Good morning, it's beautiful out. The Yeti is taking his nephew to his baseball game, I'm not going, plan to spend some time in my space upstairs, maybe get it usable. My phone says it is to be 82* with wind gusts, perfect drying weather except that my clothesline broke the other day. It's one of those umbrella ones, second time that's happened, even when it isn't "full." I'd love to have the regular one with the T poles, we'll see what happens. So, the dishwasher is almost ready to run and the dryer is going. It's so quiet in here, I gathered stuff that'd been left on the deck and will run downstairs to do the same thing later. After the meeting and farm, I stopped at my brother's for a bit and then in town went to the thrift store that is only open on Tuesdays. I got some small Mallmack (sp???) plates, a serving plate and a pair of jeans, a whopping $4+ change. I'll grab those and get them in the dishwasher too, I'd rather use those than throwaways, I especially avoid styrofoam. See how exciting my day was at the end? My sister and I saw a small fawn, still spotted, on the way to the farm, that was it for wildlife. My book club is grabbing a late lunch today, so I'll get dressed for that later. Anyways, have a great day, blessed be.

Starting out rather sticky out there but at least it wasn't 90 or above when we went out this morning. Another hot day though.
Today Karen and I are going to lunch. I'm going to ask Karen if she will stop at UPS on the way. Right now I have the washer doing it's thing. And in a short bit I'll be doing the ironing from the other day. That is all that I have planned for the day as far as I know. Too hot to do much of anything.
Yes, Laurie, it is cheaper here to live here. That is why I said I can't afford to live in MN.

Good Morning....
We are having torrential rain right now. It's been raining heavy all night and will continue through most of the day. Good thing I live at the top of a hill.
DH & DBIL are having a meeting with the social worker and who knows who else this morning. Need to get some things worked out. I didn't go over there yesterday and DH didn't go back from the morning. She was still sleeping then. We think it's best not to be there so much and let the staff do their job without us micro watching everything that goes on. Hoping today will be a good day for her. DH just said she is dressed and eating breakfast by the nurse station.
Today we will finish up packing things in her apartment. We got a lot done yesterday...so mainly it's just moving the big boxes/tubs out. DH will have a moving company come and bring all her furniture to our house that he feels he can either sell, or donate. Some things will get tossed. We have till the end of the month to vacate.
Hope everyone has a great day.........

Good morning, The people are here putting up gutters. I am glad to be getting those done. I was on hold 1 hour yesterday and we got disconnected. and I called back and waited another hour. Think I finally got the problem solved, at least I hope so. All because of someone using the wrong billing code. Laurie, I don't use styrofoam either. Thinking of your mil CJay. Hoping for the best. My cousin had brain surgery yest and my sister is having surgery heal hernia. Worried about both of them. I hope everyone is doing well. Maybe I will get To the store tomorrow., 🦋🦋

Good Morning Ladies - - - We just had another rain shower within the last hour. Looks like it's over now and the sun is coming out. That could make for a sticky time. Not much for news here and nothing special planned for the day - I will get the mail after it comes later today and read the paper. I didn't get yesterdays, as it wasn't here yet when I came home from coffee, and I didn't go back out. I know you will all probably think I have lost it completely, but I was hungry for chili, and even in this heat, I made a pot of it yesterday. I deceided that a hot dish, or whatever else I made was hot when I ate it, so why not eat chili? It tasted good to me last night and if I get tired of it, or think it's too hot for it, I can always freeze some and would actually like to have some in the freezer, so that may be part of the plan! IC, have a good day and keep cool. Laurie, I'm sure you do miss your clothesline! I don't have one here, and did miss it when I came, but I wouldn't be able to take the wet clothes to it now, so guess all is good! You had a good day at the thrift store! CJ, it will be good when you have the apartment emptied and those things taken care of. I hope that your DMIL can have some days of comfort. Carolyn, glad that you got your billing problem solved and can move on to other things now. I know you will be happy to have the gutters finished.

Goodmorning grannies, another nasty. rainy and dark day here. Looks like the fall out from Byrl went to the west of here. We did get some rain and more rain and gusty wind for today. Much lower temp today as the temp this afternoon is only to in the lower 70s. I have dwaddled around this morning thinking I had a dr appointment later. When I checked my calendar I found it is next week. When you are as busy as I am the days are all the same.
Laurie nice that you have some time to do some of the things you never seem to have time for. Sorry to hear the clothes line broke! Hope nothing needed to be rewashed! I had the T post for my clothes line and mine just folded in on itself with all my freshly washed clothes! I was not happy when that happened! I don't like those disposable things either! I prefer real prefer real plates!
Mamma enjoy the lunch with your friend I think eating out is more about the friend than the food. I can usually find something I like
CJ Good to hear that MIL is resting and the apt is getting cleaned out. Always a difficult job
Time to move on to the shower

Good afternoon to all. It is hot and muggy here after a rainy day yesterday resulting in another 1.7" falling to the ground. We see big zucchini in the garden--that weren't nearly that big yesterday--but we don't dare walk into the muddy mess that the garden now is to get it! And, I am confident there are green beans that need picked! The mosquitoes are out in force, too, after all the rain.
Emmett and Amelia are here today and we have made apple zucchini bread. We will be leaving soon as we have to have Emmett at the Covered Bridge Market in Russellville, MO, to get his bacon, trim it, season it and get it ready to cure there for the Cole County Fair which is at the end of the month. Mike helps with the hams, but this is the way they do the cured bacons. The Maries County Fair, where the other 3 grands compete, does it a bit differently and not until late August as their fair is not until Labor Day weekend.
Laurie, Mike made me a "T" clothesline as soon as we moved here and it has stood the test of time so far. I would be lost without it; especially when I was rugs, curtains, etc. It is hard to find clothespins these days, though! Many people have asked him to start making sets, but he hasn't had time so far.
CJ, I can sympathize with you packing up DMIL's apartment. That is exactly what we had to do when Mike's mom passed away and boy did she have a lot packed into that duplex! We are just now getting everything we ended up taking home with us arranged, organized, or dispersed.
Carolyn, I am totally frustrated with a similar situation between Mike's insurance and the hospital on his charges from last year's ER stay. Apparently, after paying the claim, nearly a year later the insurance decided to recoup their payment!
Jane, if you want chili, then by all means enjoy it! You are the only one you need to please!
Grammy, I bet you are getting the rain that moved on east from us yesterday. No storms at all, just a continuous slow rain all day long.
IC Cook, going to be very hot here at the end of the week, too.
Mama, how was your lunch out with Karen?
Time to go do Emmett's bacon. Love to all; enjoy the rest of your day.

I just checked the rain gauge and we have 3.3 inches since the rain started last night. Now, that is a lot of rain.
We got all the boxes/tubs taken out of the apartment and the big items to be moved all together in the living room for the movers. They will be bringing it all to my house and DH will go through and try to sell some pieces and donate others. It's all coming together. The sad thing is, DM keeps talking about when she goes home. We both feel so bad and kinda guilty clearing out her things without her knowing what is going on.
Carolyn...prayers for your sister and cousin.
We are having baked salmon, lime rice and roasted broccoli for supper. It's smelling pretty good.
