Good Morning....
It's a bit cooler today and drier. Had storms on Tuesday night that got quite intense. I never saw trees bend the way they were bending. Luckily we only had a few blinks on and off of our electricity. Most the town was out. Even DD lost power and Penny's school was closed yesterday. School is open today and their power is on. The have a generator, so they were okay. Thought I might have both kids today and even DD & DSIL as their internet was out but it's back this morning. They both work from home so having internet is vital.
I love my new washer. Still learning the different setting for various wash loads but it's doing a great job. Even DH said how much better his clothes smell from being so clean. The laundry is actually submerged in water instead of just swishing back and forth and not even totally wet at times. Debbie....did you see my question about which settings you tend to use the most?
Almost time to get Teddy then back for play time. They were planning to go up north for the weekend, but now they aren't sure they will. If they don't, then I'll have Penny and Teddy tomorrow (school closed for the holiday weekend). Next week Teddy starts his regular days and I'll just have him on Thursdays.
Have a great day everyone......

I fell asleep in front of the TV yesterday afternoon & slept for two hours, so last night I couldn't fall asleep & kept waking up to go pee I hate those nights.
CJ Storms here last night & no sun today

Good Morning Ladies - - - It's 70 and cloudy and looks like rain will be happening. I think they were talking about storms here for late today into the evening. Hope it won't be raining early, as today we are meeting for lunch as the HS gals gather. Nice day for the 4 of us regardless.
That sounds like some storm, CJ - - -glad you didn't loose power. Glad to hear you like your new washer. I will keep that in mind, just in case I need to do a replacement sometime along the line.
IC, I understand your night of not sleeping well - - - Hope you won't have many of those.

Good morning
Not all that bad this morning but we took the cart anyway. Mandy said hi to Emily and Mary, did her business and was ready to go home. She was quick. I think she just wants to go home and have her treat. Can't blame her I want to finish my first cup of coffee too. 
Today and for the rest of the week it is going to be awfully hot. UGH. I want to bake cookies. The store bought are starting to make me gag. I just don't want to start up the oven when the ac is working hard to keep me comfortable. Oh well.
Changing sheets today and making Christmas cards if I can get the creative juices to flow. No rush since I don't need many this year. But the hobby keeps me busy and away from grazing. And I do enjoy it once I get going.
CJ, it's good to hear that you are happy with your new washer.
IC, I stop drinking water by 8:30 and that is helping me get through the night with less trips to the bathroom. That is hard to do down here in the summer months too.
Jane, I know you will have an enjoyable time with your HS friends today. I hope the food is just as enjoyable.
Time to get to the to do list which thankfully is short today.

There' no sunshine yet today here. But it's going to be another hot one, 88*. There were storms all around me yesterday but we got just a few sprinkles. The grass definitely won't need mowing this week. I have company coming this afternoon. I made lemon cookies but I don't think they're that good. Maybe the company will feel differently. I hope so. LOL Labor day weekend already!!! The last hooray for summer, at least for the calendar.
CJ Question, what did you mean when you said some the of the clothes weren't totally wet? Penny and Teddy will miss coming to your house to play and have fun.
ICOOK Maybe you can have a shorter nap today. LOL Maybe your body needed the long one yesterday.
GREENBACK Have fun time with your 4 friends today. Is this a favorite restaurant you're going to? It's just nice to be with friends, isn't it.
MAMMA I also stop drink early. I have friends say they get up 3-5 times a night to go to the LGR but they're sipping on coffee or some liquid most of the day. Hey, what goes in must come out. LOL Enjoy the day.
It's about lunch time but I don't know what it will be.

GRAMMY You said it!!! So many changes in the years we've lived!! School never started until after Labor Day and ended by the middle of May. But we didn't have snow/weather days either. At least not nearly as many as they get today. I hope they don't keep you waiting too long to get the new bars on your shower/tub. My mornings go fast too. I try to do things in the afternoon, things here in the house and even my social life. LOL

Elle...the old washer doesn't have an agitator, so the clothes never really did much than just swish back and forth in very little water. The water never covered the clothes and the swishing never made them go under the water. It's suppose to be energy efficient but I can't see that when they don't get wet on top or clean. I would put things in with spills or stains on them and they never came out. Where, this new washer has an agitator like the old kind did and they get clean...and the washer fills to cover the clothes. I'm very happy with it.

Ok, I take it you think the agitator is a good thing in the washers. Thanks for responding. Enjoy your nice new washer and clean clothes.

Good afternoon to all. It's a hot one here. Mike and I are both done as of noon (11:30 for him) with our 20 hours of work this week so I am home and going to do a few things before we head to Vienna for the Maries County Fair which starts today and runs through Saturday night. DD#1 and family are very involved in that. Eli is a junior this year and the junior class runs the main Fair food stand as their main fundraiser as well as all game concession stands throughout the year. I know DD has cooked 100 pounds of hamburger into taco meat and has been running around like crazy as Eli is treasurer of the class which means both of them have lots of responsibilities concerning the food stand. Also, Trinity is competing in the Junior Princess contest at the Fair tonight and she, Drew and Eli will be selling either their country-cured ham or bacon (whichever places better after judging today) at the livestock sale tomorrow night. And, there is a parade on Saturday (if Trinity wins, she wants her Paw Paw Mike to drive her in his truck in the parade--I reminded her she has to win first. And, Eli has worked on a car of some sort that he and a friend are planning to co-drive in a figure 8 car race on Saturday night. Country music star Easton Corbin playing after the livestock auction tomorrow night, too. So, lots of activities packed into this weekend. We need to mow here, but we both have off tomorrow so will probably work until tomorrow to tackle that.
CJ, I use the Permanent Press and Heavy Duty cycles the most on mine. It has a special cycle for whites, but I find that the Heavy Duty cycle on hot water does just as good a job on the whites as the special cycle. I also like the steam refresh cycle on my dryer. I love my Speed Queen set, too. How can not getting the clothes clean and taking so long to not clean them be energy efficient, I ask you?? I vary the settings on the permanent press cycle according to what clothes I have in there. If Mike has been out mowing the yard and gets quite sweaty, I use the heavy mode; otherwise, the regular setting. If I have whites and want them to soak (Mike is awful about wanting to wear white t-shirts and then getting them absolutely filthy), I add a soak cycle to the heavy duty option.
Time to get ready to start our Fair activities. Wishing all a wonderful rest of your day.
