Best Of

Hello, my friends;

I closed the door to the laundry room/bathroom last night. I opened the door and saw another wasp, so I killed it with spray. And got my last bit of laundry out of the dryer. Then I closed the door. Now I know they are in the attic. That is where this morning's wasp was.

Katie, Jasper is so cute!

Allie, Delia has the cutest teeth on the bottom. Both Miles and Delia look so innocent and precious in the other pic.

Heather, John has a lot of energy to take over with the grands.

Lanette, thank you for the post about failure. I am failing to exercise, and I need to get to it. My weight has remained relatively stable. Rose and I need to get moving.

Margaret, you are glowing and so lovely. I hope you enjoyed your tea party.

Lisa, it is so nice to get help. Sometimes we need to acknowledge our limitations. No one can do it all. Are you a perfectionist?

Terri, I love your poems.

Matchka, I hope all is well with you and that you had fun with your grands.

Rebecca, when I was a girl and up into adulthood. My neighbor said he would see me running and ducking, but he couldn't understand if I was dancing or having a psychotic attack. He couldn't see the bee that was chasing me. We had a lemon tree in front of my house. When I explained it to him later, he laughed so hard that he almost fell over. He was my best friend Zaida's brother. As for toenails, you are right. My mom's toenails are so thick that I had to take her to the foot doctor. I learned quickly to wear my eyeglasses so her toenail doesn't get in my eye.😂🤣 I love getting manicures and pedicures too. I think we deserve to treat ourselves to some pampering.

XO,

Margaret,

You are so beautiful.💖 You smile up to your eyeballs which I admire!

Im here in Detroit waiting as we have a delay because we are waiting on a pilot..so there is that..im just sitting in a wheelchair ,easier for me to get around that way

Tracey, the church is praying for him. We have been with that church since we were married but they were devastated when he moved to MS. We will see what happens. My boyfriend of many years back proposed, but he wanted me to quit nursing school and support his education. So I said it was too soon to get married . So men do want us to give up a lot for them. Education, time, money and so on. Good night Tracey.

Barbie That is one reason I try to avoid auto renewal for subscriptions if I can. I try to pay year by year I know they offer a discount for auto renewal. The few experiences I have had to get out of it did not make it worth it for me!

Hello, my dears,

A young woman named Dakota who does odd jobs locally for cash is supposed to be here on Sunday morning to talk to her about getting the remaining bits of siding off the eaves of the house and get the fascia boards replaced as necessary and then get it all painted. We have all the equipment and materials except paint but I didn't want to get that until it was going to be used. However, it's all ladder work, which I won't do anymore, and Corey simply doesn't have time to do. If she does it and does it well, I can get the gutters purchased and have her get those up there, too. Maybe. We'll see what she wants in terms of money to do the work on the eaves, whether she shows up when she says she will, and so on.

I did ask the guy that demolished the little house, but haven't seen him since I talked to him about it. I realized later that the reason he wanted most to do the little house work was not just the money for the job, but the materials he was able to recover… and used siding isn't material anyone wants. We'll see how it all works out. Would like to get it done so that Corey's not on a ladder that much, but we'll see if she's the right person for it.

Ginny - My stars, woman, that's a lot of damage to your house as well - glad you're OK even though your house took some damage. Sounds like your neighbors got it really badly!

Annie - I would have so much trouble with the emotional side of the whole thing with your dad. So much respect for your strength and pure stamina. I know that's not helpful, but I do hope your sister's visit is a nice break for you.

Time to get on with watering everything, etc., before the heat sets in. Then it's more work in the back bedroom and the usual houseworky stuff and such.

Have a grand day, my chicks, if it's still beginning or in progress, or hope it was a lovely Wednesday just finished for you…

Love from the hot, hot, hot Arkansas River Valley…

I ordered a weighted vest, ankle and wrist weights- good for strengthening bones and weight loss. Have used the vest once, need to use it again- haven't been walking since I got it. Both the xray tech and my primary doctor said it was a great idea.

❤ Edie, and all the grands! They grow up so fast.

Barbie: Likewise, I remember Haleakala when it was easy to get there for the sunrise. Went one year on Christmas Eve, and as the sun was rising a young man plunked down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. The crowd of about 50 people assembled there all broke out in a chorus of "Joy to the World". Great memory. Two years ago, I tried to take my friend to experience the sunrise, but forgetaboutit. Totally booked. We went for sunset instead and actually caught an eclipse of the moon quite by accident.

RIP Ozzy Osborne. Stay well friends. We can do this.
