Jackie...........
So cute!!
Happy Tuesday!
We are heading for a heat wave with temps going into the high 90's with a heat index of 110. I am glad my son isn't here this week as he and his wife do not like the heat!! Being from Portland I am sure Patsy understands. I will probably go to the pool today since rain is predicted for tomorrow and that will be a good day to have my oil changed on my car. I am also going to go to bingo tomorrow to spend time with my friends. Babe called with more drama, it seems his daughter has hurt her back so she delayed her trip home until Thursday. They are going to the ER to see if they can get some relief. Babe also is complaining of severe pain in his neck, so they are both miserable. Let's just say, I am glad I am here and they are there.
Patsy, I again apologize for being rude and certainly didn't mean to make you explain yourself to us. I am sorry your birthday was not pleasant but glad you are doing well. How about?

Jackie, love the dog pictures, they are so cute!!
Sandy - Our temperatures here are getting warmer as the days go by this week too.
Marie - Your flowers look lovely and Happy 60th Anniversary, sorry you have to spend it in rehab but that is the best place for you now.
Well back to normal eating this week and exercise. I have already watered all the plants and dug up the weeds. I finished the laundry but still have to put it away. Now cleaning the kitchen and bathroom.
Kristina and John are coming this weekend for a visit so I have to do some cleaning, I haven't been home much lately.

Oh Marie, what lovely flowers from Jerry. Keep on getting better and stronger each day.
Jackie, adorable photo. What more can I say! I was listening to BBC for a while today. Political discord. Problems forming a government under new leadership? And another shooting??? I cannot believe it. I have always had the impression you have virtually no shootings. Hummmm.
Sandy, love the photo with your friend. Very nice of you to spend time with him. Enjoy bingo!!
Phoebe, I have a set of bids for replacing my fence, just like what I have, a different pattern than what I have now, PVC fencing, and it's that correspond to moving the fence over 15' which is now allowed in this suburb. Haven't made any decision. He said they could try to patch it up and I could get a few more years out of it but if we get a heavy wind storm it is more and more likely to go down due to the deterioration. I will think about it.
Meanwhile, the car has a check engine light AGAIN. It goes in on Friday. They will not charge for the diagnostics IF the code is identical to the last one. So we will see. Another day at the dealership. I am thinking of having the code reset and just drive with it on until next year when I get farm rent again.
It is time to go to the library. But it has been doing this pretty much all day and we have flash flood warnings. Take care everyone.

Oh Sandy! You did it! You sent me a link to one of my favorite movies/stories ever! I love Alice in wonderland! Disney and the Johnny Depp version as well. Thank you! You all are wonderful, funny, sweet people. I am deciding if I will follow the doctor's advice and have the heart stress test. He wants to do the chemical stress test that pushes your heart rate with chemicals to a very high rate to test for damage. I have read very bad things about this and even cardiac arrest days later. My trust in this is low and unrest and fear is high! Yet this is my doctor. Obviously not one I feel good about. Something to think about.
Rain and wind, wind and rain with heat and sun and high humidity following fog and snow with more of the same! We must live on planet earth.
As a show of solidarity, Katie peed on the dinning room carpet right in front of me. (?) I guess she felt my emotional state these days.

Loved the video!!! Patsy, please share with us what you feel comfortable talking about but whatever is off limits, that's fine too. Wishing you well.
WIP tonight
Need some sleep but coloring is FUN!!

Hello everyone! Beautiful flowers MARIE for a beautiful lady!
We've walked the woods and I'm now home sorting emails.... one from a distant relative who must have found my brother on facebook because I'm not, he sent her on to me as she's doing family tree research. A huge tree does exist but it's difficult to view on the laptop so I've just sent her immediate family going back a couple of hundred years for now! Then a Paypal email, or is it?? Wanting me to click a link and no doubt give information so I've sent that on to Paypal's spoof email address to check it out because sadly I don't trust any of this messages anymore. After all that I clicked on Sandy's unbirthday video for PATSY, had a giggle and you tube then sent me on to this!! Thank goodness it's a happy ending!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-6nSe_BIzk
Our heat has abated after I was out at 10 pm last night watering all my tubs and window boxes that were beginning to suffer. We've just had about 2 minutes of rain that might put a couple of drips into my water butt, not much help really!
Oh dear SANDY, I'm so pleased you're out of all that negativity although I'm sure you won't want Babe to be suffering. Enjoy the pool today if that's your plan.
LIN, shootings are rare here which is why it hits the news. A terrible family tragedy by the sounds of it although why some men take that route I'll never understand! I think our government is settling into its new role now and did have to giggle at poor John Kerry doing his best to support Boris Johnson who has written a lot of home truths about most world leaders in the past and won't be apologizing any time soon! It's being said our new Prime Minister must have a sense of humour to make him Foreign Secretary and I think he's on his way to the US today so watch out!!
Housework today so I'll crack on.

Good morning everyone.
Heading for 96 degrees this morning. I plan to go to Tai Chi and then back home for a webinar from the Farm Extension Service.
All the roads are open again. Some major roads were closed yesterday afternoon in the flash flooding. I need to dump water out of the saucers under the pots on my deck! Not enough water or too much.
Jackie, okay, I cried while watching the video even though you'd said it had a happy ending. What a darling little dog. My friend has posted a number of pictures of her new adopted doggie. Another darling little guy.
Please Jackie, we have such a bunch of crazy po,iticians that we likely not notice anyone who is visiting. And John Kerry seems to struggle with many things so just another day in his world. Haaaaa.
Time to get moving.
Hugs.
Lin2 -
Good Morning All,
Lin - that is gorgeous!!!!
I've been enjoying all the posts. Love the dogs, the coloring And glad Marie is doing good. Buzz, how is everything with you? Jackie, what about George?
We are off soon to take 2 grandkids fishing. It is Sam's first time, he is 6, so it Ed is just taking Sam and Zach who is 13. I'm coming along to take pictures. Should be a fun day.
This is Sam holding Maggie about 2 hrs after her birth for the very first time. The sweet little girl in the background is Sarah with an older sister Heather.
Must run.

Happy Wednesday!! Doesn't look like rain after all so not sure what my plans will be before bingo. Another day at the pool or I could go get the oil changed on my car and get a manicure after I am done. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Jeri, your new granddaughter is just beautiful!! How is your daughter doing? I bet those boys love fishing with grandpa, what great memories.
Jackie, like Lynn, I started welling up and such a sad but happy ending story.
Linn, another beautiful coloring, you are very talented.
Marie and Jerry, happy belated anniversary!!
Have a wonderful day!
Sandy

Sometimes I think that in the whole evolutionary process, I ended up with a larger than average amount of canine DNA. I am happiest when I have my canine pack member close at hand. Jackie's dog rescue video almost upended me. There are moments in that video that I cannot get out of my head. Also Lin's calico puppy coloring was stunning. It was our sweet Katie...no question!
I will finish my usual romancing about dogs with this thought, I have really never met a dog that I didn't like. Some have had better breaks in life, so they are better adjusted but we can't blame them for their bad breaks in life.
Since my birthday I have been trying to re-evaluate my habits and I have decided I am happiest when I have a massive creative project in the works. So to that end, I say...if not now, then when? I am feeling okay. I am going to find a different Doctor. I need to have confidence in my medical advisors.
Jeri, you are one lucky lady to have so many beautiful grandchildren! It is like you won the family lottery!
Marie, congratulations on your 60th wedding anniversary! It is a lovely thing to have been married that long to your best friend and sweetheart.
To all you mid-westerners...we hear you are under that heat dome! Please be careful! Do what ever you can to stay safe and cool.

Another 2weeks in rehab , marie

Another 2weeks in rehab , marie
Marie, do you believe it's helping you? If yes, then take the opportunity and get what you can from it. So much ache and pain can be eased with a little more movement every day.
If you don't think it's helping, please tell them. They might make changes.
I am amazed at how much better my aunt is since she began rehab. Nothing will bring her memory back but she gets up and around without a walker.
Time for a nap. Heading home for two whole days.
Jackie, sorry, even with a happy ending, i can't watch the video. I've never seen most animal movies. (Think back to E.T.-I cried like a baby, E.T. and I have so much in common, 'Home')
Phoebe1 -
PHOEBE, me too, after reading the comments I decided not to watch the video, and we have something else in common I also never watch animal movies. Actually I can't watch nature programmes either if they involve antelope etc being chased by lionesses etc and pounced on.

Hi y'all. I think the lateat problems are not my computer but changes being made by my server!. WiFi keeps disappearing and I'm offline again and again! Keep your posts coming; they are wonderful! Buzz 1

If it helps at all BUZZ, I keep getting messages that read "we are unable to connect to your server". I got a lot yesterday.
Well we are starting yet another heatwave today, I'm sure I heard the newscaster mutter something about 40 deg for one day, say it's not so!
Jilly and I were out at six am (she being a very good little dog from my point of view) and we are just going out again for my morning cup of tea while it's still "cool", what I would have called a hot summer day in my England past!
JERI, beautiful brand new baby, what a most attractive bunch of little kids!
MARIE, happy 60th for you and your sweetie. You'll soon be back together again.
Anne, consumer of copious cups of tea and puppy trainer.

Help i lost my log in days.. Must have happen shen i lost so many postdo angone know dow to resert them. I been to gym and walk all the way back to my room , a total of 81 sieps, So proud of me.and feeling so great
See you latelove Marie2 -
Sorry Marie, I don't know about the login things. Maybe Sandy can tell you.
Hi all, got to get a shower then get to it! Two days is all we have and this one is slipping thru my fingers. Spent an hour on the phone with mail order Pharmacy and hope they keep their promise. They ship Jim's refrigerated medication while we were gone, UPS delivered it, set it in full sun on the driveway, not on the porch. It had a temp tracker and showed overheated. They said they are reshipping overnight today. Plus the container was opened.
Enough complaints!
I'm supposed to get Honeys stitches out but will wait until tomorrow.
It's a hot one here, but great for hanging wash on the line. Quilts etc. Not enough line for all our washing.
Anne, I don't watch the 'nature' programs either. It's hard for me to love animals and accept God's creating the food chain. I wish we could have all been made vegetarian! And yet, I am not one myself. So I try not to dwell on it, I only get confused.
Be safe today
Phoebe

Marie , so happy to hear you are doing much better.
Jackie - I saw the video and cried and cried, I am glad he had a happy ending and I hope a good family will adopt him.
Anne - Tempertures here will be hot all week too, 91F today, tired of these hot days.
Sandy - Good luck with the meeting today. Enjoy the pool.
Jeri - You have such lovely grandchildren, enjoy your fishing day.
Buzz - Hope you can get on to us soon and try to keep up when you can.
Lin - You seem to be getting all the rain that we need so badly. The dog picture looks great!
Patsy - Sorry about your health issues and good luck with finding a new doctor to help you with your heart condition. Those tests sound a little scary, I don't blame you for getting another opinion.
Phoebe - Safe travels home!
Last night we went to the boat and enjoyed a rib dinner with some friends. Our next sailing cruise
is coming up at the end of this month.
Dave and I got a bike ride in this morning before it got too hot. I have a dentist apt. this afternoon and
getting a trim on my bangs at the hairdresser. My next apt. isn't until Aug 8th so that a ways a way.

DARN! Another lost post! I wrote about almost stopping my housekeeper today due to panic about not getting my papers and other mess sorted, but my DD talke me out of it, and now that the place looks and smells clean again, I'm glad Liz came!
We had an Art Show/French Cocktail hour last night and I found the courage to exhibit a sterling sugar and creamer set I had made years ago. I'll try to insert it, as one of the visitors snapped a photo with her I-Phone.
Anyway, I must bring Mike fresh laundry upstairs, or he will appear at dinner tonight in dirty old jeans!
I know I sound out of things, but I really read all your posts hungrily and always plan to get back with comments, but where do I go wrong? Buzz

Buzz--that is beautiful work!!!!!
Thank you for posting the picture. So many here are artists!!!!
Back to making soup. Yes, I know, heat warnings and I am still making soup.
Hugs.
Lin1 -
Wow, beautiful work BUZZ.
It's very hot here, I'm fair skinned and daren't venture out for too long or I'll look like a lobster. It's supposed to remain this way for over a week with tomorrow being the worst! I promise, I really promise I will not complain this coming winter! I'm actually looking forward to sweaters and boots and cute hats and scarves. I'm looking forward to buying the Bean a woolly coat. I think she'll need it when we crunch through the snow. My grass looks like a mown hay field despite watering and the poor flowers are drooping. Many birds are visiting the bird bath. Summertime when the living is easy!
Will your soup be cold summer soup LIN?
