71 degrees. I am sore from all the cleaning and reaching I did in this porch yesterday. Morning is a good time for sitting out here though as it faces the East. ICook, Dustin is a hard job. But then everything is hard on me n arthritis. Mama, remember 3 years ago I was eating no meat, eggs , dairy, or fats? You told me I should be getting protein. You was right. I lost weight n gained more wrinkles on my arms. I still don't eat much meat, but do eat eggs, Still don't eat dairy or cheese. My biggest problem is sweets. I am having an egg sandwich now n coffee. My sister is through her surgery and I am praying she will be able to eat. My cousin has good vitals but still in ICU. With a feeding tube. I am praying for him also I will hush n just wish you all the best day ever. ✔️✔️

Goodmorning grannies, a very warn morning already the temp is 83 going to the low 90s later today and a little warmer for a couple of days. I just move from inside chair to outside chair hot outside and too darn cold inside even with all the vents closed.
Cleaning girl should be here this morning to do a few things for me. I need some things put away and the inside plants need water along with the usual stuff!
I started a little project this week and need to get back and finish it. I only have a few pcs of good jewelry so I started sorting things to give some pcs to certain kids and marking others. I know tehy have no idea of the family history or sentimental value of some things. do they know that a pin and ear rings were a graduation gift to me in 1950 and few other things. they get to keep or dispose of them. A few pcs belonged to my DM. I might work on that more today. I just sorted now to decide? I just don't think those things should be tossed out.
Not much happening here today other than the cleaning gets done.
ICgood morning to you sorry you couldn't sleep last night. I did sleep a little better and feel a little better today. cJ computers have a mind of their. DD comes to whip this one back into line and tells me tha I'm not smart enough to kill it. I don't want it dead I just want it to do what I want done

Good Morning Ladies - - - Another nice morning at 77 and warming up all of the time. Yesterday it stayed very comfortable in here and I didn't need to turn the AC on after all. Guessing that won't be the case today. I didn't get up until 9 today - been awhile since I have been in bed that long. I was up at 6:30 for the second time, and then took me a little to get back to sleep, but guess I did!! IC, sorry you had a bad night and if you don't feel up to the dusting, then just let it go! There is always another day a coming. Carolyn, sending prayers for your DS in her recovery and glad the surgery is over. Hope your cousin will be doing nicely also. An egg sandwich is always good. Grammy, good idea to line up who is to get what with your jewelry. That way, everyone knows your wishes and no one should have their feelings hurt. It's sad when things we so treasure mean little to others and you wonder if they will be kept. I guess we can only do what we feel is right in our hearts, and then have to let go of what happens. Guess I have sat here long enough - time to get in the shower and get dressed, although I do have to say, my nightgown is pretty comfortable.

IC, so sorry you had a sleepless night. That makes for a long uncomfortable day.
Carolyn, yes, I remember you not eating any meat. My tastes have changed so much, I don't like much of any meats. Vegetarians eat a lot of lentils and I WILL NOT eat them. So I opted for the protein shakes. I do like eggs and cheese but they are high in cholesterol so I have to watch how much of that I eat.
Grammy, I remember how much cooler the basement got than the upstairs. Many time we went downstairs because it was cooler. But I can understand why you are cold.
Jane, enjoy your nice weather or as long as it lasts.

Hello to all. We had some light rain most of the morning which was a surprise as it wasn't forecast. I slept in until 7, but when I checked outside, it had just quit raining and wasn't too hot, so I quickly set out to accomplish my walk, after hanging a small load of clothes on the line that I put in to wash as we went to bed. I came back from walking and watered the under-the-porch eaves flowers and came in and took my shower. It wasn't long until Mike came in saying it was raining again. The clothes are still on the line, it is not raining now, so they may have dried with the light breeze.
After breakfast, I got to work on the reunion food, made oatmeal roll dough and have made a cornbread layered salad, Jane's cucumber/onion pasta salad, and baked a chocolate zucchini cake. The dough has now been made into rolls (I made a batch and a half, so I have 63 rolls rising) so have yet to bake those and also have to make chocolate icing for the cake. LOTS of dishes have been done; Mike helped with some of those since he couldn't get outside. I still need to clean bathrooms, dust mop and wet mop, but not sure all of that will get done.
IC Cook, are you making the cucumber pasta salad? I was going to make a pasta salad, but Mike brought in so many cucumbers from the garden, I changed my mind to use more of those up.
Carolyn, prayers for your ailing family members.
Grammy, that jewelry will be treasured by whomever you give it to, but so will the story of how you came to have it; perhaps even more so than the jewelry itself.
Good morning, Jane! We haven't had our AC off for several weeks now.
Good morning, Mama. Do you still drink a lot of milk?
Time to get that frosting made. It calls for a blender, but I'm wondering if I could do it some other way...

Hi all-it's a warm one here today, but the windows are open and the ceiling fans and a standing fan are making it really nice in here. #2 and GF made it to her parents' place yesterday and we will be making a quick trip to see #1 and family in a couple of days. The Yeti is picking up a set of kitchen cabinets that will be replacing some at deer camp. Yesterday we went to Ann's cabin to help move the materials in for a new roof and then dusted and a few other things at the other house. Someone contacted the realtor about doing a contract for deed, no, purchase only. I guess there's been a lot of interest, hopefully serious ones too. We went and picked 1 1/2 quarts of wild blueberries yesterday and more than that today. We will go back where we were today again, nice sized and easy picking. The Yeti's uncle joined us and we went for lunch after. The wild raspberries are out too, some on Ann's island and others near the blueberries. I appear to have found Poison Ivy-the Yeti thinks at Ann's when I was picking up some brush in the yard. Oh well, could be worse and spray on calamine lotion is pretty awesome. I could snooze right now, getting up early and the heat in the woods is nap inducing.
