Good Morning Ladies - - - It's a nice cool morning with sunshine, but it will be warming up as the day goes on, as usual. It's coffee Tuesday and we will be going out today again. We have been doing that more often as it seems like one or another can't make it. Actually, it's the easiest place for me to get in and out of, so no complaints here. It seems like a long time since I have actually had it here, and there's still 2 ahead of me to host. Yesterday was mostly an uneventful day.
Laurie, I know you have enjoyed seeing #2 and girlfriend and hate to see them head out again. I guess we just get use to having them come and go, but the time with them is always sweet!
CJ, it was good to read that your dmiL had a better day! I know there will be more of both and lets just hope the good ones will outnumber the not so good ones!
IC, sympathy to Christina - - -

Good Morning...
It rained over night...7/10ths of an inch. I never heard it. This morning the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Well, I guess I spoke too soon yesterday. After DH left the facility, Rehab came and got her. When they brought her back in the wheelchair, they just left her sit in her room unattended and she tried to get back into bed and fell. Her leg is hurting her so bad right now. The temporary splint put on at the hospital is so tight it's cutting into her leg which has swollen again. Last night when we went, after supper, she kept trying to take it off. She almost got the whole ace bandage off. I had to keep pushing her hand away and trying to wrap it loosely. Finally the pain med kicked in and she fell asleep. DH is so exhausted. We've decided maybe it's best we don't go over after supper and let the staff deal with it. When we got there they had her sitting on a couch by the nurses station, watching TV. That way they can keep an eye on her. One day at a time.......... DH and his brother are there now having a meeting with the staff there to figure out what is going to be best.
Lauriet...your view is awesome. I would love to be sitting on your deck with my coffee.
Not sure what today will bring...I'll just be ready for anything. Have a great day.............

Only because it's cheaper to make a pot of coffee than to make one cup with K-cup coffee, do I make a pot of coffee. I only drink one cup in the morning anymore cuz it's just too hot. But I can't do iced coffee of iced tea first thing in the morning. And I abhor hot tea. Last night I figured it costs me around 23¢ to make a pot of coffee- $6.99 for my canister when it's on sale, (only time I buy) and I can get 30 to 31 days per canister. A k-cup is around 52¢ per cup. The math explains why I make a pot, some times I will add flavorings and make the left over coffee into a flavorful iced coffee for afternoon enjoyment.  So much for my math lesson. hehehe
CJ, oh no not more turmoil. I hope the staff can step up and think about the situation a little better.
This morning I was going to take the leaf blower out and clear off the porch but it's so windy and already 91º. All the dirt would blow back into my face and porch again. Looks like it will be weeks before I can clean the porch Thank God we are not up to the temps of Death Valley.
No plans for the day other than clean the bathroom.It took all day and night for my neck to feel better so I don't think I'll finish the cards today either.  |

Goodmorning grannies, it's a cloudy overcast day with the temp at 80 this morning heading up to about 85 this afternoon. I believe we are to get some fall out from Beryl just some rain and the possibility of some strong storms.
Greenback I have to agree with you about public places being easier to get in and out of! My big complaint is once I get there where do I sit?? A chair that is about 2 inches sure makes it easier to get up! In a private home it isn't much better! I'm sure you will enjoy the time with friends this morning.
CJ sorr y to hear that MIL is having so many problems but she seems to have two boys that are very involved in her care. I do hope that every thing works out and she gets good care. I do remember the nurses having my dm sit on a couch near their station.
IC sorry to hear that Christina is having more problems.Seems she just gets over one thing and something else comes along
Time for some lunch and I'm just getting here! I just move slower and slower. The stairmaster was a great thing sure makes life better

Good afternoon to all. It is raining here. Don't remember this much rain in July since the great flood of '93. Can't hardly get in the garden in between rains. Mike put an engine stand behind the trailer on which to put one of the boys cars he is working on and the stand sunk down so far in the ground it didn't hold the car up high enough!
We are playing catch up on some indoor things today; Mike has worked on sorting through some of his mom's pictures and set aside some things to take to his brother who lives near Joplin. I have two loaves of homemade bread ready to go into the oven, have ridden my recumbent bike, and spent quite a bit of time on the phone (so frustrating and such a waste of time!) with YouTubeTV trying to figure out why our TV in the basement won't play that app all of a sudden. Still no resolution. That is our oldest TV and even though it is a smart TV, I don't think it can support what we need it to do. We do have the TV that we used the last year in the apartment we rented, so I am thinking we will just switch that one out and see if that doesn't clear up our dilemma.
CJ, I am so very sorry that you are having such a time with your DMIL. My heart goes out to her and the entire family. I am sure you are a source of comfort to your DH and DBIL as they deal with her care.
Laurie, loved your morning view--both of the handsome young man and the scenic lake.
Jane, hope you enjoyed your outing. What did you have for breakfast?
Mama, we use K-cups, but I use the store brand and shop sales and we try to never pay more than 35-cents a cup for the coffee via the Keurig. Many of the store brands are just as good or better than the name brands. I usually stock up with Hy-Vee or Gerbes (Krogers) has the K-cups in a 12-count box for $3.99. I used to drink my coffee black, but now enjoyed a splash of flavored creamer. The current creamer flavor I'm enjoying is Creme Brulee. Also, Keurig works best for us because I need decaf and Mike drinks the "fully-leaded".
IC Cook, extending my sympathy to Christina and to her son. Going to be hot and very humid here after all this rain. Our family reunion is this weekend and it is supposed to be in the triple digits!
Grammy, is the Stairmaster, a stairway lift for you? The new gym I joined a few months ago has one that allows the older folks to come upstairs to the second floor for our chair yoga class.
Time to put the bread in the oven. We're having a hodgepodge supper tonight; fried potatoes to use up the potatoes that Mike dug up that have bad places on them, some ends and pieces of ham, some squash and zucchini and some corn on the cob. Maybe some cucumbers, too. And, a slice of homemade bread, maybe with DD#2's homemade strawberry rhubarb jam for dessert.
Love to all. Stay cool and dry!

This morning I worked on making a few cards, actually finishing some cards. I took breaks and rotated my head periodically, which helped some, this time. The bathroom got cleaned, watched a documentary, I had lunch and did dishes. Oh, and I chased the dust mop a little too. That is my day in a nutshell. Nothing too exciting.
Grammy, I'm happy that the stair master is working well for you.  Yes, some of the public chairs are just too low, making it hard to get up. 
IC, I save my left over coffee for a tasty iced coffee. My favorite is caramel mocha iced coffee. I make it myself. Mandy really doesn't seem to mind the heat, so I have to hurry her or she could have heat related issues.
CJ, I hope the afternoon was uneventful.
Sunny, slight breeze and 116º on my porch. Ugh.I hate winter and I can't afford to live in MN, or I might consider moving. LOL But then winter in Yuma comes along and the weather is so much better.

Mama, is MN more expensive than AZ? I know FL was more when we would go there.
