Oh cr*p, it's Friday the 13th.......let's see how this goes?! Today is another no-coffee for me day, trying to cut back on coffee and all of the fun that is causes. Since it's Friday we can wear jeans, although they are not strict on it, so we'll see what jumps out of the closet yelling, "pick me!" MIL, FIL, and SIL were over for dinner, he's doing ok, but needs to listen to what they tell him about moving around~~as in "you need to." Also, "elevate your feet." I was told we are going to a jr high football game and then supper at the casino, I may not go, we'll see how tired I am when I get done with my day, there are few things in that directive that I care to do. Apparently I am not great at being told what I will do, shocking.
Ok, better go see who the winner is in Clothing Roulette, have a great day, blessed be.

Good morning.
It's nice and cool but the dew point is uncomfortable. But I'm still making cookies. Maybe not as big of a batch as I had intended but baking none the less. Mandy was quick so I am able to start the cookies earlier than I thought.
After the cookies are done I'll change the sheets and wash them tomorrow. Not much else will get done today. This is all I should do in a day.

Good Morning....
Another beautiful day. DH and I went to our park in town and sat with our coffee on the swings by the river. A nice way to start the day. Herons, Egrets, Swans and Ducks were on the river. Also watched a lot of people walking their dogs on the boardwalk in front of us. It was almost like a dog parade...LOL
The humidity is a bit higher today but still bearable without a/c. The temps are still in upper 60's/low 70's.
Not sure what I'll do today. Something will come along, I'm sure.
Have a nice day.........

Good Morning Ladies - - - Had a nice day for a road trip yesterday - - I pulled into the parking lot and was changing my sunglasses and combing my hair and DD pulled in too. Perfect timing. I went a little different route as I had heard that the interstate intersection was closed to pour cement. I don't need that but I did need to cross there, so not sure if I could get through or not and if I could, would it be a hassle. So I changed my route and deceided it wasn't worth dealing with for a few extra miles. Someone asked how far it was - usually, 90 miles, but this way it was about 100, so a 2 hour drive. We met at Outback Steak House and had the soup and salad special. I was tired when I got home again at 5.
Just going to wave at everyone today - I slept a little late and I have a HC, needed very badly, this afternoon, so another day with somewhere to go - been a busy week.

A nice sunny start to the day and heading towards the upper 80's. The humidity is low so it's tolerable. Game day went well. There's leftovers that will be a temptation. I'm going to DGD/spouse for supper tonight so I think I'll be taking some of that with me. DD/spouse who usually comes on Friday's is vacationing in the Smoky Mts. I have a load of laundry going and will be putting clean sheets on the bed. I don't have a lot of cleaning to do since I did that earlier this week.
ICOOK That's a terrific price on the porkchops!! I haven't seen them that price around here for years. Menard's have the Lloyd's ribs on sale so I might be heading out there to take advantage of that sale. I love ribs.
MAMMA I should make some cookies but I don't think it will be today. That, laundry and taking care of Mandy sounds like enough for a day. Relax and enjoy!
CAROLYN I'm still waiting on a GGC! I hope they hurry up as I'm not getting any younger. LOL Stay healthy and take care.
CJ You "paint" a beautiful picture of your morning with DH. How relaxing and enjoyable. It's ok if you don't find something to do, you're retired. LOL
GREENBACK Perfect timing it was! Isn't it interesting how "things" just seem to work out? LOL I enjoy the blooming onion from Outback. Enjoy your day.

Good evening to all. It has been a cooler, cloudy day today, but no rain which we really need. It was a busy morning of walking, watering/feeding the flowers and weeding and then off to Columbia to pick up my new car. We found it last week, hadn't intended to buy yet, but got it at a used price with only 780 miles on it so we made the deal and picked it up today. Not the color I wanted, but for the price, it was a no brainer not to hold out for my color of choice. So far, I really like it and the color is growing on me.
Then, a trip to Dillard's for Clinique makeup for me and DD#1, (I may or may not have picked up yet another pair of shoes at 65% off) and then lunch on our way back to Jefferson City. Had several errands to run, including going to the local glass place to pick up a new shelf we had made for my refrigerator. I was cleaning the fridge a few days ago, took out the glass above the vegetable and fruit bins and when I put the corner of it into the water it shattered into nearly a million pieces. Glass went everywhere! The water was only mildly warm, not hot, so I don't know what happened. I just know that glass filled my garbage disposal, went all over the counters and the floor and I found tiny pieces in the kitchen for a few days afterward. Thankfully, Mike helped me clean it up as it was such a big mess. We tried to buy the shelf from a dealer and appliance repair place, but one didn't seem to be available anywhere and, if we did find it, it was going to be quite expensive, so I asked Mike about having one made. He thought that was a great idea and he went by yesterday afternoon and gave them the measurements. We picked up the new shelf, this one made out of plexiglass, today and it only cost $40. Then to the bank and grocery store and home to unload before going to the local plant nursery and trying to find the plants recommended by the guy who made a landscape plan for us back in May. We were disappointed in what they had and especially that they did not have the heavy landscape fabric we were looking for. Mike has been working hard on clearing out all the old bushes and plantings on half of the front of the house and we are going to start all over again with new plants. It had really become overgrown.
Tomorrow is a football game for Emmett in Washington, MO, and on Sunday, after church, a joint birthday party for granddaughters Amelia and Josie Mae. Amelia turned 8 on August 2 and Josie Mae turns 4 on Tuesday, September 17. Monday, we both are off, and have several things to do here at home and then Drew has his first Junior High basketball game in Iberia, MO, early evening. Then, Mike and I are both working Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and there is a basketball game or cross country meet every night except Wednesday and on Friday morning we are invited to Grandparents' Day at Josie's new church preschool. Next Saturday is the Good reunion--Mike's mother's maiden name was Good and he really wants to go because it will be the only time of year we can plan on interacting with that side of the family now that his mom has passed. Whew! I am tired thinking about the coming week which also includes the first full board meeting at my new job.
Carolyn, so sorry that you are having stomach issues in addition to your painful back.
CJ, I use the heavy duty cycle, hot water, for my towels. I sure have been getting good use out of my big clothesline. I hardly dry anything at all in the dryer this time of year.
Laurie, sounds like you are getting your class and room in order, now if you could just succeed in getting the Yeti in order, too--LOL. Hope Friday, the 13th, treated you right.
IC Cook, hope you got several pork chops at that price. I have country style pork ribs in my crockpot right now, too!
Mama, I would love to try one of your cookies!
Elle, wish I could share some of those leftovers from your game session with you. Your menu sounded wonderful!
Jane, so glad you and Darcy had a chance to visit. I love Outback Steakhouse but the closest one to us is at the Lake of the Ozarks. I used to go there every year the night before our big MO Farm Bureau annual meeting started.
Waiting on Mike to get home to serve supper. He went up the road to talk to a "neighbor" (neighbors can live several miles apart in the country) about hauling rock before the concrete work starts on our new garage/shop. I assume he was at home as he has been gone over an hour now!
Love to all, have a good weekend.
