Woo Hoo, It's Friday!!! I see it's only to get to 66* today, jeans it is! Also, it is a whopping 46* out right now. The Yeti is going to do his medi-van run today to take his dad to dialysis and then back to his parents' as someone is coming to look at their shower. They have a small 3x3 or so walk in that is not very easily accessible and has a swinging glass door and then a big jetted tub next to it that never gets used. If it were me, I'd put in a bigger walk in tiled shower that's easier to clean and walker accessible. They do have a tub in the other bathroom so that monstrosity could go away, takes an acrobat to get in and out of it. Their bathroom is bigger, but the use of space is kind of odd. It's the contractor that worked on our house and I gave him a few questions to ask about, we are having flooring issues yet, there has got to be a warranty on it. I'm making relish tonight with the last of the cukes and if I don't see one of those wacky fruit that people think is a veggie for a lonnnnngggggg time, I'll be happy. There were some lids that buckled this year. Too old? Jars too full? Rings too tight? They are pickles and are sealed, so I put them in the basement fridge and they'll be just fine. Good way to clear out what I have and get a count so I can restock for another time. I think I need to find a new hobby as I am talking cucumbers and bathroom remodel on a Friday morning! We have a "back to school" assembly this afternoon, a good way to end the day. I should go find some clothes as I need to put the recycling in the Jeep, there is a sorted drop off near the school. They took t he unsorted one away here in the village. There were concerns that people would think it was just a garbage drop off, I hope that wasn't it. My great niece's birthday was yesterday, she is the one who had the accident a few years ago, all is well with her, she's a keeper. Blessed be everyone! Happy Friday, blessed be.

58° here this morning. I open the door and closed it back quickly. :-)
I took a nap yesterday afternoon then I went to bed fairly early. Slept pretty good.
My grandson and my daughter are coming tomorrow. I'm excited for them to come. He is coming to finish staining my back porch. She is planning to stay with me for a little while and go with me to the doctor so that will be good.
I'm having such a hard time getting up and down and around, but I am still trying to do whatever.
You all have a wonderful day and I will talk later🦋

Good Morning....
It's a rainy looking day although we aren't to get anymore rain. It rained yesterday afternoon and again around 4am.
Today is my mom's 90th birthday. I'll be doing some running around to pick up a few more things for the party on Sunday.
It's also my DS#1 and daughter in law's 17th anniversary. Too bad they have to spend it apart. She is still in Argentina. Will be back sometime later this month.
It was fun having Teddy all to myself yesterday. He's the sweetest. Got to see Penny when we took Teddy home. She ran up to me and gave me a big hug. She's liking school.
Have a great day everyone............

Good morning
Out and back quickly this morning. Hot and sticky so I was happy to get home. It is also cloudy this morning too,  .Mary and Emily were there and Emily was so happy to see me. Such a cutie.
Today I have to go to Fry's and get milk. I'm almost out and it's on sale, plus their milk doesn't spoil as quickly as the milk from WM. They also have chuck roast on sale so I'll grab one and cut it into meal portions for one. There is a load of dark clothes in the washer and most will get hung up on the porch lines.
At lunch I'll see how the new toaster oven will work for me. I turned it on yesterday to see if the cord got hot and it did not. That was a relief. If it works well for what I need, I'll keep it, if not, back it goes.

Good Morning Ladies - - - A nice start to the day here today - - - Sunshine is always welcome. I am in s bit of a mess here now - they came and moved some things and vacuumed and spotted some of the carpet that showed extra wear and traffic and spots. I miss having things in their usual place but will get along until this is done and I have been wanting it done for awhile now. Why would anyone put in white carpet is beyond my thinking.
I put in a grocery order last night to pick up later this morning and they had all the goodies on sale for taco salad, so I will be cooking up some meat for that later. We can have that for lunch or order pizza, which ever they would prefer tomorrow.
Otherwise, not much for news here today.
Laurie, YAh, first week down, and all is well! I'm sure you are ready to have a fond farewell with the pickles!
Carolyn, so glad your Dd will be going to the Dr. with you. Enjoy your company.
IC, enjoy your rime with Christina.
CJ, how fun to have Teddy one on one! Happy Birthday to your DM and may your party go off perfectly! ENJOY!

Good TGIF morning to all. It is a very nice morning here after a hot day yesterday. I only had to work Tuesday and Wednesday of this week so that was nice. First board meeting is coming up in two weeks and next week and the week after will be more hours so no problem. Yesterday, we went to a bank travel club meeting for next year's trips and we ended up signing up for two! One is next June and the other is next July. These had been added since the brochure announcing the meeting came out and were a nice surprise. The one in June is to Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine and the one in July is to Montana. Each about a week each. Both sounded like great trips and both locations should be cooler in June and July than it will be here in Missouri. There were others we were tempted about, but I had my next year's schedule of board and committee meetings for the new job and some conflicts with dates made those a "no" for us. There is one to an island off the coast of Portugal that I am still tempted about, but I suppose two trips will be enough for us. We felt like we certainly got our money's worth on the Ireland trip and are looking forward to more travels with this company. In 2026, there are two options available for France that, Lord willing, I want to book and finally meet my long-time pen pal in person.
Laurie, I am canning tomatoes this morning and I have had a wrinkled lid or two in the salsa and spaghetti sauce I have already canned. I don't like the steel lids that I got at our Mennonite store; I was wondering if that might be the cause. Otherwise, I am as stumped as you on the cause. Mike and I usually fill the jars and put in the canner together and he is very meticulous about how full I get them, wiping off the inside and outside rims, etc., so I don't think it is anything we are doing.
Jane, are you having company tomorrow? Taco salad sounds so good!
CJ, happy birthday to your momma! I know the party you have planned will be so special for her. Also, happy birthday to your son and DIL. Such a cute couple!
Carolyn, I had an injection in my back before and it helped quite a bit. I encourage you to try it.
Good morning, IC Cook and Mama!
This afternoon I go back for a recheck on my hearing. I have two more days of tapering off steroids. I sure haven't had any arthritis pain since I've been on those for the last two weeks! I will miss being pain free! Not sure my hearing is any better, but we shall see. Got some errands to do while we are in Columbia, so working hard to get tomatoes canned and out of the canner before we go. One batch of 7 quarts is ready to come out now, so I will wave and wish everyone a great day!

Good afternoon, it's a cool, fall feeling kind of day. I love it. The house is opened up and there's a wonderful breeze coming. I have laundry and cleaning done. At least as much as I plan to do today. I'll finish up tomorrow. I have card/game day here next week so I'm trying to get the menu ready so I know what I need to get at the grocery store. I hope to do that tomorrow too. The kids are coming tonight. DSIL has tables that will be used for the RTE. 127 sale and he'll put them in my shed. Other than that it's pretty much the life of a retiree!! LOL
CAROLYN It's always good to have someone with us when we have Dr. appointments. I'm thankful for my RN daughter. She definitely helps me.
ICOOK Any errands to run with Christina? I hope she is feeling well now.
CJ Is the birthday party a surprise for your mother? How do you plan to get her to your house if it is a surprise. I'm sure she will feel so happy about family and friends being together.
MAMMA Is lunch over? How did the toaster oven work? What did you have for lunch?
GREENBACK I agree with you, I like things in their place. But it will be so nice when it's clean again. I also have a very light color carpet in my family room and I love it, but it definitely shows dirt/shadows. I'm not sure I would go this light again but it's what I wanted and I'm the only one who lives here.
DEBBIE I hope the hearing appointment goes well. I think I'm in denial. I can hear, but voices can be mumbled and the tv volume control seems to be higher than normal. It's something I don't want to need but I want to hear so it might not be an alternative. My dad wore them.

Elle....the party is not a surprise, but she doesn't know who all will be there or any details. It is going to be at the club house where she lives. My DSIL and I will decorate and get things ready Sunday morning. The party is at 1.
Got my shopping done but still need to stop at Walmart for a couple things. Maybe tonight after supper. Tomorrow I'll pick up the cake in the afternoon. I do have room for it in my fridge, although my DSIL is on stand-by incase for some reason it doesn't fit. I've been cleaning out the fridge and getting rid of things that don't need to be in there anymore....so there is plenty of room.

CJ There's always a lot of things to do getting ready for a party but to see the smile on the celebrated one and the family and friends together make it worth the time and effort.

The toaster oven did well on the little pizza. But I wasn't hungry for it so didn't eat much. Tomorrow I'll see how it does on cupcakes and if works well I'll keep it. If not it will go back. Air fryers just don't bake and it's really really hard to find a toaster over that isn't an air fryer too. And I have very limited space.
I just made one card today. My shoulders aren’t doing so well. This last injection isn’t working as well as I hoped. Next step will be a specialist to see if a less invasive surgery is possible. I will not go to a rehab place for any length of time. I can take care of myself or I won’t have any surgery. But I’m not going to worry about that yet. I may just live with it as it is. My dental work needs to get done first and foremost and then the stupid French door has got to be replaced. When it gets cooler I’ll have Oscar come and give me an estimate.
No appetite so it may be cold cereal for supper and fruit for dessert. Tomorrow I’ll put a piece of beef roast in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots for supper. At least I’ll have one decent meal this week. Hehehe I'll share some carrots with Mandy. She loves carrots, actually she loves veggies period.
Have a pleasant evening everyone.
