Good Morning....
It's a chilly one out there this morning. I did manage to have one cup of coffee on the swing, but it was quite cold....only 50*. It will warm up to around 70 today.
I will be heading to Kroger in a few minutes. I want to make a 4 bean salad for supper tonight. Haven't made one all summer. And I need eggs, so I'll see what the price is here.
Not much happening today. I'll find something to do, but I got most all my cleaning done yesterday....so maybe it will be something fun.
Have a great day everyone.......

Good morning.
It's already 90º but at least it's not humid. No plans for today just sit and do nothing. Not sure if I'll make any cards today or not. I do know I will only go outside when Mandy needs to go.
Yesterday Lynda and I went to Fry's (Krogers) and picked up the Folgers (half caff) that is on sale and a couple other sale items. I checked their price on eggs and it was well over $5 a dozen and their milk was way over $2 for a half gallon as well. That place is true example of price gouging on everything. Lynda and I only buy what is a good sale there, too expensive for anything else.
Lynda brought over a little fireplace for me yesterday. She has one and had another one in her shed. I cleaned it up and it is now sitting in the living room in a temporary spot.
 We used to have one. I love the ambience at night and it will be nice in the winter too. I then decided to put the cabinet doors back on under the tv. Big mistake. I had to get on the floor and back up, both of which are extremely hard for me to do. My arms were put to the test trying to get this fat old lady down and up. I had to take a pain pill, my shoulders were really hurting. They are okay this morning so I didn't do any damage. I did nothing else the rest of the day.
Happy Labor day!

Good Morning Ladies - - - So far, it doesn't sound like too big of a day for any of us. It's a cool start to the morning here also, but up to 61 now and it's sunny, so will get warmer. I shut the window part way last night and brought my spread up - it all felt good too! Nothing on the horizon here today! Yesterday was a do nothing kind of day - - I warmed up the leftover frozen pizza for lunch and picked up a cheeseburger at KS, when I picked up an order there. I was going to take a nap when my friend called and she said she was going to stop by, so that took care of that - I did get a little one in around 4 though. Talked to Darcy and she was canning salsa.
CJ, glad you could enjoy the swing this morning, even if it was for a short time. Those morning will be becoming fewer and fewer too! Enjoy your salad.
Mamma, what a nice surprise from your friend. I'm sure you will enjoy it many evenings. I just got a half gal. of milk and it was 2.39 and I didn't need eggs, but checked the price at KS and it was 3.99. I hope everyone has an enjoyable and restful day today.

Hi, It's my last day of summer vacation, back to school tomorrow. I saw what miscommunication and hearsay do first hand yesterday, wow! All is fine with me, but I got up, graciously said goodbye and left.
Al is good, not the steadiest on his feet at times, but overall, pretty good as his heart dr said "see you in six months." I'll take that.
FIL is home, he was just watching tv yesterday. His recliner gave up the battle yesterday as he sleeps in it a lot, so....the lift recliner to the rescue! Uncle #1 had one, it wound up at Uncle #2's to be stored. It came here for dad, then to BIL's when his wife had knee surgery. Now it is at the IL's. I do believe it has been quite handy. Everyone gets a workout moving it, it slides ok, but with the mechanisms it is heavier than heck. Now, if he'd just sleep in a bed. Another aunt was at the IL's yesterday (confused yet?), she lost her husband earlier this year and had gone over for a visit. I'd gotten a text that Auto spell-changed to "she'd brought a horseshoe for supper." Umm....it was a hot dish, obviously not a Minnesota version. BIL's family was there too and one of the girls got stung by a wasp. They've had a couple of nests get zapped this year, I think since no one is outside as much that happened. The uncle who had a stroke is out of rehab and home too.
The cucumber battle is almost over! The apples are on deck, there are a few that need to be dealt with today, the other's not so much. I've a short list of things to gather for school, throw a lunch together and go to bed on time tonight. #2 called the other day, I've been invited to NYC to see him and his sweetie, that'll have to happen after the holidays. I see we are to get to 74 today, it's 61* right now, my to-do list is sitting across the table from me, I should "do" it, but since I can't read it from here.....that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Blessed be!
Carolyn-I've never had to have the injections, my mom did though and they were very helpful. Why did the dr schedule them so far out?

Mamma...eggs at Kroger today are 2.39 a dozen and I had a .50 off coupon on them too....so only 1.89. I like your fireplace. Does it put out any heat or just for looks?
Greenback...I have meant to say how sorry and sad I was to hear about Josie. I know all too much how hard that is to lose a fur baby. Are the kids all moved in the new house now?
Lauriet...enjoy your last day of summer break. I thought you were cutting back on subbing this year? Anyway...they know how good you are and want you when they can get you.
IC...I just picked some nice gr peppers from my garden that I think will be stuffed one night this week.
Carolyn...enjoy having your girls there for another day. I know you will surely miss them.
Still quite cool out there. If I'm gonna sit on the swing, I'll need a sweatshirt. DH is mowing the back yard...so I'll wait till he's done to go out there.

CJ, the little fireplace can have heat as much or as little heat as I want and the heat can also be shut off. Right now no heat is needed. LOL You are lucky our Fry's is highway robbery on everything.

Goodmorning grannies it's a bit cooler today brrr fall is ready to move in with those frosty mornings. Sweater mornings and T shirt afternoons! Remember how you had to dress for school. Family will all be arriving here soon and that's always a treat. It's difficult to get them together. I believe that DD#1 has given them the "talk" about my age and don't expect her to be here much longer. I know I'm on the downward slide and things are changing quickly. They are trying to get here more often and everyone is so attentive and loving! That means lots of hugs and kisses!
Laurie sounds like you are ready to start the new school year. A trip to NY should be fun for all
Mamma love that fire place! I have often wished that I had a little fireplace instead of the heater.
Greenback it was a sleepless night for me also. I move from chair to chair a few times and finally just gave up and stayed where I was. Hoop I don't fall asleep while company is here.
IC cookimg on weekends sounds like a good idea! Now most of the work is done just heatand eat!
Carolyn sorry the girl s have to leave I'm sureitw was a good time to have then with you
Must be tome fpr me tp go u[stairs the first ones should arrive soon. I'm loving the Stair Master!

I called it an early night on the pickles and all. I ran out of garlic and onions, so I started on apples. I'll call Al in a bit and then plan to go to bed earlier for a change. Supper was patty melts, the Yeti cooked after I cleaned up the mess I had made and was looking for some stuff upstairs. I could really use a few more days to try to get some of this stuff done, but it is what it is.
