Happy 4th of July to all of you! I hope you will all have a nice day. No plans here but I will be having a nap at some point, as it was another sleepless night after 3:00 AM. I finally just got up!
I had my appointment with the sleep study people yesterday and that went okay - then came home and my cleaning couple stopped with some things they picked up at Walmart for me - LED bulbs for the bathroom among a couple of other things as well. We visited for awhile and then I went back to reading the paper and got a phone call, and by that time, it was 5:00, so did my step machine while watching the news. Sometimes I don't know how the time flies so quickly and I get nothing done! I can finish reading the paper today...
Nothing happening here yet except I should get up and throw a load in the washer!
Have a good day!

Happy 4th everyone!
We are having a yucky day. Meaning a sweat rolling day. I did a little bit in the kitchen and water was flowing everywhere. Now I know why I don't like doing anything. LOL.
Been reading and I wanted to mention to CJ that I saw where someone put a slinky on their birdfeeder pole. This was for squirrels and I'm not sure it would work for chipmunks, but it was so funny watching the squirrels jumping on the slinky and going back to the ground. I could just see the squirrels scratching their heads.
We are going to have sloppy joes, macaroni salad, lemon mousse, and blueberry lemonade today whenever. I still need to make the mousse (which I'm going to cheat at) and the blueberry lemonade. I hope they taste good. Sounded good so the only way I'll know is make it. But not having a/c and stove being used it was pretty bad in there and that was between 7 and 8 this morning. One more stove use for the blueberry syrup and I'm out of the kitchen.
The porch felt good this morning. Might head back out there after getting those two things made.
DGS, DGDIL, a DGGS are coming today. Oh, I can't forget Louie the labradoodle. Can't wait to see them. DD is going to bring DGGS out tomorrow afternoon. I'll just work till noon and come home. DH really can't wait to see him.
Oh dear, should I tell you the story about work and being older. LOL. It was/is funny but me telling the story it might not come out as funny. Anyway, some of the programs the office runs provides money for homeless people who have found places to live. The one program provides $2,000 (so I was told) for us to get them supplies. Well, the front room where I work was/is filling up with stuff. The FedEx guy that delivers is really cute. I mentioned this to the other girls, and I've heard them talking how I think he is cute. SOOOO, he brings a big order the other day and I can hear the girls saying the FedEx truck was here. I can see them congregating around the corner and in the office beside me. Me being a senior older lady with apparently no filter said to "Matt" that I thought he was cute and now the other girls wanted to see him. And then said come on out girls. He was laughing and I know I surprised the girls. But we had a good time with him and after he left my boss just couldn't believe I had done that. Many many years ago I would never have thought of doing it but thought what the heck. At least I brightened the mood of everyone and they were still talking about it yesterday. Had to be there!!! And yes, they all thought he was cute too.
That's my life for today. Past is past and the future is out there to make it count.

Hot and muggy with no breeze this morning. When Mandy and I got back from the pet area I watered all the cacti, and rinsed off the car and golf cart. That is all for the outside today other than take Mandy out to go potty. The advisory is for no one to go anywhere for the next couple days. I'll not be going anywhere for better than a week. Extremely high and dangerous temps are set for the next 10 days. Travel is not advised.Haven't heard that since winters in MN. hehehe
No plans for today other than iron the few items from yesterday. Although I may let Annie loose on the floors. Annie does a better job than the dust mop. |

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! GOD BLESS THE USA!!! No plans for today. I'll try to get most of my cleaning done and maybe a load of laundry. The kids will be coming Saturday and we'll grill out that day. The town fireworks will be tomorrow night and as usual, I won't be going. LOL
GREENBACK You're so right, time goes so fast and I get nothing or little done. I don't think I move any slower, do I? ? I'm laughing out loud with that comment. I hope you sleep better tonight.
ICOOK Maybe you and Tinker can just talk and enjoy each other. Is he afraid of the fireworks? I won't have any company today either, not even my Kayli.
JUSTME Well I can believe you did that! After all, you pulled the fire alarm at the motel the GN was staying at. LOL Enjoy the 4th with your family.
MAMMA You're hot temps are definitely hot!! and we have some hot ones too but they don't last as long as the ones you have in AZ. Stay safe.

Goodmorning grannies a very foggy and humid morning with warm temps sending the temp up also. Today we are o have some rain and some sunshine. Weather person said not to plan anything until after 6! Guess those ribs will be cooking inside! DD#2 and dh will beere later today. Both their kids and have things to do soo dd and dh will be seeing here without kids. Since I turned 90 I think I'm getting a little more attention! Those ribs will taste good with anyone to share them with. Holidays are all about families, or I think they should be.
Justme what a good time you must have had when you turned things around and caught the young girls by surprise! I'm sure you had the last laugh.
Guess I had better get up from here and get dressed for the day. I'm sitting here in my jammies!
Have a bang up fourth!!

Happy 4th of July, and, yes, God bless the USA! So thankful for the freedoms we enjoy!
We got a lot more rain last night. Haven't had this much rain in a year sometimes. But, as the farmers say, one should never fuss about rain in July. The rain has stopped for now, but it is very humid. I did my exercise on the recumbent bike this morning since I couldn't walk outside. Never took my walk yesterday either as it was raining at the usual time I take it and we had Emmett and Amelia yesterday so my routine was all out of sorts. And, I didn't feel the best. That second shingles shot on Monday sure kicked my butt the last couple of days. Pretty sure I had a low-grade fever and I just felt achy all over. I was in my nightgown by 7:30 last night and in bed by 9:30. I am trying to make myself take it easy today. I baked pistachio blondies and made a no-bake peanut butter pie to take to DD#2's for our 4th of July celebration tonight. Some places have postponed fireworks until Saturday, but I am sure her neighborhood will proceed with fireworks if it is not raining. Since riding my bike, DH and I have been going through some of his mom's pictures since it is too wet for him to do anything outside.
Justme, I love your style! Good on you for teaching those young women how to have fun!
Jane, I am getting close to professional status for "putzing". I putter her and putz there and, before I know it, I haven't gotten anything major accomplished and the day is gone!
Wishing all a safe and happy Independence Day!

Hi ladies,
Happy fourth. And yes, may God bless the.
USA. Such a beautiful country we have
I am having a bad arthritis day. I slept till 12.
The kids came last night and shot some
fireworks. They scare the baby so they
had to take Him in
He is walking everywhere and investigating
He likes going in the back rooms. Which I
dont mind, but he hast to be watched
Don't want him to get hurt.
He is 15 months old already. Wow, time
does fly.
I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, maybe that
Will lift my spirits a little.
I was invited to a big cookout, but declined.
Just didn't feel like dealing with a lot of people
and animals,
You take care and have a wonderful day.
I'll be back later.

I don't say this very often, but it's been a long day for me today, and I'm sure it's just because it started so early, not that it's a holiday. I tried to nap this morning, but that didn't work either, but I did catch about 45 min. to an hour later this afternoon. I sat out on the porch for about an hour around noon and then later went to Hardee's and picked up a burger. Haven't had one of those for some time and I won't be rushing right back either. Sure didn't have much flavor and was a big mess to eat. I did get a load of laundry washed and dried. Tonight I plan to watch the Capital 4th program on public TV. Who knows, that could change too, but that's the plan at the moment.
Hope you are all having a good day, whether you are sharing it with those you love or are spending a quite day alone also.

Kinda late...but....Happy 4th of July.
Had my mom over. I grilled hamburgers, potato salad (cheated and bought a carton at the grocery store and doctored it up), baked beans and coleslaw....oh and watermelon (it wasn't very sweet).
DD sent me some pics of the kids having fun making s'mores and doing sparklers. They were headed to a park where there would be fireworks. Said they are having a great time up north.
That's about it for me for today. Quite humid out there and very still. Might get some rain tonight or tomorrow.
Enjoy your evening..........
