Good morning all, it's a quiet one here by a foggy lake. Cross your fingers that the critters are all sleeping in when I head out. After seeing the moose on Friday morning, I saw a bear on Monday afternoon, all I saw yesterday was a turkey buzzard. I've got to gather some things for a Sept. 11th lesson with the the kids today. We seem to be getting into the routine a bit better each day and getting to where we should be in the lesson plans. Also today is our ALICE lesson, which is safety training if we were to have to go into a lockdown. After school today I'm going to run-bwhahaha it'd be a very slowwwwwww run-over to book club, as I'll miss it next month when I am at my brother's. This is the third night in a row with something after school and I look forward to being home tomorrow by 4:15. I may come back through the woods as it is at my aunt's today. The Yeti had MP duty on Monday and sent some great photos, they'll do it again in two weeks. His sister got here from Florida last night and is here for a month. She'll stay at his folks', I hope this will give him a bit of a break and he'll get to do some of "his stuff" that has been on hold. Better get dressed, the dishwasher has been unloaded, partially reloaded, the miscellaneous stuff that doesn't go in there is washed and in the drain rack and the dryer is going to buzz soon. I'm tired and I'm still not dressed to be out of the house, such is life by the lake with the choices I made. Blessed be.

I have to call my dentist this morning when Christina gets here to see if he can squeeze me in to put that crown back on. I'm so disgusted with my teeth.
Sun is out today so going to be a nice day.

Good Morning Ladies - - - Another nice morning, with sunshine and 66 at the moment and also high pollen!!!
It was a nice funeral with a big crowd for someone almost 95. You would never have know that though! I guess with 8 kids you expect a good crowd. I went to find my bowl before I went home after the luncheon and couldn't find it - someone finally looked in the frig, and there it was - they forgot to take it out and serve it. funny part was that they were almost out of salad. I said to put it in something else and send it with the leftover hot dish for the family.
Today I have a dental appt. in the town I graduated from - - It's a 40-45 min. drive, and a nice day for a ride. I am just expecting a cleaning and check, so shouldn't be bad.
Laurie, what a picture you paint of your rides here and there - - - Always something to see on the road and as long as you and they do not hit head on, I guess all is well and fun to see! Another busy week for you!
IC, sorry about your newest dental issue! It seems to be one thing after another.
Tomorrow, I plan to meet DD in Rochester for lunch and a visit. I may or may not get here before I leave.

Good morning.
No bears or moose here but there are often bobcats and always snakes. Yesterday a gecko crossed or ran rather in front of the golf cart then stopped to look at us. He or she was at least 8 to 12 inches long. The largest one I've seen in the park in a long time. I love those bug eating little guys. The babies that were under my house have not been seen for quite some time. So I imagine they are all grown and moved on like all "kids" do. I do miss them scurrying around here. To me they are so cute.
This morning we went to the big pet area and visited with Mary and Emily. Emily gets so happy to see someone. Mandy is quite indifferent at times. She likes to run and Emily does not. Emily is a licker and Mandy will not allow that and neither do I. If you let her, Emily will lick and lick non stop. She and her brother would get each other sopping wet. Yuck! Mary just let them. And they tried to do the same to people as well. Once Mandy was done this morning she was ready to go home and I was ready to finish my cup of coffee.
Some floor cleaning has to get done today. I talk about getting Annie out and then I get side tracked and she stays sleeping. The floors need a real scrubbing as well, but not sure my arms will take to all the floors. I may just get the living room and kitchen areas done. When it comes to cleaning I'm happy my home is small. But that is the only time. hehehe
Not as humid today but hot this afternoon. I'm not going anywhere so it really doesn't matter as long as I have ac in the house. 
Grammy, prayers for you.
IC, good luck with your crown. I have an old one that has come loose. Seems everything on me is old. hehehe
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good Afternoon....
I had a early appointment...so didn't get here then. Had some things to do when I got home...so now I'm here while eating lunch.
It's a beautiful day but a bit warmer and more humidity. It won't last long. The evenings cool off nicely now.
There is road work going on, on the main road outside our sub. The street was really bumpy...soon it will be nice and smooth again. I'm only two houses from the corner, so it's really noisy as they break up the old concrete and the dump truck is parked right in front of my house to dump it all in.
I plan to do a load of laundry after lunch. DH is planning to go to Salvation Army to drop off a couple bags of things. I don't think I'll go along as he'll want to look around the store and I don't want to. I didn't sleep that well last night...so maybe a nap will happen later.
Greenback...enjoy your lunch with DD. How long does it take you to get to where you will meet?
Icook...hope the dentist can get you in. Seems like they wouldn't be charging so much with all the work you are having done...there should be a discount.
Lauriet...you have all the wild life around you. Sounds like a very pretty place you live.
Mamma...I don't care to see any snakes. I would think the geckos are cute.
Debbie...what cycle do you use on your washer for towels or do you customize the cycle? I'm still trying to figure out the best ones to use for different loads.
Have a great day everyone....

Christina left a short while ago We ran a few errands. A stop at the bank, drug store for meds. & had to fax Tinker's claim on her last visit to the vet. I called the vets. office to do it, but it never happened so we had to do it. Only cost $2. Christina gave Tinker a bath, ran the sweeper & washed my curtain in the bedroom Friday when she comes a trip to Shop Rite Pork chops are on sale for 99 cents a lb. That's no mistake That is the price in the flyer Can't beat that.
Called the dentist Can't get in till October 2 Hope nothing else goes wrong till then.

My feet are happy to be walking on clean floors. Annie and I got the floors nice and clean, and I washed the big rug in the living room along with Mandy's blankies. She was not happy when they were not in her beds. But seemed quite happy when the one came back clean in the bed she was lying. Yes, she has three beds, one in here, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. And in the cooler seasons she has on for the porch as well. Spoiled? Nah, just pampered and loved. After that was all done I called to get in to the dentist at the later part of the month. Karen wants to go with but it's more fun going with Lynda. At least when Karen goes, she drives. I don't like driving on the highway. Karen wants to get new glasses. I should too as long as I am there, but may have to wait until next year now. Too much money going out this month.
Breezy and 101º with bright sunshine and a very low dew point. The rug hanging outside won't take long to dry today.
Carolyn. (((HUGS)))
Jane, I'm sure the family appreciates the dessert/salad that you made.
IC, so sorry you have to wait so long to see the dentist.

Just got back home from the eye Dr visit. One drop was on hold now use it again. That's three times each day to use eyedrops. Not the fun time of life! Too many meds to remember to take or use at the right time. The joys of getting old!
Nothing too exciting happening here today other than 3 goats and 1 sheep went to an auction and that's where the rest should go. DGD wants these thing but just doesn't have time to take care pf them other people are doing that work instead of her not my problem so I keep quiet.
Laurie how exciting to live in an area where you can get and occasional peek at some of he different wildlife! in their natural habitat. Hope it's a good day at school for you.
Ic hope the dentist was able to help you
Greenback what a disappointment to find your salad still there. But sounds like someone will enjoy it even more
Mama wish I could get warm it's 86 today and I"m still in sweats!
