Good Morning....
A very nice day today. Enjoyed my coffee on the swing. Now on to other things for the day...not sure what that will be yet. I do plan to go with DH to see his mom and then a stop at Walmart.
Yesterday DH's brother was at their moms place and he was trying to talk to her about the up coming move. She said she knew nothing about that, even though they have had talks with her about it. She doesn't remember anything anymore. So this move is going to be quite a surprise to her when it does happen. We are thinking within the next week or two.
I didn't see any chipmunks try to climb the pole to the bird feeder this morning. I did put more oil on it just in case...LOL
I think tomorrow is when the heat and humidity starts to return. Right now we are enjoying the low humidity and cooler temps.
Have a great day everyone.......... |

Good morning
Out and back on this warm morning. This morning a man is coming to take the piece of the vanity off and give me access to the toilet tank. I know I'll miss that little bit of counter but I have plans of a replacement that won't block anything. The toilet bowl isn't filling like it used to so I know there is something inside the bowl that needs attention. It is an odd toilet so not sure if anything can be done but I need to get in there and take a look. I wish Mark would have agreed to this and not have to end up with a really strange toilet. The "guts" are not like any other toilet I've ever seen. In fact if I remember correctly there are no guts to replace. Mark installed the toilet shortly after we moved in and wondered about the issues we would have later. Well I'm the one that may be stuck with them now. I can almost see a new toilet in the near future. 
Nothing planned for today other than clean up the construction dust and paint the area. I would like to make a couple more get well cards to have on hand.

Good morning, all. It is warming up to be a hot and humid day here after a beautiful Sunday and Monday of cool temps and little to no humidity. Because of the hot forecast, I got my work done early--my 3 "w's" (walking, watering and weeding) picked the first zucchini and green beans from the garden (by the way the count now is Mike 4-coons 0 and Mike 1-possum 0. Those little traps baited with marshmallows seem to be working very well! After breakfast, I had my shower and have now washed and snapped the green beans, added some new potatoes that Mike has dug up over the last couple of days and some chunks of ham and it is now starting to simmer on the stove. Don't know if we will be home for supper or not as tonight is Amelia's last ballgame and it is in St. Elizabeth, a good little drive from here. And, first, we need to go get Emmett at his house by 3:45 and get him to his strength and agility workout class by 4:15 today.
Yesterday, we had a meeting about our upcoming trip, saw DD#1, came back to town and had a quick lunch, picked up some meds and got our second shingles shot (ouch!). We came home for a short while and looked over the documents for our trip (I need to get a few more things!) and then we had been invited to our friends' house for an evening BBQ. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with them and didn't get home until shortly before midnight. That led to me sleeping in until nearly 7 this morning so I had to "hustle my bustle" as our beloved MJ used to say to get everything done that I wanted to do before it got too hot. Mike has mowed some and tried to bale some of the hay that DSIL couldn't get to, just to try out his recently repaired square baler and to get the cut hay off the field so it wouldn't kill out re-growth, and, of course, the baler still won't work. With the exorbitant amount we paid to get it fixed and this being the first time he has tried it since he got it home last week, I would not be working on it myself; I would be asking the repair shop to lick their wounds, but that is just me. He is outside under a big shade tree, one the phone with the repair shop, tinkering with it.
CJ, so sorry about the turmoil with your DMIL; bless her heart--and yours, Mark's and DBIL's. Hope she will like her cozy new place once she gets settled.
Good morning, IC Cook.
Mama, good for you being willing to try fixing the toilet yourself!
Time to do some straightening up around here. Wishing all a great day.

Nap time is over I'm regressing to my baby days I need that nap more every day! It's a beautiful day here 84* with blue ky and a few little wispy clouds the best part of the weather statement is very low humidity . I'm sure that will be changing is if the temps stay up.
This day was even better when the serviceman came to install the Stairmaster! I hadn't even thought of this last week and now I have one! Some days I feel stronger and other days not so strong just very tired and weak. There aren 15 steps to climb and it was getting diffficult.Now I can go up an down whenever I want to! My prayer is that I can take care of personal needs till the end.
I'm so thankful that I can have some of the things to make life a little easier for myself and others.
OK Debbie we saw the nice comments that Greenback made about a present  now we all want to see what it was?? Also what trip? Did I sleep thru the news or did I forget it already? I also don't do facebook if it wasn't here didn't hear about it. I think you are the same age as #1 so this would be a special birthday! Waiting for all the news
IC hope that tinker doesn't mind getting the shot. Ouch!
CH hope the move isn't a stressful time for DMIL. She might not even be aware that it's happening.CJ I used tohave a platform feeder that the chipmunks could climb up the pole the do a back flip to the outside edge of the feeder sit there and stuff their cheeks full then jump all the way down about 5 ft! Always fun to watch them.
Mamma one more thing we had to learn about or get someone to do for us
Carolyn maybe we should change your name to Roadrunner! Don't stop going till you have to there will be lots of days to sit at home

Well, not so good news on DMIL Walked into a dark apartment. DH went to wake her and she said she thought she broke her leg. Her leg from the knee down was purple and very sore to the touch. She is at the hospital now and the x-ray shows the ankle is broke in two places. They sedated her to try and get the bones back in place...other wise surgery will have to be done. We have no time frame as to when this happened, but we think possibly right before she was going to bed. She was so hungry when we got there. She doesn't eat her meals at normal times and aren't sure she even ate supper last night. We gave her a Belevida cookie and some water. Didn't want to move her till the EMS got there. I helped her get dressed and they took her to the hospital. Just heard from DH that she will need surgery, probably tomorrow. Guess they couldn't get it all lined up. Anyway...we've been at the hospital all afternoon, but he told me to come home and he and his brother would be there. I'm just waiting for him to tell me when to come back. I don't know how the assisted living place is going to work out now. I'm sure she will have to go to a rehab place for a while. I think the new place has rehab...so maybe she can go right there. We're hoping.
It's looking like rain...so I closed the windows enough that it won't rain in. It's still pleasant here, weather wise with temps and humidity, but that's going to change tomorrow.

I am at a loss for words. It's rare that I am short on words. hehehe Oscar did an amazing job for me. His attitude, helpfulness, thoroughness, knowledge, and clean up is second to none. I will highly recommend him for any home jobs. What a wonderful young man. He really takes pride in his work and it shows. I'm so thrilled that I now have someone to help me with repairs and such that I can not do, and I trust him completely. He even checked my toilet and handle in the tube, just because he knew I was concerned, I never asked him to. He told me that I will need to put primer on before I paint the area and to use a roller so the textures will match. I gave him a healthy tip above what he was asking for the work. For a 5 hour job, he really didn't charge enough for all his work. He took no breaks, just kept on working Yes, mamma is very happy and pleased. The painting will be done tomorrow after I get a roller and primer. One more home repair done.

CJ, I am so sorry to hear about your MIL - - I just don't think they should have to suffer through these issues, but guess it doesn't work that way. It's a good think that dH or dBIL go every day, or who knows how long it would have been before someone would have checked on her. I am so sorry for you all, and I guess time will tell where the next move will be now.
Just didn't get here before coffee this morning and then seem to have one distraction after another when I got home, until it was time for my nap too! See Grammy, we all need them more and more all the time!
I'm just going to wave at everyone today and wish you all a good evening. still raining here!
