Good Morning...
It started out sunny and by time I got out to the swing it was cloudy and the breeze was blowing all the rain off the trees right on me. We had a quick downpour last evening. It cooled the air, so I opened the windows. But this morning the humidity is back up and everything feels sticky. The temp right now is 66.
DMIL is in the new place...rehab section. We will go by there later to see how she is doing. It was a late transfer, after 8 last night, that they got her there. Who knows how long she will be there before she can actually move into her own room. She doesn't even know that this is where she will be living now.
DD and family will be heading home today. It was rainy yesterday and again today....so they decided to come back and rest up before going back to work on Monday.
Nothing else new here. Have a great day............

Good morning
CJ, have the breaks in your MIL leg been fixed? Did I miss that? I'm so sad that all has turned into such a mess for everyone. Prayers continue in all ways.
Do I really need to tell y'all that it's still hot and going to stay hot for quite awhile? I am so very very thankful for the new heat pump and that it is doing a good job of keeping me comfortable. I know I've said that before. And I keep praying for no power outages.
Elaine, the crab salad that I made I eat as a main course. The crab dip I eat on crackers. Lincoln and Maria made the crab salad and put it in a wrap. I guess you can do with it as you wish.
Last night I had intentions of organizing my stamps for cards and embossing folders but after my shower I got lazy. I fell asleep in my chair in the afternoon and I think I slept more than an hour so nothing got done either.
Even though I had a nice nap yesterday I had a great nights sleep. I only woke up once to go to the throne room and then I fell right back to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow again. I should be good for the day after getting a good 8 hours of sleep for a change.
Karen said she is getting too lonesome for me. LOL We are going out for lunch once next week and she said that is not enough. The following week she goes back home for a memorial for her husband. I told her I am only a phone call away.
Well one more cup of coffee, turn on the fan and then make the bed and finish putting together the mock crab salad by making the dressing and adding it to call it done.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Morning Ladies - - - It's 68 and sunny right now and the fresh air coming in the window feels so good! I need to hit the shower as soon as my coffee is finished and then see what the day will bring. I have a melon to cut up - this time I tried the Kandy one, so will see how it is. A little smaller than the Athena. I took another extra strength Tylenol before I went to bed and slept from 12:10 until 5:30. My legs seem to be little stronger than yesterday - the weather seems to make such a difference in how I feel for the day. Sure wish my shoulders would feel better - - enough of that, you all have enough of your own problems and aches and pains, you don't need to hear about mine.
Hoping to have a little visit from one of the kids friends today.
CJ, I am happy they got your DMIL moved and hopefully settled in last night. It is good they finally got her to the place she will be moving into and hopefully, happy or at least, content with the move. I am hoping you find things going well when you get there.

77 this morning. I got up earlier, had a leg cramp so went back to bed. Well it kind of feels good to be home  For now that is. Am on the screened front porch and there is a breeze. I need outside some, I am too pale. I got my hair cut yesterday. Feels better. I rubbed jojoba oil and then frankincense oil and it may be helping a little with the knee and The ankle pain. You need a carrier oil for Some of the oils and frankincense is one of them It is supposed to be very healing. My cousin sells oils so will need to buy some more. Hope everyone is doing good. CJay, praying all goes well with your DMIL I have some cooking to do later. Cauliflower. Cabbage and a whole bag almost Of potatoes. They are kind of second grade but don't want to waste them. And have to finish cutting up my watermelon. It is not the best one  I did get dresser drawers all organized. That made me feel good. You all take care. Mamma, glad you are staying cool. |

Good morning, its partly cloudy and sunny here. The temp is expected to be near 80* today. I need to get the family room cleaned and laundry going. Then DD/spouse, DGD/spouse will be here for supper. Grilled pork chops and ribs and sides to go with it.
CJ I'm glad your DMIL is in the place that will eventually be her home. I hope the adjustment will go well for her and your family.
MAMMA It sounds like you and Karen are a good match! We all need a friend to share with. I'm going to check your blog for the crab dip and the wrap sounds very good too.
GREENBACK Hooray for a descent night's sleep. Enjoy your company today.
ICOOK I also need to get some dusting done in the family room. Relax and be comfy in your night shirt.
CAROLYN It's amazing what a good haircut can do for our morale! Enjoy the day.

Goodmorning grannies, a bright sunshiny morning here in mid Ohio. A nice breeze with the temp at 77 and going to the 80s this afternoon. My cleaning girl isn't here today so I've just been putzing about doing a few things. Kathy and Cassandra wanted to go back to Ohio Villages a place they had gone on a school trip so today they are off on that trip. Cleaning can be done another day. I've just been putzing around not doing much. Getting dressed uses most of my day's supply of energy.
CJ I do hope things have worked out so MIL will be satisfied to be where she cab she can get the care she needs.
Mamma the crab dip sounds like a winner! I like any kind of seafood! eight hrs of sleep sounds great to me wish I could get that much sleep.
Greenback melons sound good We have got some good ones from Aldi's recently. Yummy. Aldi will be closing this wee for remodeling this week they will be closed for 6 weeks. DD stocked up on some of the things we usually get there. A real difference in what we can get there and what we will have to pay a Kroger!
IC the night shirt sounds like a good idea for hot days! Stay cool
Carolyn I hope the oils help you get thru this painful time
I think I will go sit in the sun for a little while

Jane, good to hear you got some sleep last night and your legs feel at least somewhat better. Yes, we all have aches and pains, but don't mind hearing of others. We just add you to a prayer list for relief then. Enjoy your company today.
Carolyn, I have had a head of cabbage in the fridge for months and yes it is still good. I would love to cook it up but the smell would linger all day long with no option of opening up a window. hehehe A hair cut does make a person feel good, I agree. I use to use Coconut oil as my carrier oil. Essential oils just don't work for me anymore. Best of luck to you. Frankincense is a good carrier oil too.
IC, if I didn't have to take Mandy out to go potty, I would stay in my nightshirt all day too. I couldn't do it all weekend, I couldn't go to church in my nightshirt. But as it is I take her out at two and then put on my nightshirt the rest of the day. Evening, sometimes I will leave it on, but most times I go back to my clothes.

Grammy, the grocery store here in the foothills is Fry's. Known in other parts as Krogers. I can't afford to shop there other than some sale items. Their prices are so terribly inflated it should be a crime. Enjoy your sunshine!! 
Elle, enjoy your family fun time.

We stopped in to see how DMIL is doing. They had her sitting in a chair which she liked after laying in bed for so long. She was in good spirits. The staff that we met were very nice. PT had already been in to evaluate her, which was good to hear. She did ask DBIL when she could go back to her apartment. Anyway...DH & I are going to her apartment and start packing things up and we'll get some clothes and other things she'll need at the rehab and take them to her tomorrow. We are very close to this place, only takes us 15 minutes or less to get there.
The sun came out briefly but is cloudy again.

Mamma...I like the shelf you got. I think it looks nice there and like you said will make it easier to get into the tank when needed.
DH & I got quite a bit packed up. Still lots to do but it is a start. DBIL will be there tomorrow to get things, too. I feel kinda funny packing up her things like this. Everything seems to just be put in a box/crate and who knows how easy it will be to find things once she is in her assisted living space. She won't need a lot, but will need some things.

Hello from a quiet house-just a snoring Yeti in here. #2 and GF are out on the deck. There were 22 here, I was expecting more, so I won't have to cook for a while. I'm a bit tired, so I'll stop back in the a.m.
