Good Morning....
It's a very chilly start to the day...was in the upper 40's when I got up. Only going to low 60's today. At least the sun is shining...but there is a pretty stiff breeze.
Checking my lists and trying to get things in order and in one place so I don't forget anything tomorrow for the party. This is the stressful part...making sure I have everything. My DSIL has been a big help and is getting quite a few things we need.
I have some laundry to do this morning along with the vacuuming and swiffering. My kitties sure make a lot of dust bunnies. We brush them often but you'd think we never did...LOL
Have a great day everyone.....

Hot and sticky this morning. No relief from the 100 until the end of next week and then the evenings will be cooler as well. Mandy was in no rush this morning and mamma was very uncomfortable by the time Mandy finished her business.
Annie needs to get to work this morning and I need to do some scrubbing too. I may not do the best job but at least hit the most tracked areas. When I am not in bare feet I wont' mind the floors so much. Bare feet noticed everything. hehehehe In the winter I wear socks. I never wear shoes in the house. I have slippers for inside when the floors start to get cold. No matter where we lived we didn't wear shoes into the house.
Last night I slept pretty good considering a had a few potty breaks. But I fell right back to sleep. At 6, as I rolled over, I could smell the coffee being made so knew it was about time to get up.
Beef roast with potatoes and carrots, in the crock pot, for supper tonight. Soft cooked eggs on toast for lunch, and a tall glass of orange juice. |

Good Morning Ladies - Not much happening here yet, but once the cleaning couple come to do carpets, I'm sure I won't get here. I'm looking forward to having it done, but for today, not so much. It as nice when I could have her do it while I was on vacation and not be in the way!
Yesterday turned into a busy afternoon for me, after I got a call that a dear lady at church passed away and funeral was Tuesday. She had 8 kids and still had a great figure and always dressed so nice. I got busy on the phone and got the food and helpers for the funeral luncheon lined up. Our circle ladies furnish salads and bars/cake and the family the rest, but since this will be a large funeral, they are also furnishing half of the salad and bars also.
CJ have a wonderful party!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Well hello! I didn't know if I could get in, so I climbed over the fence. I saw a small bull moose with a rack yesterday on my way out. He was just jogging along on our road, I'll try to post a pic! It was amazing!!!!
Happy "I'm Done with the Dreaded Cucumbers" Day! Yes, this was overwhelming, a few things changed along the way, including about 30# of unplanned ones needing to be processed. Rough total-85 Quarts and three pints of dills, 19 pints of relish, 27 1/2 pints of bread and butter pickles. I made refrigerated pickles and creamy cucumbers as well as eating some raw. Aside from peeling some, there was only. about 2 cups of wasted pickles. That is for multiple families including a dozen jars for a friend. I officially hate cucumbers today. Two things of apples are in the fridge waiting as they will be in the steamer and eventually will be jelly and apple sauce. There, done with that infomercial.
Heading to town in a bit with an eventual ending of the farm for church. We'll go to the church dinner tomorrow and then I'll be back here. The first week of school went well, I look forward to actually getting into he teaching part of it vs the first part with evals and all. Seems like a nice crew, some seats will be switched, but all in all, pretty good crew. It's only to hit the high 60s here today, starting to move into sock weather, around here we say "it's not August anymore" as the Yeti said that's the only month my feet aren't cold. They dedicated the football field at the high school in my home town to a former coach/teacher, we have a display about him set up, I hope we've had visitors to see it. Better get a move on or I'll be late. MJ's birthday would've been this week and Nancy ATV's recently. I always think about them when we go to church. I wonder how Lucy and Russell are doing?
Blessed be.

60° here this morning. I dug out some
jogging pants and long sleeve, thermal shirt,
and Do they ever feel good? I made myself
a cup of coffee, hoping that would warm
me up.
My kids are on their way my grandson and
his mama. He will go back home later
this evening. She will stay with me for a
little while. He is a busy guy. He has his
own martial arts school. You can look him up.
Jimmy Fowler's Revolution . He used to
fight and is now coach. He was Sara McManns
trainer. Travels with his students and will
go to Indonesia in Dec.
They are in
Sevierville , the door to the Smokies.
They stopped at a Buc-ees.
They will be here by noon I hope.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
.
You all take care,

Happy happy. The muffins turned out very good in the new toaster oven. So I'll be keeping the oven. Since it is small it doesn't take long to heat up or cool down so it doesn't heat up the kitchen area much at all. I'm pleased.
CJ, I wish you the best birthday party for your mom. Everything will go without a hitch.
Jane, I can't imagine white carpet either. What a chore to keep it clean, even when one lives alone. I spill so that would never work for me and here in the desert, carpet is a pain in the butt to keep clean no matter the color. We had carpet in our first place, never wore shoes in the house and it still needed shampooing twice a year at least. No more carpet for me. I just pick up a throw rug and toss it in the washer. I don't even have throw rugs except in the bedroom, I'm too clumsy.
Carolyn, I'm looking forward to cooler weather but nothing below 70. We do get cold down here, in the upper 30's for lows at night at times. Way too cold for me.
Laurie and you teaching full time this year?
Scratch the eggs for brunch, I'll be cleaning up leftovers. It will be a smorgasbord.
