Good morning to you! It was 51* when I got up today, makes for great sleeping weather and it's only to get to 71*. This morning we have to go to Ann's and take pics of the new roof so she can pay the bill. She has wild raspberries over there too, so I hope to check those out before we head to Blueberry Hill. If I could get off my butt and head that way it'd be great, but my coffee needs to be drank first. Yesterday was an at-home day, I got more done in my sewing room, seems to be the project that never ends. My next quest is for a small filing cabinet, I'm trying to be as cardboard free as possible up there. Tomorrow is FIL's surgery, then a zoom meeting at 4:30, Friday is mine, Saturday History Center then farm, Sunday church with Al, then back to just home til the MP gets here one the 25th. I'm liking these "free-er" days. #1 and his doggo Gilbert will be here Thursday night through Friday, that'll be a short but fun visit. While he is here, DIL's mom will be coming to their house to help with the MP, I guess the MP has his own village already, he is now five months old and about 20#. Better go find some sweats and a long sleeved shirt. I see that my good ol' poison ivy is spreading, fun.....
The loons are calling right now, grab a chair and enjoy the lake. Blessed be.

Good Morning....
A much nicer morning with lower temps and humidity. I enjoyed my coffee on the swing.
I've been busy trying to keep the squirrel out of the suet feeder. He can empty it pretty quick when I'm not watching. This is a black squirrel with a red tail. I've been seeing more of these around lately.
DS#1 and DDIL are camping in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado with their new kitty Archie. DDIL wants to make Archie an adventure cat going on their travels with them.
DH is doing the final cleanup of the apartment and then that will be totally done. We might go this afternoon to see her or maybe not. She has a doctor appt tomorrow that he and his brother will be taking her to. Finally seeing an Orthopedic Dr about her ankle break and find out what will be done. She's always asking when she can go home....it's heartbreaking.
Well, we were suppose to have our new storm door installed yesterday. The guy came and took the old one off and then found out the new one won't fit. So now I'm left without a storm door and don't know what they are going to do about it. DH will handle it. Very disappointing.
Have a great day everyone.....

Good morning.
We have high heat and dew point again today. I do see gray clouds to the east and could smell rain on our way back home from the pet area. Not sure if the rain will make it here or not.
As per my life, not much of anything planned for today. There are things to do if I want to see them, but most days I have on blinders. I could go and get a head of lettuce but I think I've got enough for one more salad. And I could do some dusting but I have to be in the right mood. LOL I can always find excuses for almost anything. I'm retired so whats the rush, I don't need to be busting my butt every day anymore.
It's been a long time since I've made a hamburger so I may give that a try for supper tonight, and I just found some scallops in the freezer so I may take them out for supper tomorrow. Lunch? I've no idea, I'm not hungry yet and am enjoying a doughnut that I find much more satisfying than healthy food. LOL

Laurie, you sure like to be busy. If I lived by a lake I would spend my days fishing. Listening to the lonesome cry of a Loon is one thing from my childhood that I love to recall.
CJ, yes, how disappointing about the door. Unless your screen door is a special made size, he should have just a few choices in sizes so it shouldn't take long to get right. Adventurous and cat go hand in hand IMO. They love to roam. Still praying for the DMIL situation

Good Morning Ladies - - - I seem to be moving in slow motion this morning. Hope that improves as the day goes on. I didn't get out of bed as early as I could have. I really wasn't sleeping, but it felt good to lay there, so I did! I guess I don't know what I need to rush into as most of my day is usually uneventful too! I did get a HC scheduled for this afternoon and I know I am going to feel so much better after I have that. Then I can come home and read the paper - don't know about supper - right now, the only thing that sound good is taco salad, and I don't have the fixings for that. I could do a pick up order while I'm out, but don't know that I want to do that either. I will be gone tomorrow. I did have a PM from one of the kids friends in Decorah a little while ago and she said they plan to be over here this weekend, if I need anything from Decorah, they would be happy to bring it over with them. I hate to bother them, and think it is so nice of them to offer.
Laurie, hope the berry picking goes well and you don't get any more PI! Glad you will be seeing hte MP again soon!
CJ, sorry to hear about the door, and hope you can find a replacement, sooner rather than later! Now that the weather is better it's so nice to have the door open and fresh air coming in. Good to hear the apartment is all taken care of and hope the Dr. appt. goes well also. I'm sure it's heartbreaking when she keeps asking about going home.
Mamma, yes, we have some busy days, doing little! I hope that smell of rain this morning turns into rain that cools things down for you!

Jane, a taco salad does sound good. I ate the last of my taco meat the other day. What I'm hungry for one minute will change the next minute. I do hope that the kids will make it down to see you this weekend. What a fun thing to look forward too.
Adorning myself with my neck fan I headed out back to put softener salt in the softener. Not a lick of a breeze and no sunshine. So I took advantage of the no sunshine and got that job done. I take a bowl, and it fills to about a pound and a half, and I use it to put about 10 to 15 pounds of salt in that way. Then I am able to lift the bag and pour in the rest. It's a hot job even on a day with no sunshine and too much work for an old lady such as myself. Thankfully I can use the dolly to get the bag of salt to the softener or I would have to find Johnny and ask him for help. I like doing what I can by myself though. I know I won't always be able to do this task myself. But it's done now for about a month. It's just me so it lasts pretty long.....thankfully. The bed is made now and I figured out a couple card folds that I have been meaning to try. Now to use that knowledge and make a couple new cards. But first I need to stand in front of a fan and cool/dry off.

It's been a cloudy/sunny day with temps going to the mid 80's. I'm still not ready for winter, cold, snow, etc. LOL There's not a lot going on here. I was gone all morning yesterday then did the regular things the rest of the day. Today is coffee at the Cabin. Tomorrow I have company coming in the afternoon so will get some snacks ready for that. Making up my mind what I want to eat is the "big" thing in my life. LOL Exciting, yes??? not! Have a great day everyone.

It afternoon again! I'm late getting here, guess it's better than never! I just was a tired out old lady yesterday and couldn't get a sensible post put together. today I feel better. Where did I lose all my energy? If you see it please send it back this way.
I'm really enjoying the stairmaster sure is nice to be able to go up and down those stairs and not be concerned about taking a nasty fall. Nothing going on here today another day just like the other one! I've been sitting outside enjjoying the nice day. Temp is 84 but low humidity add some sunshine that makes a nice day for me. Nice and warm not hot and sweaty! I do ave flannel pants a zip front hoodie and T shirt on.
Laurei sounds lie a great way to start a busy day!
CJ sorry the door has to be changed! I remember hanging a storm door while dh sat there telling me what to do next! I did learn how to do a lot of things
Mamma our water needs salt every few days! We do have lots of people here!
Greenback, that's the way most of my days are.
wish I had something to do that I could do! How nice of your son's friends calling to see if you need anything
Heading back outside with he kindle

After adding salt to the softener I had to stand in front of a fan to dry off and cool down. Then I worked on a card and am so pleased with my efforts. More ideas in my head just waiting to get out. LOL But first I need to clean up the mess in the kitchen from making a big salad, with lots of veggies, for lunch. Small kitchen makes any mess look big. I had more counter space in our fifth wheel. More storage too. Oh well that is in the past and it was fun.
Since not all of you can see my cards on FB here is the one I made today. Click on the picture for a better view.
