Good morning! I thought I'd just pop in this morning and let everyone know that it four months it will be Christmas day. 
A beautiful morning with heat to arrive. The morning sit was very nice. Got to see and hear some squirrels.
Meatloaf, little cooked potatoes, gravy, and another veggie yet to be determined will be lunch. I haven't made a meal for quite a while so figured I'd better get back in the good wifey mode. LOL.
Tomorrow when I get home, I'll be making the Oreo pops centers. Tuesday they will get coated and bagged. Wednesday is our end of summer bash at the main office. It's really a retirement party for one of the women, surprise. I'm sure she knows. Have you ever eaten the grape salad? I was thinking of taking or making that too. Should I or shouldn't I. I do really like it. I'll have to ponder that for a bit.
Guess I should get up and finish getting ready for church. A nap will happen this afternoon ... I think!
Later.

Good morning.
And a beautiful morning it is too. The temp is 78ยบ and the dew point is 10. Now that is more to my liking. High today of 104.
Today is the last Sunday of helping with morning coffee at church. Yippppeeeeeeeeee! No more rushing in the morning to get to the church early, no more Marylee and no more getting home from church so late. I told Lynda if she volunteers for anything again it better not include me, or I will tie her arms to her side and gag her. LOL, Her answer back was that she would help me do so. What was an innocent volunteer for one Sunday ended up being months. I will never do that again.
After church I invited Lynda to come over and go through all my stencils. She can pick how many and whichever ones she wants to keep. I screwed up when I ordered and can't send them back for some reason. Last night I took out some ham to make sandwiches if she would want some lunch. Nothing fancy, just that.
I slept so good last night that I didn't wake up until 6:35. Mandy was more than ready to get moving before mamma's coffee! 
Happy Sunday to all.

Good Morning Ladies - - - It's a hot one here today, and going to be even hotter tomorrow. Already it's 78 and only 10:40. I have to admit though, it's better than snow and I see they had some of that in the Ca. mountains. I went to church this morning and bought my ticket for the chicken dinner they are having next Fri. night. A guy comes and cooks it and seasoned wedggie's and he has a very good reputation for his chicken, but I have never had it, so anxious to try it. I have had his fish that he does during lent, and I like that!
Wanda, nice to see you again - - I thought you had given up on us - - don't be a stranger! Yes, I make the grape salad and really like it too. It's so refreshing.
Mamma, enjoy your last Sunday of helping. I do hope you will continue to help out in what every way you can now and then - - everyone needs to take their turn when they are able and you feel so good when you know you have helped others.
IC, do you ever eat leftovers or how do you get rid of them? You seem to be making a big meal every day - I know I like to cook for leftovers, but even so, I have them, intended or not.
Ellie, you asked yesterday about the allergy med. that I take - - It is just an over the counter Claration but it seems to help me, and has my PA's blessing. Pastor must be fighting allergies today too, as he was doing a lot of coughing.
Laurie, hope you have been having a great time with your little man.
Yesterday, I was getting ready to go to the melon stand when my friend in AL called - she was having a long day and talked for about a half hour. Then before I could get my shoes on, Jen called and they were on their way back for another load in SD. She was hoping it could be the last one, but thought there would be one more after this on. She talked until she got to the house, so by that time, the store was closed. I did bring home 2 big tomatoes from church today - I could have had lots of apples too, but didn't want an, and there was some sweetcorn too, but I passed on that.

Good Afternoon.....
We went to church at 9:30 and then a voter's meeting after and that seemed to go on and on and on. It was noon before we got home. We already knew what the outcome would be as Pastor had been asking people to vote "no". It was a vote as to whether to go forward with a building expansion. It really wasn't the best proposal but it was the cheapest. The committee will go back to the drawing board to come up with another proposal. This building expansion thing has been going on since 2016 and still nothing.
I want to make spaghetti sauce from the tomatoes on the vines. And probably have BLT's for supper with corn on the cob. It's really starting to heat up out there and the humidity is rising. We turned the a/c on...so it will be cool in here.
Have a great day everyone.....

It's still summer! It's 88* here and going to be in the 90's the next several days. It's still better than the cold, windy, snowy, messy, layering clothes winter. Ok, that's just my opinion. LOL
It's Prime Timer meal and fun tonight. I'm taking apple crisp. It's a recipe the cook in the school cafeteria always used and is very good.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow afternoon. Not much more for that day that I'm aware of.
JUSTME Yes, what Greenback said, you should pop in more often. Meatloaf is one of my favorite meats. I also like it in a sandwich.
MAMMA It sounds like a good afternoon with Lynda. The two of you seem to be a good friendship.
IC My a/c went on yesterday and it felt pretty good. I had made cookies and apple crisp so the oven heated things up.
GREENBACK I took Claritin several years ago and it didn't seem to help me. The Zyrtec doesn't seem to help either. I've never been diagnosed with allergies but do have CHF so that can contribute to the cough too. It will be interesting to hear how the "chef" and menu turns out. I usually say if I don't have to cook it, it's good! LOL
CJ I don't like long meetings either. Enjoy the sunshine and maybe some swing time if it isn't too hot.

Hello, I didn't fall off the face of the earth, I've got a lot of gravity going on, so here I am! Let's see, it's been crazy busy here. My Thursday company waited to come until Friday, that's ok as I had a training recertification on Thursday. They all came spread out, the MP brought his parents in the early afternoon and the second group of three about 5:00 and the third set about 7:00. We are 7 adults, a 14 year old, 12 year old, 3 year old who according to her is "trying to be four" and the MP. There are two spare dogs here too. In a bit there will be 2 more adults for Fry Bread Tacos. A lot of the prep is ready, so that's good. All but me and the doggos are out on the water, I had some proofing to do for the newsletter for the H Center and an eval to fill out for the Arts Council. Oops, they just got back and I'm not done, shocking!
FIL may get out tomorrow, the new pacemaker is working, he's had lots of tests and is on the upswing, he'll be doing dialysis now (that's new) and has been accepted at the local place for it, just has to have a negative TB test. Apparently not all places require that, so the test was just done, as soon as the results are in he can do a jail break. He did something to his on-line. "My Chart" account and locked himself out. The Yeti will go tomorrow and see what the discharge looks like. One group leaves tonight, the others tomorrow. I have to go somewhere at noon. I'd been asked to do a long-term job, about 16 days, fine. Now, it's much longer as someone is ill and resigned; I'll be back in 3rd grade again. Not what I'd planned for the fall, but that's ok too.
Hi to all and I hope you're feeling better! Blessed be all!

Good Sunday evening to all. It has been a busy day but we did get to sleep in until about 6:30 which was a treat as we have been getting up very early all this week. Yesterday was Emmett's first football game--they won 32-0. It was a few hours away and at 12:30 so that took up basically the entire day. We stopped by #1's house on the way and took Trinity and Drew to the game with us. Eli was doing one of his lawn mowing jobs so didn't get to see him. He is a busy guy these days and I miss him! We had a late lunch/supper all together at Applebees in Sullivan where the game was and it was basically time to go to bed when we got home. I did sleep better last night than I have in a long time!
Today was church and Sunday School, I put an apron over my church clothes and watered most of my flowers before we left for church. We did get over an inch of rain here at home while we were gone yesterday, but, luckily, it didn't rain at all where Emmett's game was played. We ran errands after church, including a couple of returns and came home and ate leftovers for a late lunch. Mike has worked outside this afternoon and I have done up the few dishes in the sink and worked up some tomatoes and have salsa bubbling on the stove and hope to can a few pints before bedtime. It hasn't reduced to the thickness I want yet, but then the type of tomatoes we have are not ones that lend to thickness. I put some colored bell peppers and a couple of onions in the food processor and added them to the tomatoes along with some vinegar and some Mrs. Wages seasoning for mild salsa. It smells good in here!
I then cleaned three of the bathrooms and just hung a load of laundry on the line. It is a little after six, but it is so hot outside it may dry before bedtime! The heat and humidity have returned in force! Mike came in soaked through and has had his shower and is taking it easy--thus the load of laundry that went on the line.
CJ, you are going to love your Speed Queen washer and dryer!
Laurie, give the microperson an extra cheek squeeze and smooch from me! The school and students will be lucky to have you and I know that the extra money comes in handy--that's why I went back to work myself! I haven't gotten my first pay check yet, but should get that on Friday. Most state workers get paid only once a month, but us part-timers get paid on the 15th and last day of the month. I started too late in the month to get into the 15th pay cycle as they pay in arears. It has been decided that I will likely work Tuesday and Wednesday full days and half day on Thursday, but I and they will be flexible as board and committee meetings require on their end and as grandparent duties require on my end. Mike is going to be able to work the same timeframe at his job so that will give us both a four-day weekend each week. They are flexible, too, so we are hoping it will work for both of us.
Grammy, that cake and ice cream sure sound good. My #1 SIL will turn 47 this week; #2 SIL will turn 50 in January--he is 9 years older than #2 DD. DD#1 is 44 and DD#2 will be 41 in November! How can that be when I am only 39 myself??
Hello, Justme! So good to hear from you and thank you for the Christmas reminder! Is there any meatloaf left over?
Mama, I would love to have your dew point today!
Elle, I take Zyrtec, too, and also sometimes wonder if it really helps. I do know with the steroids I am on right now for my ears/hearing, I have very little arthritis pain! I'd sure like to sample that apple crisp!
IC Cook, did you get your chicken soup made?
Jane, I've never had the grape salad, but would like to try it--and some of that fried chicken you'll be having Friday night!
Mike just put hamburgers on our small Blackstone that we bought when we had the camper. We decided we might as well set it up outside on the back porch and use it so we are using it for burgers tonight. I have cucumber/onion pasta salad to accompany the burgers.
I get a much needed haircut tomorrow morning. She's not usually open on Mondays; my original appointment was on Friday, but she messaged and asked if I would be able to come tomorrow morning and that actually works better for me, so I immediately said yes.
Wishing all a blessed Sunday evening.
