Good morning, I am sitting on the screened porch soaking up some sun. Not too hot as it has been. I had some scrambled eggs and then some watermelon . My sister is having surgery today. Praying she will feel so much better. Leroy, sorry you didn't Hope you rested better. I have too much stuff in my house. Going to vacuum here in a bit. Did I say I got my gutters and they look really nice. My grandson flipped my mattress for me And helped me make the bed, all of the laundry is done. Nowhere to go. Maybe next week, senior citizens will have bingo at the fair grounds. Hope all of you are well. Guess I will get busy. My coffee is gone. 🌺🌺

Good morning I've just been playing around on the computer since coming in with Mandy. Hot but not quite as sticky this morning. I really wish we would get some rain to settle the dirt and clean the air. But what rain was on the radar never made it over the mountains.
Nothing special or anything else planned for the day. I do have to change the sheets but they won't get washed until tomorrow. I wasted the cooler part of the morning so tomorrow it is.
Making my grandmas chicken fricasee for lunch (You will only find her recipe on my recipe blog it is NOT what you think.) and a protein shake for supper I'm not getting enough protein and I think that is park of my tiredness and sluggishness. I picked up 8 bottles yesterday and hope it will help. I don't eat much of any meat anymore. In fact I can't remember when I last bought any. I hate chicken and pork, only fish I eat is fresh caught sunfish or crappie and none to be had here, and beef is so expensive. Even when I eat something I don't finish half of it anymore which is why I don't buy beef. I don't even finish a salad, no mater how big or small. Haha, maybe I'll lose some weight. BUT..... Junk food is my achilles heel.
Have a fabulous Friday.

Good Morning Ladies - - - Going to get to be a hot one today - I'm sure I will need to turn the AC on later but for now, it's comfortable in here. It's 77 already at 10:30 and sunny. I have been trying to place a grocery order, and needed to call on it, so had to stay handy to their site until I got that resolved. I tried last night, and got a new debit card, which I entered the new info, but guess that was the problem - I needed to delete the old one first, and I thought that putting the new one in would just override it. Anyway, my order is now placed. Otherwise, not much new happening here - I have a load in the washer that I;m sure is ready for the dryer now, but didn't want to get too far from the computer. IC, I'm sure you will enjoy having the curtains all fresh again. Enjoy your time with Christina. Carolyn, what nice grandson to help you with the bedding. That help is so appreciated as we age. Mamma, is there any watermelon left? I ordered a small container of it today. Also getting more cherries - - I love the bing cherries and the season is so short. I made a pork tenderloin and scalloped potatoes yesterday. I love those little tenderloins as they are just about a lb. so not a lot to have to have over and over. They make a good sandwich sliced with a little horseradish too! Since I was going to have the oven going, I thought I might as well do the potatoes too, since I had some that needed to be used and also the same with part of an onion. I over cooked the meat a little but the potatoes sure hit the spot! Other than getting my grocery order, not alot planned for the day -- should go to Ks too, as I need bread - I like how their bread stays fresh better than other bread, so always try to get it there. Best i keep moving.

Jane, just a small bowl of watermelon left. Thankfully it was a very large melon. I could really go for a potato. Maybe I'll just order a single or two instead of a bad that rots before I can finish. I finally got the sheets changed and now I'm sitting here again. LOL

Late again! seem to get slower every day! Just tired and feel weak and I don't want to do anything! I sit outside in the sun for a while then back inside. This morning I looked out and there was the orphan goat eating my flowers!! I did go to the door and yell at it which did no good it just kept on eating! Chef came to see what was happenig. He then picked the little goat up and returned it to the place it belongs1 One of the goats has a serious infection. The vet. sent a sample to a lab if it's a certain thing they will all have t be destroyed!! Results should be back from the lab on Monday! This little one has not been exposed to the infection so it is kept in a separate place.
IC nice clean curtains get rid of dust and look so fresh!
Carolyn glad you like the gutters. Sounds like you have a few busy days
Mamma you might try asking google about some meatless meals. Lots of vegetarians out there!
Yesterday we celebrated 5 July birthdays! The Litzke family had 3 and we had two. There was a pretty decorated cake left when the food distribution ended so dd managed to get that and there was spaghetti with meatballs and a lovely cake for 18 of us
Now I need to find another place to sit

Good afternoon to all on a very hot and muggy day in central MO. Going to be even hotter through the weekend. I got up at 6:00, pulled the sheets off the bed and put them in the washer, went for my walk, came back and hung the sheets on the line, fed and watered all my flowers, pulled weeds, had breakfast with Mike who had started mowing when I left for my walk, took my shower and washed my hair, then went to town to get my nails done and a couple of other stops, including the bank, and got home about 1:00. Leftover pizza for lunch and now I am here to catch up with all of you before starting some house cleaning. Mike broke a belt on the mower and still has a bit left to do so he just left to go in search of a replacement belt.
Yesterday was a day for lots of errands, some dusting, going over plans for a garage/shop we hope to build and then dinner out at a rustic bar/grill place with our car club. We had the special of fried fish, fried potatoes and onions, hush puppies and baked beans which was good.
Jane, I love those small pork loins, too, especially the pre-seasoned ones. Pure meat and no waste to them and they taste delicious.
Grammy, happy birthday to the July birthday club of your family and friends. Have you talked to your primary care provider about the tiredness/weakness? Perhaps he has some idea about whether or not it could be a med side effect or if you might need some iron or something else to put a bit more pep in your step.
IC Cook, hope Christina has no more bad news for a while.
Good morning, Carolyn.
Good morning, Mama. All this talk about watermelon makes me hesitant to admit that I don't like it at all. In fact, there is no kind of melon that I do like.
Going to have a pre-cooked rack of ribs that I had in the freezer for supper with cole slaw and corn on the cob. Not sure what we will do for dessert. I have to cook tomorrow for the McKim reunion this weekend--it's going to be HOT! I wouldn't be allowed in if I didn't bring my oatmeal rolls and I know I will be taking a big bowl of pasta salad and a dessert yet to be determined. Thinking an apple or zucchini cake as I have both apples and zucchini that need to be used. And, we always contribute to the cost of the meat that my cousin who hosts the reunion grills as he does a massive amount and should not be stuck with the total cost.
Time to do something productive. Wishing all a fantastic Friday.
