Good morning Finally not 90º or above when we went out this morning. It was 82º an hour ago and the dew point was not quite as bad as it has been. The temp as gone up 5 degrees since I got up at 6. Hot today and through.....who knows. hehehe
A quick trip for a couple sale items at Fry's and to Wm for a watermelon. I have a load of clothes taking a ride in the washer and my coffee is about gone. Not much else happening here.
Yesterday after I worked on a couple cards and made my neck very angry. I was light headed the rest of the day. A nerve must have gotten pinched which often happens when Looking down for so long or sitting or who knows. The art in the neck is a real literal pain in the neck.
As I expected I could only eat half my burger last night and even the fries were only half eaten. Mandy loved getting a few fries though. Today's lunch will be a french bread pizza if I remember to take the mozzarella cheese ball out of the freezer. Supper may be yogurt and a protein shake. I could possibly change my mind on all meals as I usually do. It all depends on what I am hungry for at the time. Which is why I rarely if ever make meal plans.

Good morning! It's 66 glorious degrees and only to get to 77* today. The Kravitz ladies have been preoccupied by a taunting squirrel in the yard, perched in a tree. Oh well, such is life of a canine at the lake. The Yeti is off to the dr w/ his dad to get is pacemaker, sounds like an overnight stay. I am getting serenaded by the washer, sheets are in it as my PI needs to get washed out of them and thinner sheets will go on the bed next. Sounds like we will be going with a traditional clothesline after mine collapsed again. I am excited for that! #1 will be up late tonight for a photoshoot locally tomorrow and #2 just called, they are in the final stretch to get back to Brooklyn, one more night and then NYC. The raspberries that I got went right into the freezer and I froze the blueberries on cookie sheets and they will go into ziplock this afternoon. Then we can just scoop out what we want. I do plan to do one batch of raspberry jam and one of blueberry, so I'll need to go out again. After the wash gets moved to the dryer I think I'll be heading back upstairs to my sewing area and get some stuff done.
Mama, have you thought of using a slanted surface for the cards? Think of a slanted type podium? That would take some strain off of your neck perhaps.
Blessed be everyone!

Laurie, I would still have to look downward and the slant would have the pieces of paper slide off before I could get them set the way I want and glued down. Nope no slants.
Well, I'm back from Fry's and they had all the sale items I wanted excpet the strawberries. They had the berries but they were not very ripe and had no nice smell either. So I passed on the strawberries. But I got a head of lettuce the size of a soccer ball and was just 5¢ more than the soft softball head I got yesterday from WM. I've been eating a lot of salads lately and going through a lot more eggs for hard boiled. I have to have an egg in my lettuce salad.
Yesterday I cooked up a chicken breast with a lot of seasoning, soaked it over night in chicken broth for moisture and added flavor. I'm going to make a pasta salad and shred the chicken into the salad. I hope that will work so I don't pick out the chicken. I'm trying to get more protein in my diet without a lot of meat that I don't like, including the protein shakes. So far it's not really helping, it might just be my age too.

Not a lot of sunshine but it does come out now and then. Temps are in the upper 70's. Nice day!! I have company coming later so maybe it can be some outside time. Nothing much going on other than that.
LAURIE The new clothesline sounds good. I wish I had one.
MAMMA Take care of the neck!! I know you do. BTW, I truly thought the cards were beautiful. Very talented.

Good afternoon to all. It's been a busy last couple of days. Yesterday was Mike's first day on the new part-time job and it was also our day for Emmett and Amelia and Josie ended up coming, too. I met DSIL in Wardsville, MO, got them, brought them back to our house and we had breakfast and got on with a busy day. Amelia and I, with Josie's help, made a double batch of pina colada zucchini bread, some in mini loaf pans and Amelia took the mini ones home to freeze and will be entering those in the county fair which is week after next. They turned out quite nice and she was excited to package one of the small loaves up for Paw Paw for his lunch today. They kept me busy all day and Mike, too, once he got home about 4 as he played outside with them for an hour or so before it was time to take them back to meet their mom. We came home and had supper, I picked up and pretty much called it a day.
Today, I had a 7:30 a.m. dentist appointment in California, MO, and a 9:00 hair cut appointment in Jefferson City. I had just enough time to get a breakfast biscuit at Wendy's in Jefferson City before the hair cut. After the hair cut, I went to the grocery store, to Target to get a prescription, to the nail salon to have three nails repaired that had chipped off already even though I just got them done Friday. Then to TJ Maxx and finally home. I just took my walk, it was a bit cooler today, but I still worked up a good sweat by doing it at this time of day, which I don't like to do. I like getting it out of the way early. Now, I need to take a loaf of the PCZ bread over to the across-the-road neighbor lady who had her knee replaced yesterday (surgery in the morning, walking by noon and home by 2:00); makes me a bit mad about how much more complicated the surgery was a few years ago when I had mine done--LOL. Then, after my visit with Lisa, I need to attack the house and get all that out of the way so I can start packing. There is so much stuff laid out on the bed in one of the spare bedrooms I need to see if it is all going to fit!
Mike worked again today, will work a half day tomorrow and then be off until after our vacation. Tomorrow afternoon, we plan to go and pay the initial payment on the garage/shop we are planning to build so we can get the ball moving on that. Looks like it will be October before the concrete work can be done and then the building will come after that has had time to cure a bit. We hope to have it done by the end of the year.
I got a call yesterday that I am a finalist for the position for which I interviewed on Monday, they are checking my references and will be getting back to me. So, I may have a big decision to make.
I have cooled down enough now that I think I'll do the walk across the road and down their long driveway to go visit ny neighbor so I can give her the bread and get back here and get to work. I picked up some pre-made hamburger patties on the reduced meat section at the grocery store and that will be our supper along with some onion rings done in the oven and I still have some of the salads left from the weekend.
Wishing all a good rest of your day. Hope your weather is cooling off like ours is; so much nicer than the extreme heat earlier this week!

Now he wants me to wear the compression sox! Guess I"ll try them but someone will have to haelp get them on! That's the most difficult job I have. Getting sox on and off! Too many changes in my life to like it.

Mamma there are good sales at most stores every week I haven't been shopping for such a long time I really don't know. i just remember going to shop the best sale items.
We just saw the car of the future!! WOW! It was in the parking lot at the dr office looks like something from a comic book a real beauty. I didn't see any Mfg. name so no idea who makes it, my guess would be Honda since this is the corp area for Honda area for Honda America!
