Thrilled to bits to read all the authors names! Just what I needed. Thank you for the info!
Can't linger because I have to prepare potato salad etc for lunch. Family over.

Getting some author hints from others can be dangerous. A friend recommended the Wind River Mysteries by Margaret Coel. I thought ok, I will try one. I was able to get the book from the library and one led to another until I had finished the series, all 20 books. 🙃🙃. Then I was sad because there are no more.
There are handfuls of cozy authors that I am sad when I cannot get my hands on a newest book in a series but I cannot purchase them all and apparently neither can the library.
Well, church day and then I have three different people to meet this afternoon to sells bits and bobs. I met a couple last night to sell a couple of Mikasa glass trays. She had purchased something from me early in July so at least I knew who I was meeting. Nice.
Rain expected this evening and we had a shower yesterday morning. Keeping the grass growing and avoiding the brownouts that happen in a dry summer and much happier flowers.
Oh, and as I left last evening I saw my neighbor out shuffling along on a walker with his wife by his side. I do not know what happened. I was shocked. Last time I saw him about a week or two ago, he was out in his hiking gear, walking his dog. Then he was unloading wood from his pickup truck. Very very active guy. I do not see him daily, he likes to leave to go camping in his huge trailer and he and the dog will be away from home for a week at a time.
Jeri, I will have to look up the author you mentioned. We will all have new reading lists. Have you read both the Agatha and Hamish books by M.C. Beaton? I have and have watched the TV shows based on both book series. I prefer the books!
Time to make a cup of coffee.
Hugs all.

Happy Sunday! I also am going to church this morning but wanted to stop by and say hi.
The Renaissance Fair was wonderful but too hot so I drove Lisa's mom home because we were both too hot. I will bore you with some more pictures of the kiddos. Robby turns 5 today so he got a new pirates costume at the fair, I bought the swords and hat. Enjoy.
Have a great Sunday.

Another beautiful day so enjoyed my walk with the pooches in the woods and gradually am finding a steep climb to my favourite area is getting easier each morning. My neighbour suggested we pop to the allotment for a couple of hours weeding so we spent a lovely time chatting and pulling weeds at the same time. Lunch in the cool of the cottage and am now contemplating getting out the lawn mower to see if I can slowly push it round to at least make the garden look tidy. Rain forecast tomorrow so it needs to be done now... well after a cup of tea!
Lovely photos Sandy. Those kiddies are growing up too fast!
So many authors to investigate. Well done ladies!
Happy Sunday everyone 😍

Its very hot so mom popped me in the kitchen sink for a bath, here I am still wet. She said the water was very dirty. Jilly Bean.2 -
Good afternoon sneakers! Hope this post doesn’t fly away like my other two attempts. Drat! Anyway we have a hot day today. We had a bit of a early morning event here. John fell on his knees and elbow early this morning. He landed on hard ceramic tile in the bathroom. No appearant damage...bruised knees, elbows and shoulder. I heard a huge thud and a lot of cursing from the bathroom very early, about 4:00 and we were all up for the day after that. Falls are so scary and it does cause a ding in one’s self confidence. I see John kind of creaping around. I think he is pretty sore.
We have an owl that has taken up our deck railing as his resting and observation post. Katie has a fit over that, barking endlessly and the owl just calmly sit there. There must be nests and baby birds nearby. What? This owl has a mission and is unperturbed by a noisy yellow dog.
Lovely photos Sandy and Anne. Each of you with your special babies. My special baby is waiting for hand outs in the kitchen. She does love all her toys and balls.

Katie is waiting for a treat from John. She loves all her toys...the bigger the better.

I looked it up on Goodreads. Do you use Goodreads? Sounds good. Have you read the Tony Hillerman books? Some of my favorites.

I cannot get over how SANDY's gorgeous Grandkids have grown! Beautiful Bunch, just like Nana!
nd is Jilly Bean trying on a ferocious look? It doesn't work!!! She's a rel cutie, too.
PATSY, so sorry about John's fall; any idea what happened and how to avoid another one? M y balance PT stars tomorrow, I was told. I'm shocked at how much my calf muscles had deteriorated! And my eyes are not behaving as they keep fogging over every few minutes! I'm beginning to feel if it's not one thing it's another! But then there was another huge update on Windows 10, and that always screws up a bunch until Microsoft decides to change a lot of the new stuff!

Jeri, I don’t use Goodreads. I just check out new books, get suggestions from friends and the book club. The book club has a social every few months and we discuss books we’ve read that we would recommend. I get some ideas. I have not read the Hillerman books. I will have to try those out as well. Thanks.
I saw that photo on Facebook today Sandy.
And I love the photos you posted. The boys are lovely scoundrels. So incredibly cute.
Hugs.

Re: the Bean. I think it's more a "help, what just happened to me!!!!!!" look BUZZ. She hasn't a clue how to be ferocious. Also she makes little grumbly and yippy noises in her throat whilst staring intently at us and Mike and I know she's doing her best to "human" talk. In fact we think SHE thinks she's a furry human.
Please thank Diane for me SANDY. So thoughtful of her to think of me! How's she doing these days? I can well understand how proud you are of the children. I'd show them off as well if they were mine! Meanwhile, you are all stuck with my furry little friend!
I sympathize with poor John PATSY as one who's black eyes from the glasses sticking in them when I hit the pavement have just healed in time to visit the doctor. Have to visit him today for paperwork proving I'm as healthy as a twenty year old. The only thing one can say about old age is, it's interesting! I'm amazed today how I once hiked and ran up hillsides without a thought of tripping up. Never thought I'd shuffle along peering anxiously at sidewalks with potential cracks and pot holes.
Have a lovely day friends, Sandy, Buzz, Patsy, Lin, Jeri, Jackie, Diane and Marie and anyone else who pops by.
Anne, the decrepit one!1 -
Happy Monday!!
Calling for rain but Lisa seems to think it will clear up and wants to go to a waterpark. Secretly I am hoping for rain because I really don't feel like going today. I am sitting tomorrow so I could use the day of rest. lol
Anne, Jilly is so darn cute wet or not. Ewok is a boot camp for a week learning how to socialize and behave. Sure hope it works, I am a firm believer in puppy classes.
All the book and author suggestions are great for most of you, me however not so much. I am not really a reader even though I was when I was young.
I hope everyone enjoys their Monday and each day.

Happy Monday everyone. Finally some rain for my garden although so far not as much as some parts of the UK. It was dry for the morning walk then when I got home I set to vacuuming the car seats before fitting new covers because George and Betty are always leaving a mess picked up from the trails we walk. I dont seem to have achieved much since but am about to head for the kitchen to do some cleaning and tidying.
Patsy, what a cute picture of Katie's rear and I can see she's intent on waiting for something delicious! John's fall sounded scary and painful and it's awful how these accidents take place in an instant for no apparent reason.
Jilly looks excited about her bath Anne and I expect a rub down with a towel would have been heaven too. That's George's favourite part of his showers!
Sandy, should I hope it rained on you too so the water park is out? Poor Ewok! Boot camp doesn't sound fun but I have sometimes thought Betty could still do with some serious training. I think the house training is finally there although don't trust her completely but she refuses to sit, lie down or give her paw for a treat. She does understand a stern NO when necessary though which is a start! Here she is pretending she's Queen Elizabeth, not Betty!!
Buzz, I sympathise with your calf muscle weakness as I know how quickly my thighs have lost strength because I've had to sit about more than I would normally. Walking the dogs is helping a bit and having stairs to climb so I'm hoping when I dust off my exercise bike in a week ir two I'll feel the benefits. Have you got dry eye syndrome that can blur vision? I've had to use drops to help my dry eyes.
Goodness, rain cleared already and the sun is back out but the kitchen is more a priority than outside so I'd better get on.
Jackie2 -
Yes, Lisa said the weather looks to iffy to go to waterpark. 0

Love Queen Betty and the Katie rear view,!!
I'm sat here in recovery mode. Doctor visits always give me the nervous nellies. Not so much this time! The new doctor is a gorgeous fiftyish New Zealander with the bluest of blue eyes and the best of bedside manners. He asked me if I was from Yorkshire at which point I was completely smitten..
The outcome of this encounter of course found me at the clinic down the road having needles stuck in me and a heart test. Depending on the outcome I could be in for further tests and the private cataract surgery is now no longer in the picture, cancelled, and I get to keep my $3000. I am now booked for consultation with the OHIP surgeon for December 17th but may have to cancel that because the blue eyed one wants to really check out my eye which was blinded for a while (and still has a blind spot) with broken vein blood from the pills given me by my previous doctor. One thing I've learned from this, trust your instincts because I was really nervous about having cataract surgery and all because of that awful experience and here's this doctor saying I may NOT be able to have it at all. The new glasses are working just fine anyway, so sit back Annie and take a deep breath.
I apologize for being such a drama queen. The nurse at the clinic gave me a smile though. I'm sure you know you have to strip to the waist for the heart test. Well the man previous to me was told this but when the nurse removed his blanket she was shocked to find him completely in his birthday suit. The poor receptionist was limping as well. Some woman in the parking lot drove her car wheel over her foot, but rapidly drove off before the receptionist could do anything except yelp. I tell you I've missed all this drama avoiding doctors!
Well, time for my half grapefruit afternoon break. I'll be sure to post my test results in 2-3 days, lol.

Life does get complicated as we age. There are high clouds right now and it is nice and cool. John will be determined to work on the deck repair. We have a different view of how to deal with it. I would call a carpenter to do the repair. John does not see that as a real option.
The house is in need of cleaning so I will be working inside while John works outside. That is good strategy. We will not get in each other’s way.
Our Musician friend is failing these days. His mind seems to be working less and less. His wife is hysterical wanting her husband “back again.” Sadly, we are thinking that will be happening only rarely from now on. We hope we are wrong but we see big changes each time we see him. Doctors call this the long goodbye.
But moving on to more uplifting topics, our doggies are such important members of our family, and always positive and jolly. Our son who raised two feral cats for 22 years said as much as he cared for them, he said that joke about cats really being outer space beings living amoung us is true. Even the friendly affectionate ones are other worldly. Currently Katie is fascinated by ice. She begs for chips of ice. We give her a few pieces but not sure if that’s bad for her or not.
I am being tempted by a friend to try to make a tube quilt. Easy and quick. I have been looking at the YouTube videos on making them. It would be fun to make a quilt. I am having a quilt made for our son’s sailt boat. It has the name of his boat and the registration number as well as other marine designs. He may not be thrilled with a quilt but it sounded like a good idea at the time. It might be too much of a granny gift........hummmmm maybe.

Hello. An interesting trip out to the seminar this morning. Much more traffic this year as the area expands. Entire housing development has sprung up close to the meeting site which was out in the country a few years ago. So sad to see loads of houses on tiny little lots, all with a plot of grass but not one tree planted.
Picked up a load of books at the library and met another lady to sell a couple of things. Just a few dollars here and there. Have been putting up additional listings this evening. Never know what someone may like. I am usually quite surprised at what folks apparently do not like.
Anne, my goodness, lots to be considered with your surgery. So they may be able to fix one eye but not the other? And thank you, I did have a giggle at the story of the gentleman who didn’t understand the instructions.
Patsy, a tube quilt? Must look that up as well as I have no idea what that might be. You and John have your own specialities and talents. At least you do not get in each other’s way. I hope he was okay today. Quite soon after his fall, I would think he would still be sore. Happy Katie. She has people to watch over.
Sandy, yes, a day off. I had to go back and look over the photos again. That hat is spectacular. I just love it. He must be thrilled with it. And hope your day with the kids goes well tomorrow.
Jackie, ah what a picture of Betty. Totally at home in your lovely chair. And I agree, quite regal.
Buzz, I hope your PT went well today. I have days of foggy vision too. I blame it on a combination of allergies and dry eyes. But really, I have no idea.
Jeri, I checked out a Hillerman book today. But I brought 8 books home so it may be a while before I pick that one up.
I need to go to soak my feet for a while after I take out the trash. Should make for happy tootsies.
Hugs to my long distance friends.

Yep, the PT walked me almost to the elevator before declaring I seemed much better than several months ago. Not huffing and puffing as much! And yes, I have dry eye and use drops.
AND i'M LESS SWOLLEN THA N BEFOR .E
Sorry, I keep nodding off and I must get to bed. Must follow my eyelids, I guess! I don't recall what ANNE was referring to. Could not find why she was at the new gorgeous Dr...

Quick note from me for now. The dishy doc wants to get to the bottom of the scarring and injury behind my eye BUZZ, before I have lenses removed for blurring and maybe not cataracts at all. My other eye seems normal LIN. I surmise my optician did not take me seriously when I said my veins had broken from the prescribed pills. The dishy doc hadn't heard of it either but realizes I was at the hospital and he wants a thorough check by an expert before I go gallivanting off to have cataracts removed.
I think that's what it's all about anyway, me not being at all interested in medical stuff.
Meanwhile I'm on a fitness campaign. Brisk half hour walk daily without Bean who likes to sniff and shuffle along, not much salt and a cut down of generous portions.
Anne.

Good morning. I am off for my weekly Mah Jongg game. Another sunny pleasant day here. Temperature has risen to 66 degrees F. Very nice.
Anne, I am glad dishy doc listened to you and is investigating further. Must be careful when surgery is involved. Happy walking, I would imagine you have one unhappy Bean when you leave without her.
Buzz, good job! Wahoo!
Must grab my card and get going.
Hugs.

Happy Tuesday! Beautiful day here but no pool day as I am sitting for kiddos this afternoon. Lisa has given me 5 dates of sitting from early morning (7:00AM) to late afternoon.
She wants to keep up her teacher's certification so she has to attend classes to do so. Although we all know how I hate mornings I can't say no. Her parents will be in Florida so they can't help. At least they are spread out, one in September, two in October and two in December. Robby will be in kindergarten for a few hours so that will help a little.
I only wish my foot would heal completely, it is still sore and making me depressed. There are far worse things to get depressed over so I have to take it one day at a time.
Lin, enjoy your Mah Jongg game, I know you love it.
Anne, your new hunky doctor sounds very good. So even if you don't end up with cataract surgery it was a good way to find this doctor and see if there is anything to do to help you.
Love your new health routine, not sure I could walk myself for a half hour a day. Not sure when I will ever be able to ride my bike again, bummer.
Hello to all and have a wonderful day.
Sandy

Just got back from the mail box shuffle with Beanie. Terribly hot and humid outside. Has been all of July. Not exactly a good time for a painful toe and heavy shoe SANDY if your weather is the same as here. Lucky LIN appears to have hit a cool front.
I think I eat healthily, just too much and today I proved it. Decided to weigh the handful of spaghetti I normally toss in the pot. 4 oz dry and it should only be 2 oz. Well, there's a clue! Cooked, I was just as satisfied with half the normal amount.
The dishy doc from NZ was originally born British and believe me this chap could give all the James Bond actors a run for their money. Nice easy going manner, no arrogance like some I could name. I wonder what the NZ girls thought when he got snagged from under their noses by a passing through Canadian girl! And to end up in our humble neighbourhood! He will probably move on, once established. We seem to get the newly arrived from distant lands. I'll tell you one thing, I'm sure my paler blue eyes have improved tremendously since peering into his dazzling blue peepers, lol.
Anne.

Partly cloudy but still quite warm and it will not be that wonderful cool sea breezy kind of day. I do seem to favor sort of cool misty weather. I have closets of sweaters and rain coats.
John worked until almost 8:00 pm on the deck repair. It was cooler in the early evening and it was still light. He seemed none the worse for wear, and he loves doing this kind of thing. I am lucky to have this in -house handyman. Even if he is getting a bit grizzled and grey around the chin!..just like me.
Tonight is another of the debates. It is a unique American circus. I have a notion that the debates mean very little in the final analysis. I suspect the candidate has already been chosen and we are just seeing the play -options, as they say. Still...interesting theater.
The warm weather has Katie off her food. She is low energy and not invested in her food at all. I am keeping a close eye on this. She is usually a chow-hound. She is still up for her morning game of ball.
Anne: do you have a crush on your doc? I think it is great that you like your new doctor and feel comfortable chatting with him. We have had the same doctor for 25 years. He is good to us but not sure he is up on all the info and procedures. Scary when we have to tell him about new health news. John is very interested in the health news and takes a couple of newsletters on elder healthcare.
Putting away laundry and considering mopping the kitchen. There are doggy paw prints all over. How or who would do such a thing?

It's rained all day so I'm sure my drought affected garden is smiling out there! Sue the gardener managed to clear all the geraniums and Red Campion that had become tatty while Blackberry spent the first hour of their visit sitting by the fridge waiting for a piece of cheese! He seemed to know when their 2 hour visit was coming to an end though because he then positioned himself by the gate to make sure he wasn't left again! What he doesn't know is he will be back early in the morning to spend a week with me while Sue and her other 5 dogs go visiting family. He has kidney problems so doesnt travel well. Hopefully he will be ok while staying with me.
Must now take an evening shower and wash my hair so I don't have to rush in the morning.
I'll have more time to catch up with you all then.
Jackie0 -
No PATSY, seriously, and as usual, just kidding. I don't think I've ever had a crush on anybody since the age of 17, and especially at my present age! However I do appreciate LOOKING at attractive things whether they be flowers, Jilly Beans, dragon flies, or attractive doctors. Coupled with the skill of actually listening, well that's irresistible!! And honestly, how many doctors do we know with full heads of hair and competing in the looks department with Sean Connery or Roger Moore in their hay day.
Mind you this tendency was also my downfall when very young. My ex was also extremely good looking and at 83 still is. After him, I learned my lesson and only dated nice, ordinary, comfortable, stay at home in their slippers guys.
Have you noticed whilst mentioning the hot, sticky, humid weather each day, I've actually managed not to moan about it and long for autumn and cool, crisp days. I too love cosy sweaters, long sleeved shirts, wrap around your neck scarves, trench rain coats and boots. And so I'll carry on not moaning because I know pretty autumn with its tumbling red and golden leaves is just a breath away. And then, the first snowflakes still thrill me to bits in this my second childhood.
I had some bad news last night. My friend Flo daughter phoned me to say her mom is in a decline and her and her brother don't know what to do with her. (Waiting lists for homes are very long and Flo is loudly opposed to being shuttled off). The daughter was extremely hysterical saying "I can't take this" because it had taken her and her partner 6 hours to clean Flo's home, wash sink loads of dirty dishes etc. with Flo telling them to go and leave her alone. The daughter says she can't take any more and needs to think of herself. THEN Flo's brother and his wife phoned me from Quebec! Same story. It seems the daughter is hoping we three will travel miles to sort and clean Flo out despite us being older than Flo and in our 80s now. I phone regularly and Flo assures me she is okay, lying says the daughter. Oh, and I barely know the daughter and Evelyn and Peter her uncle say they haven't spoken to her for 13 years. The moral of this story: I thank the Lord every day for my two lads. I try not to burden them and on the whole I'm fine, but then apart from the present eye problem I'm lucky to enjoy good health, touch wood. Poor Flo!
Any suggestions on how me, a rather long distance friend can help her?
Anne.

Oh ANNE my dear, other than calling or visiting (sounds like a real distance) there is not much you can or should do! When a person is so unrealistic about the realities of aging and planning, it does not automatically fall upon your shoulders! Perhaps they can bring in an aide for a few hours a day (or week) to take care of the least pleasant jobs! I wish you good luck with that injured eye!
When it comes to hot sticky weather, I couldn't say what our weather is beyond the daily heavy showers. I never go out! Just live and breathe my blessed A/C! And I AM trying to walk a bit more each day, and add the PT leg exercises as I get off the bed. The therapist does NOT want me to tire myself out! I use the oxygen when sleeping or if I feel a huff-puff advancing! Gave up taking the portable concentrator down to dinner and seem to feel fine!
Do I want to hear the debates tonight? So far I'm avoiding them planning, it does not automatically fall upon your shoulders! Perhaps they can bring in an aide for a few hours a day (or week) to take care of the least pleasant jobs! I wish you good luck with that injured eye!

A lot cooler today, in fact when I took the dogs out just before 9am it was only 14c, 10c cooler than yesterday! Blackberry was dropped off first thing so although he had already walked with his family I took him with George and Betty for a stroll on the moors.... well we stroll, Blackberry runs everywhere then wears himself out but that's not a bad thing, he's now resting on my feet under the desk as I type!
Sandy, feet being feet, that stress fracture will take time to repair because unless you sit with them up and never move there's going to be pressure on the area isn't there. They say patience is a virtue and I admit right here I have very little these days but hang in there otherwise it will just take longer but you know all that!
Anne, when I got back to weighing food like porridge, cereals and pasta I was amazed how small a quantity I should be eating. Needless to say I was putting far too much in a bowl when, as you say, the correct amount satisfies.
Hmmm, I'd say stay away from an optician that says you need cataracts removed if in fact you don't have them... what's that about! You are going in the right direction now as it sounds your new found doctor is a listener and that's always a good start!
That is such a sad situation your friend Flo has slipped into, but if her daughter isn't inclined to help by regularly visiting and somehow keep on top of the cleaning dishes she surely can't expect you to be in a position to help. A practical way forward would be for her daughter to seek help from her local authority's adult social care department and arrange a daily visit from a support worker. They offer all sorts of assistance and I'd have thought a daily half hour visit would cover a lot of areas so long as Flo is still feeding herself and getting to and from bed ok. They do their best to keep people in their own home rather than a care facility so should cooperate with her daughter. Of course the biggest task will probably be getting Flo to accept someone visiting each day but you never know, she might get to know the carer and enjoy the company. Meanwhile I have to say her daughter should remember the days, weeks and months her mother cleaned up after her.... it's called role reversal!!
At some point Betty swapped with Blackberry and is now snoring on my feet.... a touch of jealousy I think!
Good morning to everyone I missed. Gosh, Wednesday already. Where's my life going?
Jackie0 -
Well my quiet life is really going to the dogs! Latish evening yesterday and a knock on the door. It was youngest son Mark. I should tell you that during the upheaval I caused with eyes and dishy docs Mark mentioned my grandson Derek and Bev are looking for a house to buy in our town. I said jokingly with a touch of seriousness, "you should buy me a condo in Michael's building and they should come and live here". Well apparently it was suggested to Derek and he, bless him, said "we can't just kick gran out of her house". Now, Mary Jo is friends with an agent and she checked Mikes building and the top floor pent house had just come up for sale, hence Mark galloping over. What did I think since we had talked of me moving in with Michael. Well! Living apart but in the same building would be super! More walks for Jilly Bean, and me knowing help if needed was just downstairs. Plus SANDY, a beautiful swimming pool in beautiful grounds. "Ooh, yes please" said Anne, "it was my idea after all".
Alas. At this point the phone rang, Mary Jo to tell us an offer had been put in and accepted and it hadn't been up for sale for more than a few hours! Maybe it will fall through! Maybe another one will come up for sale! It would be great for me, and wonderful for Derek and Bev living here, close to the pretty down town, restaurants, theatre, library, lake etc and if a great grandchild comes along, a good school just around the corner.
So girls do a bit of wishing for me will you. I could never afford a condo by myself and seemed doomed to watch the garden become a jungle and be snowed in at Christmas! I won't be able to believe my luck if condo living transpires!
Thanks for the Flo suggestions all put to the daughter by Evelyn, Peter and me. Can't afford it said daughter. Apparently she had emailed them with a curt "I can't afford a long distance phone call, please call me back, it's concerning mother." They called me instead at first because they'd had no contact with Debbie for years! And they thought initially Flo had died.
It's all go up here, as if the mosquitoes weren't enough!

Happy Wednesday!! Pool day and then to bingo. Kiddos wore me out once again but they sure are cute. Ewok is back from camp and seems a tiny bit more calm, but still has a ways to go. I still prefer puppy classes where I learn with the puppy.
Anne, prayers will be said for the sale to fall through or a new one comes on the market soon.
Sounds ideal, being in the same building but still independent living. I have no advice that the others didn't give about your friend, just be there for her in calls and spirit.
Jackie, good luck with Blueberry (love the name) he will love being with you since you are the animal whisperer.
Buzz, glad you are on the mend but please don't overdo it and for heavens sake stop staying up all night, that is not beneficial to your health.
Lin, must have had an early start on her day. Hope it is something fun.
Patsy, Daisy does the same in hot weather but eats when hungry.
Jeri, hello.
Have a great day.
