek\llo grannies. I think the morning is gone! I'm alone for a little while since this is the day for dance recital then graduation party time. Kathy and Cassandra take dance classes that means two different times for dancing on stage then it's off to the party. The house sure is quiet when everyone id gone.
It's a beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies maybe some rain late today. The river rock was delivered,yeaterday, some will go by my patio and some around the swimming pool. I will be able to put pots of flowers on the rocks and not have to be concerned about weeding. Or at least that's what I hope for. I do hope the rock gets put down soon instead of one big pile. I can't even spread the rock! I just had a moment of great anxiety! I was sitting on the patio and couldn't get up from the chair to the walker! SEVEral tries and finally made it! I do dislike becoming dependent on others.
Greenback, I konow what you mean about going to sleep! I would love to have a good nights sleep!I need to move from this spot maybe I can get back here later

Good Afternoon...
It's a beautiful day but rain is coming later tonight and into tomorrow. I'll enjoy the nice weather while it's here.
It was Garden Club plant sale this morning. We got a few more hosta and a couple other things that looked interesting. Maybe they will get planted tomorrow depending on the weather.
I went along with DH to see his mom. She is always so happy to see us. We hear the same stories over and over again, sometimes with different details on what went on. But most of all she just likes to talk and we listen.
DH and I are going to get a pizza and go to the park to sit along the lake or river, depending where we go. Will be a nice evening for it.
I think some swing time is in order now. Have a great rest of your day............

CJ You have a nice plan for eating outside tonight. I was outside more than usual today and it really felt good. I relate to your MIL, my DD calls almost every day and there's not much in my life to tell her. Just the same things but you are so right, she just enjoys and needs to "see/hear" life, people in her home. You and your DH are so good in visiting and helping her.
ICOOK How nice to have another friend. It's even better if Tinker approves. LOL
I walked this afternoon, sat on the deck and read out of my book and got things ready for church tomorrow. I haven't cleaned the kitchen floor and I think it's going to wait another day or soooooooo. LOL

Good Saturday evening to all. It rained a lot yesterday and a bit this morning, but the sun is out now and a nice breeze is blowing. I am loving this weather and not having to run the AC. I am ashamed to say that I sat down for a "little bit" and it turned into two hours! We got home late from Trinity's dance recital last night and I still got up fairly early this morning so I guess I needed some more sleep. I am one who doesn't sleep well at night either. I never used to be a napper, but, here lately, I have become one whenever the opportunity presents itself!
I did my walk this morning, a couple of loads of laundry and made up some bread dough for two loaves of "oatmeal toasting bread." My nap happened while it was on its first rise. It is now in loaf pans on its second rise and I just finished making and cleaning up dishes from a batch of no-bake peanut butter cup bars. DD #1 called and wondered if Drew could stay with us, starting tomorrow night through Thursday of this coming week, in order to participate in a Nike basketball camp in Jefferson City. It is from 9-3 each day, so we will take him and go get him and he will spend the nights with us. These are the kind of things we weren't able to do when we were gone for 6-8 months out of the year so we, of course, said absolutely yes. Drew is the middle child and I think he needs some attention anyway--LOL. And, he doesn't eat the best, is kind of picky, so I am determined to make his favorites, but also coax him into trying a couple of new things. I will need to pack him a lunch each day and I thought the PB bars would be really good for that. The oatmeal bread will be good for hearty pieces of toast each morning or for making his lunch sandwiches. He loves basketball and I know he will be excited about what he can learn and do at the camp.
Trinity's dance recital was so very good last night. She has come so very far from the little 2-1/2 year old who wouldn't go out on stage to the point that she was featured in each of the three dances in which she participated last night and is planning on doing a solo dance next year. Her three costumes were so cute, too! Especially, the "Singing in the Rain" dance.
Mike took a little snooze, too, this afternoon, but is now outside manning the grill with seasoned chicken breasts and foil-wrapped corn on the cob and working on putting a new back porch light up for us. We had a light/ceiling fan combination out there, but the winds had snapped a couple of the blades and the dratted birds kept building a nest up there so we are putting one up that is fairly flush-mounted to the porch ceiling and will hopefully alleviate the problem of him having to knock down bird nests. He also put together the mini-bike that he purchased last week and that was delivered mid-week. Boys and their toys!
Mama, like Laurie, I was wondering about a bite guard? I sleep with one for exactly that reason.
Laurie, I consider you the life of the party whether you're wearing PJs or not!!
IC Cook, poor Christina has the worst luck and seems to have lots of troubles in her life. She also seems like such a hard worker!
CJ, I need to transplant some hostas and may do that tomorrow afternoon. Mine are going wild. We have been doing lots of yard work and have lined all our big trees with edging stones and black mulch and before we just tear out the hostas in the front of the house, I want to transplant some down around the trees since they provide lots of shade. Wish we lived closer, Mike and I would invite ourselves to your pizza picnic!
Jane, you sure did get some good buys on produce at the store! I am jealous of all the fruit prices, especially, and can you believe how expensive potatoes have gotten! We have a row planted in our garden and I am looking forward to what they will produce.
Elle, weeds are my nemesis! I swear that the ones I pull grow back two times as much overnight! I put a heavy blanket of Preen down, but it does not seem to have helped!
Oh no, Grammy, I am glad you were not stuck outside when you had trouble getting out of your chair! Maybe you should make sure you are inside whenever the family is gone. Your DGGD and my DGD both were "twinkling their toes" this weekend!
Time to get out the macaroni salad and cole slaw and get the corn on the cob buttered up. Mike says the chicken is about ready. Love to all and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

If not, I'd be the life of the party-although it does seem to be the usual wear at Walmart these days.
