Just a short post before I head to the shower - - Today is meet the HS friends for lunch, which takes all day with the visiting and travel time! Didn't have a good night, so hope I hold up all day, but at least I don't drive today.
Yesterday around 3 the sirens sounded - it was just high winds, and all was fine at my house, but lots of trees down around the area again. It's a nice morning but more storms in the forecast for this afternoon, but think they will be south of us this time.
Enjoy the day.

Good Morning....
It started out sunny when I got up around 7, but soon turned dark and gray with a brief thunder shower. That was just enough for the humidity to rise when the sun came back out. Yuck!!!
Yesterday DH & I did a day trip over to Port Huron where we like to watch the ships come through from Lake Huron. The Blue Water bridge goes across the river from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Always an enjoyable day. We have lunch out, go to a beach up the road a ways and enjoy the sand and rock hunting. We left around 8:30 and got back around 7 last night. We stopped at Culvers for supper, which I should have known better, and had a coke (I never drink pop anymore except on occasion) and that caffeine kept me awake nearly all night. Plus it was the last day of school around here and the boy next door had a sleep over in his tent out back. They were noisy and walking between my house and his quite a bit talking in normal voices. I think it was around mid night his mom came out and had a few words with him...LOL That's boys.
Today I get a haircut. I was debating whether to cancel as it just doesn't feel like it's grown much, plus she cut it shorter than I wanted last time. I guess I'll go and just get a very slight trim and hopefully it will be about what I want next time I go.
I got a new watch a while ago. Kohl's had one on clearance that I liked but it needs a link taken out. DH tried but said he couldn't do it...so I'll head to the jeweler in town to have that done. Then I'll stop by ACE hardware to get some new bee guards for my hummingbird feeder. I left it out the other night and the raccoon decided that was the night he would come and take it down and all apart to get what he wanted.
Have a great day everyone......

Hello, I think I had some of Jane's weather yesterday. About 4:30 the wind continued to pick up and clouds, then rain, then hail about the size of a robin's egg for about 20 minutes. Then it blew over and the humming birds came out. I was at book club, but when I got home, it had only rained. I came through the woods hoping to see the bear, no luck, lots of mud, so I got the Jeep-use out of the Jeep. The washer is going and we are to go to a retirement party for my SIL, when the Yeti goes to the store I am going to run into TjMaxx for part of a gift for her. After we get back home it won't be long til Sage gets here with his parents, it'll be Smooch:o'clock! Best get some of my stuff done.
Oh yeah, afghan is done and there is a turtle laying eggs in the yard-she's driving the Kravitz Ladies nuts.

Goodmorning Grannies, it's a cloudy and cool morning but warming to the mid 80s this afternoon. Maybe I can sit outside for a little while. I'll remember to use the sunscreen this time
Laurie what a fun word picture you paint with your stories. I could see you chasing cows and hopping over the cow patties as you rounded them up. Enjoy the smooch time with Sage later today. MMM that sweet baby scent!
Debbie just want to say congratulation to Mike for getting the job he wanted.
I didn't make it here after my outing, yesterday. I was totally worn out. Bible study then a stop at Lowe's to check out the flowers. I did get a nice basket and a couple of other things to add some color to the river bock area. Looks good!DGD had lots of green things but not much to add color. I was totally exhausted after that little jaunt! I must be getting old the first thing I did was sit down and fall asleep for over an hour! Later I was considering asking for Room service" for my supper. I didn't think I could make it up those stairs one more time! Chef came down here bearing a plate with my supper all ready for me! I sure was happy to see him with the plate of food! He said everyone was busy doing something so he fed the kids the others will eat when ever they finish the work.
Greenback isn't it great to find such nice people in this crazy world! Glad those lights are working for you at no expense. enjoy the lunch with friends today
CJ I didn't think anyone had a watch since they all seem to have a cell phone with the time. Reminds me ot the time dh bought me a spidel watch to put on my timex watch! The band kept coming apart so I was going to take it to the jewelry store to have the band fixed. That was the morning it came off and landed in the toilet!! I got it out thankful there was only water in there and went on to the jewelry store. Did you ever see anyone sneer?? Well this one did as he asked what do you expect when you buy a Timex! I was so pleased to tell him the Timex was just fine it was the Spidel that was falling apart. He wasn't smiling or sneering then! Sounds like you and dh have a nice day ahead of you! Enjoy!
Hope this doesn't create a problem bu there is nowhere on this page to make a reply??? I can create a post so will do that

Good morning to all; well, it's morning here in central MO anyway. It is to get to 90 degrees again today so I had my walk before breakfast, flowers are watered, two loads of clothes on the line (one load already off the line and put away), three of four bathrooms are cleaned and I have weeded a bit in the garden. Mike has sprayed weeds in our gravel driveway, raked up some old hay he cut that was laying on the field (baler is in the shop, he doesn't know when it will be fixed which is driving him crazy because any available pastures around here are being cut or have already cut for hay), and now is mowing. He got his new "teeth" yesterday, a new partial plate to fill in the not-so-attractive gap of the missing front tooth that had to be cut out last month. With all the trouble he's been having, I am thinking we should have gone the implant route, but it is what it is right now.
Went to Trinity's softball game last night; this afternoon we have duty with #2's set of kiddos, getting them off the summer school bus, taking Emmett to agility class, getting the girls fed and ready to go to Amelia's game tonight. We will all be going as soon as Emmett's class is over and DD can make it home from work. Not sure when we will get supper or what it will be, but we will figure it out. Last night we didn't have supper until almost 9:00!
Still waiting on an answer from the insurance company on the exorbitant hospital bill from last year for Mike. And, I am waiting on a callback from IRS. DMIL's federal refund has never been received and they say they can't talk to Mike about it because they don't have proof that his mother is deceased?! I cited the form to them that was filed along with the refund application, but apparently yet another form is required before they can talk with him. And, we can't get a number to which to fax or mail that info until we talk to an agent again. Each time we call, we can either wait online or request a callback. Today's callback is scheduled for 122 minutes from when I called--glad I didn't decide to hold online! Hopefully, we will at least get a number/extension/some kind of direct contact to which to fax all they say they need--the new form, completed, DMIL's death certificate and a copy of the will. Apparently, from what little we have been able to understand, the original and subsequent claim for the refund were both sent to DMIL's address, rather than ours (as the form previously submitted instructed) and refund checks are not allowed to be forwarded to our mailing address as all her other mail has been since her passing. Hopefully we will get some progress made today; wish me luck. Always something and I always feel like fighting through these things with insurance and government are such a waste of time when I could/should be doing something else. But, I am also determined/stubborn enough to follow it through--kind of like a dog after a bone, I guess!
Jane, glad you had no storm damage/danger at your place. Enjoy your outing today.
CJ, what a wonderful you and Mark had together! I like Culvers and I always get their diet root beer; I love it and it has no caffeine--very rare that any fast food restaurant has a caffeine-free, diet offering!
Laurie, has your smooch time appointment made it to your place yet? I bet he is growing and changing every time you see him! I am a recent fan/convert of TJ Maxx. Didn't think I liked the store until a year or so ago and now I love shopping there!
Carolyn, thank you for the pound cake recipe!
Grammy, glad to see your reply posted! I'm like you, I didn't think nearly anyone wore watches any more. I haven't since I've had my smart phone. DD#1 has a smart watch, but I have resisted getting one of those. It was thoughtful of Chef to bring you a supper tray last night.
Wishing all a great rest of your day. Stay cool!

Debbie...so happy to hear Mike got the job. A part-time job will, most likely, be just what he wants. Still plenty of time to do things around the house/yard. I love Culvers too. And usually get the root beer since it's caffeine free...but for some reason I started getting the coke...who knows why. I love Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I found my mother of the bride dress at Marshall's. I wasn't there looking for one, but as I was leaving the store I walked by a rack with several long formal type dresses and saw this one right away. I tried it on, and then bought it knowing I could return it if need be. I modeled it for several people asking there opinion if it was good enough for the wedding and everyone loved it and said it was perfect. Needed a little alteration on the side where the slit came up to my upper thigh  . Didn't think that was quite appropriate LOL. Got it for $40. I was almost embarrassed to tell anyone where I got it and for how much. It worked though.
Icook...sorry you are without Christina again.
Grammy...that's exactly what my DH said..."no one wears a watch anymore". Well, I do. I feel lost without it. I know I could look at my phone, but it's quicker to glace at my wrist. The jeweler didn't charge me to take a link out. I like this guy...he is always down to earth and honest. Always ready to help you out with out a huge price tag. I always recommend him to people I know that need that type of service.
The humidity is crazy right now and DH isn't interested in turning the a/c on yet. It is suppose to be cooler tomorrow with less humidity...so if I can get through the night, I should be fine tomorrow.
Getting close to my haircut appt.

CJ, I like Marshalls, and I like Ross stores, too. They are a bit more "cluttered" than TJ Maxx and Marshalls, but I have found lots of things there, including Hoka tennis shoes for both Mike and me. Of course, their inventory changes daily and it's kind of the luck of the draw what they have on the day you are there, but I have a few categories within their stores that I check out at every chance--women's active clothes, women's and men's shoes, luggage/travel, and whatever sizes my grandkids are wearing at the time. I got wonderful luggage there for unbelievable prices. And, on Tuesdays, anyone our age gets 10% off. I always just say at checkout that I qualify for your discount and immediately 10% off is applied to my bill. I think they are hesitant to offend someone by mentioning it, so I always mention it when I am there on Tuesday and there are no questions asked. I guess I look like I qualify--LOL! Only thing about Ross stores is that there is no online option, you have to check out the store inventory personally. I had to do that when I was trying to find matching luggage pieces for the luggage that I got the DGDs for their birthdays. I shopped at the two close to me when we were in IL and the one in Jefferson City here near home. Found just what I needed to complete the sets for them, thankfully!

We got home Safe and sound from the dentist around noon. Dr Allen is so gentle, I’m glad I found Alberta Dental and him. I was done in two hours and have a temporary bridge for now. I couldn’t find anyone to go with me on Friday but Karen said she can go with me on Tuesday. So I’ll be waiting and go back on Tuesday morning. God bless Karen. Lynda and Karen surely are wonderful friends.
My upper mouth is just starting to get enough feeling in it and I can already feel the pain from the extraction.. Oh my goodness. I do have one hydrocodone left so I’m sure I’ll be taking that tonight. For now I’ll just take a Tylenol and pray it at least will take the edge off. No hard biting or anything sticky or the temp will come off. So until Tuesday I’ll be eating mush. I’ve got plenty to eat, ice cream, yogurt, Malt o Meal, oatmeal, and mashed potatoes, will have to do. I just thought of eggs. I have eggs.
Sadly I had to change my appointment to the pain specialist that was on Tuesday too. But she snuck me in on July 30 at 8:15. At least it’s before the heat of the day. Mandy will have to hustle in the morning since it takes longer to get to the doctor in Yuma than to get to Mexico. LOL I’ll need a nap that day.
Time for another ice pack, oh my I hurt. Yep, I’ld rather have 5 root canals than one extraction. All the work done was on the front upper teeth.
